| Description of the problem | My door handles, right front, left and right rear has broken off in a 3 months time. There was no pulling hard, or handling the door handles rough. I have one door handle working properly and that is the driver side, if that one breaks, i have no way to get in my car, i went to the dealer near me and they want $460. 00 to repair, place and paint. Am i under warranty, and the answer was no, my car has 68,000. Miles. How can you not recall, or cover a defect in a 2010 vehicle. I'm so afraid my driver handle is going to break, i am going to have to replace the handles myself if hyundai does not come up with a recall. |
