I bought my 2010 Sonata in July 2010 as a used car from a non-Hyundai dealership. It now has about 89,000 miles. About one month ago (Feb 2017) I unlocked my driver's door with the fob and pulled on the handle. It broke off in my hand. I called the local dealership about repairing it. Cost: $40 for the handle, $60 to paint it silver and an hour's labor. Total $219!! Today, March 12, 2017, I went to put my young granddaughter in her car seat behind the driver and that door handle broke! As I was driving with her, I kept thinking if there was an emergency, how difficult it would be to get to her. After reading about all the Sonata door handles that have broken, it makes me reluctant to have a dealership fix it. When will the other two break? I have NEVER had a door handle break in my 40 plus years of driving and owning cars. I am going to call my regular mechanic and ask if he can replace the door handle if I buy the part on line. Maybe I won't get it painted this time. You can bet that I will be calling Hyundai corporate to complain about this. It sounds like they have turned a deaf ear to this problem. I will have to think long and hard about buying another Hyundai.
