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.

Sliced finger for the second time. After the first time I called the dealer he said he would call me back and never did. There needs to be a recall.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states several issues with vehicle and request information on recalls, service bulletins, warranties or lemon law *tgw the consumer stated the cruise control down shifted to 2nd while driving at highway speeds and on hills, the starter would hang, there was a noise coming from the AC compressor. The transmission was replaced. However, it continued to hesitate after the vehicle was started, as well as a vibration. There was a clicking noise coming from the differential, the idle needle would rise, while at a stop, the battery drained, the engine stalled, the dash was cracked, there was a problem with the suspension, the tire pressure monitoring system was repaired three times, the passenger side mirror was inoperable, the weather strip had come off the vehicle and there was a clicking noise coming from the u-joint.
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.
Door handles are peeling chrome covering off of inside door handles causing a person pulling on the handle to exit vehicle to cut their fingers on the sharp edge of the chrome.
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.
There is a crack at the passenger side airbag that appears to be unsafe in head on collision. If you reference chevrolet forums-tahoe website you will see 45 pages of failures and gm is very selective on whom they will replace or deny.
Driver and passenger interior door handle chrome peeling, slices fingers.
The dash cracked on the passenger side above the airbag. After researching I found that this is a common problem with these vehicle.

My only complaint with the entire vehicle is the door handles, made of plastic. They have all broken off. This should not happen.

The dealer was contacted and they advised that the vehicle warranty was expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
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.
I was on r&r leave from the middle east from 26 oct 2011 thru 09 nov. On the 2nd of november I attempted to open my driver side door and the pealing chrome on the door handle slit through my middle finger. The pealing is razor sharp and left a one inch cut in the center of my finger. I had to place tape over the door handle to prevent being cut again. Who can I contact about this hazard. I am active duty army and I am out of the country quite a bit so if there is a recall on this I need to know. I am the first and only owner of my tahoe.

The exterior door handles come off.
2007 chevy tahoe ltz 3 out of 4 exterior door handles on outside are broke. Not only is it aggravating but also safety issue if child's fingers get stuck or if there is emergency or accident and someone is trying to get in to assist you. I have read several complaints of the same thing online.
Exterior door handle broke off when trying to open the front passenger door. This is the third such failure of a door handle on this vehicle.
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe lt was poorly made. The inside door handle is chipping and it sliced my two fingers open this morning. I think it should be recalled! Also my door panel on the outside has been chipping because it is plastic. Come on the vehicles are expensive! Use better products gm! I will never by another gm and I don't believe I should have to pay to fix there cheap decisions for this car.
Door handles keep breaking off .
I was at a stop light, and the problem happened unexpectedly when I pressed on the gas when the light turned green. My car moved forward just slightly, jerked hard to a complete stop, and it wouldn't drive anymore. I was able to get pushed to the side in neutral, but needed a tow to the dealer. The only working gears were r, 3, 2, and 1. Bringing it into the dealer, they confirmed there was a problem with the transmission. I had done some research when this happened and noticed that a lot of people had the same problem, all in the same type of scenario where they were at a complete stop. Second issue, not nearly as major is the stabilitrak. The light goes on and off constantly, pretty much from the first year I've had the car. And lastly, the interior chrome door handles have all peeled off and cut me and my passengers several times. The exterior door handles have come loose, the fuel pocket is completely broken, and after a heavy rain, water gets trapped inside the shell of the back door and sloshes around while I'm driving. I have to remove the bottom lining of the door for the trapped water to be released.
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 defect I have learned this is not an uncommon incident! See following link http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-tahoe/trfog7j2eokh998g2 I hope we can see a recall out of this!
My husband and I purchased a 2007 chevrolet tahoe 8-16-11. I cut my left middle finger on the chrome driver side interior handle 8-17-11. After further investigation, we discovered all the handles on the vehicle are peeling and very sharp. We have a small child & I am very concerned that he will also start cutting his hands when opening/closing the doors. I feel as though we spent too much money on the vehicle for the handles to be slicing our fingers open.
Exterior door handle on my 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz practically broke off in my hand when opening the door. Major safety hazard that handles break apart and entry into the car could be a problem should their be an emergency or accident.
The door handle detaches from the door! I have had this happen 3 times now! It costs $170 to repair and it continues to happen. I believe this is a flaw with the vehicle which should be repaired at no cost by the manufacturer.
2007 chevy tahoe with chrome exterior door handles. Passenger side handle broke off. Has significant opportunity to pinch fingers. Driver's side door handle also loose. Was informed this is a common occurrence with this vehicle. If this is a known issue, it needs to be resolved!
I am writing to advise a complaint regarding our 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz door handles. In april 2011, the outside drivers side door handle came partially unattached from the body of the vehicle. 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 year old daughter pinched her finger in the unattached space while attempting to open the door. I have taken our vehicle to the dealer and they are charging $172 per handle for the repairs. Vehicle is a 2007 with only 25,000 miles.
2007 chevrolet tahoe has faulty chrome door handles owned the SUV for a little over a year. All 4 have been replaced but with the same faulty handles. Recently the drivers handle broke again. This time my husband had to tie and hold the door closed to get to the dealership they wanted us to pay for the last 2 b/c it's out of warranty. They said it's a one time comp. The next time we will have to pay. Dealership says they have nothing but problems with the chrome handles. They need to be recalled and replaced with a new design.
