Consumer Description

WHILE LOADING LUMBER INTO MY 1999 CHEVY K1500 SILVERADO THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE RELEASING THE TAILGATE. THE WEIGHT OF THE LUMBER CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO REST ON THE REAR BUMPER CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE. THE LUMBER ITSELF NEARLY KNOCKED MYSELF AND A FRIEND TO THE GROUND. THE REPLACEMENT CABLES COST ME $31.00 DOLLARS FROM THE DEALER, BUT THEN I FIND OUT THAT THE 2000-2004 SILVERADO'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAVE AND THE REPLACEMENT CABLES SOLD TO ME BY THE DEALER ARE THE SAME FAULTY CABLES I HAD TO BEGIN WITH AND THAT I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. *JB
