Description of the problem	This evening at our local news channel wflx i saw a story about hyundai sonatas's door handles falling off. This lady had all 4 outside door handles break off. The news station said hyundai told them this is an isolated case. Not true. I have replaced all outside door handles and two of the inside handles on my vehicle. Just like the one the news showed. My sister in law who lives in jacksonville fl. Had the same issue. So it's not an isolated issue. First time my door handle broke. I took it to my local hyundai dealer (napleton's hyundai) and it cost me $600 to get it fixed. Since then i've been fixing it myself. Guess what, the door handle broke off again. This will be my 5th time fixing the door handles. Someone needs to look at this issue. If you need a picture i can upload one tomorrow. Thanks for your time.
