Broken door handle

[JSCarr2016]

Maybe it came off in your wife's hand but was broken by the kid that tried to break into your car last week?

You are right, more than likely that is what occurred.... this same kid has been traveling the country for the last 6 years breaking the handles off all the pre-2017 cars in this thread... but good news is, now I have links to fix it myself. If the kid was smart, he would come around after breaking the handles and offer to repair them too after a little markup.

YEP that's exactly what happened to mine 1 week ago. That darn kid he or she gets around! Mine broke at the exact location easy fix but painting it is pain in the A*S

Well the actually part that is broken only cost $16 for passenger side online, which is the handle stop trim piece.

The main door handle itself seem fine; so it should be a easy repair to do yourself. However you may have to have the part painted, so it may still cost about $100 if you pay someone to do it.

Here is how to remove the broken door handle section. Just pull a plug and unbolt it. Bolt in the new part and replace door plug. Too easy. Yeah it is a pain in the butt when parts break, but it is easy and cheap to fix on the Genesis. Pretty simple car to repair mostly.

I ordered this part and worked like a charm! I used the Hyundai touch up paint to paint it and while it doesn't look perfect it fine for me and better than paying the 250 the dealer wanted

Yeah, these handles are flawed and break fairly often unfortunately.

This is ridiculous. Second rear handle on the car broke into two pieces exactly how the first one did, the second I gingerly tried opening it. I have a used 2017 G90 under an extended “full” warranty I paid about $5000 extra for and it was is bumper to bumper. The dealer explained this is auto body damage and would never be covered normally. I spoke to a few friends who are mechanics and they said the same thing (on the first one). I was quoted $800 for the first handle. I went nuts, so they lowered it to $650. I also called other auto body shops and they all said there was so much technology in these rear handles (motion detection and lights are all I see) that they wouldn’t do it. Not for less anyway. Plus the handles have to be painted to match that car, thus the body shop. After reading all of your post I’m pretty pissed.

If your G90 door handle broke like the G80 door handle stop section it only a $12 dollar part held by one nut . Easy fix.



The main door handle is only $220 which is pretty easy to repair as well, but it is usually the cheap stopper section that breaks in these cars.

Has happened twice to me on a 2014 Genesis in Australia, twice covered by warranty

My 8 year-old grandson just broke my passenger rear door handle. The small retaining clip at the rear of the handle broke off. This is the second time a handle has broken. I few months ago the front passenger handle broke in a similar way. It was replaced at no cost by the dealer. Off to see the dealer about fixing the newest break.

Has anyone else had a problem with breaking handles?

Yes my rear door handle broke on me today after I washed it. I was just opening it to vacuum the rear floor, and it broken and came apart on me. This shouldn't happen in a upscale luxury car with 78,000 miles on it. I've owned all type of cars over the years, Infiniti M45, Infiniti I35, Nissan Maxima's, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX & none of these vehicles I have had a door handle break like this.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 and I was just opening my backdoor to get out my brief case and the back door handle broke, or what I should say the back small piece broke which is called the "cover driver side rear door outside handle". It appears its a easy repair you can do it yourself for under $20. This cover seems to be the part that keeps the main door handle stop from pulling all the way out when you pull on the door handle. Kind of like the door handle stop that is made out of plastic that breaks pretty easy.

I used the online Hyundai service manual. You have to pay to use it. I just save the pages I need as PDF files under the print option.

I have broken all four handles on my 2015 Genesis At different times over the 100,000 miles I’ve put on the car. Since being replaced under warranty, not one has broken again. My guess is they had a manufacturing defect that was corrected.

That bloody kid is not short of money, he came to Australia and stuffed my 2014 door handle too!

I'm in Australia with the same model, same problem, but no warranty. I guess your warranty meant that dealers fixed it - but I don't have much faith in our dealers in WA, as good mechanics are as rare as hen's teeth. The standard of my latest service suggests it was actually done by those hens! I don't suppose you got to explore panel beaters as an alternative.

Boy that kid gets around. Hasn't found us, yet.

"panel beaters". Is that by chance aussie slang for a body shop?

"panel beaters". Is that by chance aussie slang for a body shop? Yes, it is actually the more formal term here, otherwise 'smash repairs'. Hadn't thought about before but panel beaters is a bit archaic isn't it? Usually we end up with US terms but 'body shop' hasn't taken off here. Anyway the body shop is fixing the door handle

 

[Andyj]

smash repairs. thats funny. We have to visit Australia

I wonder if it is possible to "glue" the broken rear piece in place?

My passenger side rear door handle just broke the other day, and I can "snap" the two handle pieces in place, and they work like that. It is a pretty tight snap-fit. My only fear is that the handle pieces will come out while driving, due to air flow over the car, or something.

Would there be harm in gluing the rear piece to the rubber gasket? What type of flue would I use?
