“Was driving down the highway at around 68mph in a 70. When the top portion of the front grill broke off, struck the windshield and landed in the roadway. Important thing to note was that I had struck nothing or nothing struck my vehicle. I now have to pay a body shop to replace the faulty part. Incident occurred on 10/16 in Mew Braunfels, Texas, Comal County”
NHTSA complaint #11771960, filed 2026-10“I was driving home from family’s house 2 hrs away and got home late. When I got home I noticed the upper front grille assembly or top chrome trim piece for the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate flew off at some point while driving. That could have caused an accident for others and myself but luckily no one is harmed.”
