The cables on the tailgate of my 1999 gmc sierra broke,throwing my wife and I to the ground. This event took place in houghton county michigan while my wife and I were grouse hunting. I am aware that there is a product safety recall on these cables, ut it does not include 1999 sierra which makes no sense.
Tailgate cable snapped on r.h. Side, apparently corroded from inside out. No damage l.h. Cable held. Have not replaced either yet.
Tailgate cables have broken twice since I have purchased the truck new. Gm has recall model years 200 and up. The model change for this truck was in 1999. The recall should be extended to include the 1999 model year vehicles.
The taligate support cable on my 1999 sierra pickup failed. Fortunately only the one on the driver side did. I was standing on it at the time but did not get hurt. The 1999 should be included in the recall.

Tailgate cable rusted and broke. This occurred while consumer was loading a lawn mower onto the tailgate. Recall 04v129000 was issued, but this vehicle was not included due to model year.
Cable corroded and broke that holds the tailgate on my 1999 gmc sierra pickup. Other cable is corroded ready to break. Can not put any load on tailgate for fear that it will fall and hit someone and hurt them.
Tailgate straps break for no reason. I have replaced them twice with in the past 4 years.
Truck bed bounces excessivly at 68-75mph, shaking works itself forward to cabin of vehicle, steering wheel also shakes, took to dealer who said all truck beds do that. Problem is gradually getting worse.
I have experienced excessive wearing of the front brakes, which has resulted in the rotors being replaced first, then the pads replaced 2 weeks later, and upon replacing the pads the new rotors required resurfacing. Since then after driving approx 5k miles, I was told that the new pads are appox 40% worn. I required the right front balljoint to be replaced when the rotors were done. When applying the brakes & hitting a bump in the road, the brake pedal goes down to the floor and has a complete lose of braking. It failed the annual inspection, due to a leaking donnut gasket. The tailgate squeaks & rattles, and appears out of alignment. The front driver's door creaks requiring repeated greasing. There appears to be excessive wearing in the front end and braking system, as well as excessive creaking & noise from the rear area of the truck, tailgate, and driver's door. I have been met with continued resistance and lack of answers from both the mfg and dealer. Any help or information would be appreciated.
There is a pop/squeak in front over bumps. Replaced front coil springs.also, driver's seat sits too far/replaced right air deflector.
One of the doors has an air noise. Yh
