Trent Williams Sued by Dealer Over Unpaid Porsche Lease

OpenRoad contends a missing Porsche with unclear title transfer could provoke separate fraud and breach claims that create financial and reputational risk for the 49ers tackle.

Overview

  • OpenRoad Auto Group filed a lawsuit reported on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2026, seeking $244,199.28 in allegedly unpaid lease payments plus fees and legal costs.
  • The dealer says Williams made only two bank-debit payments in August and September 2021 totaling $10,617.26 before closing the account and stopping further payments.
  • The lease was a 48-month agreement signed in August 2021 with an August 31, 2025 expiration date, according to the complaint.
  • OpenRoad says it does not know where the 2018 Porsche 911 is now and alleges the vehicle may have been resold without a clear title, a claim that has prompted reporters to question the timing of the suit and how title transfer could have occurred.
  • Williams has not publicly responded to the filing, which is a newly lodged civil complaint and not a court judgment, and the case could produce discovery about payment records, title history and the car's whereabouts that would determine next steps.
