 Description of the problemI replaced the passenger side rear door handle a month ago because it broke off when i was opening the door to let my child out and now the driver side rear door handle broke off when i was opening the door for my child. Very dangerous as i was in both instances helping my young child out of the car. This is a safety recall issue. In my driving years, which spans 34 year and countless vehicles, i have never had a door handle malfunction let alone break off. I have owned ehicles for 13-15 years typically and had no instances of door handle malfunctioning or breaking off. The repair costs $130 or so for each door handle, but more important is my lack of confidence that it may happen again and it may be an emergency situation. Nhtsa please ensure hyundai is held accountable and required to design a fix for this issue and offer a refund to already repaired door handles.
