Carvana Repeatedly Reschedules Deliveries and Cancels Orders Without Customer Consent
Buyers purchasing vehicles through Carvana face repeated unilateral delivery date changes, unauthorized order cancellations, and price increases while their funds remain held and unavailable for alternative purchases.

The DMV refuses to issue the title until the names match exactly, while neither the lender nor the DMV has a straightforward process to reconcile the discrepancy. Customers wait years for a clear title on a car they fully own.
