Two years old and mine rotted out. Both broke when I sat on the tailgate, I fell and got hurt. They rotted out in the middle and did not show any signs of a problem on the outside cover.
Talked to GM. Like always they said a version of ....."tough..".

Well, it's official; GM makes sh#tty cables for their tailgates, seeing as how you are the 1000th poster to say it. :D
Sorry to hear you got hurt though. Maybe you should contact GM legal and see what they have to say. ;)
This is a common problem with GM trucks. This started happening on my

HDNATE,
Did contact GM. They want me to spend money and do R&D for them by delivering the cables to some specified dealer at cost to me. I bought new ones but they offered nothing, the same nothing they offered for my other $5,000+ of repairs.
Sure wish this 'small potatoes' cable issue were the only thing. I just sent GM pictures of my truck with the giant lemons plastered over the sides and back. Cute.

Larry, I emailed those pics to the people I know at GM also, dont know if it will go anywhere, but I made sure to let them know your feelings on your truck.
