Narrative

2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Passenger side A pillar grab handle On Friday August 18, 2023, my wife was attempting to enter the vehicle while holding the grab handle on the A pillar passenger side and using the running board to step up and into the vehicle, the handle she was using to steady herself while climbing up and into the vehice snapped off from its mounting location and she fell from the vehicle. The handle along with the trim piece covering the A pillar came out as a unit in her hand. She could have been seriously injured. These grab handles need to be made of a more sturdy material to prevent these occurances.
