Chrome on the interior door handles peels and gets very sharp. Had replaced in either July or August of 08 under warranty. Its now February and already they are starting to peel again. Exterior moldings on the windows were popping up everytime I rolled up/down the windows or at higher speeds, they were also replaced.
My wife and I have been victims of the faulty chrome plating peeling from the interior door release handles,causing a razor type cut to tips of our fingers therefore causing loss of blood. The interior door release handles have been replaced 3 times within the last 10 months resulting in failure soon after. The last incident happened 6/28/2008 when I exited the vehicle which cut my finger. There is no visual warning when the chrome plating seam fails, but to receive the razor 'like' cut to the finger which is very painful. Our level of concern for the safety of our children and family members that have blood ailments such has diabetes type ii,enema, is of great concern. I have been subjected to having to wrap tape on the existing handles that have already been replaced to prevent what could cause permanent bodily injury which I feel is totally unacceptable. If further injuries result in the use of this vehicle, I am requesting the assistance of your organization for a permanent resolution to this issue. Your concern will be greatly appreciated from my family and myself.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Whenever the contact would exit the vehicle, he would notice that the power door locks would suddenly lock without warning.

The failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 200 and the current mileage was 36,000.
My wife opened the passenger door of our Tahoe and the peeling chrome cut her finger.
