description: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, ON APPROXIMATELY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 2014, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 KIA RONDO AND A MAN HIT MY BUMPER DUE TO THE FACT HE COULD NOT SEE MY BRAKE LIGHTS (DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALLED PARTS; NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V114000 AND 09V130000). I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALLED PRODUCT UNTIL YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2015, WHEN I WAS DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. THIS WHOLE SITUATION HAS REALLY FRIGHTENED ME BECAUSE I AM ESSENTIALLY DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT, AND THE RED "AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON (THEREFORE DETERMINING THAT THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK; NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V014000), AND THE YELLOW "ESC OFF" LIGHT IS ON, AND DOES NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY POP OPEN THE HOOD TO RECONNECT THE BATTERY EVERY OTHER TIME ATTEMPT TO TURN THE CAR ON. I AM A MONDAY-FRIDAY 9-5 WORKING 19 YEAR OLD LIVING ON HIS OWN, AND I AM LIVING TO PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. I AM SIMPLY UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES DUE TO THE ENGINEERING BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND I AM PRAYING I WILL RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION SO I CAN HAVE A RELIABLE CAR FOR MY DAILY LIFE. KIND REGARDS, A 2007 KIA RONDO OWNER *TR
