Gary Lemon Law

Gary Lemon Law Basics

In Gary, as anywhere else in Indiana, a lemon law claim is brought under Ind. Code §24-5-13-1 to §24-5-13-24. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Indiana, used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our Indiana Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

Step by Step

How a Gary Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Gary.

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Gary dealership, even the short ones. IN lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Indiana statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that IN law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

You Get Compensated

The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Ind. Code §24-5-13-1 to §24-5-13-24

Is Your Gary Car a Lemon? Indiana's 3-Step Test

Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?

Under Indiana law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Indiana the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Indiana the deadline is 2 years following the date the buyer first reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer, its agent, or an authorized dealer. We check it against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.

If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666

If you are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Lake County

Court and Venue in Gary

Gary is in Lake County. Lake County has both a Circuit Court and a Superior Court, and Indiana's judicial directory lists both for the county. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Indiana lemon law is Ind. Code §24-5-13-1 to §24-5-13-24. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified and available, the consumer must complete it first.

The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A consumer who prevails may recover attorney fees.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

What the Statute Says

Indiana Motor Vehicle Protection Act: The Rules That Decide a Gary Claim

If you have read Court and Venue above, you already have the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline. Indiana law adds a few rules on top of those, and they follow.

Notable provisions of Indiana Motor Vehicle Protection Act

Indiana covers vehicles with a declared gross vehicle weight under 10,000 lbs, and its term of protection runs 18 months or 18,000 miles from delivery. Uses business days for the out-of-service count. Written notice to the manufacturer is required where the manufacturer disclosed that requirement in the warranty or owner’s manual.

Your Rights Under IN Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under Indiana law the remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A qualifying IN case from Gary usually closes in one of these three ways.

Refund

The car goes back to the manufacturer, which returns what you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, less a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer swaps your car for a comparable new one and pays for the exchange.

Cash Settlement

You hold on to the car and are paid for the value the defect cost you. This one is not in the statute. It is negotiated.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Indiana law and on the paperwork Gary drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Bring the repair orders from your Gary dealer, your purchase or lease contract and your warranty booklet. Of the three, the repair orders carry the case. Each one shows the date, the mileage and what the service department did or did not fix. If a few are missing, ask the service desk for copies.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Gary drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Indiana rule is: consumer must exhaust manufacturer's arbitration if state-certified and available. We prepare that filing for you.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Ind. Code §24-5-13-1 to §24-5-13-24, your Gary car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Indiana, used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own. Indiana covers vehicles with a declared gross vehicle weight under 10,000 lbs, and its term of protection runs 18 months or 18,000 miles from delivery.

REMEDIES

In Indiana, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) adds a second fee-shifting route when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Indiana cases by phone, email and e-signature. You upload your repair orders, your contract and your warranty booklet. We send the demand letter and handle the settlement paperwork. Nothing in Ind. Code §24-5-13-1 to §24-5-13-24 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Indiana rule is: consumer must exhaust manufacturer's arbitration if state-certified and available.

“I had a good experience with Easy lemon. I had bought a used truck that had transmission issues before I even got it home. After a year of the dealership giving me the runaround, I reached out to Easy Lemon. It was a drawn out process dealing with the vehicle manufacturer. We got it done and I am happy with the results. Thanks to Vanessa, Antonio, Fabio, and the rest of the team that made this possible.”
