Carvana warranty denies rental car after transmission failure

A customer whose truck suffered transmission failure just over 1,000 miles after purchase found that Carvana and its warranty partner SilverRock refused to provide a rental car during repairs. This exposes a gap in used-car warranty coverage that leaves buyers without transport during major failures.
