LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES - TAILGATE - LATCH

 I have a 2002 cadillac ext pickup truck. similar to the chevy avalanche. while driving on a hiwhyway i hit a small pothole. my tailgate popped open and both cables that prevent the tailgate form lowering to far ,broke and the taigate fell off the truck while traveling 55 mph. i was umaware that i lost the tailgate until about two miles after the pothole, because i could not find a safe place to pull over. once i pulled over, i realized my taigate was missing. i called 911 to report the incident since this could have cause a serious accident having the tailgate laying somwhere in the middle of an interstate highway at night. i also believe the latch for the taigate is faulty since this was not the first time the talgate has opened. i reported it to the dealer when i first bought the truck in april 2002. they adjusted the latch but the probelm persisted. i never brought it back for the problem thinking that this was just going to be a minor inconvenience of owneing the vehicle.
