5 Door Latch problem of the 1996 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 04/28/2003

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.
