| Description of the problem | After reading several other owners complaints about the handles breaking on the 2010 sonata i too am filing a complaint. So far we have had 2 door handles break when attempting to open the door to load/ and unload groceries. The first one was replaced by the dealer and now we face this problem again. I feel there is a structural defect with the materials that needs to be addressed. This should not be happening to so many people and hyundai needs to address this and fix peoples failing equipment/ handles at no expense to the owners. |
