I have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado. While I was sitting on the tailgate, the strap broke and my tailgate is now sprung. I took it to the dealer who said all they could do was sell me a new strap. I purchased the strap and now one strap is longer than the other strap. I have the old strap and it broke right in the middle. I hurt my hip when it happened.

I was unloading a snow blower in a crate (about 300 lbs) from the back of my truck when both cables holding the gate snapped. Now I wasn't on it so it was just the blower when they snapped and I was able to catch my step on the ground. If I had been on the tail gate when this happened I could have gotten injured. Both cables had rusted on the inside of the plastic case that they are in and you could not have seen it from the outside. This to me is a very unsafe condition.

Ltr fm audrey wissinger (pa) concerned about the problems she experienced with her 2000 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Both front/rear rotors had to be replaced. The old brake linings were replaced with new ones. The rotors were literally falling apart-inferior metal. Dealer stated this was the result of the vehicle not being driven enough. There was a terrible "kluncking" sound in the rear end or drive shaft. This happened in a downshift or upshift. The dealer stated it was normal play in the drivetrain. All four wheels had to be replaced at 6000 miles because they were rusted. Tailgate strap broke at 17000 miles. When the 4-wheel drive was engaged, it made a terrible growling that didn't seem normal.
