Description of the problem	The passenger side door handle fell off in my hands. No force was used and no noise was made (ie: cracking or and other pieces were seen that fell off other then the handle itself). This door and the rear doors are very rarely used, i have no kids and am the only 1 that uses this car and very rarely have any passengers. The driver's side is the one i open regularly. I called hyundai dealership where i got the car and they claim there are no recalls are on this despite knowing of other's who had multiple doors break in a similar fashion and seeing many other incidents of this reported on nhtsa site. They didn't seem to care either or record the information of this issue. In checking hyundai dealership's are charging between $200 to $300 to repair the door handle. This is a safety issue if someone cannot get into the car to rescue someone or if they are trying to retrieve a child. In reading the other complaints i hope my other 3 don't break now and i'm on the hook to repair those out-of-pocket to. This is obviously shoddy workmanship. In all my years/multiple cars i never had a car door handle break. Its very cheap plastic.
