Maybe she didn't initially know it was her tansmission, or she didn't know him when this happened, or he's a friend of a friend, or he's an expert she hired to look at her car and come with her to court... There's several non suspicious reasons she may have not gone to the expert witness first.
Because she didn’t know it was a transmission issue when she brought it in. And she went to the next mechanic for safety reasons. Common sense isn’t common is it?
Anyone else catch the defendant's lie about the transmission mount was cut from before the plaintiff owned the vehicle? Sooooooo, the entire bracket shows signs of corrosion but those cut marks are still shiny and minty fresh after a bare minimum of at least 8 months of North Carolina weather? Not likely!
I had a 2005 Ford Taurus years ago and it ran beautifully but then everything went wrong with it, even the steering. Would never buy a Ford again. Before you buy a vehicle of any age buy a Consumer's Report subscription and look at the online ratings for every aspect of the vehicle.
Not really. They didn't actually prove he's the one that did it nor did the picture show when it was cut. There's not even proof it came from the plaintiff's car since it's just a piece on the ground without anything nearby. For all the judge would know it could have been cut by the other mechanic or was from a completely different car. The fact that the mechanic that actually fixed everything refused to take part makes me suspicious that the plaintiff was wanting him to lie and he refused. Between that and the fact that she was suing for nearly what the car was paid , it makes her fishy.

A transmission from a mercury sable will work in a ford Taurus because they literally have the same transmissions in them. It sounds like she had him install a used transmission, probably out of a wrecked mercury sable. A mechanic that installs a transmission can’t guarantee it because used transmissions and even rebuilt transmissions can go out prematurely. The ladies car is on the older side for a car so it’s believable that it had its transmission replaced before. Her saying that it worked for the 9 months she’s had it doesn’t matter either. A transmission could be working fine one day and go out the next. Judge Judy was wrong in this decision.
Wrong questions asked Should have asked defendant Did you replace the bad transmission With a used like transmission that you took out... The one in the vehicle that broke may not have been the same as the original transmission...
1:45 damn right that 50 cents is important! 🤣 4:24 huh? He took the transmission from a Ford Turus and put it in to a Mercury Sable? I know nothing about transmissions but I would think different cars have different transmission configurations for the efficiency of the vehicle.
@@corsariocapitao most likely the defendant. Those cuts were fresh. But that can't be proven. It's just speculation. The moment he saw those cuts a good mechanic would note them to the client and have them sign off that he didn't make those cuts.
Taurus and Sable were essentially the same car mechanically, just had cosmetic differences (Ford/GM/Chrysler used to be notorious for taking a car, changing the badge and grill and selling it as a different model).
The Taurus and Sable are essentially the same mechanically with identical engines and transmissions. The Mercury brand is a Ford Motor Company product just like Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile are General Motors products. The difference in these cars is the styling, trim levels and included standard features. They would share the same transmissions. Judy does not explain the reason for her decision. If she did not believe it had a prior transmission replacement she should have stated so. She frequently calls people liars. The woman knowingly got a used transmission but has a right to expect it will be a working one.
@@timothyhh I remember owning a car that was under the GM umbrella: an '02 Holden Calais that was basically a Commodore VX with a couple alterations to the dash and that was it.
In Australia I am pretty certain this case would have failed under consumer law, because she did not take it back to the first mechanic to rectify the problem or refund the money. Especially since she was only 5 min away and just had to call them to get them to bring back the vehicle. You have to give the retailer an opportunity to address anything that was not fit for purpose. That apparently never happened here and the first mechanic never got an opportunity to look at what went wrong.
Or maybe as she said, it was running well until it needed a replacement and even after the replacement the car still wasn’t running properly. How the hell do you put in the wrong transmission? I believe she did call the guy up and he probably denied anything wrong with the car. Just by his demeanor and attitude you can tell he just wanted a payday. It’s really not that complex. She had the evidence even pictures for underneath the car and a witness to disprove the work done by the defendant. The Defendant didn’t have anything, he just relied on his word.
And be for real, would you really take your car back to someone who you suspected didn’t do a good job the first time? Plus she damned near payed almost $1000 dollars, If I was in her position I would’ve done the same thing and take it to someone else. I can relate to this case
