Man Sues Dealership After Loaner Car Gets Reported as Stolen

- Jamie Rodgers says he was terrified when cops pulled him over. The armed cops believed Rodgers stole the Kia SUV. The car he was driving was reported stolen by a California Kia dealership. However, the car was not stolen. It was a loaner vehicle that Rodgers and his wife say the dealer gave them to use while their car was having extensive repairs. Now, the couple is suing the dealership, which denies their allegations. Inside Edition’s Jim Moret has more.
How can the dealership deny the allegation when they're the one that reported it stolen?
Mind blowing.
It's utterly pathetic.
My exact same thought
Basic defense
@@TrebleTS20Yeah, you never admit fault immediately. This will be quietly settled out of court. They clearly reported the car stolen. In depositions, they’ll have to admit it was given as a loaner car and a police report was filed as stolen-open and shut case.
This should never have happened, I hope he wins the lawsuit.
Me too 👍🏻
Yeah I don't see why he wouldn't it seems like a pretty open and shut case
@@SuperSlimshady1 exactly 👍🏻
They probably head straight to settlement
I hope he wins the lawsuit as well.
We reported the car stolen, and we also deny we reported it stolen. What jokers
That is the USA for ya.
No accountability nor responsible for the report.
So they don’t have CCTV camera to see that the man visit the office , sign a document and was HANDED the key or vehicle??? Wtf is wrong with these people?!?!
You need to lend them some of your common sense. The dealership obviously doesn't have any.
Exactly man, they didn't even TRY to see where the car went. They just couldn't see it, so they automatically assumed stollen without even knowing how the car was moved. Hell, they apparently couldn't even ask their own employee's if they knew where the car went.
Imagine living a life where every time you misplaced something and instead of looking for it you called the cops because someone must have stolen it.
Yes someone jumped the gun. Got all excited to call the police without doing proper research.
Money
@@ladydi1079 dude, it's Kia. They DEFINITELY have some
It was not a “mistake”. It was negligence. How do you loan out a car, forget the paperwork, and then call it in as stolen?
“We don’t know how we lost the paperwork! It was right here and BAM!”
Y’all think one person works at a dealership or something? Incredibly stupid but not a jailable offense lmao.
@@undefined69695 doesn't change the fact that it was negligence. They could have gotten that man killed
Hmm what did we do with the paper work? Must be stolen yeah that’s it
@@EmmureMARIO64 One would think with the age of technology, all that information would've been in their computer database too.
"Fallen behind a cabinet" is the business version of "my dog ate my homework"
The government version is it was placed on the wrong shelf. Happened to me with some paperwork I filed at the courthouse. If I hadn’t kept calling because it was taking so long they’d have never found it.
I mean do people even have filing cabinets any more?
Dealerships don't even do paperwork anymore. Everything is done electronically and your copy is given to you on a credit card thumb drive or texted/emailed directly to you. Dealerships is just lying.
@@cassandradistin9699 *Younger Gen: What's a filing cabinets?*
@@cassandradistin9699yes lmfao
the dealership even called the wife and told her they just reported the car stolen... if they had indeed Lost the agreement then how did they know the phone number?
They called her to tell her about the mistake... obviously they found the agreement and immediately called her. Too bad they they didn't bother to find it BEFORE calling the police.
🤔🤫
Because they had their car in for repairs. The police probably let them know it was recovered and they realized what had happened. Not rocket science.
I hope he gets a jury for his case. The dealership needs to pay dearly for their mistake.
This is never going to make it to court. The dealership will settle before it gets that far. Like the dealership wants to leave it up to the jury to decide how much in punitive damages should be awarded to the plaintiff.
@@thenerdnetworkand probably file bankruptcy so they don’t have to pay him. Happens too often. Let’s hope it’s a chain and not a single location.
@@eshuorishas9987 good
@@thenerdnetworkIt's the plaintiff's right to reject any settlement offer and demand a jury trial -- along with legal fees and court costs.
How can a dealership make such a mistake when they gave him the car?
that's a question I don't think anybody can answer
right, you know the information was in their system. All they had to do was look it up when they saw it was gone before ever contacting police.
@@illumonic9026 true, but that would be too smart for a money grubbing business like a dealership
It wasn’t a mistake … wink wink😜
What do they care? Rental car companies do this all the time too
Why was he considered armed and dangerous?
You know exactly why 😂
Exactly 😂
Color of his skin.
And the fact it's california.
bc you dont steal a car with ur feets
@Xtremecherry95YT 😂😂😂 California, try the deep South. Especially Alabama and Mississippi.
There is a huge difference between saying that a car was stolen versus armed and dangerous!
I’m a little confused, if it was reported stolen only how does that equal to armed and dangerous? Did the dealership report that the man had a weapon or used violence? Do police always assume someone is armed and dangerous when a car is stolen?
Could be their department policy
"For their safety"
Police do this to every stolen car
It is standard procedure to reported car thieves as armed and dangerous, I think it's because you could hide quite a few weapons in said car.
@@blitsriderfield4099Makes sense. Officers showed a lot of restraint not shooting him 🥴
The dealership lost the loaner agreement within minutes of it being filled out? The employee couldn't say, "oh yeah, that car was loaned out, but I've misplaced the contract." Then called the police as if you never loaned the car out. Called the wife, not the husband who was in said car to admit the mistake. Not only sue, but someone needs to lose their job for causing all of that chaos.
Agreed. This is one of the idiotic things that I have ever seen in my life. Why would a employee misplaced something that they made a deal to the loaner.
Because in America, calling the police is always the answer. Here in the UK, more questions would have been asked before dispatching.
The employee should be going to prison, the entire dealership needs investigated, this happens more often than not, and it’s done on purpose.
These sales flow through like in a McDonald’s. the contract was never entered in a computer.
No mixup, someone at the dealership should go to jail!
Lose the paperwork so they can't even be bothered to check their own security footage if someone took the car off their lot suspiciously, just immediately call police and say it was stolen by an armed person?
They said in the report to police "A black guy was seen roaming in the premises and he might have took the car" which they gave it to him
I work at a dealer everyone up front is restarted
It's Kia, not Mercedes. There's no way they would have video cameras. I work at a Nissan dealership, I haven't seen video cameras at any non-luxury car dealerships. Brand new Cadillac dealership opened close by me, no video cameras either. This is in DFW Texas.
@@DOHC2Lthat’s crazy because every rundown gas station has security cameras. Why would only luxury dealerships have them? Not like they’re a big expense.
@@I_like_aliens_from_marsIf that’s true, just wow. What a lousy establishment
My guess is the dude at the dealership didn't like him and decided to SWAT him, then try to cover it up
Police should charge management at that dealership as well. They were put in a bad position as well. Hope this guy wins his case, utterly ridiculous.
the dealership has full responsibility .
shame on that responsibility.
shame on the lack of it
It’s definitely black privilege, though. If this happened to a white guy, law firms wouldn’t be so eager to take his case. The law firms know the black guy will win purely on that
The dealership almost got him killed. If he doesn't force them to pay millions, they'll do it again.
Pay him millions! OMFG! That's not even worth $100 bucks.
Pay him 50 million
@@bigd3046 Not about the amount. It's about making the dealership to actually put proper processes and practices to prevent it from happening in the future again. Not just this dealership, but all dealerships.
Pay him millions? Lol
I don't know about millions but definitely should be some sort of pay. That's crazy they need to be held accountable
He better own the entire dealership when it’s said and done! 😡
Hear hear!!!!
We lost the paperwork showing we lent it to you, soooo we reported it stolen. Perfect logic..
My son used to work for a car dealership and said the front office loses keys and then runs to the detail team accusing them of having the keys! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
He's right! They wouldnt ask...they would accuse! 2 cars were stolen off the BMW lot because the dealers left the keys out on their desks after closing they blamed the technicians and detailers and required us to get finger printed to prove it was an inside job. Refusal of providing finger prints was termination. I live in Florida
My Brother said the exact same thing! The Detailers get the blame for everything that goes wrong
@@ninam.1560 Tell him to document all of those interactions! Keep his phone at his side while recording so he at least picks up the audio. Start building his case against the people making accusations
I remember that one time me and my brother went to look at cars. My brother saw one that he really liked and the dealer guy said to keep looking at it that he was going to go look for the keys to look at the inside. While looking we saw that the keys were already in the ignition and my brother tried opening the car door and it was unlocked. The guy took about 40 minutes to come back to his surprised he found us inside the car waiting for him. He was so confused and concerned on how we got in the car since he couldn't find the keys until we told him.
@@patinpatin12 alot of dudes would have gotten a free car that day
How the hell do you deny something that actually happened? WTF?
Because they know they're screwed.
"We need to buy enough time to make up a credible story to get us off the hook for this."
I am curious if they didn’t update the information in the computer system; that the car was loaned to someone and who.
I am never going to borrow a car from any dealership. If I do, I’m gonna ask them to email that document to me that shows I borrowed the car from here. I got more trust issues after watching this than I did in the past.
White people
America
If you're the dealership... and one of your loaner cars just happens to go missing... wouldn't you think to contact the customer who last had it? Maybe there's some sort of mix up?
They literally lost the agreement…. Its the whole reason it was reported stolen…how they gonna call the customer when there is no agreement with a phone number?
@@quasar3210
They should online/digital records and signatures of some kind, along with CCTV footage. There's a lot of ways they could have handled it better but calling the police to report the vehicle stolen by an "armed and dangerous individual" seems like the largest overreaction over uncertainty.
How exactly did the police think he was armed and dangerous unless the idiots who reported it stolen also reported being robbed for the vehicle at gunpoint
The dealership has no choice but to settle this. Hit their pockets good so this does not happen again. Make sure it's enough to pay off a house, 2 brand new cars and college tuition for your kids, and lawyer fees. At that point y'all can call it even.
Plus any taxes and fees.👍

How do you go from not being able to find important paperwork to calling the police and reporting the car stolen 🤷
And saying he's an armed car thief for no reason
This is what I don't get. Someone that worked at the dealership clearly gave him the keys. Why not, you know, ask your employees if anyone knows what happened to the car before reporting it stolen?
Ever heard of the saying, "I'm surrounded by idiots". The paperwork is missing = stolen car. 🤦
A lot of things aren't black and white but this one sure sounds like it. Modest looking black dude. Two things come to my racist sale man who was supposed to help him or sale person didn't like something the customer did or said and got back at him for it .
I think the dealer wanted the car, couldn't find it on the lot so they checked to see if it were loaned out and when then couldn't find the papers they assumed it was stolen. But come on this was in 2021, do you mean to tell me there is no computer record of the car being loaned out? No...everything is on the computer these days, the "paper" is just a print out to be filed away or given to the customer. That begs the question, did the customer actually have the loaner agreement in the car?
They lost the loanership agreement? Don't they have it in their computer or at least a filing cabinet or at least save multiple copies?!?! Absolutely ridiculous
It " fell behind the filing cabinet " was their excuse
@@thomasfletcher760 I heard that part. Such a lame and pathetic excuse
Every document nowadays is scanned before being put away or being registered. That is a poor excuse. I hope they become millionaires.
Some places have real scummy staff who will do what ever they can to screw someone over, just to get money out of them. Had a friend of mine who rented a car from a car rental, and 3 days later got pulled over as the company had reported the car stolen, when he still had more than a week to return it. He sued and won the case, the rental company had apparently had a small record of claiming some cars as stolen. said location was shut down and all the staff arrested.
What’s really ridiculous was how much power the police was packing. I mean… assault rifles over a car theft? And the way they still aimed at him when he didn’t even try to escape in the car (I imagine that last one was part of a standard procedure to ensure the safety of the officers, but still.)
wtf kind of dealership calls 911 and says the car is missing just bc they cant find the papers, they should be sued
As crazy as this may sound the police handled this pretty well. The dealership should be sued beyond belief.
Yeah I kind of thought the same thing. I’ve seen too many videos where police will scream conflicting orders then get physical when the suspect can’t do the impossible. The stakes here were obviously high, but that is on the dealer. The officer made the stakes clear. His orders were delivered calmly and well annunciated. I don’t see any allegations that the victim here was mistreated in any way. Its kind of like a SWATIng attempt although this one appears to be incompetence rather than malicious
@@jimland7176 Same with the victim for what it's worth. It helps that he's innocent, but you know that his heart was beating a mile a minute with god knows how much adrenaline coursing through him.
Stupid dealership do a better job at getting better office workers
They may have lost all there black customers and other races that don't like that kind of response.
Lost the paperwork for the car loan but were able to find the contact information to call the wife…They had the couples original car, they had their number. Why did this escalate?! WTF did they say in the police report to make the cops believe they were dealing with threat requiring five officers!? This does not add up.
Stealing cars from a dealer ship would most likely mean they were prepared for any consequences so there is reasonable suspicion for a armed person during a traffic stop as he couldn’t be identified by the loaned vehicle due to no info so they would be stopping an unidentified driver
I was thinking the same thing.
@angelc286 Excellent, well stated! Part of the questions the victim's attorney should be using at trial against Kiv liars at the dealership who intentionally caused this to happen!
@@oinkytheink1228you didn’t even try to respond to the points laid out. They had all the family’s information. They could have given them a call. They already called the wife.
What likely happened:
1. The couple placed their car in a mechanic's care, as it's said that they were getting repairs on it.
2. The couple licensed the dealership's car as a loaner while it was being repaired.
3. Through negligence of the employees, the loan agreement was lost behind a filing cabinet.
4. The Kia dealership, noticing a car missing and not having an agreement, assumed the car had been stolen and reported it as such to the police.
5. The loan agreement was found in AFTER the report, and the dealership called the wife through that information.
Step #4, of course, is the source of the lawsuit: Surely someone at the dealership would remember a car being stolen, attempt to locate the original papers, or look through security footage to see if the car had been taken legally or not. I can't say why the dealership assumed the suspect was armed and dangerous other than the general assumption of "You don't commit grand theft auto without a gun", and of course, that assumption is a key point in the lawsuit.
This is all just MY conjecture, of course.
Why involve the police when you know the loaner agreement was made but missing? Somethibg can only go missing if it was in existence. I hope they win big in their lawsuit.
Saying "allegations" is mind blowing! I'm surprised they didn't say "alleged!" The dealership was basically caught red-handed.
Suspicion of a crime shouldn't put you in extreme danger of being killed.
Welcome to America..
He wasn't in extrema danger. He complied and everything turned out fine.
@@hardwired4548He got lucky that the cops had their cameras on, the only way to keep those psychopaths in line is constant surveillance and a threat that they could lose their job and power, without cameras they would assult or kill whomever they wanted and fill out paperwork to get away with it

@@sinatraforeignSTFU. Fake news. The dealership never said he was armed. Standard practice is to always treat the occupants of a stolen vehicle as armed and dangerous.
Armed and dangerous? What the heck? People can't just accuse someone of having a gun on them. The police wouldn't assume that unless the person who called them told them that person had a gun on purpose.

@@Maximus90277 You sue the 1 that prescribed the order not the 1 that administered the order
The fact that the police announced that he was considered "ARMED & DANGEROUS" tells me that whomever reported the car stolen also told the police that the guy had a gun! My question is why? Was it done purposely to see what would happen to him? Was it a racial thing or did someone try to cover their behind when they couldn't find the paperwork? Idk but someone needs to be held accountable even if it was 20 years ago!

HOW did the cops get armed and dangerous from a 'stolen' vehicle report. How did they dig up all the armed cops to pull over a 'stolen' car. Something is very wrong with this whole story
I wish I could sue the police departments that beat me up and traumatized me. I have severe ptsd and am unemployed because I can't work due to the trauma. I'm glad this man wasn't abused by the cops or injured and that it was only the dealership to blame.
First off, how do you confuse loaning a car to a customer and thinking it was stolen? Second, where and how does "armed and dangerous" come into play in all of this? Third, the contract "fell behind the filing cabinet"? And lastly, why did the dealship call his wife and not the police to say it was all a big mixup? Something is definitely suspicious about that dealership.
Right. Fell behind the cabinet is crazy.
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf Not necessarily. I worked in an office for 27 years, and at one point while we were moving file cabinets around, we actually DID find a document that had been lost for quite some time, it can happen.
@@Joe_Okey 😆
ANY stolen vehicle report is automatically treated as though the person MAY be armed and dangerous. They only knew that they had a report of a stolen vehicle, and NOT that the report was false, so they made the CORRECT stop for the report that they had. Mr. Rodgers did exactly what they said to do, which is why he ended up being just fine in the end. The police did NOTHING wrong given the report that they were given.
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf More likely got paper-clipped to another document on a cluttered desk top, or was inadvertently thrown away with other unneeded paperwork that it was stuck to. Happened to me at the DMV, and caused me a lot of grief and money in the end.

Such ridiculous overkill. This is what's wrong with policing in America. Even if the car _were_ stolen, it doesn't justify this over-the-top military-style response. 😡
This customer is 1000% lucky the cop did not unalive him. Would the dealership still deny responsibility for this. Needs to be all over local and state news. Put them out of business but make sure this gentleman is extremely well compensated first.
I’m sorry. Dealership can deny all they want but they can’t argue with the video. Customer needs to win lawsuit and dealership needs to be charged with filing a false police report. Dealership also needs to lose their license.
Yes! And whoever the employee was needs to also be sued. Did an employee lose the paperwork and was trying to give his butt or something

@@ALo-yv2pjThey probably did it because it was via a place of business, and not privately owned vehicle.

@@SoloPilot6 Why would they be told that he was armed and dangerous? If the reason for the call was that Kia "lost" the paperwork, they shouldn't have any clue about the status of him being armed or not.

That has to have been a nightmare for this gentleman!! I’m so glad nothing happened. The dealership is 100% culpable.
I felt frightened for him watching this. Any judge looking at this can see this would cause someone psychological distress.
But... He's a decent person who complied with the police, so nothing happened. In most cases where police use force, the suspect is being a disrespectful unpredictable jackass.

@@javier7717Exactly as usual.
I think that was just behavior on the police part. Unless the Kia dealership gave a description of the person that they said stole it.
@javier7717 literally, why would a company care about skin color? It was a mistake(even though I don't know why the dealership would say he is armed and dangerous, as no injuries happened).
The description was awfully vague, so it could be anyone
They put him in unnecessary danger, and dealership can't even own up to it.
Their attorneys likely strongly advised against admitting fault. That particular KIA franchise would have garbage legal council had they not.
That is a well-deserved lawsuit. The dealership didn't do their due diligence. If they knew they were behind on the loan agreements and didn't bother to look in the pile.
This should be an open and shut slam dunk case, the dealership filed a false police report, there is the evidence of the loan agreement, the security footage of the couple getting the loaner vehicle as well as dropping off their own to be serviced. The only ones not at fault is the guy driving and the police for being told to expect an armed and dangerous car thief.

Sadly this is quite common with some rental companies especially Enterprise. There have been hundreds if not thousands of people who've been arrested for car theft because of stupid mistakes on the companies part.
The car was reported stolen by the dealership. How is that information turned into the police officer saying the person driving the car was armed and dangerous. The cop had to make that part up, if it wasn’t part of the police report.

The car should've been reported as missing not stolen and if these idiots had asked all the employees, "Does anyone know anything about a Hyundai Kona?" One of the employees would've been like, "yeah, I signed it out to Mr.X" or they could've checked their security camera to see if the car was actually stolen. They deserved to get sued.
If the car was taken at gunpoint, I can see the police saying he's considered armed and dangerous. But it wasn't, so why the over the top police response?
It was a car that was reported stolen; this is the normal procedure for a felony stop. There was a very similar case in Oceanside, CA, very close to where this happened, where a family on vacation were subjected to a felony stop because Hertz falsely reported the car stolen. There's a video of that case on TMJ4 News channel on RUclips.
@@dr.g3860It shouldn't be SOP considering there's a statistically significant chance they they're making a mistake...
@@danielboone8435well it is so get over it
@@stevesmith756 This is America, so I think I'll use my free speech about it, then maybe vote about it later. You get over it.
@@danielboone8435 well you don’t get to vote on SOP for law enforcement. So once again you’ll have to get over it
Okay the Dealership needs sueing.
But what made the driver armed and dangerous? Who reported that? That needs investigating as well.
It was a felony stop
Unfortunately police departments and our courts in all states and the federal level have deemed police lives over civilian lives. Anything reported stolen, especially cars, have policies to engage with maximum hostility, guns drawn, dogs could be out, etc.
@@RasAlXander You mean because stolen cars historically tend to be driven by people who aren't happy to go to jail....
That part!!!
@@RasAlXanderAnything reported stolen results in felony stops and maximum hostility? Name a single department and the policy code as to where that’s permitted.
Too many "Ooops" in today's society. If people would just do their job properly, this wouldn't happen nearly as often.
He didn’t get killed or roughed up because he obeyed and complied with the officer's commands...
What was going on in the wife's mind from her statement is part of the problem.
The gentleman did exactly what anyone (no matter the ethnicity/race) should do when stopped by law enforcement and the Orange County Sheriffs did exactly what they were supposed to do with the information that they were given.
Still, this situation was scary, should have never happened, and the dealership is 110% at fault.
That Dealership owes them a new vehicle and a public apology.
Forget the car, a KIA. The dealership should be sued for at least 6 digits
They should buy him a Lexus
@@jojojayjay9617 Yes, the South Korean manufacturer KIA is directly responsible for the American employee of a KIA _franchise_ who "lost the agreement". 🤔
And money
Whoever filed the police report should be charged for filing a false police report, and attempted murder.
Lord. What in the world did the kia dealership tell the police for them to think he was armed & dangerous? Not every car thief is. And since no Kia dealership
Employee could have possibly witnessed any behavior to lead them to report that, why did they lie? Those police treated him like they’d been led to believe he was a serial killer on a spree or something. I’m a 50 year old white lady & I would have probably been so scared I’d have PTSD. I can’t even imagine being a black male & being stopped & spoke to like that. And before they even laid eyes on him!?!! That man needs to OWN that Kia dealership over this.
I hope this couple wins. BIG TIME. This is absolutely wrong and that man could have lost his life! Praise God that he had the presence of mind to do exactly what the police told him!
