Jim Belushi Sued Over Lemon SUV

A 78 year old man who is the father of Jim Belushis former driver is suing the actor over a 2001 Land Rover that is allegedly a lemon and he wants the star to pay him $6,000.

Belushi and Ted Lewandowski met in Providence, Rhode Island while Belushi was there filming the Disney movie Underdog. Lewandowski was employed as Belushis driver. While driving Belushi, Lewandowski mentioned that he was looking to buy a car for his dad, Jan Lewandowski.

Lewandowski claims that Belushi suggested that he buy his Land Rover and told him that the SUV was posted for sale on Ebay. He also claims that Belushi told him that the vehicle was in perfect mechanical condition.

Lewandowski bought the 2001 Land Rover and sent $11,500 to Belushis people in California and then flew out to pick up the vehicle. He says that on the way home the fuel pump went out and had to be replaced and he discovered that the vehicle also needs a new water pump, a radiator and other mechanical work that will cost about $5,000.

Belushis atorney says that Lewandowskis claim is frivolous and false and as a matter of fact, they have already been to small claims court over this same exact issue, and the court found that Belushi did not owe Lewandowski any money. The attorney says that the new lawsuit that Lewandowski has filed amounts to harassment of his client.
