2000 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

TAILGATE CABLES ON MY 2000 CHEVY S10 HAVE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKEN. I HAVE PURCHASED NEW CABLES, BUT THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LATCH. EVEN THE PARTS PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE DISGUSTED BY THIS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE FULL SIZED GM TRUCKS, THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SMALLER TRUCK CUSTOMERS. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET, THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE AN ISOLATED CASE.

THE TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE WHEN I SAT ON THE OPEN TAILGATE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO FALL TO THE GROUND. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH MYSELF. IF I HAD PLACED ANY WEIGHT ON THE TAILGATE, THAT WOULD HAVE FALLEN ON MY LEGS AND CAUSED INJURY,

MY 2000 S-10 PICKUP ANTI-LOCK BRAKES HAVE BEN ACTUATING AT LOW SPPEDS SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW. WHNE SLOWING TO A STOP, THE SYSTEM PULSES THE PEDAL IF I HIT A BUMP. THE BRAKES ALSO PULSE WHEN TURING SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPACE. BRAKING DISATANCE IS ALWAYS EXTENDED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE.

1. I WAS UNLOADING MY ALUMINUM CANOE FROM MY CHEVROLET S10 PICK UP TRUCK, AND TAILGATE CABLES BROKE, LOTS OF RUST AND CORROSION ON THE CABLES, CAUSING THE TAILGATE TO SUDDENLY DROP 6 TO 10 INCHES ON THE BACK BUMPER, CAUSING ME TO LOSE BALANCE. I FELL OFF THE TAILGATE AND FELL ONTO THE CANOE , BUMPING MY HEAD AND HURTING MY CHEST AND SHOULDER. I WENT TO GMC DEALERSHIP IN ROCHESTER, INDIANA 46975, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECALL ON THESE ITEMS, AND I COULD ORDER THEM FOR REPLACEMENT. *AK

TAILGATE WAS DOWN, AND WAS PULLING CONTAINER OF DIRT OUT OF BED OF TRUCK. WHEN THE WEIGHT OF THE CONTAINER SNAPPED THE TAILGATE CABLES ON BOTH SIDES OF OUR 2000 CHEVROLET S10, CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE AND SPILLING CONTAINER. *AK
