Consumer Description

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THE CHROME PLATING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES STARTED TO PEEL OFF, RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS SHARP EDGES BEING FORMED. SINCE THEN IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE CUT OR LACERATION FROM THESE SHARP EDGES. YESTERDAY (03/02/2014) AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE I RECEIVED A CUT ON MY HAND ABOUT AN INCH LONG AND A QUARTER INCH DEEP. IT REQUIRED STITCHES TO CLOSE THE OPEN WOUND.I KNOW THAT HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM ON THEIR 2003-2004 MODELS. CLEARLY MY 2005 NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR
