Ford Lemon Law Cases in Indiana

How Indiana Lemon Law (§ 24-5-13) applies to Ford — F-150, Bronco, Mustang Mach-E. Massive IN rural pickup market.

Ford has massive Indiana presence — particularly the F-150 pickup in rural IN. Indiana Lemon Law applies fully.

Common Ford defect patterns

  • 10R80 10-speed transmission — F-150, Mustang, Explorer, Expedition.
  • Powershift DCT — Focus, Fiesta (older).
  • EcoBoost 3.5L / 2.7L / 2.3L — coolant intrusion, carbon buildup.
  • 6.7L Power Stroke diesel — CP4 fuel pump failure.
  • Bronco — hard top, frame, electrical issues at launch.
  • Mustang Mach-E — OTA bricking, charging issues.
  • F-150 Lightning — battery, charging, range issues.
  • SYNC 3 / SYNC 4 infotainment — module failures.
  • Death wobble — F-150 / Super Duty front-end vibration.

Death wobble in rural Indiana

Indiana’s substantial rural pickup market makes Ford death wobble cases particularly common. Strong IN Lemon Law cases.

10R80 transmission litigation

Ford’s 10R80 has produced multiple class actions and individual Lemon Law cases. IN courts have rejected the “characteristic” defense.

Ford IDS / BBB Auto Line

Ford uses BBB Auto Line as certified IDS. IN consumers must:

  • File BBB Auto Line first (§ 24-5-13-19).
  • Then court action if denied.

IDCSA in Ford cases

  • EV range claims — Lightning real-world range vs. EPA.
  • OTA-induced failures — Mach-E “bricking.”
  • Death wobble disclosure.
  • Software-update efficacy.

Requires 30-day cure notice for treble damages.

Bottom line

Ford is fully covered under Indiana Lemon Law. 10R80 transmission, EcoBoost coolant intrusion, death wobble, and Mach-E / Lightning EV issues create strong cases.
