“I have a 2007 chevy Tahoe and am experiencing the interior door handle problem that so many others have. The chrome-like plating is peeling and is razor sharp. The passenger side cut my husband's finger. He said it was very painful and it bled for a while - even started again a day later. The driver's side is doing the same thing, but I have not cut myself - yet.”
NHTSA complaint #10368167, filed 2010-11, 113,010 miles“I currently own a 2007 chevy Tahoe. The chrome on the passenger door handle is peeling. I have cut myself several times when attempting to open or close the door. Short term solution was to put tape on the handle or a band aid. I already have 6 cuts (just like paper cuts) it happens frequently. Please investigate.”
