Consumer Description

THE SUPPORT CABLES ON MY 2001 CHEVY S10 BROKE UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE. BOTH CABLES WERE CORRODED AT THE SAME POINT WHERE THEY BEND. AS A RESULT OF THE BREAKAGE, THE TAILGATE HIT THE BUMPER AND WAS DENTED IN TWO PLACES. THESE WERE THE FIRST DENTS EVER FOR MY TRUCK.
