STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE CABLE ON ONE SIDE OF MY CHEVROLET PICKUP GATE BROKE CAUSING THE GATE TO FALL ONTO THE BUMPER. AFTER PURCHASING A NEW PAIR OF CABLES FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED THAT THE GATE WAS NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED CAUSING THE WEIGHT OF THE GATE TO BE PLACED ALL ON ONE CABLE. I ALERTED THE DEALERSHIP TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH THEY LOOKED AT AND SUGGESTED THAT I COULD MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TAILGATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT BUT COULD NOT GET ANY MOVEMENT IN THE TAILGATE SO I AM STILL DRIVING WITH THE PROBLEM.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE REAR TAILGATE SUDDENLY FELL DOWN, AND UPON INSPECTION, THE CABLES ON EITHER SIDE THAT HOLD THE TAILGATE UP WERE BOTH BROKEN. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT MOTORING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY AT MY REPAIR SERVICE, WHERE 2 NEW CABLES WERE INSTALLED. I SAW AN ARTICLE IN MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER TODAY {2/24/04} THAT ALLUDED TO A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR THE MECHANISM ITSELF. NO INJURIES RESULTED FROM THIS MISHAP, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS TO YOUR BUREAU SINCE OBVIOUSLY THERE HAVE BEEN MORE INSTANCES.*AK

SEAT BELTS
I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD2500 4 DOOR DIESEL TRUCK. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT IN THE FRONT SEAT LOCKS AND TIGHTENS TO THE POINT THAT YOU LITERALLY CANNOT MOVE. YOU CAN BE ON SMOOTH ROAD, NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES AND THE BELT WILL LOCK AND THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE IT IS TO UNBUCKLE IT AND BUCKLE IT AGAIN. THEN IT WILL SOON LOCK AGAIN. IT IS A CONSTANT PROCESS MAKING THE BELT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WEAR. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AT MY DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WITH ALL OF THEM THE SAME. IT IS LAW THAT YOU WEAR YOUR SEATBELT BUT THIS ONE IS NOT USEABLE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GM AND MY DEALERSHIP BUT AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AND TO GET USE TO IT! ALL I WANT IS A SEATBELT THAT WORKS PROPERLY AND SAFELY. PLEASE HELP.*AK
