Air bag light illuminated, cause is front passenger seat weight sensor, this means the entire seat must be replaced, I don't feel that with the mileage as low as it is, I should pay for this repair, why hasn't the government agency (NHTSA) issued a recall on this very common occurrence? my mechanic told me he has replaced many (over 100).

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.

My air bag light keeps coming on I have had the sensor changed at least 4 times my husband bought a Hyundai and it is doing the same thing.
