Indiana lemon law help when your car keeps failing

How many repair visits count in Indiana?

Indiana counts 4 repair visits for the same defect under Indiana's lemon law. Tell the service writer when a defect feels unsafe, and make sure it is on the order. Get a written repair order every time, even when the dealer says nothing was found.

How many days in the shop?

The other test is time in the shop: 30 days in total, and they do not have to be in a row. Write the drop-off date and the pick-up date on every visit. The repair log adds the days up for you.

The problem must first show up within 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, per the Indiana rule. A car delivered on July 1, 2025 leaves that window on January 1, 2027. The window is when the defect must first appear; the deadline to file is a separate clock, and your attorney checks both on the call.

The time limit to file, in Indiana's own words: two years.

Indiana also asks for written notice to the carmaker. In the state's words: written notice of your problem, along with copies of all repair orders to the manufacturer. Your attorney sends it the right way.

Does Indiana lemon law cover used cars?

Indiana's state pages do not say if used cars are covered. A used car with a written warranty can use the federal warranty law. A used car sold with a written warranty can also go under the federal warranty law in every state.

What Indiana lemon law gives you back
