While your car may weigh 3300 lbs, the stress on those cables will exceed that easily under the right circumstances. Chuck
I recall reading on an RV forum (maybe here on RV.net) where someone noticed their cables were only lightly rusted on the outside, but the inner strands were horribly rusted, causing a failure of some kind with the safety cable. Maybe salt spray got embedded and ate away the cable internally.
