Consumer Description

TAILGATE STRAP ON PASS SIDE OF TRUCK BROKE WHILE TAILGATE WAS DOWN AND TAILGATE ACTUALLY CAME OFF AND DAMAGED TAILGATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AFTER THIS. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THIS TRUCK AND 1 TIMES THIS HAPPENED HE WAS ON A BUSY STREET AND COULD NOT GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DRUG THE TAILGATE ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE BEFORE HE COULD GET OUT OF TRAFFIC TO REATTACH THE TAILGATE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE TAILGATE REPAIRED, BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND CAUSING EVEN MORE DAMAGE. I HAVE AT THIS POINT REMOVED THE TAILGATE FROM THE TRUCK UNTIL I CAN FIND A RESOUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK
