Car fax account?

Any one have access to a car fax account? I need to run the VIN on my car. Audi dealer is saying that the car fax is showing airbag deployment. Never happened; and and I was just a Carmax two weeks ago and the appraiser said nothing about a deployment. Very weird.

I'm sorry to hear that, and I don't have a Carfax account. FWIW, Carfax is such a horrible product. They have absolutely no responsibility/culpability for reporting either accurate OR timely information. They added a prior owner's accident to my Touareg's record FOUR MONTHS after I bought it with a CLEAR Carfax. Because of that, no dealer would take my trade without trying to murder me on the value. Awful.

Yes, it is really frustrating. I have sent them the police accident report and they still are not taking responsibility.

Since Carfax is a scumbag organization which has a monopoly on the market, class actions take forever and are uncertain, and you know the truth about your car, you may have to sell it to a private party.
