The r/f door handle caused a laceration to the passenger's hand. An inspection of the door handle revealed that the chrome plating is peeling at the mold seem, resulting in a razor sharp edge along the entire top of the handle. Inspection of the other door handles revealed similar peeling that can cut anyone who comes in contact with the peeling metal plating. *js

Yes i am writing to say that we have a 2007 chevy tahoe ltz and the door handles are falling off. I am not understanding why they are coming off like this. I don't have the money to keep putting out for the same problem.. I am thinking that a recall should be put forward towards this problem. Because i see that i am not the only one with problems.... Thanks in advance *tr

I own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. All four door handles broke off from the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and they stated that the vehicle was not under warranty. The vehicle was not taken to an authorized dealer to have the failure diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 102,000. *tr

The interior passenger door handle began to peel. The chrome plating did not look dangerous until my girlfriend sliced her index finger open trying to open the door. It was almost like being cut with a sharp pocket knife. *tr

The door handles are coming completely apart on the vehicle. I cannot enter the vehicle on the right side at all and now the driver side handle is coming apart more all the time. Eventually i will not be able to get into the vehicle to drive it what so ever and do not have extra money to repair this gm issue. This needs to be taken care at no charge by chevrolet. *kb

My child attempted to open rear door on my 2007 chevy tahoe ltz. One side of the handle broke, thus pulling one side away from the door and pinching her hand somehow! This is the 2nd handle to break on this vehicle. I personally went to open my passenger side door and it broke right off! What if we were in a crash and needed to be pulled out and the door handles break off?!? Very dangerous! Upon investigating this…

I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and recently went to get out of the passenger side and sliced my finger open on the door handle. I examined the handle to find that the chrome coating is peeling, and is extremly sharp! Definatly will need to be fixed to prevent further injurys! I hope chevrolet addresses this issue immediatly, i was cut pretty bad, but would hate to have someone especially a child be hurt worse! *tr

The handle came loose only on one side (the far left) leaving it attached from only the far right. The exact same thing happened to the drivers side rear passenger within the last week. That is 2 handles in 2 months. My 5…
