GTA Online players have plenty of opportunities to collect a wide variety of vehicles, from bikes and cars to helicopters and fighter jets. These vehicles can be stored in the garages and hangars of GTA Onlinebut space is not unlimited, and this is where problems can start.
The players of GTA Online have discussed an issue with the game’s interface and options that often results in the loss of one of these valuable vehicles. The problem has been around for years, but unfortunately it keeps making cars disappear, leaving players with very little resources.
The GTA Online issue in question occurs when players purchase or otherwise acquire a new vehicle that needs to be stored. When the option to store a vehicle appears, players can choose from their various garages.
Nevertheless, if the game attempts to store a vehicle in a garage and there is no space for it, a message appears asking the player to “replace” a vehicle with the new oneor the player can put the new car in a different garage that has open slots available.
Unfortunately, the wording of “substituting” a car here makes many players believe that they are basically swapping the cars. Players on reddit commented that they expected his current car to be moved to a new garage, or simply left near the player so he could move it to a new location himself.
However, neither of the two possibilities is reality; instead, the selected car is completely removed from the player’s account.
Accidentally deleting a vehicle is a big problem for gamers. Buying a new vehicle in GTA Online can cost millions of in-game GTA$, meaning players would have to spend a ton of time playing the game to earn money or spend real world money to replace the vehicle.
