Resolved: Correction on CARFAX

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My car was stolen and recovered on the same day. CARFAX reported it stolen but never recovered.

So when I try to get a trade-in value number, it only shows it's been stolen. I need them to update their CARFAX on my car because it's dropped my car value tremendously.

They are showing frame damage on my vehicle.When there is none and i've had, it reported by two professional dealerships, and they still will not accept that they said, I have to have three. But yet only 1 party individual put on there, there was frame damage and they accepted that, but they won't accept at least 2 dealerships, saying there's no frame damage.

Original review Oct 21, 2025

A third party put on there that I had frame damage on my vehicle. I had my Chevrolet dealership.

Look at the car and stated There was no frame damage to the truck at all.

And I also had a body shop look at it as well that can confirm. There was no fr

Incorrect information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The mileage listed with Carfax is much higher than the actual mileage. The auto is a 2025 Subaru Forester purchased new.

My mileage is 528. Carfax was showing over 2,500 miles.

Conflicting odometer reading

There has to be some sort of mistake. I bought this vehicle on February 24, 2021 from Fox Audi in Grand Rapids Michigan.

It showed 81,000 miles. Im trying to get a copy of the Carfax. It was run back then as opposed to the current Carfax when I tried to trade it in that shows that there was odometer tampering And it came up with 88,000 not 81,000 having enough faith in fox Auto to believe they didnt do it.

I have to believe us an error on someones part entering the mileage, but I need to get this resolved. Please call me at 616-560-**** or email me at.edwardlis.law@***.com.

I took my vehicle to a Nissan dealer and they put the wrong mileage down for my truck so it looks like it got rolled back and it didn't. Plus I should not have to fix this myself that's a big problem i need my issue fixed ASAP

Follow up oncarfax report

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Case has been open since August 23 and nothing has been done yet. I had provided all of the required documents and yet, the issue still hasn't been resolved.

I've lost four serious customers because of that issue. The car had a clean title from the DMV as well as the auction; however, it is still showing total loss on CarFax.

Something was wrong with your reporting of the odometer reading on my vehicle. I need to correct it so I can trade it in and not lose $4,000.
