Complaint
2000
STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
WHILE CLEANING THE BED OF MY 2000 SONOMA OUT THE LEFT SIDE TAILGATE STRAP FAILED MIDWAY ON THE CABLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT HAND SIDE I FOUND APPARENT CORROSION IN THE SAME LOCATION AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. IF BOTH HAD FAILED IT COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY, OR DAMAGE OR LOSS OF THE TAILGATE. APPEARS THIS IS SIMILAR TO FAILURES AND RECALLS OF LARGER GM PICKUPS RECENTLY. *NM

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WIPERS WILL JUST STOP WORKING GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESRCIBED IN A GMC RECALL ON SAME MODELS. MY TRUCK WAS MADE THE NEXT MONTH AFTER THE RECALL WAS STOPPED. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE GONE ON FURTHER THAN IT DID COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED TRUCKS. *AK
