The exterior paint on the door handles came off both the drivers side and the passenger side..the metal wrapping of the interior door handles became dangerously sharp, and cut me on my finger. This all happened around 2009.since then the interior cloth header has come loose from the roof, and is now hanging.

Chrome interior door handle. The chrome on the handle is cracking at the chrome edge. It has a sharp edge and cut my passengers hand. I had this handle replaced under warranty once before for this issue and now it is having the same issue as before. They have a recall on the 2002 - 2003 sonatas personally I don't think they fixed anything and this should be included for the recall as well.

There is an electrical problem in my auto, which manifest itself when I switch on the electrical system. My headlights would come on normally, but inside the cabin the dashboard and all the other lights would start blinking on/off like the hazard light. The power door locks would also come unlock and when I checked on the external lights, the headlights would be steady, but the indicator (amber) lights and brake lights would be blinking. I have taken the car to a dealer but they were unable to diagnose the problem, because as they say, there are no diagnostic codes showing for electrical faults. I would appreciate any help you can give. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

About two years ago the chrome plating on the interior door handles started to peel off, resulting in hazardous sharp edges being formed. Since then it has only gotten worse and everyone in my family has received at least one cut or laceration from these sharp edges. Yesterday (03/02/2014) as I was getting out of my vehicle I received a cut on my hand about an inch long and a quarter inch deep. It required stitches to close the open wound.I know that hyundai has issued recalls for this same exact problem on their 2003-2004 models. Clearly my 2005 needs to be included in this recall.

The drivers door handle has a chrome cover on it, that at one point was glued tight to the handle, but now due to wear and tear, the edge of the plastic chrome piece is exposed and it your not paying attention and slide your hand across it when opening the door, it can result in a cut.gash in someone's hand. (injury) I have gotten a few cuts, nothing serious, but if someone really was in a rush, it could be quite a deep cut/gash in your hand.
