: the contact stated the passenger side seat belt releases from the buckle without warning. Additionally, the tailgate cable on the driver's side broke while attempting to open the tailgate. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer; however the manufacturer was alerted.

Both tailate cables on a 2001 Ford Ranger truck broke while my husband was on the tailgate a few months ago. Minor injuries, but could have been serious! GM is not the only company with faulty tailgate cables! we replaced the cables at our own cost.
