She's the type of person that will constantly say oh everything was fine until this person touched it. She will expect every single thing to be fixed by that one person who touched it. 10-year-old car probably has 150,000 mi on it, A lot more than a radiator is going to break
Yep! Defendant should have gotten the shop's diagnostic fee out of her. That fee is often put towards repairs, but only if you have their shop do the work!

I’m with all of you. I watch an episode of the new show and quickly turned it off. Didn’t like it at all. I’ll just stick to the original People’s Court.
I don’t consider a car that’s 10 years old . Old . I mean if I pay $50,000 for a vehicle sometimes even $100000 for a pick up . I’m going to expect it to last… it not like changing underwear . I mean what we are suppose to buy a new car every 3 years or something ? I can understand a car 17-20 years old . But to expect people to buy a whole new car after ten years as if they shouldn’t expect their investment to last , is crazy to me .
In 10 years things go wrong and also this it’s assumed that the car is properly serviced and maintained….. she already had ongoing issues with the car… if it goes unchecked for sometime eventually it’s going to…
10 years may jot be super old, but kerp in mind manufacturer warranties end in roughly 10 years on a brand new vehicle. And if you don’t maintain said vehicle in that 10 years, stuff is gonna break. I doubt this girl is the original owner, and she didnt find anything wrong driving around her car with th ‘’check engine light’’ on, and smelling of gas. Her response to that was literally ‘’I never had that problem before. I’ve always drivin it like that .” Heck, she didn’t even care there was oil in her antifreeze. She only brought it in because someone else told her that the problem might get worse if she didn’t take care of it now. So yes, 10 years is pretty old for a car that has not been maintained properly.
10 years is officially "old" in car age - Things simply wear out in that amount of time - And cars aren't "investments" they are depreciating assets built for human convenience (luxuries), no different than an Iphone or smart TV - Not to mention this was a Mercedes which are way more complex than some simple little Toyota or Chevy so the cost of ownership on an "old" one will naturally be significantly higher to keep it on the road.
As a mechanic, I can tell you most people do not care about their cars and expect them to run for 20 years just by getting by on oil changes. And by the time you guys bring it to us, it’s holding on by a thread and expect us to work miracles. People need to learn what PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE is. It means replacing BEFORE it goes bad. Replace your belt, replace your fluids, replace your plugs, replace your gaskets. Help us help you lol
Don't put it past mechanics to disconnect stuff and try to upcharge you....There's a lot of dishonest mechanics out there I've come across many in my lifetime
@@josha.bdoge2 That does happen. I have been a mechanic my whole life and I've seen other mechanics do that. But a "burned fuel pump" happens as a result of high resistance in the armature after when it is worn out. It is common on higher mileage cars and there is no way to fake it.

Worked on Mercedes for years, replaced the radiator because oil in the coolant. The guy should be put out of business, he is a joke. The first scan would have shown a week fuel sending unit. He ripped her off
This is a case of the knee bone connected to the neck bone. Do some research before trying to sue a person out of their work. She had absolutely no understanding of how the vehicle works and wanted to claim the guy didn't do it right. 😂
A lot of times, it's one thing after another with a car. Sometimes it's better to just replace the car. Some mechanics are shady but that's in every profession. They can't be liable for everything. Sometimes things go one after another. Sticky situation.
With older cars especially foreign cars, once you touch something. It's like opening a can or worms 🪱, more trouble pops up...old wires breaking, old metal fitting leaking
The fuel pump and the radiator are like night and day. That is like on opposite sides of the engine. This happens when you're fixing one part of a car and something else fails. That happened to me while I was working on my son's car, After replacing the brakes, I noticed the motor mounts (engine) were sounding funny so I had to replace them. One part had absolutely nothing to do with the other.
I work for an automotive manufacture people have super high expectations from mechanics because they have no idea how it all works. She literally sued for a fuel pump for a decade old car 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 RIDICULOUS

Used to work at a used car dealership. Low-income people who wanted to look like they had money kept buying those used Benz and BWM. Many of those cars got repoed because once they broke down and the buyers could not afford the repair bills. The owner did not want bad reviews for his business, so he had them sign another paper with those cars stating that they understood maintenance/repair bills cost are high and the vehicle would be repoed if they failed to keep up with the car payment. It also included an estimate of what repairs/maintenance would cost. Sure enough, they still bought them, and some of those vehicles returned to be sold gain.
I am personally friends with the Plaintiff and I can tell you for fact she is the sweetest person ever and she's so cool. And she has trained her daughter so well. I did tell her after this aired that she should've contacted my brother because he's a mechanic.
Mentioning her child is irrelevant. Going to your brother would not have changed anything. A radiator and a fuel pump are not related or involved. She has a Mercedes which was her first mistake. Every mechanic go through customers like her who don't understand how cars work and therefore think it must be them doing something wrong. It's like someone giving you a haircut and all of a sudden you say your pinky toe hurts It is a hard stress that you have to do to make them to related and say it's the barber fault
5:10 a burnt out fuel pump is usually caused by driving a car routinely until the fuel gauge is just about on “E”. The fuel keeps the pump lubricated so less fuel equals less lubrication which causes the fuel pump to burn out….
There are a few things the mechanic said that caught my attention. He said he saw oil in the radiator and said he changed the radiator but changing the radiator would do nothing to stop oil from getting into the coolant. Then he said he showed her the burnt out fuell pump. To do that he would have had to drop the fuel tank, pulled the pump out and disconnect it from the wiring and hose, then put it all back. That would have been the same labor as replacing the pump. I recently recently i took my van in for a strong vibration. The mechanic changed the fuel pump, and injectors. The vibration was still there. Turns out it was the motor mounts. The first mechanics had not even checked them.
There is a tube that goes though the radiator of transmission fluid to cool the fluid. These can split causing transmission fluid to mix with coolant. Even worse coolant can leak back into the transmission. Every thing else mentioned is a separate issue
The plaintiff is a lovely lady but she owns a ten-year-old car. It's common to have multiple problems as cars age. My parts at age 74 are breaking down too. 😄😄😄
WHY do so many people come into this 🏛️ room with sooo much ARROGANCE and then expect 👩🏻⚖️Milian to rule in their favor as if their higher and better than God almighty himself?? 🤔🤨
This is a classic case of a car owner who sends no money on repairs and lets everything pile up. The little to no money sent on maintenance over the years adds up. The mechanic did nothing wrong, she chose or could not pay for all the repairs.
I'm a mechanic and I used to own my own shop. We had a guy have his Explorer towed in with a bad starter. We replaced it. Two days later he was driving down the highway with a trailer on the back and his engine threw a rod, totally killing it. He came in furious and wanted to know what we could have done installing that starter to cause his engine to blow. I said it probably wasn't anything to do with his starter but instead the fact that his Explorer had over 170k miles. But I gave him my insurance companies number and told him he was free to file a claim if he felt we were responsible. The adjuster determined that he had a major lack of maintenance as well as pulling a trailer with a load that was well above his vehicle's recommended towing capacity. His claim was denied of course.
I could have sworn he said the engine was flooding and he did a few tricks to fix the problem then turned around and checked the problem again and said No oil was going to the engine?? Well, sounds like he messed something up to me.
she's SOL. It's kind of surprising how many times the audience with Harvey gets everything wrong. Maybe it's being put on the spot....maybe they don't watch the People's Court.

I'm sick of these people buying old, cheap luxury cars and getting surprised when they break down! Mercedes, Audi, and BMW, are known to suffer from mechanical and electrical problems just a couple of years from the manufacturing date, rich people buy them before either A, they have the money for repairs or B, they have the money to eat the cost and trade-in for a new one altogether. Mercedes of all of them are the absolute WORST to buy used, especially when they are old! Just remember people, a 10-year-old Mercedes doesn't make you rich! 😂😂😂
Another completely ignorant Plaintiff. First of all, if you have an older German luxury car, don't take it to a mechanic who doesn't specialize in that make. Secondly- crap happens to older luxury cars- that's why they are so affordable for people who can't afford a new one.Unless you have the money to keep it running, know that it was traded in by someone who got sick of paying for repairs.
When parts are replaced, old worn parts are then forced to work at the level of the new ones. This sometimes exposes issues that otherwise would go unnoticed. Such is the nature of repairs on older vehicles. I feel her pain but I don't think she had much of a case, there.
Old German cars are horrible when the warranty runs out, especially if you dont keep it properly maintained. They are the worst because of cost/labor, and ppl dont realize it until its too late. And that's the problem🤷♂️ *He didn't do anything wrong, now I dont believe her at all!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Auto repair shops routinely mark up the price of parts..... it's what helps keep their shops open. Some are reasonable, some are not, but most all of them do that. LaShohn'da seems to believe that because a car still runs, there can be nothing wrong with it. I'm pre-laughing when she eventually needs an oil pump or some other internal parts for her Mercedes that typically costs 5 times more than they would for Ford.
The lady stated her coolant was full of oil. SHE STATED IT. Therefore her radiator would also have oil. This isn't rocket science. If your radiator is full of oil, is not going to work. No you can't wash the oil out.
This is why you never fill out a work order. You take it in to get a diagnostic and have them tell you everything they found..... If they supposedly fix everything on their diagnostic and the car still doesn't work, and they say. Oh, we found something else. No, you did a full diagnostic. Why didn't you tell me that initially?
The mechanic was honest with her. He could've of easily said that the head gasket was bad on the motor and charged her more money. Transmission oil in the radiator is a easier fix and cheaper. On a Mercedes gas gage not working sign of fuel pump going bad.
She has a 10 year old Mercedes and all these things are wrong with it lol 😂. Not if she would’ve bought a Honda or Toyota. Ppl like buying a German car but when it comes to repair and maintenance want a Japan car price
Come on. Women have to stop acting like victims because they didn't get everything they wanted. I hate those comments "I just want women to know what he's doing." What you meant was "Just fix everything, but do it for free.
12:01 you're really going to make that speech? Just because you don't have any mechanical skills doesn't mean some girls are badass farm girls who can get a broken John Deere to run
I used to work in a repair shop, and see nonsense like this from time to time. Example: "You gave me a complete tune-up, and now one of my tires is flat. WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR???" Duh.

Mercedes, Audi, and BMW, are known to suffer from mechanical and electrical problems just a couple of years from the manufacturing date, rich people buy them before either A, they have the money for repairs or B, they have the money to eat the cost and trade-in for a new one altogether. Mercedes of all of them are the absolute WORST to buy used, especially when they are old! Just remember people, a 10-year-old Mercedes doesn't make you rich! 😂😂😂
She didn't buy an old car. She bought is fairly new and used the crap out of it.
The intro has me weak 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Plaintiff don't understand how things work outside of her head. The defendant was just being petty.
Just replaced a fuel pump ,cost me over a $1,000. She couldn't afford it. Bye gurl
Another completely ignorant Plaintiff. First of all, if you have an older German luxury car, don't take it to a mechanic who doesn't specialize in that make. Secondly- crap happens to older luxury cars- that's why they are so affordable for people who can't afford a new one.Unless you have the money to keep it running, know that it was traded in by someone who got sick of paying for repairs.
Sis, based off the list of issues that car was trouble trouble. Want a foreign car pay foreign prices.
Rough justice on BOTH sides. OUCH.
6:09 sounds like she couldn’t actually afford a Mercedes…
Defendant should have gotten the shop's diagnostic fee out of her. That fee is often put towards repairs, but only if you have their shop do the work!
One day someone go smack Doug (interviewer at the end). Lol
When parts are replaced, old worn parts are then forced to work at the level of the new ones. This sometimes exposes issues that otherwise would go unnoticed. Such is the nature of repairs on older vehicles. I feel her pain but I don't think she had much of a case, there.
Status and fashion, problems follow ....
Have a great day y’all !!!
Please do the same??
U too
😊
So plaintiff is mad the mechanic makes a profit on parts?? Welcome to the real world Honey.
Old German cars are horrible when the warranty runs out, especially if you dont keep it properly maintained. They are the worst because of cost/labor, and ppl dont realize it until its too late. And that's the problem🤷♂️
*He didn't do anything wrong, now I dont believe her at all!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Sounds like she found herself the cheapest Mercedes she could find. Then is surprised it has issues.
I will never own a German car again 💸💸
@@BCNeil probably from a used car lot...I bet it looked good too🤣
Auto repair shops routinely mark up the price of parts..... it's what helps keep their shops open. Some are reasonable, some are not, but most all of them do that. LaShohn'da seems to believe that because a car still runs, there can be nothing wrong with it. I'm pre-laughing when she eventually needs an oil pump or some other internal parts for her Mercedes that typically costs 5 times more than they would for Ford.
Oil in anti freeze is bad. The engine doesn't have long to go.
The defended looks like john lovitz 😅
4:00 I'm not an auto mechanic but everything she's describing sounds like a fuel pump to me. That has NOTHING to do with a radiator.
The lady stated her coolant was full of oil. SHE STATED IT. Therefore her radiator would also have oil. This isn't rocket science. If your radiator is full of oil, is not going to work. No you can't wash the oil out.
This is why you never fill out a work order. You take it in to get a diagnostic and have them tell you everything they found..... If they supposedly fix everything on their diagnostic and the car still doesn't work, and they say. Oh, we found something else. No, you did a full diagnostic. Why didn't you tell me that initially?
Please I hope she sees this ❤she's beautiful and where did you get your hair at
The mechanic was honest with her. He could've of easily said that the head gasket was bad on the motor and charged her more money. Transmission oil in the radiator is a easier fix and cheaper. On a Mercedes gas gage not working sign of fuel pump going bad.
She is out of luck. A fuel pump is not related to the radiator. Hey, cars have issues with time.
Well, isn't she special. 😊
The plaintiff is wrong, period.
More than one thing can be wrong on a vehicle and need repair
She has a 10 year old Mercedes and all these things are wrong with it lol 😂. Not if she would’ve bought a Honda or Toyota. Ppl like buying a German car but when it comes to repair and maintenance want a Japan car price
Come on. Women have to stop acting like victims because they didn't get everything they wanted. I hate those comments "I just want women to know what he's doing." What you meant was "Just fix everything, but do it for free.
I wonder is there something that explains the bias against mechanics
I’m a mechanic and a burnt fuel pump isn’t the shops fault
It’s her for failing to maintain the car.
My husband said the same thing. Not the shops fault and it’s all about upkeep.
Ah the case of the old Benz
12:01 you're really going to make that speech? Just because you don't have any mechanical skills doesn't mean some girls are badass farm girls who can get a broken John Deere to run
10 Year old German car. Unless you get the very expensive yearly maintenance from the dealer, those cars are nothing but a money pit.
She sounds greedy but most of these people are like that
I used to work in a repair shop, and see nonsense like this from time to time. Example: "You gave me a complete tune-up, and now one of my tires is flat. WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR???" Duh.
Radiator and fuel pump.. 2 opposite ends of the car.. Totally not related
Another Stupid Car Owner and the audience in the video were future litigants thinking the mechanic was at fault for something he never worked on.
Waste of time suing mechanics you never get anything and they will always blame another issue lol
