Consumer Description

CHROME INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE CHROME ON THE HANDLE IS CRACKING AT THE CHROME EDGE. IT HAS A SHARP EDGE AND CUT MY PASSENGERS HAND. I HAD THIS HANDLE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE BEFORE FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOW IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2002 - 2003 SONATAS PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK THEY FIXED ANYTHING AND THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED FOR THE RECALL AS WELL. *TR
