Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While deer hunting in maine in nov 06 i was taking the deer off the roof of my cap when the cables both broke and sent me flying to the ground. i was very lucky and only twisted my back a little but it hurt. when i looked at the cables they were both rusted completely. i have owned 3 blazers and their system for the tailgate was great. never a problem. general motors should repair this for all of us s10 drivers. right now i have parachute cord holding up my tailgate. *jb
