Tail gate cables on 2 year old S-10 truck failed. Dealer would not cover cost of replacement. Two years later company had a recall for replacement and dealer still would not reimburse cost of replacement. Called GM and followed their instructions to send in receipt for reimbursement but never heard from them, calls not returned. Company and dealer were long on talk, very short on service. This is one of three serious S-10 defects, so far.

I am the second owner of my S-10 ZR2, the 3rd door has been unusable with substantial costs put into it. This happened twice under warranty and was fixed. It would be nice if Chevrolet would do something to help the owners of these vehicles because it becomes very dangerous to have someone ride in the third seat.
: the contact stated the vehicle leans to the left. The dealership originally explained they could repair the defect. When the dealer took the front end apart, the front springs were on backwards. The dealership determined because the vehicle was no more than one-half inch off, they could not make repairs because the vehicle was within specifications.
