Door problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Suburban

Two problems related to door have been reported for the 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Door problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2011

Both driver side and front passenger side chrome plating on door handles peeling off. My finger has been cut multiple times by the peeling "chrome". The cut is similar to severe paper cut. My husband has also cut fingers on the door handles. I have two very small children and worry about them cutting their fingers on it.

2 Door problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2010

Passenger's side handle of our 08 Suburban kept cutting people's hands on exit. Finally had dealer replace for $120+. Now, about a month later, my side (driver) is doing the same thing. This is obviously a quality/design defect and I don't feel I should have to pay for these repairs when I've found so many online with the same problem. Currently I'm typing this with a sliced index finger that hurts like sin. Thanks for any help.
