Indiana Lemon Law Statutes
When you purchase a new vehicle, you expect it to be reliable and free of defects. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Some vehicles come with persistent problems that the manufacturer cannot or will not fix. If this sounds familiar, you may have recourse under Indiana’s Lemon Law. At HC Bradley LLC, we specialize in helping consumers who find themselves stuck with defective vehicles. We understand the law inside and out, and we are here to help you get the resolution you deserve.
What is Indiana’s Lemon Law?
Indiana’s Lemon Law, officially known as the Motor Vehicle Protection Act, is designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles that turn out to be defective. Under this law, if your vehicle has significant issues that substantially impair its use, market value, or safety, and the manufacturer fails to repair it within a reasonable amount of time, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a refund.
This law applies only to new vehicles purchased or leased in Indiana and excludes motorcycles, off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, and conversion vans. If your vehicle meets the criteria outlined in the law, you may be eligible for compensation. However, pursuing a claim under Indiana’s Lemon Law can be a complex process, which is why HC Bradley LLC is here to guide you through every step. 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.
How Does a Vehicle Qualify for a Lemon Law Claim
Not every vehicle issue qualifies under Indiana’s Lemon Law. To be considered a “lemon,” your vehicle must meet specific requirements:
• It must have a substantial defect. A minor issue, such as a cosmetic flaw, will not qualify. The defect must significantly impact the use, value, or safety of the vehicle.
• The defect must occur within 18 months of purchase or before 18,000 miles. The issue must arise within this period for the vehicle to be considered under Lemon Law protections.
• The manufacturer must have been given a reasonable opportunity to repair the defect. Typically, this means at least four unsuccessful repair attempts for the same issue, or the vehicle must have been out of service for at least 30 business days due to repairs.
If your vehicle meets these criteria, you have the right to seek compensation. However, manufacturers often resist Lemon Law claims, making legal representation essential. At HC Bradley LLC, we fight for consumers who have been wronged by auto manufacturers.
