A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

2007 TAHOE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. PEELING PLASTIC CHROME. CUT FINGERS. *TR
Structure, Latches/locks/linkages, Feb 21, 2011
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

THE CHROME "PAINT" ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS FLAKED OFF AND WHEN YOU OPEN OR SHUT THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, IT GIVES YOU A "PAPER CUT." IT HAS CUT MY FINGERS SEVERAL TIMES, YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF OPENING OR SHUTTING THE DOOR BEFORE YOU DO IT BECAUSE IT IS SECOND NATURE SO IT IS HARD TO DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT IT. *TR

I JUST READ THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON THE 2007 TAHOE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES, AND SO HAS MY WIFE. IT'S THE SEAM WHERE THE TWO PIECES OF 'FAKE' CHROME COME TOGETHER AT THE TOP OF THE DOOR HANDLE - THINK OF A RAZOR SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO OPEN YOUR DOOR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER (JOHN L. SULLIVAN, ROSEVILLE, CA) WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO - PRETTY TYPICAL OF A DEALERSHIP I FIND. SO I'VE JUST BEEN DEALING WITH IT; THAT AND NASTY CUTS ON MY FINGERS. I FINALLY TOOK A RAZOR AND SHAVED THE PIECES DOWN, BUT NOW THE WHITE PLASTIC OF THE HANDLE IS EXPOSED. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE. *TR

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. *TR

WHILE PARKED AT A RESTAURANT MY TAHOE WAS BROKE INTO. THE THEFT WAS DONE WITH A SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER UNDER THE KEY LOCK IN THE SEAL BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND THE DOOR. I COULDN'T EVEN TELL. THE POLICE SHOWED ME WHERE TO LOOK AND SAID IT WAS VERY COMMON. I TOOK IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND A BODY SHOP. ONE DEALER AND THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT THIS WAS VERY COMMON AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE ALARM DOESN'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE SCREWDRIVER IS SENSED AS A KEY. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE FILED A COMPLAINT BY ME AND CLOSED IT IN THE SAME PHONE CALL. THEY SAID TO TAKE IT UP WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT EASY TO BREAK INTO. IT IS GOING TO COST $700 TO REPLACE THE HANDLE AND PAINT THE DOOR AND I MUST REPLACE THE GPS UNIT THAT WAS STOLEN AND A CHECK TO MY BANK WAS ALSO TAKEN. *TR
