I HAVE READ OF A SAFTEY RECALL ON THIS VEHICAL WITH THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, I SHOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF DISTANCE TO STOP, IT'S ONLY A SMALL PICK UP, I KNOW FOR CERTIAN I HAVE A FULLY LOADED WORK TRUCK A FORD 3/4 TON ECONOLINE VAN AND I KNOW I COULD HAVE STOPPED THAT VEHICLE IN TIME. I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES, THEY JUST WOULDNT DO ANYTHING , IN AN EMERGENCY THEY JUST DON'T CUT THE MUSTARD. I HAD EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE, AND MY NEEK HAS BEEN NOT FEELING GOOD EVER SINCE. MY FATHER IN LAW GAVE THIS TRUCK TO MY WIFE HEN HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE, AND IT WAS TOLD TO ME HE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP REPEATEDLY FOR THE SAME THING SINCE IT WAS NEW. SEEMS TO ME GM SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT AND THE BODY...
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO A 1997 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP. IT'S A 4 CYLINDER, 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THE LEFT TAILGATE STRAP BROKE. THE STRAP IS CLEARLY RUSTED THROUGHOUT WHICH CAUSED IT TO SNAP. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF STRAP ON A GMC TRUCK. THIS IS NOT A PART FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON TO REPLACE SINCE IT REQUIRES SOME DISMANTLING OF THE TAILGATE. MY CHEVROLET DEALER GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $90 TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE WISE TO REPLACE BOTH OF THEM. IS CHEVROLET AWARE OF THIS IN THEIR TRUCKS AND IF SO ARE THEY CURRENTLY LOOKING AT A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR
