Description of the problem	I have experienced three (3) broken outside door handle breaking the same way from stress fracture where the plastic door handle contacts the metal latch. It appears the plastic door handle is too brittle for intended use. The broken door handles were replaced as follows: -rear right side door handle was replaced jan 16, 2012 -rear left side door handle was replaced dec 21, 2013 -driver's door handle replaced dec 1, 2014 i contacted hyundai customer care and they do not appear to be concerned that this is a safety issue and are treating this as normal wear and tear. A broken door handle fails hawaii state safety inspection as the door cannot be opened from the outside. Hawaii is not subject to extreme temperature changes. I do not believe this is normal wear and tear as i experienced door handle failure as soon as 2 years of use with the least used door handles, rear passenger doors breaking before the most used driver? S door handle. There are numerous same failures reported on the internet. My hyundai dealer now has these door handles in stock (used to have to order them in) and told me this is a common occurrence of my model sonata and to report my concerns to hyundai usa, which i did to no avail. Maybe they will listen to the nhtsa. Please help. Thank you.
