| Description of the problem | Rear passenger door handle (exterior) broken - february 2020. All 4 door handles have broken on this car between 2015-2020! Hyundai paid for the first 1 but for the 2nd and 3rd told me, essentially, "too bad, door handles break." apparently they do on 2010 hyundai sonata's as there are many complaints online and all 4 door handles broke on my car. That is ridiculous. I expect hyundai to cover this one. The car has 66k miles on it. It does not get heavy use. The first 5 years, i took public transportation to work, then started working from home. There is no reason for the passenger side handles to break. The driver's door handle got normal use; nothing excessive or unusual. |
