I just read that the federal safety agency 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 was no recall and that there was nothing they could do - pretty typical of a dealership I find. So I've just been dealing with it; that and nasty cuts on my fingers. I finally took a razor and shaved the pieces down, but now the white plastic of the handle is exposed. It looks horrible.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. He stated when entering his vehicle he noticed that his vehicle had been vandalized and the rear seats where missing. A police report was filed. The vehicle was inspected by an insurance adjuster who determined that there is no security plate behind the drivers side door handle which will prevent someone from braking the door handle and getting into the vehicle. He contacted the manufacturer and was informed that there where no current recalls on the vehicle so no compensation would be offered. He was informed by the repair shop that this is a common problem with the vehicle door handle failing with the year make and model. The vehicles where vandalized and the contact feels that the manufacturer should have the plates installed in the vehicles to prevent theft. The failure mileage was 12,805 and the current mileage was 13,000. Bl
Chrome on the interior door handles peels and gets very sharp. Had replaced in either july or august of 08 under warranty. Its now february and already they are starting to peel again. Exterior moldings on the windows were popping up everytime I rolled up/down the windows or at higher speeds, they were also replaced.
My wife and I have been victims of the faulty chrome plating peeling from the interior door release handles,causing a razor type cut to tips of our fingers therefore causing loss of blood. The interior door release handles have been replaced 3 times within the last 10 months resulting in failure soon after. The last incident happened 6/28/2008 when I exited the vehicle which cut my finger. There is no visual warning when the chrome plating seam fails, but to receive the razor 'like' cut to the finger which is very painful. Our level of concern for the safety of our children and family members that have blood ailments such has diabetes type ii,enema, is of great concern. I have been subjected to having to wrap tape on the existing handles that have already been replaced to prevent what could cause permanent bodily injury which I feel is totally unacceptable. If further injuries result in the use of this vehicle, I am requesting the assistance of your organization for a permanent resolution to this issue. Your concern will be greatly appreciated from my family and myself.
While parked at a restaurant my tahoe was broke into. The theft was done with a small flat head screwdriver under the key lock in the seal between the handle and the door. I couldn't even tell. The police showed me where to look and said it was very common. I took it to two dealerships and a body shop. One dealer and the body shop said that this was very common and the previous year model had the same issue. The alarm doesn't go off because the screwdriver is sensed as a key. Gm customer service filed a complaint by me and closed it in the same phone call. They said to take it up with my insurance company. It should not be that easy to break into. It is going to cost $700 to replace the handle and paint the door and I must replace the GPS unit that was stolen and a check to my bank was also taken.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the electric rear liftgate opens while driving 50 MPH. The failure also occurs while the vehicle is parked. The liftgate opens just enough so that all of the doors continuously lock and unlock and the interior lights illuminate. After the first failure, the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they attempted to repair it without changing any parts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on four occasions. The contact is being forced to hire an attorney to resolve this issue. She stated that chevrolet is not keeping their word and the failure is a safety hazard for her and her children. The current mileage is 11,000 and failure mileage was 3,500.
Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall HVAC, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving.
