The silver covering on the interior door handles of my 2007 yukon's handles are peeling and are very sharp at the seams. My entire family has cut ourselves several times since we have owned the vehicle.

Interior chrome plated door handles, plastic chrome splits open and cuts your hand.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon. Within the first week of purchasing the vehicle, the rear hatch light began illuminating. This caused the emergency lights to illuminate, the door ajar alarm to sound, and disabled all of the buttons on the remote and instrument panel. The vehicle had to be accessed manually. First, the computer codes were reset, but this did not correct the failure. The dealer stated that there was wiring failure and replaced the wiring; however, the failure continued. Finally, the entire hatch was replaced and there had been no further occurrences. On november 6, 2007, the stable track was not driving properly and the driver's seat made a crunching noise whenever it was moved. The dealer cleared the electronic codes again and damaged the interior of the vehicle. On december 26, 2007, the hatch area was leaking and created puddles of water in the rear of the vehicle. The dealer stated that the seal was leaking and it was replaced and apoxied. The vehicle has to go back to the dealer because the seal has loosened. The current mileage was 13,380 and failure mileage was 459.
Front passenger interior door handle pulled to open door)had the painted chrome finish peeling at the top seam of the handle. The peeling finish cut several passengers while opening the door. Cuts were similar to a paper cut but more severe.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds during sunny road conditions, the gauges on the instrument panel were not visible due to poor illumination. Also, the pillars on the driver side created blind spots on both sides of the vehicle. It was taken to a service dealer, who determined that they would research the problem to see if there was recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified.
The 2007 gmc yukon (& chevrolet tahoe) have a significant safety issue / problem. The instrument panel gauges are very difficult to read in daytime (sunny) conditions. Most of the time during daytime/sunny conditions you can not just glance at the instruments to read them. You have to divert your attention for 2 or more seconds to read even the speedometer (which is the easiest to read). All instruments have black faces with white markings which are legible day and night. The daytime visual recognition problem is caused by two conditions. 1) red pointers that do not contrast sufficiently with the black face, and 2) dash cowling shading/glare problems. The top left (oil pressure) and top right (voltmeter) gauges are almost impossible to read. The bottom right (coolant temp) is very difficult to read. The bottom left (fuel) is difficult to very difficult to read. The two large center gauges (tachometer and speedometer) are difficult to read. The time / attention required to read these gauges presents a safety hazard because you are forced to take your eyes off the road for far to long (or to keep repeating looks to check your speed / fuel status. I recently purchased a 2007 gmc yukon and made a road trip of 3000 miles. Two drivers had similar visual recognition problems during daylight hours. I gave up even trying to read the other gauges. If you wear sunglasses you have to lift them to try to read the gauges. There are some things you can do (have to do) to lessen the visual recognition problem. 1) turn on the lights (provides minimal dash illumination), 2) close the sunroof shade (reduces glare), and 3) place you hand above your eyes as a shield (reduces glare). I have talked to the gm dealer to see if they could increase illumination on the dash lighting. (that would still mean I would have to turn on the lights during the day.) bottom line - they can't do anything - they can't re-engineer gm's product.
