| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 chevrolet s-10 pickup. i was helping a friend move some small furniture when at the end of our last run i noticed my tailgate was resting on my bumper. apparently the tailgate cables snapped. upon further inspection the site of failure where the cable snapped was rusted through. now this is a cable that is entirely encased in plastic from the factory and it still managed to rust. i have open and closed my tailgate perhaps two dozen times in the course of three years so this is certainly not a wear issue.. i feel that gm should extend the tailgate recall it has for its full size trucks(which experience the same problem) to include their mid-size s-10 trucks as well. *jb |
