The dash cracked on the passenger side above the airbag. After researching I found that this is a common problem with these vehicle.
Driver and passenger interior door handle chrome peeling, slices fingers.
I was on r&r leave from the middle east from 26 oct 2011 thru 09 Nov. On the 2nd of November I attempted to open my driver side door and the pealing chrome on the door handle slit through my middle finger. The pealing is razor sharp and left a one inch cut in the center of my finger. I had to place tape over the door handle to prevent being cut again. Who can I cantact about this hazard. I am active duty army and I am out of the country quite a bit so if there is a recall on this I need to know. I am the first and only owner of my Tahoe.
Door handles keep breaking off.
This morning after a heavy rain last nnight, while taking the kids to school, I heard a water sloshing sound coming from the rear passenger side door. Got home and investigated the door- it was literally filled inside with water. Upon further investigation, I found that all doors had water in them! scary! I had to leave all 4 doors open for approx 20 min for water to stop draining out! my saftey concern here is if these doors are filled (and I'm not exaggerating when I say filled) with water, there must be a risk of electrical shock from the different electrical components inside the doors for windows and/or the power locks.
My husband and I purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe 8-16-11. I cut my left middle finger on the chrome driver side interior handle 8-17-11. After further investigation, we discovered all the handles on the vehicle are peeling and very sharp. We have a small child & I am very concerned that he also start cutting his hands when opening/closing the doors. I feel as though we spent too much money on the vehicle for the handles to be slicing our fingers open.
Chevy Tahoe 2007 ltz exterior left rear chrome door handle partially detached. Still functional, but loose and will require repair not covered under warranty. Have read that this defect is not uncommon and is completely unacceptable for a $50k car.
Chrome peeling off of driver interior door handle sliced finger of driver while actuating the door handle to exit the vehicle. Minor injury treated with out-patient care. Upon detailed inspection, both interior front door handles exhibit same characteristic of sharp, peeling chrome on the top of the handle. Chevrolet dealer advised that Chevrolet was aware of issue but offered no remedy to the cause.
Dashboard has spontaneously started to crack in several spots. Sharp edges may cause injury in the event of a crash.
The chrome plated driver side door handle is peeling. When the plating starts to peel the chrome is very sharpe and cuts like a razor. I have cut my fingers three seperate times. The dealership wants approx. $100 to replace the chrome plating. In other words, to replace a sticker. This is completely unacceptable and very hazardous.
The inside chrome door handle on our 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe is peeling and causing injury to those getting out of the car. Currently, the affected handle is isolated to the driver's side door.
Heavy oil consumption. The car says oil is low about every two weeks or less.
My 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe ltz has chrome door handles which are all comming loose. Two of them are so loose that they are about to break off. The other two look as if it is only a matter of time. When you try to use the handle thats loose you can get your fingers caught under the handle and smash them up if you aren't careful.
The dash has major cracking around the airbag and on top of the dash in the area of the steering wheel. The first incident occured in April 2010, had the dash replaced under warranty approximately sept/oct 2010. The second incident occurred in August 2012. Same cracks in dash around airbag. I can't help but wonder if these cracks compromise the airbag in any way. Or if the vehicle is involved in a collision will the dash pieces become airborne projectiles. Have spoken with gm and while they acknowledge that they have had issues with the dash cracking, they do not acknowledge a defect in the dash. A simple internet search provides several instances of these same cracks occuring in many 2007 Chevrolet Tahoes, avalanches, and 2007 GMC yukons. Yes, I could pay to have a new dash installed but it will be the same defective part that will crack again causing the same safety concerns.

Door handles. I has the vehicle for 12 months when the chrome on all four door handles started peeling. The chrome is sharp and causes cuts that have been deep.
My only complaint with the entire vehicle is the door handles, made of plastic. They have all broken off. This should not happen.
Peeling interior paint - two of the four doorhandles paint is peeling causing sharp and jagged edges resulting in cut fingers. Brakes - all brakes and rotors bad at 39,000 miles and had to be replaced. Way too early! now the brakes squeel all the time, are soft and had to be flushed 2 times within 6 months of each other. Windows - continuing issues with the windows screetching when going up and down. Attempted to fix three times and just keeps repeating. Is starting to scuff/scratch the glass and leave oil streaks. Was told this is normal. Rear liftgate (manual) - struts freeze every winter so that the tailgate does not go up all the way. Have hit head on this numerous times. Been replaced 3 times and counting.
I have a 2007 chevy Tahoe. Since I bought the car these are some of the issues I have had with the car- all within the first year - some issues are ongoing. Three of the four door handles are frayed and cause cuts. The center console was literally coming apart at the seams. I can hear the sound of wind very loudly with the windows up. Shortly after I bought the car - I returned to the service dept. At the dealer (moreno valley Chevrolet) advising them that the door locks are not properly operating with the key fob and that the sound of wind was/is very loud and the tires are making noise. Well , they replaced, reset, and whatever else to the door locks - and the electronic fob still did not (and does not) work. Even after three (or four) attempts to reslove this - I have to use the key, the fob does not work. The dvd player plays at will. At one of those visits - where I advised of excessive noise, the dealer replaced three of my tires and my dvd player - without my request. The service tech says - "OH, they hooked you up. " I asked and asked "why" they replaced these things and no one, including the service manager, had an answer. And still - the tires wear unevenly, are loud, and the ride is not smooth and the dvd player plays when it wants to. I took my car to jiffy lube for an oil change and the guy there said, "one day, your tires are going to fall off, this (what the name was-I can't recall) is broken. . . It's just a matter of time before it falls apart. " I took it to the dealer (moreno valley chevy) and they said "cannot duplicate. " never, ever another chevy.
Gas mileage on my 2007 chevy Tahoe is much worse than the advertised 21mpg. I am lucky if I get 13mpg on regular gasoline. Don't get me started on the e85 scam - less mpg and only $0. 30 cheaper than regular gasoline? the dealer scammed me into believing it was an apples to apples comparison of e85 and gas.
I leased a 2007 Tahoe in June 2006. After about 10k or 15k I began to hear alot of noise when turning left or right. I asked the Tahoe dealership to check it out and they stated it was not a problem. Months later the problem continued to get worse an louder. Same dealership states it not a problem. The clicking, squealing noise have gotten worse. Third time same dealership states there's nothing wrong. May 21, 2008, I go to a different dealership for a service and because all my friends say there has to be something wrong. I was told that it is a known problems with gm model, I. E. , Tahoe yukons suburbuns. The intermediate shaft that is installed wears out, and has to be replaced, in models dating back to 98 at least. He states I would have to pay for repair. I researched an found that hundreds of complaints and forums about the very problem but there is no recall about. They have been using the same shaft for years and now have improved part that consumers have to pay for out of their pockets. How can they knowlingly place bad parts in vehicles and not be responsible for repairing. I was told that unless they had a new for the intermediate shaft it would have to be replaced every 10k miles.
At 3700 miles noticed front tires were feathering. After visiting dealer and questioning they asked if I had tires rotated? I explained the mileage on the vehicle was too low so they suggested rotating and coming back. Also, window trim on 2 rear windows coming off since first day of ownership, recently been told this is a recall and a known problem.
My mother-in-law was getting in our 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. As she was closing the door the handle nicked her finger and cut her. After further investigation, we found that the handle had began to peel and had created a sharp edge. We put a piece of tape over it and have had it that way since. She had a 1" cut on her index finger, which we treated with alcohol and a band-aid.
