Consumer Description

I WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE OF MY 2000 SILVERADO PICKUP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, WHEN BOTH CABLES SNAPPED AND THE TAILGATE DROPPED AND WE FELL TO THE GROUND. THE TAILGATE RECEIVED A DENT FROM HITTING THE BUMPER. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT HURT, BUT NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE LOADING MY LAWN TRACTOR ON THE TAILGATE RAMPS. BOTH CABLES APPEARED RUSTED WITHIN THEIR PLASTIC SHEATHING AND SNAPPED IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE CABLE BENDS WHEN TAILGATE IS CLOSED.*AK
