We evaluate whether your case fits state law, federal MMWA, or both.

Iowa's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 20 days out of service in first 2 years / 24,000 miles. Federal MMWA does not set a fixed number, it requires a 'reasonable opportunity' for the manufacturer to repair, which is fact-specific.
