Consumer Description

1. I WAS UNLOADING MY ALUMINUM CANOE FROM MY CHEVROLET S10 PICK UP TRUCK, AND TAILGATE CABLES BROKE, LOTS OF RUST AND CORROSION ON THE CABLES, CAUSING THE TAILGATE TO SUDDENLY DROP 6 TO 10 INCHES ON THE BACK BUMPER, CAUSING ME TO LOSE BALANCE. I FELL OFF THE TAILGATE AND FELL ONTO THE CANOE , BUMPING MY HEAD AND HURTING MY CHEST AND SHOULDER. I WENT TO GMC DEALERSHIP IN ROCHESTER, INDIANA 46975, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECALL ON THESE ITEMS, AND I COULD ORDER THEM FOR REPLACEMENT. *AK
