The plastic tailgate latch on my 2005 Avalanche popped off while I was trying to unlatch it. I had to take it to a body shop immediately because I couldn't open it to get to the cargo box. All the latches on the doors are metal. Why does GM put a plastic latch on the tailgate???

This is my second Avalanche and I had the same problem with the first one. They also have a vibration with the exhaust systems deflectors that sounds like a moan when you are at certain speeds. I can see why Chevy is about to go under as they do not fix any problems and the owners get stuck with it. I am not going to pay to have either one fixed. I will tie the tail gate up with baler twine and put a sticker on it "Made in the USA" just before I go buy a Toyota

Quoted 250 in the phone - cost 450 when picked up. 2 weeks later same problem. They would not fix it again. Would cost me again. Still broke.
