| Description of the problem | On my 2004 hyundai sonata, the chrome door handle has been peeling away since 2007, resulting in a sharp, jagged edge that i have cut my hand on numerous times. I notice that there is already a recall order for the 2003 sonatas for this same issue under action #pe08071, but it appears that the 2004 model is doing the same thing, and i would like for that model to be added to this recall as well. |
