“Support cable on tailgate of 2002 Gmc sonoma snapped in two. Rust and corrosion were evident at the break point. I noticed on the chevy silverado's and Gmc sierra's there was a recall on the cables for the same problem. I have a feeling that the cables on the sonoma have the same defect. The dealer told me that since there is no recall on the cables then there is no problem. I disagree.”
