 Dash board cracked driver side
01/07/201398000
 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 righ 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.

 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 2 vehicles (2007 tahoe and 2007 avalanche with same cracks and will file 2 complaints)
02/01/201372000
 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.

 Dash has multiple cracks around the airbag on the passenger side and one crack in dash above the instrument cluster.
11/10/201263000
 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.
12/08/2012
 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.

 The dashboard cracked 4 inches on driver side hump next to airbag.
06/22/201214600
 I notice a crack on my dash board in the seam of the air bag front left side- and then inspected the dash board to find another crack over the steering hump of the dash board heading down toward the vent of the dash board. as i researched this issue i have found several owners with the same issue some under warranty and others not. the issue is the dash board is cheaply made and may cause severe damage if in an accident and since it is located near the air bag it could cause injury
04/08/201148000
 My dash is cracking in two places above my airbags. the cracks are causing my dash to bulge. it has been brought to my attention that numerous 2007 tahoe's and yukon's all have dash cracks in the same areas. i have contacted gm about this problem and have not received any help. i am worried it will affect my airbags deploying.
09/14/201274000
 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.

 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.

 I own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. all four door handles broke off from the vehicle. the manfacturer 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.
09/01/201270500
 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.

 Both of my children have been cut several times on numerous occations by the peeling of the chrome on the door handles in the back seats. the dash is cracking which i have seen this complaint on many many 2007 gm suv's. would like to see something done about these problems since it happens to be a big complaint by many owners.

 Driver side interior door handle chrome is peeling off and cut my finger.
04/01/201069000
 The dash has major cracking around the airbag and on top of the dash in the area of the steering wheel. the first incident occured in april 2010, had the dash replaced under warranty approximately sept/oct 2010. the second incident occurred in august 2012. same cracks in dash around airbag. i can't help but wonder if these cracks compromise the airbag in any way. or if the vehicle is involved in a collision will the dash pieces become airborne projectiles. have spoken with gm and while they acknowledge that they have had issues with the dash cracking, they do not acknowledge a defect in the dash. a simple internet search provides several instances of these same cracks occuring in many 2007 chevrolet tahoes, avalanches, and 2007 gmc yukons. yes, i could pay to have a new dash installed but it will be the same defective part that will crack again causing the same safety concerns.

 The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 chevy tahoe lt. it literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. it is a miracle that the entire car did not go up in flames. i've done a little research online and apparently this is not an isolated incident. the 2006-2007 chevy trialblazers and toyota rav4's have had the same issues. i believe there needs to be a recall of some sort in order to make sure this does not happen to anyone else and potentially catch the entire vehicle on fire.
05/30/201260389
 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 passager side. i am concerned that if this cracks any worse the airbag may deploy and injure a passager or it may cause the steering column to mailfunction if the dashboard falls. chevy should be recalling this so that no one is injured.

 2007 tahoe ltz has had 3 door handles break during the last 2.5 years of ownership. am finding this is a very common issue for the 2007 model year. door handles are approx $200.00 each to replace. can't anything be done by gm motors to make this right?
12/22/2011
 The door handles are coming completely appart on the vehicle. i cannot enter the vehicle on the right side at all and now the driver side handle is coming apart more all the time. eventually i will not be able to get into the vehicle to drive it whatsover and do not have extra money to repair this gm issue. this needs to be taken care at no charge by chevrolet.

 The chrome plated driver side door handle is peeling. when the plating starts to peel the chrome is very sharpe and cuts like a razor. i have cut my fingers three seperate times. the dealership wants approx. $100 to replace the chrome plating. in other words, to replace a sticker. this is completely unacceptable and very hazardous.

 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. three of the four door handles are frayed and cause cuts. the center console was literally coming apart at the seams. i can hear the sound of wind very loudly with the windows up. shortly after i bought the car - i returned to the service dept. at the dealer (moreno valley chevrolet) advising them that the door locks are not properly operating with the key fob and that the sound of wind was/is very loud and the tires are making noise. well , they replaced, reset, and whatever else to the door locks - and the electronic fob still did not (and does not) work. even after three (or four) attempts to reslove this - i have to use the key, the fob does not work. the dvd player plays at will. at one of those visits - where i advised of excessive noise, the dealer replaced three of my tires and my dvd player - without my request. the service tech says - oh, they hooked you up. i asked and asked why they replaced these things and no one, including the service manager, had an answer. and still - the tires wear unevenly, are loud, and the ride is not smooth and the dvd player plays when it wants to. i took my car to jiffy lube for an oil change and the guy there said, one day, your tires are going to fall off, this (what the name was-i can't recall) is broken...it's just a matter of time before it falls apart. i took it to the dealer (moreno valley chevy) and they said cannot duplicate. never, ever another chevy.

 This morning after a heavy rain last nnight, while taking the kids to school, i heard a water sloshing sound coming from the rear passenger side door. got home and investigated the door- it was literally filled inside with water. upon further investigation, i found that all doors had water in them! scary! i had to leave all 4 doors open for approx 20 min for water to stop draining out! my saftey concern here is if these doors are filled (and i'm not exaggerating when i say filled) with water, there must be a risk of electrical shock from the different electrical components inside the doors for windows and/or the power locks.

 My husband and i purchased a 2007 chevrolet tahoe 8-16-11. i cut my left middle finger on the chrome driver side interior handle 8-17-11. after further investigation, we discovered all the handles on the vehicle are peeling and very sharp. we have a small child & i am very concerned that he also start cutting his hands when opening/closing the doors. i feel as though we spent too much money on the vehicle for the handles to be slicing our fingers open.

 My 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz has chrome door handles which are all comming loose. two of them are so loose that they are about to break off. the other two look as if it is only a matter of time. when you try to use the handle thats loose you can get your fingers caught under the handle and smash them up if you aren't careful.

 My mother-in-law was getting in our 2007 chevrolet tahoe. as she was closing the door the handle nicked her finger and cut her. after further investigation, we found that the handle had began to peel and had created a sharp edge. we put a piece of tape over it and have had it that way since. she had a 1 cut on her index finger, which we treated with alcohol and a band-aid.

 2007 tahoe ltz. my tahoe caught on fire as i was driving down the freeway on 9/10/10. i saw smoke in the back of my suv as i was driving. i pulled over and looked in the back of the suv. flames were coming from the drivers side back end of the auto. it took the firemen 20 minutes to put the fire out. my insurance company is saying it must be mechanical, which they start to tell me that type of fire is not covered and they are not covering damages, which the suv is totaled. but the fire was only in the rear of the suv. i'm sure this will be a battle! other things are my windshield also comes on random times with the water spraying whenever it wants. door handles in the middle of the handle was sharp and had to be replaced. lettering on buttons doesn't seem to last. lot's of seat belt problems.

 I have a 2007 chevy tahoe ltz with 60k miles on it now. my girlfriend normally rides with me and has cut her hand on several occasions now on my interior door handle that is peeling. it started with the front passenger side door handle, and now all 4 door handles are peeling on the car and the metal that is still on poses a serious cut risk. i went to the dealer and so far they told me they can replace the parts but at a cost and labor to me, not covering any portion. after researching this it seems to be a major problem with my type of car model and i feel like gm should deal with this crappy part and replace for free.

 I am the owner of a 2007 chevy tahoe. a few months ago i notice a crack in several places on my dash board. the most visible crack was located next to the passenger airbag. i am afraid that because this crack is next to the airbag it may possible cause the airbag to deploy and cause serious injuries to a passenger or cause me to be involved in an accident.

 2007 chevy tahoe ltz cracked dash, i have been to many different websites with pictures of the same exact cracked dashboards as mine, 3 and half years a dash should not crack, these are luzury vehicles and expensive and should be made with good quality...here is one site that i came across with the same cracks as mine http://chevroletforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26133&page=3

 Gas mileage on my 2007 chevy tahoe is much worse than the advertised 21mpg. i am lucky if i get 13mpg on regular gasoline. don't get me started on the e85 scam - less mpg and only $0.30 cheaper than regular gasoline? the dealer scammed me into believing it was an apples to apples comparison of e85 and gas.

 I leased a 2007 tahoe in june 2006. after about 10k or 15k i began to hear alot of noise when turning left or right. i asked the tahoe dealership to check it out and they stated it was not a problem. months later the problem continued to get worse an louder. same dealership states it not a problem. the clicking, squealing noise have gotten worse. third time same dealership states there's nothing wrong. may 21, 2008, i go to a different dealership for a service and because all my friends say there has to be something wrong. i was told that it is a known problems with gm model, i.e., tahoe yukons suburbuns. the intermediate shaft that is installed wears out, and has to be replaced, in models dating back to 98 at least. he states i would have to pay for repair. i researched an found that hundreds of complaints and forums about the very problem but there is no recall about. they have been using the same shaft for years and now have improved part that consumers have to pay for out of their pockets. how can they knowlingly place bad parts in vehicles and not be responsible for repairing. i was told that unless they had a new for the intermediate shaft it would have to be replaced every 10k miles. *tr
