I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 05/23/2013 AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I LOST POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THE TOW TRUCK JUMPED ME AND IT STARTED JUST FINE SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. THEN I TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD TURN ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. TOW TRUCK CAME AGAIN TO JUMP ME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES RIGHT FROM...

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.

MY CHILD ATTEMPTED TO OPEN REAR DOOR ON MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. ONE SIDE OF THE HANDLE BROKE, THUS PULLING ONE SIDE AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND PINCHING HER HAND SOMEHOW! THIS IS THE 2ND HANDLE TO BREAK ON THIS VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY WENT TO OPEN MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND IT BROKE RIGHT OFF!

SEE FOLLOWING LINK HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/TRFOG7J2EOKH998G2 I HOPE WE CAN SEE A RECALL OUT OF THIS! *TR

OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE HAS HAD TO HAVE 2 DOOR HANDLES REPLACED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HANDLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

THESE INCIDENTS BOTH OCCURRED WHEN THE PERSON ENTERING THE VEHICLE TRIED TO PULL ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ONE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO MY WIFE OPENING THE DOOR AND THE OTHER OCCURRED WHEN A 14 YEAR OLD TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR. WE HAVE HAD IT REPLACED ONCE AND NOW HAVE TO DO THE SAME AGAIN. SINCE THIS IS A $400 EXPENDITURE WITH PARTS AND SERVICE EACH TIME. THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OURSELVES. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE CHARGING $172 PER HANDLE FOR THE REPAIRS. VEHICLE IS A 2007 WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS, THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEGUN TO COME LOOSE AND PULL OFF THE VEHICLE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE PIECE IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND SNAPS INTO PLACE AND THUS HAS BECOME LOOSE. ALL 4 OF MY DOORS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT GM IS NOT COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY (I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL) BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A "TRIM" PIECE FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I WON'T BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AND HOPE THEY FAIL NEXT TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT AND I WOULD LIKE A RETURN OF MY PORTION OF TAXES GIVEN TO THEM FOR THEIR IGNORANCE, LACK OF QUALITY AND LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM. *TR
