I have replaced 3 outside door handles on my 2007 Yukon denali due to breakage. Drivers side and rear driverside passenger within the past three weeks. The first one broke a couple of years ago and replaced under warranty. The two others were replaced at my expense. Besides the expense, $200 each event,the inconvenience of taking time out of my schedule to have them replaced is frustrating.

I currently own a 2007 GMC Yukon denali and have two failures to report, first, the interior door handle on the drivers side which is chrome is starting to flake off and has several sharp edges causing several cuts to myself and my wives hands.

The chrome metal covering the inside door handles of my Yukon has cracked and is separating from the handles. The sharp chrome metal injured my wife by slicing her finger as she exited the vehicle.

2007 GMC Yukon. Interior door handles. Chrome plating has separated from the top where handle is grabbed. Handles are razor sharp and care is needed when opening door otherwise injury can and has occurred.
Door handle on the driver's door separated from the outside door handle/latch assembly. The entire assembly for both driver's side doors were separating from the vehicle doors. When the driver's door handle completely came off the vehicle it could be reinserted, however it was not connected to the latch to function as a means to enter the vehicle. Pulling on the handle to open the door was not functional. The door handles will first begin to separate from the door and then eventually the handle/latch functionality is lost. I had to pay the GMC dealership $401. 44 to replace the entire outside handle assemblies for both of the driver's side doors.
Chrome peeling of on interior door handles that creates sharp edges that cut fingers. Really have to be careful in order to not cut fingers when exiting auto.

We own a 2007 GMC Yukon denali. My 8 year old son's thumb on his right had was trapped in the hinge on the rear passenger door, as he was exiting the vehicle. While he was exiting the front passenger seat, as my other children opened of the rear passenger door his thumb was nearly completely severed by the hinge. The hinge is completely exposed, there is no safety mechanism, cover, or preventive feature. The hinge combined with the weight of the door, moves the hinge opening from roughly and inch opening to a zero clearance area. The hinges cross over top of each other with the two edge planes of each part acting similar to a bolt cutter or tree limb cutter. One of the edge planes has a relief cut which acts as a trap as very little movement of the door eliminates the option of pulling back a finger or small hand. If you were to sit in the front passenger seat, open door and exit as one normally would, simply dropping your arm straight down puts your hand(fingers) at risk. The only reason his thumb was not severed is because the children exiting the car stopped opening the door and closed it so he could take his thumb out. Had the door opened all the way his thumb would have been lost. As it remains we spent several hours in an emergency room, he had to have 4 stitches and an xray. Because it was on the joint no bones where broken. A terrible accident that very easily could have been prevented.
2007 denali with 22,000 miles had a liftgate failure. After a $78. 00 diagnosis at local dealer the repair estimate was $450. 00. According to gm customer service personnel the repair is not under warranty, and further more because we purchased it used it won't be eligible for any assistance from gm either. While evaluating problem I noticed there is no egress possible from inside while problem exists. This seems like a very dangerous condition because an emergency that disables typical egress through doors would leave the rear liftgate as only choice to escape from fire or water for instance.
