| Description of the problem | I have had my 2010 hyundai sonata since 2011. When i had 60 thousand miles on the car it was under warranty so i had 2 door handles that had to be replaced due to them braking off in the same area. They replaced them free for me but now i have another handle that is broken off. Has there been a recall on them breaking if so i would like to know why i was never sent any information on that. When i talk with the people at the dealership one dealer tells me they have had problems with the 2010 sonata door handles, but another dealers says that they haven't. What is the truth. They break off in the same area and this time i am not under warranty so they want to charge me $310. 00 to replace the handle. That is so outrageous. Also the door handle on the driver's inside pop and you have to roll down window and out from the outside. I have decided that i will be selling this car and will not buy a hyundai again and will not advise anyone else too. To me these are easy fixes that the dealers are charging you outrageous prices for. |
