Description of the problem	The chrome "wrap", which is a chrome colored covering on the driver's side door handle became detached leaving a razor sharp edge, which cut my hand when i tried to open the door with the door handle to exit the vehicle. I have had to use a glove or exercise care to open the door. According to reports posted on the web, hyundai had issued recalls for earlier year models but has refused to for newer models even though the same problem occurs in the newer models and isn't just manifest in the driver's side door handle but occurs in other handles as well. The dealer claims that the defect is not covered by hundai's warranty because my vehicle is "way out of warranty."
