| Description of the problem | When opening the passenger door, the door handle came off in my hand. Seems that this is a common problem with this car. Hyundai replaced it under the warranty but what happens then? In case of an accident, emergency personnel may have to evacuate someone from the car. They should be able to open any door. |
