Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Both visors on my 2007 Sonata do not stay in place, I have contacted Hyundai and they are unsympathetic to my situation due to the mileage, 72,000, out of warranty. Also, both of my rear door handles have broken. I have to reach around to inside of door to open rear door.”
NHTSA complaint #10383386, filed 2011-02, 72,000 miles“Door handle on driver's side interior stopped catching while trying to open door. Apparently this is a common problem with this vehicle. Have to open window to open door from outside. Cheap, plastic manufacturing. What if I needed to get out of the car during an accident. Opening the window or climbing through another door may not be an option.”
NHTSA complaint #10350797, filed 2010-08, 55,550 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while attempting to open the passenger side door, the door handle completely fractured. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where he was advised that because the door handle was designed from plastic, the cold weather would cause the plastic to break. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000.”
