Indiana does have a lemon law called the Motor Vehicle Protection Act. It doesn't differentiate between new and used cars, as long as the warranty is still in effect and the car has no more than 18,000 miles on the odometer. While passenger cars are included, other vehicles like motorcycles and semi-trucks are not.

Steps to Follow if you are Covered by the Lemon Law Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to report the problem and have repairs made. The problem must be reported within 18 months from the time you purchased the vehicle or before you have driven the vehicle more than 18,000 miles, whichever comes earlier.
