| Description of the problem | The passenger side front interior chrome door handle has begun peeling which results in a sharp edge on the door handle which results in minor cuts on human hands when a person pulls on the handle to open the door. This is the same issue experienced with 2007 chevy tahoe which resulted in nhtsa ea 10004. Nhtsa ea 10004 resulted in chevrolet extending warranty on this issue for 100,000 miles or 10 years. I contacted chevrolet about this issue with 2010 tahoe and they are not willing to extend the warranty on this model without nhtsa enforcement. The driver side front handle had the same problem in 2012. Gm fixed that handle for free because car was under 36,000 mile / 3 year warranty. Online search reveals that other post- 2007 model tahoe owners are having same issue. Since issue is with door handle, vehicle is stationary when door handle is used. |
