NHTSA Complaint #10566909 — 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON

I BOUGHT MY 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHEN IT WAS 1 YR OLD AND HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS NOW MARCH 2014 AND THE CAR IS 7-8 YRS OLD AND ONLY HAS A TOTAL OF 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN GENTLY AND IN GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS AND RARELY A POTHOLE HAS IT HIT. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TIME THINGS STARTED, MAYBE A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, BUT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ESC LIGHT COMING ON AND THE TMS COMING ON - THEY WOULD GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND I EVENTUALLY GOT THEM FIXED - I THINK THOSE WERE UNDER WARRANTY, NOT SURE. BACK IN EARLY 2013 MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THIS REALLY STRESSED ME OUT - FOUND MONEY TO BORROW. I TOOK IT IN AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAD EXPIRED. I PAID $1700 TO HAVE THAT FIXED. I SEE RECALLS DON'T EXPIRE - DO I HAVE A CASE AGAINST THEM TO GET MY MONEY BACK? ALSO, NOW MY ESC LIGHT IS STARTING TO COME ON AGAIN. SOME TIMES 5 MINS OR SO AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND SOMETIME UPON TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON A VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS NOT CHEAP TO FIX REGARDLESS OF THE CARS AGE, THERE IS LITTLE MILES ON IT. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH THESE ISSUES? I AM ON FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT PAY ANOTHER DIME TOWARDS FIXING THESE REPETITIVE WARNING198088 LIGHT ISSUES. THESE CARS ARE STEALING FROM US, WHAT SHOULD BE WORKING TO BEGIN WITH... THANKS - HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR ME. ESPECIALLY ABOUT REFUNDING THE $1700. IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ESC IT WON'T GET FIXED, IT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. *TR
