Rockstar Doesn't Know Why Your GTA Car Hole Ate Your Car
At least, not yet, but driving another character's personal vehicle may have something to do with it.
It's a dilemma any car owner can empathize with: GTA players claim that their garages are devouring their tricked-out vehicles. The bug seems to affect upgraded vehicles in particular, and may kick in after mission completion. One minute the car's there, shining, magnificent; the next, gone, as if it had never been. Rockstar isn't sure how this happens, but wonders if the trigger is driving another character's personal vehicle. It doesn't have a means of getting the car back once it vanishes into the car hole's capricious maw.
Rockstar points out that a vehicle doesn't switch garages overnight, like some four-wheeled Flying Dutchman. If you leave it in Safehouse A's garage, it will stay in Safehouse A's garage; it doesn't also appear in Safehouses B and C as well. That's a design feature, not a bug. Though, if you're really lucky, you might have the experience one Guardian journalist claims to have had, when his garage spawned two cars [http://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2013/sep/24/game-links-press-start] where only one was before.
Rockstar's working on the problem. "In the meantime," it says, "please try to avoid parking a car in a garage, driving one already in a garage, or getting in a default vehicle, when playing as a character other than the one with your upgrades."
