Consumer Description

Upper trim on front grille fly off while driving. All clips were broken, very thin plastic. This piece of trim nearly hit the vehicle behind me while driving 45-50mph. I've noticed there are many owners experiencing the same issue. The trim piece is separate from the grille but GM will only sell the full grille replacement. The upper piece needs to be redesigned for safety purposes and replaced on all similar models.
