Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe STRUCTURE

Dash is brittle and cracked around airbag, might cause a price to be broke off and projected into my wife or kids face causing death. *tr

The dash is cracked in my tahoe which gives me every reason to believe that if i were in a collision the dash would break apart and send projectiles into me or my family. this is a well known issue with gmt900 series vehicles and gm will do nothing!!! *tr

The exterior door handles are coming loose. both the driver and passenger front door handles. they still open the door but i am afraid they will break off completely in the near future. *tr

Yes i am writing to say that we have a 2007 chevy tahoe ltz and the door handles are falling off. i am not understanding why they are coming off like this. i don't have the money to keep putting out for the same problem.. i am thinking that a recall should be put forward towards this problem. because i see that i am not the only one with problems.... thanks in advance *tr

I noticed a couple of large cracks in the dash after purchase. this vehicle is prone to dash cracks due to faulty plastic (online research). i'm concerned there may be a safety hazard with the crack around the airbag. *tr

My tahoe has many cracks in the dashboard that is showing electrical components. the cracks been there for a while and i take really good car of my car. i am afraid if the airbag deploys flying objects could injure me more. i just noticed that it's a common problem for chevy tahoes. please help us tahoe owners. thank you! *tr

Dashboard has cracked. 2 large cracks go across dash. *tr

My dashboard cracked and i'm concerned about my airbags. i guess a lot of the chevy tahoes have had issues with the dashboard cracking. *tr

I went to pull on the exterior door handle on the driver's side and the whole door handle separated from the body of the car! this is the second time this has happened to us. the first time it happened the car was under warranty so it didn't cost us anything to get it fixed. this time however it is not so i'm sure we will be out a nice chunk of change to get it fixed. poor quality considering this is a $50k+ vehicle! gm needs to issue a recall on the exterior door handles. *tr

Dash board cracked driver side. *tr

I got out of my car one night everything was fine got back in it the next morning to a huge crack in the dash. two weeks later there is another crack in the dash on the other side above the airbags. and the steering wheel is peeling. *tr

I purchased a 2007 chevrolet tahoe, 2wd, lt1 on 02/20/2013. i immediately noticed that the chrome on the interior door handles was flaking off. i received a cut to my hand when opening one of the interior doors. both the driver and passenger interior door handles are coming apart. i have read several complaints online with this model and it appears that no one has done anything about it. there is also a crack in the dash between the defrost vent and the airbag on the passenger side. a search of the internet reveals several complaints from hundreds of consumers who have reported these same flaws with this same model. also, the trim on the steering wheel and radio buttons are peeling off. the 2007 chevrolet tahoe seems to be plagued with these three part failures and someone needs to look into this. a cut may not seem severe, until the cut doesn't heal properly, leaves permanent scaring and possibly the added threat of infection. i have taken this vehicle to my local chevrolet dealer who stated that these issues were not covered by any warranty or recall. i am interested in a class action lawsuit to correct these flaws. this is the 3rd tahoe i have owned and considered myself a loyal tahoe owner. this is the only model year that i have ever had an issue with. i have photographs showing the flaws and associated vehicle mileage. *tr

There is a crack on my dash left of driver hump and one in front of the passenger airbag. i have found that almost all people have had this happen in their chevrolet tahoes and silverados and mine just happened to happen after warranty. i need this fixed. *tr

Cracked dash.

Door handles, exterior, passenger side. product design or manufacturing failure... or both. both door handles have failed. first, the rear handle became disconnected inside the door allowing the entire handle assembly to rotate away from the body of the car, causing the handle to become inoperable. second, the front passenger exterior handle, operable portion, came off completely, rendering it impossible to enter the front passenger compartment from the exterior. it is clear from multiple internet posts this is a product design and/or manufacturing failure and should be covered by the manufacturer as a recall. the manufacturer is clearly aware of this issue and the peeling chrome layer that causes personal injury. chevrolet and its dealers are profiting from this defect at the expense of consumers. recall should be ordered! and consumers who have paid for the repair should be reimbursed 100%. *tr

First owner of this vehicle. noticing substantial cracks in the plastic dashboard including near the passenger air bag site. could lead to possible tearing of airbag or plastic being thrown towards passengers if airbag were to deploy. also have an issue with chrome peeling from the exterior door handles causing cuts to the hands when opening the door. vehicle has not been abused in any way or used as a work truck. has also been garage kept. *tr

The molded plastic on the dashboard on the drivers side has an 8" crack that begins where the dash meets the window area and extends up towards the driver and extends up the left side of the rounded portion of the dash that houses the speedometer and other instrumentation. the truck is garaged and i use a window sun screen when parked outside. upon much research there seems to be a known issue with 2007 tahoe specifically, dealer confirmed, with dashboard cracking in the exact location i identified above as well as on the right side by the airbag. i have a concern that the plastic is defective in this year and model and although it is initially thought of as cosmetic (still no excuse), most importantly i fear that the compromised dash will compromise the integrity of the air bag deployment should it be needed. this needs to be reported to chevy which i have done and a recall must be demanded to mitigate any air bad deployment concerns as well as to resolve the terrible cosmetic defect. thank you. *tr

Gm has a safety issue with dashboards cracking near where the airbag deploys on the passenger side of the vehicles. there is also cracking on the left side of the instrument pod. all cracks are in identical areas of these same model years and newer. i have two vehicles (2007 tahoe and 2007 avalanche with the same cracks and will file two complaints). *tr updated 01/29/14

Upon purchasing my 2007 tahoe used i noticed 2 cracks on dashboard. the one on the passenger side is cracked at corner of airbag which is concerning due to an airbag deployment shards of plastic could be turn ed into projectiles. noticed there are many, many of the same vehicles with identical cracks and locations of them. thanks *tr

Dashboard has cracked on the passenger side corner above the airbag. dash has not been subjected to stress / pressure. it appears to be a manufacturer defect as this has happened to many individuals online. i fear that this crack will expand and can potentially affect the passenger airbag itself. as this vehicle is a '07 model, it should not crack after less than 5 years normal wear and tear. *tr

Me and my daughter have been cut on our hands because both the passenger and drivers side interior chrome handle is peeling off. i had to put electrical tape on it, since both are as sharp as a razor. *tr

The dashboard cracked 4 inches on driver side hump next to airbag. *tr

Noticed a crack on the dash board right above the gauge cluster. have a family member with the same vehicle and saw that their vehicles dash was full of cracks and decided to research the issue. i found blogs and videos through out the internet of people all around with the same problem. my main concern is that i have also found that the next crack in the dash i will see will be on the corner of the dash at the passenger air bag. i'm afraid this could affect the proper deployment of the air bag. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. the contact stated that she noticed the dashboard cracking near the air bag. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing and they advised her that she needed a new dashboard. the manufacturer was later contacted and stated they were aware of the failure but there were no recalls on that component. the failure mileage was approximately 57,000. the current mileage was approximately 59,000. the vin was unavailable.

Rear driverside exterior door handle broke. have read hundreds of complaints on chevy blogs....this needs to be a recall for gm-handles brake regularly, very costly to fix, and for most of us outside of warranty. please help the consumers. *tr

This is the second time that the dashboard cracked. i boought the tahoe in 04/13/2010 and had 25,967 miles in june 7, 2011 after paying $350.00 for labor the dealer replaced the dashboard and now a year and four months it is cracked again and i spoke with a services person at the dealer and they told me it is been a year and there is not coverage for. i'm very upset i just can't believe that it only lasted a year so if i spent my money fixing this again how long will it take till it brakes again. *tr

I own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. all four door handles broke off from the vehicle. the manufacturer was contacted and they stated that the vehicle was not under warranty. the vehicle was not taken to an authorized dealer to have the failure diagnosed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 102,000. *tr

Two cracks located on the dash. one is located on the left hand side of the driver side "hump" and the other is located on the left hand side of the passenger side airbag and connects from the airbag to the vent. i am concerned that these will effect airbag deployment if a crash occurs. i have read multiple complaints of the same nature on the 2007 chevrolet tahoes. *tr

Driver side interior door handle chrome is peeling off and cut my finger. *tr

The driver information computer screen and prnd321 lights have failed. the dashboard inside has cracked in two areas. *tr

The dash has cracked behind the passenger side air bag for no apparent reason. i am afraid if the bag deploys it will throw the piece as a projectile and hit the passenger. many complaints on the internet, gm is selectively assisting in repair. i was informed they would not help me because i have an aftermarket radio and alarm, neither of which is anywhere near the passenger side. *tr

2 of the 4 door handles have broken off, they are chrome and expensive to repair. it becomes a safety issue when you can't afford to replace them and children's fingers go between the handle and body of the car. this is an issue that many owners have experienced with this specific automobile. *tr

Dashboard is cracked on both driver and passenger side near airbags. my fear is that due to that the airbags wont function properly. *tr

Dash cracked on left side of steering wheel hump. a few months later the dash cracked on the upper left side of passenger air bag. *tr

I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and the dash is cracked from one end to the other and is starting to crack on the side by the radio. i feel the whole dash can fall in, but there has been no recall. i have a friend who has the same year tahoe and it is an ltz and he is having the same problem. *tr

Dash has multiple cracks around the airbag on the passenger side and one crack in dash above the instrument cluster. *tr

The front drivers door handle snapped off, then the drivers side passenger snapped off about a month later. i paid to have them fixed at the dealership and now the 3rd door handle snapped off. the last one was the rear passenger side. *tr

Dashboard cracks with sharp edges around airbag causing noisy airbag area vibration and separation form dashboard, it is scary thing to have when my wife or one of the kids in the vehicle with me. *tr

Dash is extremely cracked in three plates including by airbag this is a safety issue. *tr

Upon inspection of the dashboard it has cracked both above the steering wheel on the left side and at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side. i am concerned that if this cracks any worse the airbag may deploy and injure a passenger or it may cause the steering column to malfunction if the dashboard falls. chevy should be recalling this so that no one is injured. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. the contact stated that the chrome material on the front passenger's side door handle was peeling. as a result, the contact sustained a laceration to the right hand. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000. *tr

Sliced finger for the second time. after the first time i called the dealer he said he would call me back and never did. there needs to be a recall. *tr

The chevrolet tahoe and yukon both have defects in the dashboard on the passenger side that houses the airbag. i believe this to be a safety factor that gmc is aware of. after writing to customer relations regarding my dashboard, they sent me to the dealer to have it replaced even though my car was out of warranty. in less than 3 months, the new dashboard cracked in the same location. i respectfully request that for the safety of all owners of these vehicles that gmc become liable for repairs. please see the following links: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/vehiclecomplaint/index.xhtml http://repairpal.com/the-upper-dash-may-crack-143. *tr

While i was getting my interior handles repaired since they have cracked, i was made aware that one of my door handles was falling off. the interior handles are covered under a recall but not the exterior handle. i was told by the dealer that it happens all the time on tahoes and a quick "google" search confirmed the issue. this problem should also be covered under a recall. i had to pay $160 to repair the handle. *tr
