| Description of the problem | When we first purchased this car in 2010, a door handle fell off in the first couple of months. Hyundai replaced it free of charge. Fast forward to 2019. Car has only 45,000 miles and in the span of 2 weeks, the exterior rear right passenger and the driver side handles came off. This occurred when opening the doors. While we have a 10 year/100,000 warranty, hyundai will not honor replacing the defect. Estimated repairs are near $500. This is obviously a safety issue with the driver |
