Motoring Into Court

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- The plaintiff says he rented his car to the defendants to drive to Florida, but they overheated the engine and trashed it. Now he has 11 mechanical issues, so he’s suing for the costs. The defendants say they paid hundreds to have the car towed and repaired when it broke down, and they deny owing a thing.
Case 29-116
Now I’m no rocket scientist but coolant should last more than 3,000 miles. Plaintiff knows dang well that there was a leak.
Okay I thought it was me
Yeah it must have had a leak to have no coolant for the engine to end up blown
Some people aren’t too bright and think that a car that consumes coolant is normal.
There are three possibilities. Faulty thermostat, water pump or radiator. My guess is thermostat.
Those charges? $400 for parts sounds high, unless he changed the radiator and pump.
@@Zerpersande Defendants said their mechanic changed the temp sensor, thermostat, fan switch, and coolant. What are the odds that the thermostat was bad, not opening up, AND the temp sensor was faulty, not showing the proper temp and failed to indicate the car was overheating until the coolant boiled and the radiator cap blew off steam. They say it happened multiple times. The block or radiator could've cracked or head gasket blew and coolant either leaked out or was consumed by the engine. I thought the price for the parts was extremely high too. Just priced them at $65 total for all of it. They got ripped off.
My advice. Don't rent a friend's car. Rent one from a company because people be slick.
What I don’t understand is what the plaintiff wanted 🤷🏽♀️.... he got free repairs on his old car
Plus the $500 they paid. They would’ve been better off just hitchhiking 🤷🏾♂️🤣
Exactly
Some people are sneaky and dirty and will find ways to hustle others for their gain. SMH
He sure did I don’t know what more he wanted!!
Right... why is he complaining about the coolant if he did work on it beforehand?... he's lying
They could have rented a luxury car for what they spent: 500 + 700 plus. The plaintiff is unreasonable.
No license probably
@@manthony777 nah they would have went to budget or something you could rent a new car for a week for less than what they paid
@@NoCapJayy under 25, that shit will add up.
You do not want to take a luxury car through PA down to Florida it will not make the trip back
They’re under 25, I agree^^
The defendants should have counter sued for the thousand plus they spent.
I thought the same thing. They would’ve gotten it.
I would have countersued to recoup what I spent on that junk.
Plaintiffs just a very shady person.
I wonder what the report said? The Defendant held a piece of paper he read from but the Judge didnt look at it prob ofc because there was no counter-claim. If the report on repairs stated for instance a leak found for coolant, the Defendants would have known def not their fault, so why not counter-sue? Unless it didnt....
@Gee Nicole i can’t go i io
Dude knew his car was a piece of garbage before he rented it
Plaintiff showed up looking like a bouncer for a club. He knows damn well he gave them a shady car. Defendants should have counter-sued.
How is it a shady car? It made it to Florida and broke down in New Jersey on the way back! Cars need maintenance. There was probably a coolant leak. Just needed to be topped up
Who think he being greedy trying to take advantage because they paid almost 1000 to get it fix
This case is absolute nonsense and this guy should thank his lucky stars he has such a good friend, to pay to make it reasonably right. He just doesn't want it to come out of HIS pocket.
The couple did right by him paying over $700 in repairs trying to be a good friend. Plaintiff's own words about it happening before seems to indicate a problem with the car.
I thought the defendant was a complete chump for doing that. The plaintiff KNEW there was a coolant leak in that car and tried to pin it on the defendants. Cars dont magically go low on coolant on their own, it happens when there's a leak.
Also, when you rent a car, you arent responsible for changing the oil and any such maintenance. The plaintiff knew that the car was about to go on a long trip. It was his responsibility to make sure that the car was in good working order beforehand.
I rent cars over 20 times a year due to traveling. Not once have I ever checked a car's oil, coolant, or tire pressure. It's the car rental company's responsibility to make sure their cars are in good working order and maintained.
@@rubenmejia9020 True and I have never had to do anything but drive a rental car. I thought there must have been a leak already too. I wouldn't have rented my older vehicle for that far just sayin!!
Coolant being gone in a week indicates there is a leak.
If the car had overheated in the past then the head was already warped. If you don't get it fixed before it over heats too many times your bill will keep increasing.
The plaintiff knew his old clunker shouldn’t be driven that far and therefore knew the chances of it breaking down were pretty good. For him to take his “friends” to court because the car broke down in their care was wrong. He should have never allowed anyone to borrow that car for that far of a drive but did it because he was greedy - straight up!! Plus he didn’t offer to pay the defendants anything back for the 700.00. they paid to get it fixed after it broke down.
Judge Milian: Just tell me exactly how its their fault... SHOW me how its their fault... do you have ANYTHING showing how its their fault... Im just trying to understand how its their fault do you have ANYTHING AT ALL.
Pliantiff: no
Judge Milian: Ok judgement for the defendants
Plaintiff in the hall: ShE DIdN"T LeT mE TELL mY END OF THE StOrY, ShE dIDN"T EVEN LoOK At AlL MY PAgES oF EVIDENCEEEeeeEE!
😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Rightttt 💀🤣😩
lol. Just like that! 😂😂😂
Plaintiff is sketchy AF. He KNEW that car had a coolant leak somewhere and still rented it out to the defendants. He's trying to scam a whole engine replacement on the defendants.
The defendants are clueless as hell, too. They paid a $700 repair on the plaintiff's car? What chumps!
What is an "AF?"
@@franklesser5655 "as fuck" meaning a lot/too much etc
they strike me as the type that have family money so $700 isnt anything
@@Wandxo "fuck," means "too much?" It seems that word can mean whatever you want it to mean.
@@rachexl On top of paying $500 on the rental AND the gas to drive from NJ to FL. For less than $1200, they could have booked two airplane tickets and the car rental and had some money left over.
Flying round trip New York to Florida seems alot less STRESSFUL!
And a lot more expensive.
@@milesandemilyrock Can't be anymore expensive than a new damn car engine 💯
@@ddnquestion1 That was an unknown expense, though. As far as when they were leaving, driving was the cost savvy choice.
And cheaper on Southwest.
Cheaper, plus The adventure of a road trip 👌
The plaintiff was trying to hustle his friend's for more money, ppl that scream " I was trying to do them a favor " know good and well their already lying smh 😞😞
Agreed, I HATE when people say "I was just trying to do so-and-so a favor". Good selfless people don't say shit like that, only manipulative liars do.
Swear. And I also read the last part like my momma,😂
@@gelsm8709 😂😂
Nah they didn't have a license so they had to do this hood rental shit
This plaintiff should have sent the defendants flowers instead of suing them. Who has an hour to be waiting for a car to cool down before you can drive it again? They should have counter sued for the additional $700 they graciously paid to fix up his beater.
Especially in the Carolinas.
@@michaeldelyjah5696 🤣🤣🤣
It’s like a Tesla
$500 to rent a car?! Just buy a plane ticket.
Tha 95 South isa kool road trip....
@@greggpoppabich9281 fuck no
@@greggpoppabich9281 It is. All my trips through the U.S. have been by road. The only time I fly is to leave the country. Road trips are great. I went to Savannah last month then down to Jacksonville, Fl. Then we went on the I-10 west through the panhandle into Alabama and Mississippi to get to New Orleans. Stopping along the way in different towns is the best. And it’s not as scary as people think. The cops were cool too. No problems.
@@ShanteRoxxane that's true, road trips in the USA are awesome
For real
The couple was nice to pay $700 to help fix the car. I mean what did they do wrong? I’m confused on why he think it’s their fault. It’s not like they got into a car accident.
The defendant should of sued for the money they put into the car to repair it
The plaintiff is a complete liar. There was plenty wrong with that car before he gave it to them. That’s why I don’t trust people. I would’ve rented my own car through a car rental place and got the insurance that’s it.
He couldn't even maintain the 4 braids in his hair for court.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆 damn!!!😆
😂😂😂😂
Savage mood activated 😎🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have a 2009 lincoln mkz and my car has 256000+ miles on it and my car has never overheated. I maintain it and 7 don't have any problems, then again i dont go on 10000 mile trips
Yeah we have a newer Lincoln MKZ it’s only driven to work. The only reason I even looked at a Lincoln is because my granddad owned a Continental for like 15 years and with good upkeep that thang was still very nice.
similar to me my grandpa actually gifted me the car when i graduated high school
@@KPbouj q
You can rent a car for the entire week from enterprise for $500 or less. If they were going to spend that much money anyway, they should have gotten a car from a reliable place
Probably didn't qualify
Yup. Agreed. Prolly too young, no credit card, not enough credit. A lot of companies charge for miles that’s why you pick up at airport for local travel. To drive cross county? Money.
Thank you? It’s “Thaaaank you Douglas” judge!
What's the hype on that?
yeah it has to be Thaaaaank you Douglas
I hate when she says it differently 😅
It’s like judge Judy changing her hair style, why are they messing with us like this?
The plaintiff should’ve never came to court.
Back to school and take them wack braids out. Gangbanger look is out.
I’m saying the same thing! He hair looks a mess....😆🤨😫
🤣🤣🤣👍
Got lucky he didn't get countersued. He put them in danger and risked them getting stranded.
I don't even know why people even make a claim when they have 0 evidence.
So happy this one ended this way. Plaintiff knew there was either a coolant leak or bad head gasket. If it was a bad enough leak that it overheated on a 3,000 mile trip then he absolutely knew about it. And that's why he told them to let it sit for 30 minutes. After an engine shuts off the temperature rises drastically because there's no longer any coolant flowing or fans running.
The plaintiff doesn’t understand what judge Milian means by “proof” 🥴🥴🥴
Yall had da same last name
Most people in general don't understand what is evidence or proof. How many people do you know who hold beliefs without good evidence to support their beliefs?
Jail house lawyer gets you jail house results.
All three of them seem like they are slow. The plaintiff does not know the meaning of the word evidence and the defendants are silly for spending $500 on a raggedy 10-year-old car to rent for the week. They could have easily gone over to a rental car service, unless they just did not have a credit card to do so.
They may not be 25.
How do you know how easily it could have been for the defendants to rent a car?
The plaintiff should count his blessings that while the plaintiffs were on the road and not incur an accident while driving his rental car.
Renting a car is soo expensive and if the car was working why would they think it would mess up on them you’re so ignorant lmao plus they look young if they aren’t even 25 some places they wouldn’t even be able to rent one sounds like you may be slow.
What a dumb decision. I would NEVER let any damn body rent my car. Idc if they only needed to go around the corner. No.
Same here. I have several cars and I don't, it's just a recipe for disaster.
id call them an Uber
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T BORROW THINGS FROM PEOPLE. IT BE MESSED UP ALREADY THEN BREAKS ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN U HAVE IT AND THEY WILL ACT LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR OWN, YOU DON'T NEED IT!
Can you speak up?
@@entheo302😂😂😂
The plaintiff's fave word "maintennance" is exactly what his hair needed. The defendants were so cute, they looked like real life versions of the animated characters in "The Hollow" - Defendants helped him by paying for the car, but were too naive to countersue.
Why does he keep saying he has proof but didn't have anything that the judge asked for? The judge knows exactly what documents would have been needed to be considered evidence, but he still felt he didn't get to prove his case. I actually think it was pretty generous of them to pay anything at all, especially $750!
A better question is what was on those papers he had because he kept going through them like they had valuable information on them.
Dang. Whole trip ruined. How come they didn’t just call Hertz or Enterprise??
Especially since they paid him $500. They could have gotten a reliable car and saved money.
Prbly no license or CC ..
I was thinking that too. Courtney's answer makes sense on why.
I wouldn’t have repaired anything he knew about those pre existing problems
Yep. They should have counter sued for that money back.
The defendants could’ve went through an actual rental company for $500/wk. o appreciate them being a good friend and returning the car in the condition they received it in by paying for the $700 repairs! The plaintiff isn’t nobody’s friend and deserved to loose. He knew his car had preexisting conditions that needed to be repaired prior to renting it out! Shameful 🤦🏾♀️
This guy wasted our time. Why do people come to court with no proof? It even pisses me off when I see plaintiffs or defendants come to court with no papers. They just bring themselves and their clothes. At least act like you have something. Throw the papers around the courtroom for all I care. Make me believe you have proof.
This is a very cute couple, they tried so hard to make it right instead of just saying screw it. The more I hear of this case the more I don’t like the plaintiff. He is very lucky to have a friend like that. This couple are too young to rent a decent car for a week. They probably wouldn’t have had to pay that much at a rental place, but you need to be 25 and have a credit card.
Someone rents a car and have to do maintenance on it . Yahh okay 😂😂
I would never loan or rent my car out because you never know how they're driving your car or if they're using it for illegal activities and if they get in an accident your insurance company is not going to cover the damage to your car.
His car shouldn't even be on the road if it is going through so much coolant. There is obviously a leak that he knew about and should have been fixed even if he was just driving around town.
Oh Plaintiff 🥴😭 I watch these cases so much I’m calling the Verdict before the end lol
Don't lend your car out to anybody, it's a major gamble. And if it's damaged it's your risk.
Perfect example of indignant emotions deafening the ears to reality!!! Helping others comes at a cost and genuine help is to serve others not self! So help without reciept
Why didn't they just RENT a car?
They did. Just not from the right place or person 🤷🏾♂️ 🤣
They may not have been old enough to rent a car (some places you have to be at least 25 y.o. ). Or they don’t have a credit card to rent at a legitimate rental place. There are lots of reasons why someone may not have the option to rent a car at a rental company.
@@Leila.1219 I'd rather wait until I was 25 before paying $500 to rent that piece of crap.
Could have had a bad license or no credit card.
@@brandonmoskos9149 - Then they had no business driving anyone's car.
Life lesson when you are a new driver: always have a gallon or two of water in your trunk. Especially if car is old.
He needed the $3,000 for his braids. The braids consulted with him like they were his lawyer. He said, "How about $2,000?!" The four of them said, "you're thinking small, go for 3!" He said, "good idea. We got this."
🤣🤣🤣
When on a road trip every time you fuel up you always check the oil, cooliant, brake fluid
The plaintiff really tried to scam his friends for new parts smdh
You absolutely have to put coolant, put in oil, water, check tire levels after every 300 miles in an older car and in a long trip.
Simple answer: Do not.. I repeat Do not.. Loan your car or money to anyone and you won't have to deal with the drama.
Always check your fluids! Every time you put gas in the car if it’s got over 100,000 miles! I’ve learned the hard way on every car I’ve owned in the past lol.
👍🏾
Could have flown to Florida stayed in hotel for a week and fly back for $1000.
Rent a car/fly next time this was too much and they were “friends”
I firmly believe, a part of the high school curriculum should be basic car maintenance and troubleshooting.
You're not allowed to rent out a private car. It voids your insurance.
Doug forgot to say “you lose”
I hope he’s okay
“When a friend comes crying for help, don’t help them out” he fittin to be hella lonely. He gotta remember that when he needs help and he asks a friend. His hair says it all….. he needs a brain
Plaintiff thinks that coolant is like gas. You have to keep adding it.
They could have RENTED a car for less money. A newer car that was no worse in size. $500 for a week. What a rip off.
If they didn't have the money to fly they damn sure could've rented a car with a reputable company for LESS than $500
I moved to Florida two years ago, and all the crazy stories about screwed up crazies are in fact true! Don't move here! Will be moving out of the crazy ass hell hole in a year, thank goodness!
$500, then $700... Why didn't they get an actual rental car? No credit card? Not 25 yet?
You don't rent your 09 car for a long run down to Florida. He looking for them to fix his old car!
Defendants seem like nice kids, unlike a lot of the people their age on the show.
What if they got into a accident with no insurance. Seems to risky to me
Can you just tell us all that you want a new 🚘 from the defendant so I can☠💀 laugh you out court😆😂🤣
It doesn't even cost $500 to rent a car for a week, most rentals are like $20-$25 a day
Probably age or no cc etc
The mileage from NY to Florida would be awfully high!!
@@cindylemons9677 most rentals are unlimited mileage now. I did several cross state road trips for fun
I rent cars frequently and have memberships with several providers. Believe me, it ain't so cheap no mo'!
I paid $57 for a day
Never let her read it off your phone. She is a snooper. The paper is just fine.
Paper's are routinely doctored. And she wants to see the history of a conversation, not just the part you want her to see.
But, in general, your comment is simply stupid.
@@michaeldelyjah5696 she may want to see it but if she doesn’t have the option of seeing it than she will take the paper. Also, individual texts in a conversation can be deleted. And yes, she does like to see the history. Which is exactly what I said when I called her a snooper.
No.... just no. She’s not going to allow evidence snipped to only what the plaintiff or defendant wants her to see. She has to see what was said before and after.
@@IHeArTrOcK20 not true. She has accepted paper text always. She has never not accepted it. Find me a case where she threw out the paper evidence of text because the phone evidence wasn’t available.
This guys legit wanted to push the leaks in his car on people that rented it for a week. This guy has absolutely no shame. They are victims of opportunity at this point.
Yeah Doug, Pep Boys does check, just like they will run an OBD2 too!
The beginning I would be laughing bc of the guys Scream voice. One kid in the back is laughing in the beginning. They definitely hear that intro.
If I had a car that overheated even once in 3 years I damn sure wouldn't be taking it on the road trip especially if it's got 100, 150,000 200, 000 miles on it , if it overheated once in the last 3 years you can bet it's going to overheat again when you go driving at that far no matter how much maintenance you've done to it
Bro don’t help your friends ???? U just tried to burn your friends
HE TRIED IT 😂
“ I have pages of evidence “ what a chump 😬🤣🤣
But none of the evidence you need 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤣
Would like to donate a brassiere to the plaintiff.
Good decision-making keeps relationships and friendships intact. It's best not to ask a family member or friend to rent their car when you do not know the history of their car. There's a reason why it's best to rent from a rental car service versus going to a friend or family member to borrow/rent their car. Rental companies have systems in place to handle issues like the ones that occurred in this case.
Plaintiff trying to make cheddar 😂
Boy bye.!They shouldn't have to pay you anymore 💰like how greedy is greedy geez
That blue book value was probably about 25 bucks to the junk yard.
That plaintiff immediately got them shifty eyes before he even said a word.
His ass knew his car wasn’t any good, he just finessed them out of getting certified repairs.
"I cant be a flow ride-ah cus da whip broke" 🤣😩
I don't believe there's a single mechanic in America that would look at that old civic, say there's nothing wrong, and not charge a dime lol
I have been driving my car for past 5 years with same coolant and Plaintiff wanted defendants to refill the coolant for a 3k mile drive.
He was ripped off paying that bill
Why didn't the defendants just rent a car from a rental company? it's not expensive, you can rent a car for 300 a week from Hertz.
You have to check fluids daily when going on any long trip! We always did this even when driving new vehicles!
Don’t help friends out....... but you charged them. Lol
This sounded more like a business transaction, than a favor.
Like the judge says: the cheap always comes out expensive. For the money they spent repairing this jalopy, they could have rented a brand new car for an entire month.
Plaintiff's idea of "helping" out a friend is to rent them a piece of junk for 1 week...for $500 & then let them pay an additional $700 to repair his broken-down piece of junk...& then take them to court for a brand new engine.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I’m was really trying to hear the plaintiff out only thing that got me was no documents on his car history but it makes sense to get an oil change at some point driving from NYC to FL but maybe he’s a scammer idk but he definitely got free work done on his car
Actually, it DOESN'T make sense to get an oil change if driving from NY to FL and back. What makes sense is having your vehicle ready for a trip from NY to FL and back. If I rented a car from Enterprise or Hertz, I'm not changing the oil on anything.
@@michaeldelyjah5696 are you renting a 12 yr old car from a rental company? Exactly my point the couple was looking for a easy way out and I’m not saying if they did get the oil change etc this wouldn’t have happen that’s a long while to be driving a 12 yr old car without some type care maintenance or rest at the same time he had no paperwork on the history of his vehicle he got eight hundred bucks worth of work done to his vehicle trust me he still walked away happy
They could've rented a car from a car rental company for $500. They tried to do the right thing by paying for repairs though. I wished they had countersued.
If you’re borrowing someone’s property (car), you need to take as much care as possible with it before hitting the highway. Check all fluid levels just like you would fill up on windshield washer fluid. Check the oil, the coolant, etc.
It sounds like that piece of crap car could barely make it around the block and back. Luckily, the defendant's got back home safely.
Plaintiff "In general, if a car is overheating, you need to let it cool down"
In general, cars should NOT be overheating!! And cars don't need maintenance at 3,000 miles to not die!
God bless everyone on here🐦❤
Plaintiff audacity to sued for that piece of drunk wish he is over heating 🙄
They should’ve counter sued for the repairs. He knew the car was overheating. An intact car does not need constant “maintenance”
moral of story: don't borrow a car from a friend, but rather have your friend accompany you in your journey, this way both your interests are aligned and no booby-traps!
Have mercy renting a death trap 😂 and the defendants dumb enough to rent it . Nobody should get anything 😂
Where it overheated...the Coolant probably boiled out. I say where the Defendants paid for Towing and the repairs...the rest is on the Plaintiff's responsibility
