Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 CHEVROLET S-10 4X4. ON WED DEC THE 15TH BOTH MY TAILGATE CABLES BROKE IN HALF. I WAS PUTTING SOME EXTRA SETS OF WHEELS IN THE BACK. WHEN I SET THE WHEEL ON THE TAILGATE THE TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED. NO ONE WAS HURT AND THERE IS SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO MY TAILGATE. I AM GLAD NO ONE WAS RIDING ON THE TAILGATE OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAD RUSTED OUT AND JUST LET LOOSE. I NEVER EVEN KNEW THEY WERE RUSTING OUT. *JB
