Indiana Lemon Law Guide
As an Indiana Lemon Law firm dedicated to protecting consumer rights, we have helped countless Indiana residents navigate the complexities of the Indiana Lemon Law. If you’ve found yourself stuck with a car that constantly breaks down, you are not alone, and the law is on your side.
Understanding the Indiana Lemon Law
The Indiana Lemon Law, formally known as the Motor Vehicle Protection Act, is designed to protect consumers who have unknowingly purchased a defective vehicle. This law applies to new vehicles purchased or leased in Indiana that experience significant defects within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. If your vehicle meets these criteria and the manufacturer fails to fix the issues after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a refund or a replacement vehicle.
Under this law, a “reasonable number of repair attempts” is typically defined as four or more unsuccessful repair attempts for the same problem or if your vehicle is out of service for a cumulative total of 30 business days due to repairs. These protections are in place to ensure that Indiana consumers are not left paying for a vehicle that does not function properly.
If you suspect that your vehicle is a lemon, it is crucial to take action as soon as possible. Call HC Bradley LLC today at (317) 564-5060 or fill out the form on this page and we will get back to you shortly.
