Not Fixing Things Right

The defendant seems so nice, I can't even imagine him cursing the way he said he did. lol

[@tonyrichardson5955]

The defendant is a very nice gentleman

[@chuck9380]

The plaintiff doesn’t even know how a warranty work. I’m a mechanic and I promise you the plaintiff is wrong on all levels

[@Channel-JJ]

He got an estimate and diagnosis from a shop that didn't even see the van. Does his own "oil consumption test" then tries to sue on an engine he has a warranty on. Don't understand why the plaintiff is even there.

[@David-cc8xe]

Yeah, how do you sue with absolutely no proof of anything whatsoever?

[@projectionv.accountability1010]

Yeah, but he SAID there's a problem, so... I don't understand how an adult knows enough about how to sue, but can't figure out that lawsuits require proof.

Defendant: the Auto Zone rep asked was he using it as a commercial vehicle. I said 🗣 🎙 “YES, BUT DON’T SAY ANYTHING, IT’LL VOID THE WARRANTY.” 😳😂 I love how the defendant DRY SNITCHED on the plaintiff. That was the plaintiff’s karma, broadcast in front of millions! 😂😂😂

I would have ZERO qualms about outing the plaintiff for using his vehicle commercially! He’s suing the guy! The gloves are off! 🤷🏽‍♀️

I never ever ever EVER want to be around people like the plaintiff much less do business.

[@arianefr78]

The plaintiff came to court with hear-say as his only evidence. (ha ha ha). And if he has managed to drive such long distances (being a commercial vehicle), that his tyres are bald, then no wonder he is consuming oil. The plaintiff is too intense, I don't think this is over for him, if I was the defendant I would get a restraining order against him. The judge should have awarded the defendant something or else at least given a warning to the plaintiff about staying away from the defendant...

[@DonziGT230]

Oil consumption can kill a catalytic converter so if it was still good before the engine was replaced it's very possible that it does have excessive consumption, unfortunately, proving consumpton can be difficult. As for the warrantee, if he can't find a shop that will take it he needs to contact the warrantee company and if they can't find him a service provider they're the ones he needs to sue.

[@shellwilliams6306]

Nicest defendant in forever. I hope he's doing well ❤️ The plantiff is a BULLY😡😡😡

[@kittyfan]

i had a volkswagen like that once......GREAT gas mileage, but you had to put a quart of oil in every week.

[@Godlover614]

Wait...no Doug Llewellyn? No summary from Harvey? What's up with that?

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

Why spend so much money on such an old car?

[@devianadkar7969]

Codes for a cat can indeed be linked to oil issues. Could also be the reason for the smoke out of the tailpipe. There is alot more to oil issues than snap on and consumption tests. Nothing beats good old fashioned "just have a look".

[@OmegaSeraphim]

those "extended warranties" are actually service contracts. they dictate how the repair will be handled. a mechanic has to agree to the terms before any work is done. the mechanic has to do extactly what they tell them or not get paid. what the mechanic is told may not even fix the problem.

[@belleame1064]

Thanks!

[@pchelloo]

13:40 Sounds like the plaintiff is the Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde type OR a Bi-polar bear🐻‍❄ I'm glad the 🤩defendant🤩 came out on top. Now, get that man's beater van off your property asap. Have it towed and trespass him from your premises permanently, bro.💯

[@ashleyquam]

😂😂😂never heard that phrase bi-polar bear.

[@wouldntyouliketoknow1477]

A quart of oil per 700 miles for a caravan is about right. Nothing wrong with that engine

[@cynthiacler9284]

I used to own a 98 Dodge Caravan, biggest piece of shit I ever owned. If the transmission wasn't giving me issues the engine was. I ended up selling the van to the state of California for 1000.00 a few years ago. Happiest day of my life.

[@angieb6173]

As a dealership we can choose to turn down warranty companies because it IS a big hassel and whatever the warranty doesn't Pay the customer owes. And then the customer is pissed at us because they think we charge too much and no, it's your extended stupid car shield you bought off the TV or flyer. ONLY PURCHASE MANUFACTUERER WARRANTY. THATS THE ONLY WARRANTY THAT WONT SCREW YOU OVER!!! The outside companies are stupid. Yes they are cheaper but you get what you pay for then

[@MOAB-UT]

He needs to document. It could be many things including valves. If it's RINGS he needs to do a COMPRESSION TEST which he did. Mechanic seemed reasonable. Customer seems angry and trying to get over on this professional. If vehicle was being used as a commercial vehicle, all bets are OFF. Guy has no proof at all that there is anything wrong with the car. Some customers are just difficult- seems to be the case here. That said, I don't trust most mechanics...at all. Recent one never rotated tires- I took pics before and after- not rotated. They lied to me to my face and charged me. Most are very dishonest. If you find a good one- value him/her. Judge got this right.

[@chuck9380]

You can’t be too smart still driving a caravan which is worth $1500 in mint condition. Also the oil lost could’ve been from a bad rear main seal.

[@arianefr78]

At 15:18 At the very end when the judges are talking together, she seemed VERY hostile towards her husband when she said 'you have absolutely zero imagination and you don't appreciate fiction...' Wow did she almost forget she was on camera?...

I took it as playful banter between them, like she’s been trying to get him to read some fiction.

[@wackybrattyx]

It’s not that serious; they’ve been together for decades lol.

[@cynthiacler9284]

The plaintiffs issues isn't the work that he had done on the van its the make and model of the van that's the issue. Unless both the transmission and engine were both brand new, if they are rebuilt he will forever have issues with this van. Dodge Caravans are notorious for tranny issues and their engines are just as bad.

[@markbrandon7359]

An engine is going to burn oil until the rings are broken in and seal properly also if you baby the engine too much the rings won't seat properly you need to accelerate so the rings are forced against the cylinder walls if you lug the engine too much the rings will never seat. My new motorcycle used up a quart of oil in 300 miles I had to check and add oil every 2 days now that it's broken in no problem

[@markbrandon7359]

I new a guy who's rings didn't seat he poured Ajax cleanser down the carb it smoked something fierce but the grit in the Ajax got the rings to seat.

[@aberobinson1]

At first I thought this was going to be one more car mechanic case that involved a bootleg side-job mechanic and junkyard parts. I was wrong... thos plaintiff is an idiot and apparently the defendant put in a legit engine from Autozone with a warranty. The plaintiff just doesn't want to take no for an answer. No free engine, sorry cuz.

[@jesnrbrt4evr11]

The defendant says he's not going to say anything about the plaintiff using his vehicle for commercial purposes but that's exactly what he did he blurted it out on National television, obviously if the plaintiff is doing that and hiding it it's wrong you're committing fraud, but don't act like you blurted that out by accident that was completely intentional and on purpose, also the plaintiff comes into court claiming that there was something still wrong with his vehicle after the defendant worked on it but comes in with not one ounce of evidence, he thinks the judge is just going to rule based on what he's saying and no evidence whatsoever? How hard would it have been to go and get something in writing from a reputable shop? And if none of the shops want to deal with your warranty that's a personal problem you need to buy a better warranty or come out of pocket, people absolutely blow my mind these days!

[@judithannverbracken8048]

So the engine blew a rod? Wouldn't that be due to not having enough oíl?

[@judithannverbracken8048]

Ooops, spoke too soon. Looks like litigant can't even prove there was a problem.

[@sandwichman100]

my first thought was 'he has a warrantee but says he wont deal with the guy who supplied and fitted the motor' alarm bells start ringing seems the motor was fine for 6 months other wise he would have complained sooner, normal people want things sorted as soon as possible if the motor is going through that much oil id say the plaintiff abused it somehow

[@sandwichman100]

the defendant is right, if there is oil coming out of the tail outlet the cat converter would be full of oil and gunk

[@sandwichman100]

how many miles were on the clock when the motor was fitted and how many were on it when it was brought in for repair?

[@braindead7560]

[@adrianprince7266]

Maintenance on any vehicle is a risk every time something goes wrong which it will. It's not a matter of if, it's when. But a person's attitude can be as difficult or more than the job you need done.

[@SilverSergeant]

Plaintiff lied, imo. The defendant would have found the problem...if one existed.
