Door Problems of Chevrolet Suburban

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the vehicle's front doors were equipped with a plastic part on the inside of the door, which assisted with the doors being able to securely close. The contact stated that the part number for the driver side was 84053434 and 84053436 for the passenger side. The parts detached from the vehicle, causing the doors not to close properly and remain closed. The contact called autonation Chevrolet amarillo (2200 I-40 east, amarillo, TX 79103; 806-553-5681) where it was diagnosed that the door handles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and stated that due to the vehicle exceeding the warranty mileage, they were unable to provide a free repair. The manufacturer opened case number: 8/339/520-5303. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

The door handles have cut three members of my family because the metal is peeling off of the plastic. Seat belts are falling apart and at least 3 of them do not latch at all. This is very dangerous. There definitely should be a recall especially for the seat belts. Air bag light is constantly on and the dealer of course wants to "fix" it and states that if there is a crash that it may not work properly. . . . . . . . . This after I had the top half of the engine rebuilt due to oil consumption problem. Then there is the tire pressure monitor which apparently has issues after having new tires put on my car. Nothing but problems with this hunk of junk. Will never buy another chevy vehicle.

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.

On April 13, 2011 I cut me finger on the inside door handle trying to open my 2007 chevy Suburban. The metal part seemed to have peeled up and I cut my finger on it.

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.

The chrome on front passenger interior door handle is peeling off, creating a sharp edge that I have cut myself on when opening the door. Other passengers have cut themselves on it as well.

Cut finger on door of 2007 Suburban due to failure of plastic chrome on interior driver door handle. Other handles in car are also failing. Reported to dealer and they reported numerous complaints and failures as well as other cut hands and fingers which should indicate a design flaw.

Chrome coating on interior door handles peeled and presented a sharp edge that caused several minor cuts to fingers on various dates.

Chrome on door handles razor sharp edges and cut fingers and hands!.

In July 2006 my rear passenger window started to not work all the time. The window would stick part way up, or down. The door hinges also started to squeak really bad. On one day while traveling with 4 young children in the back a child had opened the window about three inches, it then stuck. When we parked he tried to open the back door, the door stuck at about six inches open. An adult passenger pulled the door open. The window exploded in all directions spraying glass on all the children and the adult. The child had dozens of small cuts on his legs and arms. I had the window repaired , but the motor worked just fine at the body shop. On September 10th the same thing happened again. This time it was my 12 year old son who opened the sticky door. (the window was up this time) the window exploded again. He was cut all over his arms and the flying glass took paint off the door. I have the car at the body shop again and they will try and find the problem. The nearest Chevrolet dealer is 45 miles away, when I contacted them they were unaware of any problems with windows or door hinges on the Suburban. Since the car has not been in a wreck and has had medium usage this problem is very scary. These cars are thought of as reliable and safe family cars, built "chevy tough". Doors and windows should out last everything on the car!!!. Please don't let any more children get hurt!!!.

While driving vehicle the right rear passenger door opened. Newborn was in this location and could have been ejected from vehicle. The door would not close after this. Roadside assistance was called to unjam the door and ensure that the door could be closed. Was forced to drive the vehicle with the door open to get off the main road.

While driving about any mph could hear wind coming from doors, and there was no warning signal on dashboard that showed that doors opened. Consumer was concerned about children leaning against doors.

Inside door handle was defective, and handle fell off. Dealership was aware of problem.

Driver's side outside door handle broke.

The power door locks unlock by themselves when on the road or freeway and stay inoperable, keyless entry system also randomly sets itself off and causes the door locks to unlock.

When warming vehicle doors will lock automatically by themselves. When niside of vehicle doors will lock, and its hard to get them unlocked. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer repaired locks, but problem still exists. Please add VIN.

Every time consumer hits a bump driver's side door rattles, as if it is coming off the hinges. Consumer is afraid some day this door will fly open and fall out. Dealer says this is something consumer will have to live with because there is nothing they can do.

Wind is coming through drain holds into the inside of vehicle because there are no vent holes in the vehicle which is causing exhaust to get inside of vehicle. Dealer claims it's a normal characteristic of vehicle.

Left rear cargo door of Chevrolet Suburban never opened quite right. You had to push in on the door, pull the latch, and then open it. Over time it has become extremely difficult to open. Tip top Chevrolet in fairbanks, ak, won't fix it. I believe it is a factory defect. Thank you for listening.

Side door is not locking/closing.

There is no warning (either a visual warning or an audio warning) that tells the driver when one of the doors are not closed properly. The Chevrolet 1-800 number people say that the Suburban should have such a 'door ajar' warning & refer me to the local chevy dealership to have this corrected. The local Chevrolet dealership says that this is not an included feature in the new 2001 Suburbans. I find this hard to believe, especially since a not properly closed door in a family vehicle such as a Suburban could very easily result in the door opeing at high speeds or around a tight corner or in a accident with the end result being a child being thrown from the car. I personally think that this 'door ajar' feature (pretty standard now on all cars for many years) may have accidentally been left off many Suburbans or was overlooked in the design of the Suburbans, both of which should result in gm recalling the affected cars to put in the 'door ajar' warning. Lastly, this may also affect the gmx yukon & yukon xl vehicles as they are identical cousins to the Chevrolet Suburbans. Fyi - I originally notified chevy & the dealer about this starting late sept '01 & have been frustrated to date on getting any straight answer and/or correction to my Suburban.

Company failed to install door ajar light for all four passenger doors, unable to tell if side doors are ajar posing a safety risk as my son almost fell out of car.
