I sued CarFax in Riverside CA Superior Court for posting several erroneous reports including the "One Owner" report I relied on when I bought a "termite infested" Cadillac STS. It turns out there were 4 or more owners and never would have bought the car had I known that. Prior to this, they posted a 3-4 owner report they changed to "One Owner" prior to my buying the car and relying on the Dealer's link to the report.I have a default judgment against the dealer but waiting for CarFax's answer I gave their attorney an extension on to 11/14. Anybody out there want a piece of this? Could be worth some real money damages. 128b2b9

| 2. Written by Jon L. on April 9, 2012 from crystal lake, illinois, US I bought a certified used Toyota with a clean Carfax history. I discovered the vehicle was infested with mice and had been in an accident before. The general manager of the dealership offered to cancel the deal and let me buy a new car. The g.m. said he was sending the car back to the auction house from where he got it; he also said he was angry with his service manager for certifying the vehicle. In the meantime, that dealership has listed the car for $3000 more than I bought it and certified it again. They also advertised the vehicle as a one owner vehicle, but the Carfax showed two owners. Now when I look at the Carfax, my ownership of the vehicle has disappeared. Is that legal? |
| 3. Written by Kris on April 3, 2012 from middletown, connecticut, US How do we proceed with a lawsuit? 9 months after I purchased my vehicle Carfax placed a serious accident on the report, which occurred 2 plus years ago and long before I owned it. At the time of my purchase, the report was clean, which I had relied upon to buy. Now that I want to trade the vehicle which I paid top dollar for is now only worth wholesale. |
| 4. Written by Nomi on March 30, 2012 from elgin, illinois, US I went to Toyota dealer to buy a 2011 Toyota Camry. Dealer presented a clean car fax on the preowned Camry I liked. For the *** of it, I ran my own report and the same Camry was involved in multiple accidents, but dealers carfax report didnot indicated that. I have a reason to believe that dealers are using some kind of a software tool to alter the carfax report. Beware of this scams that New car dealers are using. Do your own carfax search have the vehicle inspected by a reputable mechanic. It may save you heartaches in the long run. |

| 6. Written by Kris Mac on March 30, 2012 from bucksport, maine, US I went to trade my vehicle in, turns out during my ownership they arbitrarily added an "accident" that supposedly occured 2 owners ago, and two plus years ago. They have destroyed any equity I would have had in this vehicle since the dealer states the vehicle needs to be wholesaled now. WTF ??? Not only can you not CALL CARFAX, they make you go through this ridiculous process to correct something they DID !!! |

| 9. Written by Henry Ford on January 11, 2012 from denver, colorado, US I am shocked that any arm of the automotive industry would not be 100% honest with the general public! How long has this been going on? And, I assumed Carfax was looking out for the consumer. Shocked, just shocked! I am going to go for a long ride to calm down in either my Edsel or Corvair. Happy motoring. |
| 10. Written by Marta on January 6, 2012 from robstown, texas, US CARFAX, not Carmax. The car came from the Dodge dealership in Tulsa. CARFAX is supposed to buy the car back if the title isn\'t clear. RIGHT? WRONG. THEY JUST DENY IT. |
