I honestly don’t know what has happened but it started off with just the plastic piece next to the handle coming loose. Now the handle can’t be used from the outside as it’s come completely off!
I’ve managed to piece it all back together, and the door opens fine from the inside/locks ok etc.
But it’s been like that for a couple of weeks and I had just been avoiding using the handle, until I was giving the car a vacuum today and totally forget - full handle off again in my hand!!
I know I need to phone Hyundai, local service centre is nearby. Maybe if I stress that the situation is worse than it it, they’ll get it fixed asap. My guess - 4-6 weeks for an appointment, then the same again for the part(s).
Have no idea how this happened btw!!
