2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

SELECTED ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT AND SUSPENSION AND BODY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE TO ADD TAILGATE AND THAT IS WHERE HE PROBLEM IS - GEEZ - THAT PART MAKES NO SENESE AT ALL. *TR TAILGATE LOCK ON RIDERS SIDE OF VEHICLE DOES NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND GREASED ONCE AT BUTCH OSTELETE IN PASCAGOULA, MS. I CALLED ABOUT REPAIR BUT THE PERSON ON THE PHONE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR IT. THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE TO STICK YOUR FINGER IN THE LOCK PIN AND SLIDE IT UPWARD TO MAKE IT ENGAGE WHEN THE TAILGATE IS CLOSED. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE I HAVE ON THE VEHICLE.
