2010 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON I-4 IN FLORIDA AND A GMC PICKUP TRUCK HIT ME IN THE REAR OF MY CAR A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE GMC TRUCK WAS GOING 70-78 MPH WHEN IT HIT ME. NONE OF MY SIDE OR ANY OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. IT HAPPENED ON 12/23/16. YOUR LOWER DATE CODE WOULDN'T LET ME INSERT THIS DATE. SUPER GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY.

TODAY THE THIRD DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN ON MY HYUNDAI SONATA IN SIX YEAR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

THE DOOR HANDLES KEEP BREAKING OFF. TWO YEARS AGO THE THE BACK PASSANGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF IN MY HAND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION, THERE WAS NO SNAPPING SOUND JUST A DOOR HANDLE NOT ATTACHED TO THE DOOR. WE PAID OUT OF POCKET AND GOT THIS FIXED SINCE IT IS UNSAFE SINCE EMERGENCY HELP WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE BACK SEAT IF THE PASSENGERS WERE INCAPACITATED. THEN TODAY THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF IN MY HAND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WE ARE ONCE AGAIN GOING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THIS FIXED SINCE IT IS UNSAFE IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO ANYONE IN THE BACK SEAT, INCLUDING CHILDREN. EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS NOT USED (BARELY ANY PRESSURE WAS USED), NO SOUNDS ACCOMPANIED THE BREAKAGE, AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR PREVIOUSLY. THERE WAS NO LEGITIMATE REASON FOR THE DOOR HANDLES TO BREAK.

WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY OVER EVERYTHING COMES ON AND EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE STARTER. I HAVE REPLACED 3 STARTERS AND THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 103,000 MILES ON IT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF OUTSIDE OF THE STORE. I CAME BACK OUT TURNED THE KEY AND NOTHING. I WAS STRANDED AGAIN! I'M THINKING IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THE CHROME SPLIT AND CREATED TWO RAZOR SHARP EDGES. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD THREE LACERATIONS ON HIS POINTER FINGER, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,007.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK AND DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE VEHICLE. IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION, RESCUE PERSONNEL WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GAIN EASY ACCESS TO RENDER AID. BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN AND NOW A REAR DOOR! NO WARNING AND HYUNDAI DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECT. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SAME PROBLEM ON INTERNET. HANDLE SIMPLY BREAKS WHEN OPENING DOOR. APR-OCT 2016

CAR DOOR HANDLES BRAKING OFF. 2/14 LEFT FRONT DOOR HANDLE 5/15 RIGHT FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKE 5/15 DRIVER REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. 4/16 FRONT RIGHT DOOR PASSENGER AGAIN BROKE. NOW 10/16 REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE.... THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR FIXED BY DEALER NO CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN AND RARELY EVEN USE BACK DOOR THE PLASTIC IS CHEAP AND CRUMBLES. DEALER WANT $250 TO FIX . THIS NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED WITHOUT CHARGE OR START USING BETTER QUALITY PARTS

OK, I AM ANOTHER 2010 SONATA OWNER WITH REPEATED DOOR HANDLE BREAKING AND DETACHING FROM THE CAR ISSUE. MY UNCLE OWNED THE CAR SINCE NEW AND GAVE IT TO ME ON 11/9/15. WHILE HIS, HE HAD TO REPLACE 3 DOOR HANDLES, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. YESTERDAY, (10/15/16) THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF AGAIN. ORIGINALLY, ALL THE HANDLE BREAKS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE. NOW, THE CAR HAS 81,182 MILES ON IT. BUT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN REPLACED BEFORE. YOU ARE AWARE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL ALL THESE CARS AND RECTIFY THIS ONGOING ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE INDEED. IN A CRASH, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL COULD NOT ENTER THE CAR, SHOULD IT BE ON IT'S SIDE AND THE EXPOSED DOORS HAVE BROKEN HANDLES. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ON HERE CITING 2 OR MORE HANDLES BROKEN AT THE SAME TIME. MY UNCLE IS SINGLE AND SO AM I. THE PASSENGER DOORS ON THIS CAR ARE NOT, HAVE NOT, BEEN USED THAT OFTEN AS I SELDOM HAVE PASSENGERS. IT IS UNSPEAKABLE THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. AGAIN THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DENIES ENTRANCE TO THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE DO NOT TURN A DEAF EAR TO THOUSANDS OF CAR OWNERS WITH THIS CONCERN. THANK, YOU
