2000 GMC SONOMA Complaints

2000 SONOMA RECALL TO REPLACE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES THAT TEND TO FAIL DUE TO RUST.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***.*MR THE CONSUMER BELIEVED HIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED THE A RECALL. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 2000 GMC SONOMA THIS YEAR AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 1MO. AND THE THIRD DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN. I HAVE READ THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM AND WONDERING IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. OR IS ALL THE GMC SONOMA BUYS JUST AT A LOST FOR EVERY TIME THE HANDLE BREAKS. DOES THE COMPANY CARE AT ALL. SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. A METAL HANDLE COUNLD PROBABLY FIX THE PROBLEM OR MAKE THE DOOR RELEASE EASIER TO UNLOCK. *AK

2000 GMC SONOMA PICKUP. TAILGATE WAS DOWN WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES. BOTH CABLES HOLDING TAILGATE UP BROKE AT SAME TIME ALLOWING TAILGATE TO DROP ON BUMPER.*AK

TAILGATE CABLE (RIGHT SIDE) SNAPPED AT POINT WHERE CABLE BENDS. APPEARS TO BE RUSTED UNDER PLASTIC COVER.

MY BUDDY AND I LOWERED MY TAILGATE ON MY 2000 GMC SONOMA, AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, BOTH CABLES SNAPPED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE CABLES WERE RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE WERE NOT ANY INJURIES, BUT NOW I CAN'T USE MY TAILGATE FOR ANYTHING. I AM ALSO SCARED THAT IT MAY BE STOLEN, SINCE THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO STEAL IT IS NOW SHORTENED. *JB
