Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 GMC SONOMA PICK-UP. I HAD THE CABLES ON THE TAILGATE BREAK WHEN CLIMBING INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND ARTICLES ON THIS SUBJECT ON THE INTERNET FROM NEWS AGENCIES THAT SAY GMC WOULD BE SENDING OUT A LETTER TO OWNERS OF THE GMC SONOMA'S AND S10 THAT WOULD WARN OF THE PROBLEM AND OFFER AN INSPECTION OF THE CABLES AND REPLACEMENT OF THE CABLES. I NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER AND THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. *JB
