The chrome plated driver side door handle is peeling. When the plating starts to peel the chrome is very sharpe and cuts like a razor. I have cut my fingers three seperate times. The dealership wants approx. $100 to replace the chrome plating. In other words, to replace a sticker. This is completely unacceptable and very hazardous. *tr

I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe and over the past 3 months, the door handles have begun to come loose and pull off the vehicle. I've done research online and i've found that this is a very common problem. The piece is made of plastic and snaps into place and thus has become loose. All 4 of my doors are experiencing this problem and we've been told that gm is not covering this under warranty (i have an extended…

I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and am experiencing the interior door handle problem that so many others have. The chrome-like plating is peeling and is razor sharp. The passenger side cut my husband's finger. He said it was very painful and it bled for a while - even started again a day later. The driver's side is doing the same thing, but i have not cut myself - yet. *tr

My 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz has chrome door handles which are all coming loose. Two of them are so loose that they are about to break off. The other two look as if it is only a matter of time. When you try to use the handle that's loose you can get your fingers caught under the handle and smash them up if you aren't careful. *tr

I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and both the driver and passenger interior door handles have began to peel and are very sharp. My wife and myself are very careful when we open or close the doors so as to not cut ourselves, but my 2 year old son was in the front seat while i was cleaning the inside of the car and cut his hand on the door handles. It wasn't bad enough to need stitches but believe this is a defect that gm…

I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe lt. Recently the chrome plating on the passenger side door handle just started peeling for no reason. It is sharp as a razor blade and extremely dangerous. My wife already cut her finger very badly. This is definitely a manufacturing issue and an extreme hazard. *tr

I just read that the nhtsa is investigating the interior door handles on the 2007 tahoe. I have had this problem many times, and so has my wife. It's the seam where the two pieces of 'fake' chrome come together at the top of the door handle - think of a razor sharp piece of plastic every time you try to open your door. I took it into the dealer (john l. Sullivan, roseville, ca) where we bought it and they said there…

2007 tahoe ltz has had 3 door handles break during the last 2.5 years of ownership. Am finding this is a very common issue for the 2007 model year. Door handles are approx $200.00 each to replace. Can't anything be done by gm motors to make this right? *tr

Just after purchase, while they were prepping my new 07 tahoe i noted that it had a dent in the rear drivers-side door in the ridge over the rear wheel opening. A collision center owner informed me that it could not be repaired without installing a new door skin on it. The salesman had stated that it could be popped-out. It obviously happened at the factory as there were no obvious scratches or other indications of…

My mother-in-law was getting in our 2007 chevrolet tahoe. As she was closing the door the handle nicked her finger and cut her. After further investigation, we found that the handle had began to peel and had created a sharp edge. We put a piece of tape over it and have had it that way since. She had a 1" cut on her index finger, which we treated with alcohol and a band-aid. *tr
