Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE REAR TAILGATE SUDDENLY FELL DOWN, AND UPON INSPECTION, THE CABLES ON EITHER SIDE THAT HOLD THE TAILGATE UP WERE BOTH BROKEN. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT MOTORING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY AT MY REPAIR SERVICE, WHERE 2 NEW CABLES WERE INSTALLED. I SAW AN ARTICLE IN MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER TODAY {2/24/04} THAT ALLUDED TO A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR THE MECHANISM ITSELF. NO INJURIES RESULTED FROM THIS MISHAP, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS TO YOUR BUREAU SINCE OBVIOUSLY THERE HAVE BEEN MORE INSTANCES.*AK
