It would seem to me they would actually replace the handles, instead of pissing off paying customers. Consider this, how does a flaw like this even make it past inspection?

I got all four handles wrapped. I had been filing the handles down b/c everyone was getting razor slits in their fingers. So since I did the filing I couldn 't get a total replacement...hence the wraps. It looked like crap. It was some clear cellophane thing which I prompted pulled off and it left a rather decent looking silver overlay. I don't think the service people knew what to do with the wrap. I called Hyundai too...no luck there either. It's too bad b/c I really love my Sonata. I just had the “repair” work done too and was so angry I came online to see what I could find out.

I just recently had this "repair" performed, it was awful work. They replaced the driver-side door handle, but "wrapped" the other handles with silver looking stickers that are terrible! If I knew that it was going to look as bad as it does, I would have just opted to cut my fingers on the defective handle. I called Hyundai and expressed my disappointment, but after a few days of waiting, they came back and told me that they couldn't help me. I'm extremely disappointed in Hyundai, and seriously doubt that I will be buying another vehicle from them if this is how they solve issues. I would recommend not having this work performed.
