To determine whether or not your vehicle qualifies as a lemon, ask yourself these questions:
● Does my vehicle have a defect the manufacturer has failed to repair?
● Is the defect covered by the warranty OR does it substantially impact the vehicle’s use, safety, or value?
● Did I give the manufacturer four (4) chances to fix the defect OR has the manufacturer kept the vehicle in service for more than 30 days?
● Was the defect first reported within 18 months or 18,000 miles of the vehicle’s life?
If you answered “Yes” to each of these questions, your vehicle is a lemon under the Indiana Lemon Law. If you answered “No” to any of the questions, you may still have a lemon under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which may classify a vehicle as a lemon after just one (1) repair attempt under certain circumstances. Further, federal law does not require the vehicle’s defects to substantially impair its use, value, or safety.
