Consumer Description

THE CABLE ON ONE SIDE OF MY CHEVROLET PICKUP GATE BROKE CAUSING THE GATE TO FALL ONTO THE BUMPER. AFTER PURCHASING A NEW PAIR OF CABLES FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED THAT THE GATE WAS NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED CAUSING THE WEIGHT OF THE GATE TO BE PLACED ALL ON ONE CABLE. I ALERTED THE DEALERSHIP TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH THEY LOOKED AT AND SUGGESTED THAT I COULD MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TAILGATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT BUT COULD NOT GET ANY MOVEMENT IN THE TAILGATE SO I AM STILL DRIVING WITH THE PROBLEM.*AK
