| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 7 year old son was opening the tailgate on my sonoma when he dropped it. both tailgate cables broke at the same time. luckily he was not injured, but could have easily been. these cables appear to be in perfect condition except for the point at which they bend when the tailgate is shut. the coating had flaked off and the exposed steel cables had rusted through. the use of a better coating or stainless steel cables would have prevented this from happening. |
