“I live in Montana. Two years ago I bought a used car from a dealer here that could not provide a CarFax report. At the time of the purchase the dealer was not able find a report on the Internet, nor was I able to find one. Somehow it didn't exist. Since I purchased the car I have been able to find the CarFax report, perhaps by purchase triggered its availability?? What I discovered was the car had been in a debilitating front end collision, which was not disclosed to me. This was discovered after having two years of front end problems with this car. They replaced the transmission multiple times, the engine block as well. I have had numerous electrical issues and failures too. It has been in the shop more than I have been able to drive it. Of course, this would have been clear to me had there been a CarFax report at the time of purchase. Can someone explain to me how this is even possible?? Once a VIN number is established, how can a report go missing?? I’m really disappointed in CarFax for allowing this to happen.”

“My car fax was altered by someone in the process of the trade. It stated that the air bags were deployed when someone hit the rear number of my vehicle going less than 5 MPH. The police report plainly stated that no air bags were deployed. I for one will never trust a car fax again. The police report was brought to the attention of the dealer.”

“We recently purchased a used 2009 Chevrolet 3500 Silverado from Toyota of Cleveland in Tennessee. The Carfax records seemed to be accurate as to the previous services and maintenance on the vehicle ,BUT what was VERY inaccurate was that the vehicle's previous 3 owners had listed "No Issues Reported and/or Indicated", which is clearly not the case. As per the most updated Carfax anyone can see we have had quite the maintenance record in the short period of time we have owned it. The truck still doesn't operate properly. We don't feel CarFax has wronged us as by any means, but the inaccurate reporting from the dealerships listed on the Carfax who have worked on the vehicle seems unethical and very inappropriate.”

“I was looking at 2 different cars both were Honda Civic CRX. Carfax had one of the vehicles at $1225.00 above average retail, not bad for a 26 year old car. The other vehicle showed it had been driven an excessive amount of miles in the past year. Not hard to decide which one I picked. thanks Car Fox.”

“I would never recommend car fax. I paid online to check a report and it never would let me get the report and still took money out of my account. Also, it shows my car is totaled when it has never been and I have a letter showing it never has from insurance company and y'all won't remove it. Advertising False information.”

“In 2006, I bought a 2003 Ford Mustang. It was in a major accident in 2007. The car was valued at $11,000.00, at the time, and there was over $8000.00 damage. I tried to get the insurance company to total it, but they wouldn't. I sold what was left of it to a guy who put it back together. Guess what! The accident didn't show up on CARFAX at all. THANKS CARFAX. I bought a 2001 Ford Mustang in 2007. I paid for a CARFAX report to ensure it was not in an accident. I sold the car recently and the buyer did another CARFAX. It showed that it was in an accident in 2005 and had to be towed. It was posted in 2008. THANKS AGAIN CARFAX....”

“The report doesn't show that it has 64,000 miles on it? I already had this report with the dealer and decided to pay for one with you to have a more up to date report and even e-mailed carfax and received no response.Thanks for wasting my money!!!”

“You must give information about car accidents. Dealers use no information about car accidents other then it happened to pay nothing for a trade in. Your company is unfair and a joke. I have written to my elected state and federal policy makers to stop your incomplete and misleading information. If you state that a car was in an accident your must provide information about what that accident was about, and not let dealers decrease the value of a car without the complete information. You must not be allowed to to be a spokesmen for dealers to decrease the car value without any information.”

“The display of the service plans are really confusing and I was deceived by it. And the customer service was really hard for me to communicate with and they did not satisfy me by admitting their misrepresentation. AutoCheck, the competitor of CarFax, has the quite similar quality of the report but it has much lower prices for seemingly similar service plans. But the unlimited plan of CarFax is even less economical than it seems. The unlimited plan of CarFax, one of all the three plans, is limited to only 5 reports for VIN number so it is NOT unlimited. The other two plans (1 or 5 reports) deal with VIN# and Plate# equally. But there was no description about this distinction (VIN# & Plate#, or VIN# only) on the purchase page (The below URL). I found out that it mentions only U.S. License Plate for the unlimited plan after I purchased it. (The thing is that the other two plans do NOT mention either VIN# or Plate# so I did not even compare these three plans from this perspective). I asked them to refund it but they did not think that it is misleading. How would you guys think? For me, this is really misleading information. I would not have bought this plan if I had noticed it. https://secure.carfax.com/creditCard.cfx?partner=CAR_0# http://support.carfax.com/articles/Question_and_Answer/Does-CARFAX-have-an-unlimited-reports-package/?l=en_US&fs=Search&pn=1”

“Well the carfax said everything looked good on the car. Clean title no wrecks good service record. It was a Mazda 3. So I bought the car and it started acting funny. The rpms were all over the place they wouldn't hold and it ended up causing me to lose control in the winter do a 180 hitting a wall with the back end. It just scuffed the bumper and bent the exhaust a little(I was going maybe 20 mph). The dealer did the repair and took me around to look at it, showing where paint was under the door handle and how some emblems are missing but were found cleaning the vehicle under the seats. Apparently the car had been wrecked twice before me. I had to trade it in because nobody would buy it. Carfax, a complete waste of my money. I forgot this situation because it was about 5 years ago and paid for it again! Don't bother. Get a body shop to look at a car you want to buy.”

“I paid for one CARFAX report. That's all I wanted. I have received an outrageous number of solicitations and emails since then. I am sick of CARFAX. Leave me alone, I will contact you when I want to use your services again. Because of the solicitation, that will be never. Leave me the f*** alone. I have opted out of your services already. Go away. Go away CARFAX.”

“Car fax is so incomplete and over priced I will not use it again. I checked my own car. I bought it outright in 2002 new. Carfax said it had lean against it and only 11 service records. It has been dealer serviced by Honda every 3000 miles since new. It now has 155000 on it. That's the only thing it got right.”
