Potential Consequences:
Driving down the road at 60 mph, the front upper grill piece just came off, flew up into the windshield and then over the cab of the truck and landed in the street. This is a known defect on these trucks and has happened in 100's of cases. When it happens it makes you react as if you had hit something with the truck, if there had been anyone behind me it could have also caused damage or made them react badly to something flying thru the air. When it happened to me I was prepared for it since I had read online of it happening to so many people. The cause is that its build with really flimsy, very thin tabs that just cant hold up to the wind speed and use needed for being mounted in the front of the vehicle.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The transmission failed without warning. The truck jerked several times and wouldn't go forward, eventually stopping, putting the driver at risk of being hit or losing control. There were no warning lights or issues prior to this. It was towed to the dealer who knew immediately that the transmission valve body had failed. He said this is a known problem and in fact there was a service bulletin issued last year by GM. As of now he told us there are 2000 vehicles waiting for this part. The part has been redesigned because GM knew it was faulty. Our truck is still at the dealer waiting for the part after a month. Others have been waiting for months. GM is not allocating the part for current customers but instead putting the majority in new vehicles even though they know there are thousands of vehicles less than 3 years old on the road and putting people in danger! The rest of us are left without a vehicle. You are welcome to inspect our truck at the dealership where it currently sits.

Potential Consequences:
While driving in the highway at 60 mph, the top of the front grille flew off, hit the hood, and impacted the windshield before flying off to the passenger side of the vehicle. It impacted multiple locations on the passenger side of the vehicle as it flew off. Nothing hit the grille at the time it flew off. We were driving on a busy highway. Thankfully, the cars behind us were at a safe distance. If there were a motorcycle or another vehicle, it could have seriously injured someone or caused them to swerve their vehicle. Researching this online, multiple owners of the same vehicle have experienced the same issue. Many experiencing it when traveling at highway speeds. It seems like the thin plastic tabs that attach the top grille piece to the front of the vehicle are not strong enough to hold it. No damage had been done to the grille prior to the incident. I always use a touchless car wash, so it wasn’t loosened by that. I haven't contacted insurance or filed a police report. I'm hopeful the damage will be covered under the manufacturer warrant.

I was driving down the interstate when the top trim panel of my grille flew off my truck. The piece flew into the traffic behind me, and fortunately, no one was injured. If there was a motorcycle behind me, the rider could have been severely injured or killed. The piece that flew off is located just above the grille and below the front edge of the hood. Multiple people have reported the same issue with their trucks. This morning, the parts department at my dealership confirmed that I was not the only customer to present this problem. There is nothing to warn of the problem before this piece flies into traffic.

The vehicle is in park as it sits on my downhill driveway and doesn't move. The computer is not sensing that the transmition is in park. I know that the areother models under the GM brand that are having this issue, "Shift to Park" as they call it. I would think this would be covered under the powertrain warrenty but dealership says no. I am not looking to drop $800 on repairs on the same issue they are having in other vehicles. There is a recall for the other models but not the 22 Sierra. Any information you could provide would be appreciated.

Potential Consequences:
A large part of the grill on the front of my truck but broke off on it's own while I was driving. The part is called the Upper Grill Molding Part number 20863. It's about the size of a ski (5.5 ft long and 6 inches wide). It flew off and almost hit the car traveling behind me. They had to swerve off the road to avoid hitting it and almost got into an accident. After inspecting the part and how it is supposed to attach to the grill, it is apparent that is was very cheapy installed with flimsy plastic mounts and minimal glue. My truck only had 19,000 miles on it when this happened. I took it to the GMC dealer and they said the entire grill would have to be replaced because they don't sell that part separately. I researched this issue online and found thousands of other cases with the same scenario happening. This manufacturer's defect should be recalled as it poses a severe safety risk to pedestrians and other vehicles.
