The Indiana Court of Appeals tackled today an issue of first impression regarding the state's lemon law: Once a consumer has met the law's repair threshold, he can still file an action under the lemon law even if a subsequent repair fixes the problem.

In Metro Health Professionals, Inc. v. Chrysler, LLC,
No. 06A04-0809-CV-547, Metro Health Professionals purchased a Jeep from
a Chrysler dealer in October 2006. MHP took the vehicle in for service
at a repair facility authorized by Chrysler to address issues with all
the warning lights in the dash coming on, gauges that quit working,
headlights shutting on and off spontaneously, and the transmission
shifting into low gear spontaneously. Each time it was brought in,
Chrysler claimed there wasn't a problem. Finally, after the fifth time
MHP brought the car in for service, the repair facility replaced the
front control module and the problems haven't occurred since.
