2000 CHEVROLET S10 Structurebodytailgatehinge And Attachments Problems

I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT TAILGATE STRAPS BREAKING ON VARIOUS CHEVY TRUCKS. I HAVE A 2000 S10 ZR2 AND MINE ARE BROKE AS WELL. I THINK THEY NEED TO ADD S10 TO THE RECALL TOO AND GET US ALL TAKEN CARE OF. *AK

WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS IN USE BOTH OF THE TAILGATE SUPPORT STRAPS SNAPPED. THIS CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO FALL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *JB

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY S10 AND WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE WHEN ONE OF THE TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED AND CAUSED ME TO FALL FROM THE TAILGATE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY LOCAL CHEVORLET DEALER AND REPLACEMENT CABLES ARE $50. I HAVE YET TO PURCHASE THESE BECAUSE THEY ARE RATHER COSTLY AND I WAS SEARCHING THIS SITE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART BUT MANY FELLOW S10 OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE.*JB

THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES CORRODED AND BROKE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE CABLES, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE REMEDY SCOPE. *JB BOTH OF THE SUPPORT CABLE ATTACHMENT ENDS SAT EXPOSED VERTICALLY WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED ALLOWING MOISTURE TO ENTER THE CABLE ENDS. THE BLACK PLASTIC COATING ON THE CABLES ALLOWED MOISTURE TO COLLECT IN THE LOOP FORMED BY THE CABLES WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED, TRAPPING THE MOISTURE IN WITH THE METAL CABLES CAUSING A CORROSION PROBLEM. *SC

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONSUMER WAS UNLOADING BRICKS FROM THE TAILGATE AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE TAILGATE SHEARED OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE. *JB THE TAILGATE CABLES WERE REPLACED USING USED PARTS. *NM

WHILE OPENING THE TAILGATE, THE CABLES BROKE. *JB BOTH TAILGATE CABLES BROKE AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE CABLES WERE MANUFACTURED. THERE WAS A HOLE AT THE TOP OF THE CABLES THAT ALLOW WATER TO DRAIN INTO THE CENTER OF THE CABLE, TRAPPING THE WATER AND RUSTING OUT THE CABLE. *SC

THE DRIVER WAS ROLLING THE MOTORCYCLE OFF OF THE TRUCK BED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CABLES COLLAPSED. THE DRIVER PLACED THE CABLES INSIDE OF THE TRUCK AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON A RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAS TO RENDERED PAYMENT FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *JB

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED. AS A RESULT, THE TAILGATE FELL ONTO THE BUMPER. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK *SC

THE TAILGATE CABLE BROKE ON BOTH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE A 200 POUND PERSON WAS SITTING ON IT. THERE IS A TAILGATE SUPPORT RECALL 04V-129000, BUT THE VIN ISN'T INCLUDED. *LA *SC *JB

CHEVROLET S-10 TAILGATE CABLE FAILED AND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE JUST ANNOUNCED RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS OF CHEVROLET PICK-UPS. *JB

RECENTLY THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON GM FULLSIZE PICK-UPS CONCERNING THE CABLES ON THE TAILGATE CORRODING AND BREAKING. I HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET S-10 AND HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE TAILGATE SYSTEMS ARE THE SAME ON THESE TRUCKS AND BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE S-10 MODELS.*AK
