Example complaints

Steering: “I am a representative from an auto repair facility in charge of the repairs and maintenance of a fleet of emergency vehicles. This is an ambulance conversion and at 30,152 miles, it was found to have excessive vertical play in all four tie rod ends up to 1/4. There is no lateral play as in normal wear over a longer period of time. It is believed this is a defect in manufacturing and is a safety hazard.”

Electrical system: “While stopped at a thruway rest area in w. Virginia. It had been raining quite a bit on this - our first day of vacation. Our new 2014 Ford E-350 would not shift out of park! All of the dash lights started flashing, then stopped, then flashed again. This happened a few times. The truck would start would not shift out of park. After discussions with Ford roadside assist, the truck was towed to a Ford dealer. The main engine electrical component's compartment was not sealed correctly, letting water into the compartment and shorting out the electrical system in the truck. …”

NHTSA complaint #10722657, filed 2015-06, 1,180 miles

Engine: “Carvana is attempting to sell this vehicle in Lehi, Utah. After speaking with the Ford dealership that worked on it for an “internal transmission repair” they told me the the vehicle’s engine is bad (full long block replacement is recommended and the dealership told me it’s dangerous) and needs a new engine. The previous owner was told this and then turned around and sold it to Carvana. I told Carvana this and they did nothing about it and it is still for sale. Please protect anyone looking to purchase this vehicle as it is not safe.”
