Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Both of the rear passenger door handles broke off of the doors within two weeks of each other, under normal use. At the time of the incident, my wife's 2010 sonata had just over 78,000 miles on the odometer, just over the 75000 bumper to bumper warranty. I contacted the service department at the dealership on two separate occasions, and was told that the handles were not covered under warranty and that my best option would be to contact hyundai america to seek a resolution. I did that and opened a case with them. After providing information on the vehicle, i was told that there was no recall for the components and none was being considered. I believe that this is a major safety concern for the vehicle if a rescue attempt had to be made. Not to mention that this is a terrible inconvenience, since we have two small children and have to find other ways of accessing the passenger seats other than with the doors. The handles are made of plastic, and i believe would be prone to yet another breakage if replaced with factory parts. This in my opinion, if faulty engineering and workmanship on the part of hyundai.
