If you’ve found yourself in this situation, our team at HC Bradley LLC is here to guide you through the process and ensure that you receive the resolution you deserve.

What Is Indiana’s Lemon Law?

Indiana’s Lemon Law, officially called the Motor Vehicle Protection Act, applies to new vehicles that are purchased or leased in the state. The law is designed to protect consumers like you from defective vehicles that cannot be repaired despite multiple attempts. Under Indiana law, a “lemon car” is defined as a vehicle that has a substantial defect or condition that significantly impairs its use, value, or safety.

For your vehicle to qualify as a lemon car, the defect must have occurred within 18 months of purchase or before the vehicle reaches 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. The manufacturer must be given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defect. If the issue persists, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle, a full refund, or monetary compensation.

Does Your Car Qualify as a Lemon?

Not every defective vehicle is considered a lemon under Indiana law. Here are the key criteria your car must meet:

Substantial Defect: The issue must significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Minor cosmetic problems or normal wear and tear do not qualify.

Reasonable Repair Attempts: The manufacturer or authorized dealer must have had at least four opportunities to repair the defect, or the vehicle must have been out of service for a total of 30 or more days due to repairs.

Timeliness: The defect must arise within the first 18 months of ownership or before the car has 18,000 miles on the odometer.

If your vehicle meets these criteria, you have the right to take legal action under Indiana’s Lemon Law.
