THE ABOVE INCIDENT THAT I'M REPORTING IS THE SECOND DOOR HANDLE TO BREAK ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE WHICH BROKE SOMETIME IN 2012. THE OUTER HANDLES JUST BREAK AND CANNOT BE USED TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. JUST YESTERDAY, 5-5-2014, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO BROKE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE FIRST TWO WERE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, WHICH I'M TOLD EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 68,000 MILES NOW. SO A TOTAL OF THREE DOOR HANDLES HAS BROKEN, ONE TO GO. IT IS REPAIRABLE, BUT THERE IS A 3 TO 4 WEEK WAIT, FOR THE PARTS, FOR IT TO GET PAINTED THAN GET INSTALLED. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND METAL DOOR HANDLES BE INSTALLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AS I WAS DRIVING TO MAKE A TURN THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES SINE THIS FIRST INCIDENT. CAR SHUT DOWN AS I WAS GOING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CRANKING OF THE IGNITION IS ALSO A PROBLEM. I FIRST REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER IN 2011. IT CRANKS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO DIE THEN IT HAS EVENTUALLY CAUGHT AND TURNED ON. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. SINCE IT DOESN'T SHOW A CODE OR ACT UP WHEN I AM IN FOR SERVICE THEY DO NOTHING FOR ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD AND I DECELERATE DOWN THRU 20 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS ABRUPTLY CAUSING A JERKING MOTION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AN AUTO MECHANIC WHO RESEARCHED IT THAT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL RECALL BY HYUNDAI FOR THIS ISSUE. HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THAT HYUNDAI INSTALLED COMPUTER CONTROL EQUIPMENT FROM AN OLDER MODEL IN THEIR 2010 SONATAS AND THIS RESULTED IN A FAILURE IN PROPER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION'S SOLENOID, CAUSING THE ABRUPT DOWN SHIFTING AT 20 MPH WHEN CAR IS COLD. ONE LAST NOTE: WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED OCCURRING, IT WOULD CAUSE THE "FIX ENGINE" LIGHT TO COME ON, BUT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED FOR ABOUT THE LAST THREE WEEKS. THE ABRUPT DOWN SHIFTING WHEN COLD STILL OCCURS CONSISTENTLY, ALWAYS RIGHT AROUND 20 MPH. *TR

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. *TR
