You Likely Qualify!
Your answers meet the basic lemon law test. Before anyone can confirm that your car qualifies, an attorney has to see the repair orders. We work on a contingency basis, and there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
The standard lemon law test does not seem to fit. Other consumer protection laws may still help with a car like yours. Contact us anyway.

How your Indiana claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. An Indiana claim gets built on two things: the Indiana lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Indianapolis Lemon Law Basics
Indiana's lemon law, Ind. Code §24-5-13-1 to §24-5-13-24, is the one that applies in Indianapolis. It covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Indiana and used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. You may have a claim once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, as long as the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. Our Indiana Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.
How an Indianapolis Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Indianapolis.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Indianapolis dealership, even the short ones. Under Indiana's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
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 the written notice to the manufacturer that Indiana law requires when the manufacturer disclosed that requirement in the warranty or owner's manual. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
Is Your Indianapolis 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, a claim must be filed within 2 years after the buyer first reports the defect to the manufacturer, its agent, or an authorized dealer. We check that deadline 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 think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Indianapolis
Indianapolis is in Marion County. Marion 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 a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. 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.

Indiana Motor Vehicle Protection Act: The Rules That Decide an Indianapolis Claim
Indiana law sets a repair test and says whether arbitration comes first, and Court and Venue above already explains both. Here are a few of its other rules.
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. Indiana counts 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.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
By statute, the Indiana remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. When an Indianapolis car qualifies under Indiana law, the case usually ends in one of three ways.
Refund
The manufacturer buys the car back. It repays the price along with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, but it may deduct a reasonable use offset.
Replacement Vehicle
Instead of money you get a comparable new car, and the swap costs you nothing.
Cash Settlement
The statute does not set this one. It comes from negotiation: you keep the car, and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
My Honda Pilot's fuel system kept throwing check engine codes for the evaporative emissions system. Four visits, four 'fixes,' four returns of the light.
A friend said 'just call a lemon law firm already.' I called Easy Lemon and spoke to Natalie Nassi. First thing she said: 'You've done the hard work already. Now let us do ours.'
She was right. She took my mountain of paperwork—my letters, my complaint case numbers, my repair orders—and organized it into a real claim. The manufacturer settled in two months.
Why them? Natalie valued the effort I'd already put in. She didn't start from zero; she built on my frustration. That respect made all the difference.”
