I OWN A 2000 CHEV S-10 ZR2 TRUCK. MY COMPLAINT IS REGUARDING THE TAIL GATE CABLES. I HAVE A 110LB ROTTWIELLER WHO WAS STANDING IN IN BOX OF THE TRUCK WITH HIS FRONT FEET ON THE TAIL GATE WHEN THE CABLES BROKE. THE DOG CAME OUT OK, THE TAIL GATE WAS DAMAGED. WHEN I CHECKED WITH GM CANADA I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE FULL SIZE TRUCKS AND TO DATE THERE WERE NO OTHER CASES OF THESE CABLES BREAKING ON S-10 OR SONOMA TRUCKS. I HATE BEING LIED TO...I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORUMS. PLEASE DON'T LET UP ON GM. TO REPLACE THESE PARTS I'M LOOKING AT $170. PLUS LABOUR. THANKS TO GM ENGINEERING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY MUST BE PURCHASED, NOT JUST THE CABLES.

I HAVE A 2000 S-10 PICKUP THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER 2000. BOTH OF THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES HAVE RUSTED AND BROKEN IN HALF. THE FIRST ONE BROKE AS I WAS STEPPING DOWN FROM THE BED. BUT LUCKILY, THE OTHER HELD AT THAT TIME AND NO INJURIES HAPPENED. BUT THE SECOND ONE SOON BROKE.

TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES ON 2000 CHEVY S-10 BROKE WHILE SITTING ON TAILGATE. I ONLY WEIGH 180 LBS AND THEY BOTH BROKE.
