Description of the problem	The following paragraph was sent to hyundai to request they fix this defect. They responded with a wordy but polite "we're sorry, but your vehicle is out of warranty". We have a 2010 sonata. About 18 months ago, the passenger side front door handle fell off while opening the door. We took it to the local dealer for repair. The cost was about $70. Three weeks ago (approx. 1/15/2015), the driver side rear handle fell off. Ten days ago (approx 1/27/2015) the passenger rear door handle fell off. The dealer wants $150 each to repair them. I can understand one handle breaking, but not (on a car less than 5 years old) three of the four handles have broken. I consider this a defect. I have researched your site and have not been able to find any matching complaints. There have been numerous, but normal problems with this vehicle - all of which we have repaired at our own expense without complaint. However, this particular issue is so egregious that we feel the manufacturer should be held responsible for the repairs.
