 Description of the problemOk, i am another 2010 sonata owner with repeated door handle breaking and detaching from the car issue. My uncle owned the car since new and gave it to me on 11/9/15. While his, he had to replace 3 door handles, one of which was the front passenger door. Yesterday, (10/15/16) the front passenger door handle broke off again. Originally, all the handle breaks were covered under warranty, including the front passenger door handle. Now, the car has 81,182 miles on it. But it should be covered because it has been replaced before. You are aware, there are numerous complaints about this issue and hyundai should be made to recall all these cars and rectify this ongoing issue. It is a safety issue indeed. In a crash, emergency personnel could not enter the car, should it be on it's side and the exposed doors have broken handles. There are complaints on here citing 2 or more handles broken at the same time. My uncle is single and so am i. The passenger doors on this car are not, have not, been used that often as i seldom have passengers. It is unspeakable that hyundai should be able to get away with this. Again this is a safety issue that denies entrance to the car in an emergency. Please do not turn a deaf ear to thousands of car owners with this concern. Thank, you
