| Description of the problem | Car purchased june 2016. 17,000 mi. Three months later the rear passenger door handle fell off. Within six months the rear drivers side handle fell off then the front passenger door handle fell off. This happened while the car was parked. Hyundai wants $350. 00 for each handle. I can no longer have passengers in my car it is unsafe. My fear is my driver's side door handle will fall off. I am 70 and too old to climb thru the trunk. If this isn't a recall it should be. I can file a complaint with the bbb if necessary. The car was parked when the handles fell off. |
