Consumer Description

WHILE CLIMBING UP INTO THE BED OF MY 2000 GMC SONOMA BOTH OF THE TAILGATE CABLES ON MY TRUCK FAILED SENDING ME TUMBLING TO THE GROUND. I WAS NOT INJURED BUT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO MY TAILGATE. THERE IS NOW A DENT THAT RUNS THE LENGTH OF MY TAILGATE WHERE IT CAME TO REST ON MY REAR BUMPER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM YET AS I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THE TAILGATE CABLE IS COVERED BY THE 2004 RECALL OF THE SAME CABLES THAT ARE USED IN OTHER GMC TRUCK MODELS.
