2010 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

DRIVER SIDE - OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST FELL OFF IN HAND. THIS IS THE 3RD HANDLE THAT HAS FALLEN OFF IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS - WHEN IT DOES THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. YOU ASK WHY IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD - WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON AND YOU GO SOME WHERE IN THE CAR - THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET IN IS TO OPEN ANOTHER DOOR AND RELEASE THE BROKEN HANDLE DOOR BY THE INSIDE AND THEN WALK AROUND AND GET IN - THIS IS NOT SAFE IN PARKING LOTS AT THIS DAY AND TIME - BY THAT TIME SOME ONE ELSE CAN SLIDE INTO THE CAR WITH YOU - PLEASE LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS - MOST OF US HAVE HAD MORE THAT ONE BREAK - THIS IS WAY TO MANY AND THE CAR MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND GET THIS STRAIGHT - A DOOR HANDLE THAT YOU USE TO GET IN AND OUT OF EVERYDAY (THE HINGE) BEING MADE OUT OF PLASTIC - TO ME IF FEEL LIKE THEY DESIGNED IT TO BREAK

PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR HANDLE WAS BROKEN (TEAR OFF) WHEN MY 11 YEAR OLD KID OPENED THE DOOR WHILE IT IS IN MY GARAGE. LOOKS LIKE TO ME DOOR HANDLES MADE WITH INFERIOR MATERIAL. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO YOUR NOTICE. HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE THE PARTS AND LABOR AT FREE OF COST. I HAVE PRESERVED THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE PART. *TR

DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THERE WAS NO EXCESSIVE USE OR FORCE ON THEM. THE JUST BREAK OFF. THIS IS UNSAFE IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AS IT WILL MAKE IT TOUGH TO GET PEOPLE OUT IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR

MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE ON THE OUTSIDE HAS COME OFF. AS I'M READING ONLINE IM SEEING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE SO I'M TRYING TO COMPREHEND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $200 EVERY OTHER MONTH TO FIX THIS ISSUE!! *TR

GOING THROUGH A 2-3 INCH PUDDLE OF WATER VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED UP AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. NOW WHEN THERE IS ANY HEAVY RAIN THE CAR STEERING LOCKS UP. *TR

THE OUTSIDE REAR DOOR HANDLES BROKE. ONE CAME OFF COMPLETELY, THE OTHER IS STILL ATTACHED BUT DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL NOT OPEN DOOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY LEAVE THE WINDOW DOWN IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 08/28/14*LJ UPDATED 08/29/2014 *JS

THIS ACTUALLY IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN 2 MONTHS THAT AN OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF IN OUR HANDS. THIS TIME IT WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE DRIVER REAR DOOR.. WE VERY SELDOM USE THIS CAR EXCEPT WITH A DRIVER, SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THIS FAILURE. WE ARE NOW HOLDING OUR BREATH FOR THE OTHER HANDLES TO COME OFF. THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T OFFERING TO ACCEPT OWNERSHIP FOR REPAIRING THIS. WE HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR SAME. WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS MODEL TO OTHERS SINCE HYUNDAI ISN'T BEING HONEST THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR AUTOS! *TR

WHEN OPENING THE PASSENGER DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF IN MY HAND. SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. HYUNDAI REPLACED IT UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT WHAT HAPPENS THEN? IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL MAY HAVE TO EVACUATE SOMEONE FROM THE CAR. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN ANY DOOR. *TR

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHILE OPENING THE DOOR IN THE MORNING OF 6/20/14 AT AROUND 6:40 AM WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARKING AND THE ENGINE WASN'T STARTED. THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT OPENS FROM THE INSIDE. *TR
