Escape XLT 3.0L

My girlfriend and I were returning from a nice trip from Vegas when all of a sudden going 85 miles an hour the grille flew off of the car and and nearly into the car behind us. once I had retrieved it from the freeway so that i could at least save the emblem i had noticed that both of the brackets had broken so $70 later and about 30 minutes replacing the emblem to the new grille everything is better even though the mounting system for the grille insert is too brittle and will likely fail again.
