2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO MY 17 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. IN ATTEMPTING TO STEADY HERSELF WHILE WALKING, SHE ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE TIRE ON MY DAUGHTER'S CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. HER SMALL HAND SLIPPED THROUGH THE HUB CAP SPACE AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOT BRAKE PAD, CAUSING HER TO SUFFER 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON THE PALM OF HER HAND. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED TO OTHER YOUNG CHILDREN. PARENTS WITH WHOM MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE SPOKEN HAD NO IDEA THAT BRAKE PADS WERE SO ACCESSIBLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF THIS DANGER AND SHOULD BECOME AWARE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CHROME DOOR HANDLES ON THE 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE, BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHROME IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE DEALER SAYS THE SUBURBAN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN ALMOST THE SAME CAR. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. I HAVE HAD TWO PEOPLE CUT THEIR HANDS ON MY DOOR HANDLE, AND I'M GOING TO JUST SAND IT DOWN MYSELF OR WRAP IT WITH DUCT TAPE. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING THE TOP LAYER OF METAL OFF. THIS METAL EXPOSES EXTREMELY SHARP SURFACES. TWO MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY HAVE CUT THEIR FINGERS ON THE DOOR HANDLES. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CUT HANDS AND FINGERS OF FAMILY MEMBERS. GM DEALER WILL NOT WARRANTY REPAIRS TO THE HANDLES AND WANTS TO CHARGE FOR THE DEFECT. *TR

FINGER CUT FROM SHARP CHROME PEALING FROM INSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE ON 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN LTZ MODEL. BOTH MY WIFE AND SON HAVE RECEIVED DEEP, PAINFUL PAPER TYPE CUTS FROM THIS PROBLEM. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE FOR FREE BECAUSE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SUBURBAN THAT CONSUMES APPROX 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 800 MILES. AT 1200 MILES/QT THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS "NORMAL CONSUMPTION". I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER THAT CONFIRMED THE 800 MILES/QT AND IS INSTALLING NEW PISTONS AND RINGS NEXT WEEK. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT A FIX BUT SHOULD HELP WITH CONSUMPTION UNTIL A PERMANENT FIX IS MADE BY GM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. A PASSENGER OPENED THE FRONT DOOR AND CUT HER HAND ON THE DOOR HANDLE. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHROME PAINT ON ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES WAS CHIPPING. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 22,235.

THE ENGINE CONSUMES APPROX 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1700 MILES. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. *TR

I AM SEEING AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH MY 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN. FROM MY MEASURE IT IS CONSUMING 4 1/2 QTS OF OIL PER 3000 MILES. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A "KNOWN" ISSUE BUT DIDN'T PERFORM ANY REPAIRS. I AM INSTEAD PERFORMING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THAT'S FINE BUT I NOW HAVE A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT I CANT TRUST FOR ANTICIPATION OF ENGINE FAILURE/LOCK UP OR WORSE ENGINE BURN UP OR FIRE FROM A LOW OIL CONDITION. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN THE SECOND ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT JUST UNRAVELED, 2 WEEKS LATER THE 3RD ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT UNRAVELED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING 3 YRS AGO WE HAD A GMC YUKON AND WE WERE IN A SEVERE CRASH. THE YUKON WAS ONLY 3 YRS OLD AT THE TIME AND THE FRONT MIDDLE SEATBELT FAILED AND THE SECOND ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT FAILED SERIOUSLY INJURING OUR FAMILY. THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION ARE THESE THE SAME SEATBELTS I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. CAN SOMEONE LOOK INTO IT. *TR
