2010 Hyundai SONATA Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1025378
Internal NHTSA #	10554013
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor Company
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2010
File date	20/11/13
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Right front door handle broke off while standing still under normal use when my 15-year old son opened it. Not covered by warranty as 60k had passed and dealer would not cover. I had dealer replace handle. Five months later, left rear door handle broke off when my 13-year old daughter opened it while getting in car. Both events happened under normal use but standing still. This could pose a safety hazard if it causes the door to open while the car is moving. I contend that there is a design defect in that the door handle is not designed sturdy enough (it is plastic), and hyundai should fix and recall.
