| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Placed about a 200 pound torch on tailgate when lifing into 2002 chevy s10 truck. tailgate cable broke. although no injuries or damaged property that day, in the future a 275 pound owner could have been on the tailgate and a broken cable could cause broken bones or lacerations. to correct problem one can not simply replace a $10 cable. gm has made the vehicle so you have to buy the cable and hinge for $45. this is ridiculous and if these cables have been found to be faulty and recalled in the silverados they should probably also be recalled on the s10s. as of yet the cable has not been replaced-wailting to see if a recall will be issued. *nm |
