My door handles, right front, left and right rear has broken off in a 3 months time. There was no pulling hard, or handling the door handles rough. I have one door handle working properly and that is the driver side, if that one breaks, I have no way to get in my car, I went to the dealer near me and they want $460.00 to repair, place and paint. Am I under warranty, and the answer was no, my car has 68,000. Miles. How can you not recall, or cover a defect in a 2010 vehicle. I'm so afraid my driver handle is going to break, I am going to have to replace the handles myself if hyundai does not come up with a recall.

Two exterior door handles, one on the front passenger side and one on the rear driver's side broke off in my hand. This happened within a couple of hours of each other.
Rear driver door handle just fell off the car when trying to open door. Had to replace entire handle assembly. Never had this ever happen in any car I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few older cars.
The rear driver-side door handle fell off the vehicle; the plastic used to attach the handle to the interior portion of the mechanism simply broke inside the door -- no damage had been done prior to the handle and it was not used harshly. The passenger-side front door handle has become very loose and the plastic on the inside of the door handle appears to be cracking.

Both of the rear passenger door handles broke off of the doors within two weeks of each other, under normal use. At the time of the incident, my wife's 2010 sonata had just over 78,000 miles on the odometer, just over the 75000 bumper to bumper warranty. I contacted the service department at the dealership on two separate occasions, and was told that the handles were not covered under warranty and that my best option would be to contact hyundai america to seek a resolution. I did that and opened a case with them. After providing information on the vehicle, I was told that there was no recall for the components and none was being considered. I believe that this is a major safety concern for the vehicle if a rescue attempt had to be made. Not to mention that this is a terrible inconvenience, since we have two small children and have to find other ways of accessing the passenger seats other than with the doors. The handles are made of plastic, and I believe would be prone to yet another breakage if replaced with factory parts. This in my opinion, if faulty engineering and workmanship on the part of hyundai.
I own a 2010 hyundai sonata, which has never been in an accident and I have owned the vehicle since new. Since july 2013, I have had 3 door handles break off in my hand. I am a single person, that does not have continuous use of the passenger side front and rear handles or the driver side rear door. At this time, I have one door handle left on my car, which is the driver side and very worried if this falls off, I will not be able to get into my vehicle. At this point, the vehicle is unsafe. If I had anyone in my vehicle and was in an accident, the rescue attendant would not be able to assist in getting people out. I have talked to the dealership service dept. And the hyundai customer care and was told because of mileage, I am out of warranty and hyundai will not cover the replacement of the door handles. Because this is not a normal wear and tear issue, but I believe this is a manufacture defect of the door handles and a safety issue, hyundai should issue a recall.
I have a 2010 hyundai sonata with approximately 77,000 miles on it. My passenger side door handle came off today, 11/29/13. This is the 2nd one in the last 6 months that has come completely off when someone tried to open it. This happened during normal conditions and use. The handles only have plastic clips holding them on. I feel that this is a big problem and could be a serious safety hazard. Hyundai needs to look into this and recall as it seems to be a huge problem that many owners are having. The dealer quoted me a price of $250 to replace it with one that was painted to match my car.

Right front door handle broke off while standing still under normal use when my 15-year old son opened it. Not covered by warranty as 60k had passed and dealer would not cover. I had dealer replace handle. Five months later, left rear door handle broke off when my 13-year old daughter opened it while getting in car. Both events happened under normal use but standing still. This could pose a safety hazard if it causes the door to open while the car is moving. I contend that there is a design defect in that the door handle is not designed sturdy enough (it is plastic), and hyundai should fix and recall.

I am filing a complaint regarding the door handles on hyundai vehicles. I drive a hyundai sonata and have had the door handle break off three separate times in my hand. When I have taken it in to get fixed, I am told that this is a common occurrence, they replace it with the same style handle and send me on my way. My concern with this, besides that it is a known defect that is not covered by the company, is that it is a safety issue. I have a young child in a carseat in my car with me almost always. If the door handles continue to break off, there is no way for me to enter the car from the outside and she is trapped inside the car in her carseat.

Passenger-side front door handle fell off- no accident or outside impact.
I went to open the rear door and the handle came off. Appears to be broken since I'm being told by hyundai gurnee service that it has to be replaced.
The passenger front door handle broke off. See multiple problems with this on line with this model and year.
The second exterior door handle fell off.
On sunday 9/1, I came out of church and could not open my passenger back door from the outside. My son took it to the dealer on 9/4 where I get my service done, he was told it would be $80 to look at the problem because my warranty had run out, but they would deduct the $80 from the price of repair, I did not get it fixed, low and behold on 9/4 after getting off work I went into the store, came out and my passenger side front door would not open from the outside, very dangerous, if I have an accident no one would be able to get me out nor my grandson out who sit behind the passenger seat, he is 5. What can I do if I cannot afford to get the doors repaired at this time. Seems like a very bad safety issue to me and the manufacture should fix this at no expense to me, seems like a recall to me.
My complaint is that the original black steel wheels on my vehicle have rusted. I am surprised that a vehicle will suffer rust on its wheels after so short a period of time. No I do not drive onto or near a beach. My car did not suffer sea water damage as a result of hurricane sandy. The black paint on my wheels is now a rusty brown. Is there any safety recall regarding these wheels? Please contact me. Thankyou
I purchased a used 2010 hyundai sonata gls.one year ago with 60,000 miles on it. In this time I have had 3 different plastic door handles break off when trying to open the car doors. Each incident costing me $200.00. For a total of $600.00. With no reimbursement from hyundai. They said it wasn't a problem and were not responsible. There should be a recall on this.
