| Description of the problem | As i was trying to get into my car at 7:20 am on 02/24/15 the driver side door handle just fell off the door. The temperature was below zero and it was a surprise to see that happen to a 5 year old car!!!! I called the dealership to see if there is a recall or problem they know of regarding the door but turned with nothing. Then searched online to see if there are anyone else had the same problem and to my surprise they are other people who had similar incidents in several states as well a youtube video of an individual lost 3 handles in california for a newer model sonata!!!!!! Called the hyundai warranty but had to leave a message!!!!! *js |
