What owners say
Interior door handle chrome flaked and cut open hand causing bleeding.update 9/15/15*cw updated 11/06/2017
Left rear door handle failed. Door was not usable from outside. Replaced by gmc dealer with part # 1 22738725 for $67.27. Body shop reported this was a common failure on this model due to door design using plastic rather than medal to secure the door handle to the body.
Left front door handle failed. Door was not usable from outside. Replaced by gmc dealer with part # 22738721 (s) handle for $78.33. Body shop reported this was a common failure on this model due to door design using plastic rather than medal to secure the door handle to the body.
Exterior door handles break out of all four door panels.
Both rear door handles of my yukon denali are loose from the door. It is just a matter of time before they fall off and my kids are stuck in the back. I called the dealership and he said that this is a common issue and he has fixed this problem before. However since it is not a safety issue there is not a bulletin. I think having easy and safe access to our kids is pretty important, but since the door were so poorly made and engineered that is not the true issue. I have gone online to see if there was a recall on this issue and to my surprise there is a you tube video on how to fix this common issue and there are blogs and bulletins that this is common. If this is truly common and defective, how come gm is not mandated to address and fix this matter? This is unfair that I need to take money out from my pocket to fix something that was designed poorly. I have had plenty of vehicles and this has never happened to me before and let me remind you this is now my 2nd door in a matter of weeks! Please help!
Chrome peeling of on interior door handles that creates sharp edges that cut fingers. Really have to be careful in order to not cut fingers when exiting auto.
Chrome plating on interior door opening handles peels off creating sharp edges that cut occupants fingers while trying to exit vehicle. This is occurring on interior door handles.
Door handle on the driver's door separated from the outside door handle/latch assembly. The entire assembly for both driver's side doors were separating from the vehicle doors. When the driver's door handle completely came off the vehicle it could be reinserted, however it was not connected to the latch to function as a means to enter the vehicle. Pulling on the handle to open the door was not functional. The door handles will first begin to separate from the door and then eventually the handle/latch functionality is lost. I had to pay the gmc dealership $401.44 to replace the entire outside handle assemblies for both of the driver's side doors.
Ea10004 - my wife cut her hand on the door handle of our 2007 yukon denali xl. The plastic on the handle came off and created a sharp surface on the door handle.
The chrome is peeling off the interior passenger side door handle on my 2007 gmc yukon denali xl. Two different passengers have had their fingers sliced open. Also, the back drivers side door hung the front door when it was being opened and bent front door.
Have same problem regarding interior door handles - chrome treatment begins to peel and peeling chrome is very sharp resulting in cuts to fingers and hands. Poor chroming process resulting in product failure. Handles need to be replaced.
