Description of the problem	As i tried to open my passenger front side door this morning i pulled the handle off. The portion of the handle that connects into the latch mechanism had snapped off in the door. I would just take it in and get it fixed, but this is the third time i have had this exact problem, having lost the passenger rear handle earlier this summer and the driver's front about a year and a half ago. I can only conclude there must be a distinct defect with the construction on the doors of this model, and searching around the internet i've found a handful of other people who have had the same issue with their sonatas.
