The outside door handles on the driver's side and passenger's side front both broke off. Also, the chrome on the inside driver's and passenger's front is cracking off the door handles and i sliced my left hand pretty badly. Considering this is a $55,000+ vehicle and there appears to be a lot of complaints about the same thing, there should be some sort of recall. *tr

I went to pull on the exterior door handle on the driver's side and the whole door handle separated from the body of the car! This is the second time this has happened to us. The first time it happened the car was under warranty so it didn't cost us anything to get it fixed. This time however it is not so i'm sure we will be out a nice chunk of change to get it fixed. Poor quality considering this is a $50k+…

I purchased a 2007 chevrolet tahoe, 2wd, lt1 on 02/20/2013. I immediately noticed that the chrome on the interior door handles was flaking off. I received a cut to my hand when opening one of the interior doors. Both the driver and passenger interior door handles are coming apart. I have read several complaints online with this model and it appears that no one has done anything about it. There is also a crack in the…

Door handles, exterior, passenger side. Product design or manufacturing failure... Or both. Both door handles have failed. First, the rear handle became disconnected inside the door allowing the entire handle assembly to rotate away from the body of the car, causing the handle to become inoperable. Second, the front passenger exterior handle, operable portion, came off completely, rendering it impossible to enter…

The dash has cracked behind the passenger side air bag for no apparent reason. I am afraid if the bag deploys it will throw the piece as a projectile and hit the passenger. Many complaints on the internet, gm is selectively assisting in repair. I was informed they would not help me because i have an aftermarket radio and alarm, neither of which is anywhere near the passenger side. *tr

2 of the 4 door handles have broken off, they are chrome and expensive to repair. It becomes a safety issue when you can't afford to replace them and children's fingers go between the handle and body of the car. This is an issue that many owners have experienced with this specific automobile. *tr

While i was getting my interior handles repaired since they have cracked, i was made aware that one of my door handles was falling off. The interior handles are covered under a recall but not the exterior handle. I was told by the dealer that it happens all the time on tahoes and a quick "google" search confirmed the issue. This problem should also be covered under a recall. I had to pay $160 to repair the handle.…
