| Description of the problem | On 12/2016 my passenger exterior door handle broke while loading my vehicle at sams club. On 11/2017 my driver side exterior door handle broke as i was getting it for work. This meant i needed to climb into the driver's seat from the back of the car. I did get it fix paying $170 for the drivers side and also a rental car. I still need to fix the passenger side. Hyundai needs to recall this problem because ems will not be able to get into my car thus making the broken handles a safety issue. |
