| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 gmc sonoma pickup. both tailgate cables failed by breaking in half because of rust. i have not replaced them and am currently not using my tailgate because each one costs $42.00 (they are part of the latch assembly). gm has recalled tailgate cables on full size trucks - does anybody beleive the cables on their smaller trucks were any better? i am a beleiver the same problem exists but they sell less small trucks so there are fewer complaints. i would like to see mine corrected like many other gm truck owners have. |
