“Tailgate straps simultaneously broke on 2000 Chevrolet s-10 / 4wd. This happened approx. 2 1/2 years ago. I was hand-loading a push mower into the bed of the truck, with one knee on the tailgate so that I could shove the mower farther up into the bed. The straps broke and dropped me a few inches, and causing my knee and leg to slip off the gate. I almost smacked my face into the bed, but caught myself in time.”
NHTSA complaint #10102164, filed 2004-12, 42,000 miles“In late spring of this year, I experienced a failure of my left tailgate cable during the loading of a moderate load of about 300 lbs. Thank god nobody was hurt. I went to a couple dealers around to find out about a replacement. I'm aware of the recall for the c/k tailgate cable so inquired about that for my vehicle. Was told there was none and probably won't be due to low complaint volume. I was told that this failure is normal in such a short time due to salt use on the roads here. I don't buy that; I believe they should last much longer. …”
