| Description of the problem | This actually is the second time within 2 months that an outside door handle came off in our hands. This time it was the front passenger door and the first time it was the driver rear door.. We very seldom use this car except with a driver, so it is difficult to accept this failure. We are now holding our breath for the other handles to come off. The dealership isn't offering to accept ownership for repairing this. We have seen many other complaints for same. Will not recommend this model to others since hyundai isn't being honest that this is a problem with their autos! |
