The door locking system is erratic. In addition the window up and down mechanism works inconsistently.
Door handles ccs me right off. Had to replace all of them
I have had three exterior door handles brake off the door on three different occasions.. The entire handle broke off upon getting to get into the car. One handle broke while under warranty, the other two broke on may 5, 2019. And june 22, 2019.
I've had to replace 3 door handles, transmission, lick seat belt, sunroof motor, since buying this car. It is 9 years old and the seals on the doors are going bad. Air and pests are getting in the car. And the noise level is horrible. I was told 2 weeks ago that the rattling I keep hearing is the universal joints and frame and will cost about $1000 to fix. Car was ok until it just hot 100000 mile mark.

I had to replace the driver & passenger door handles. Had to get switch to open gas tank repaired. When fueling car, pump continuesly stops when tank is not full.
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's side inoperable and requiring driver to climb into car. We see many online complaints regarding this issue and are disappointed with hyundai for not standing behind their product. We purchased this car because of reliability and trust and went on to purchase 2 more hyundai vehicles. We keep our cars for a long time - up to 200,000 miles and have never had handles fall off.
Takata recall...I have a complaint on the paint on my car. I have never had a problem with paint on a car like this one. It seemed to be so cheap that even a sticking tape will rip off the paint.
"takata recall" sonata door handles break for no reason. In an emergency, first responders would be unable to open the doors to evacuate passengers. This has happened to 3 of my 4 doors: car is parked. I unlock car with key in door. I push unlock button. Doors unlock. Passenger uses outside handle, but handle does not respond. Door handle is broken inside the door.car has always been parked in driveway or parking lot when this happens. No one has jerked the handle or pulled on it roughly when it broke. In all three instances a simple lift on the handle and it broke.

Hyundai sonata 2010 - the front, driver side door handle detached from the car, without warning, when attempting to open the door. The vehicle was stationary at the time that the incident occurred. A standard amount of door opening force was applied to the handle when attempting to open the door. The damage appears to have occurred with a weakened or defective clip that connects the door handle to the opening mechanism inside of the door. This is the second door handle on the driver's side that has detached from the vehicle, without warning leaving only 2 functional door handles on the vehicle.

Plastic exterior door handles break, come loose, and then can not open the door. 3 door handles now.
Went to open outside passenger back door - outside door handle fell off. Went to open outside driver's door - outside door handle fell off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the passenger side door handle detached from the vehicle without warning. Lester glenn hyundai (located at 386 rte 37 e, toms river, nj) confirmed the failure and recommended the door handle be replaced. The failure was repaired, but the driver and rear passenger doors experienced the same failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 85,000. The VIN was not provided.
Handles keep falling off in my hand when opening doors. This is at least the fourth time since l have this car. Read some other complaints on your website, sounds like defective part issue to me. Last ,time dealer charged me $90.00 to repair and it fell off next day. Now rear passenger fell off. I am 75 years old, need doors to open and close, very scary. Is that too much to ask of a $23,000 car?
Front passenger door handle broke off while opening door to enter the vehicle. Went on-line to research repair. Found that this is a very common problem on all 4 doors of this vehicle. Subsequent failures on other handles tend to happen within months of one-another. Doors that are infrequently used also have the problem. This poses a serious safety issue when removing an infant, sick, or injured person from the vehicle during an emergency. The handles are made of plastic. The inner front of the handle has a plastic pivot which snaps off, causing the handle to fall off in the hand of the person opening the door.
In the last 2 years, I have had all 4 of the door handles break off in someone's hand, when attempting to open the door. I have had 2 of them replaced already, costing about $150 - 200 each. At this time, both of my rear door handles are broken off.
3 outside door handles fell off my car while it was under warranty. The last one, the drivers door, has just now fallen off, out of warranty. Question - why did the one with the most use fall off last? Hyundai 800‑633‑5151 refuses to take action on the 4th replacement. This obviously warrants a recall because something is defective with every one.
Within the last several weeks, 2 of the 4 exterior door handles have broken off in my hand. The vehicle was stationary in both cases. In the normal course of opening the door, the door handle broke and the door would not open.
One by one all four door handles broke off. Is unsafe to drive as doors are unsecured.

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.
4 of my door handles have fallen off. I have had 3 replaced when it was under warranty but the 4th driver door they told me they would not replace since it was out of warranty. I had to use a zip tie to open the door to get in it.
"handle issue" my vehicle has around 74k miles on it and so far every handle has broken off in the winter. After the first handle broke I was more careful during the winter on opening the doors. This is not a cheap fix.
Three exterior door handles have come off in the past two years. Two came off in passenger's hands (gentle pull) and one fell off the car at unknown time. The car had only about 62,500 miles on it when the last one came off.
I replaced the passenger side rear door handle a month ago because it broke off when I was opening the door to let my child out and now the driver side rear door handle broke off when I was opening the door for my child. Very dangerous as I was in both instances helping my young child out of the car. This is a safety recall issue. In my driving years, which spans 34 year and countless vehicles, I have never had a door handle malfunction let alone break off. I have owned ehicles for 13-15 years typically and had no instances of door handle malfunctioning or breaking off. The repair costs $130 or so for each door handle, but more important is my lack of confidence that it may happen again and it may be an emergency situation. The federal safety agency please ensure hyundai is held accountable and required to design a fix for this issue and offer a refund to already repaired door handles.
Door handles fall off. I have replaced 3 of 4 handles so far. Rear drivers side replaced but is not opening now. Drivers door opens sometimes and sometimes not. This occurs when the vehicle is stationary. It costs $140 per unit.
On two separate occasions while the car was stationary, the door handles of the front passenger and left rear doors came off in my hand while opening the doors. I was then unable to open the door to let my elderly passenger out of the car.
