I have a 1996 hyundia Accent, I have had to replace the drivers side door handle 3 times. The first time the dealer said he would have to order one, but this last time he had plenty in stock, he said he keeps a good stock because so many break.this would be a safety hazard if you were in a wreck and could not get out. In Louisiana you can not get an inspection sticker with out this handle in working order.
