On April 13, 2011 I cut me finger on the inside door handle trying to open my 2007 Chevy Suburban. The metal part seemed to have peeled up and I cut my finger on it.

No crashes or injuries. On the indicated date I had the engine turned off with the keys in the ignition, listening to the radio. After a short time approximately 10 minutes, I discovered that the car battery was completely drained. I have been careful not let these incidents occur again but it has repeated at least 6 times. The most recent time was when I had a flat tire replaced and the tire service tech attempted to reprogram the tire pressure monitor system at which time, the battery was drained immediately. The reprogramming was impossible because the battery would not provide electricity to complete the TPMS. I followed the owner's manual's instructions' and had the same results, a dead battery and unsuccessful attempt. I now have a useless TPMS and the danger of getting stranded with a dead battery. The dealership offers to attempt to fix the problem starting at $99 +. a new vehicle should be free of these types of defects. I should not be paying for the repair.

We have a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban ltz. We paid extra for an automatic rear lift gate, which you can open with your key remote, . last week the automatic gate started malfunctioning. The gates lifts up a few feet then slams back down. Luckily our small child did not get under the lift gate or I am afraid she would have been severely injured by the rear gate slamming closed. We were told by the dealership that the gears are striped on the lift gate. 2 1/2 years of use and the gears are striped?
