Hey everyone!

I’ve had my K5 for 4 months now, the only thing that has bothered me about the quality is how cheap the door handles sound when you let go. They have a very tinny sound when you let go to get in or when you pull on then and forgot to unlock the door.

I was wondering if anyone has found a mod or creative way to dampen the sound on the handle meeting the door panel.

Thanks!

Dont have a suggestion, but be careful about opening doors too forcefully, especially when pulling handle towards back of car. Entire handle came off on my 2016. Design appears to be same on K5, as someone posted the same thing happening to them. Sounds and feels cheap because entire mechanism is mostly plastic.

Anyone seen any bulletins on door handles? I've had mine since the first part of April. Today my 13 year old son grabbed the handle to open the door and it just snapped at the back of the handle. My son is no beast so it wasn't a brut force thing. Kia is going to repair it but man that doors has...

Guess that was another way for KIA to cut cost, definitely gonna be more careful from now on
