2024 GMC Sierra 1500. While driving approximately 75 MPH, the front chrome grille deflector came loose from the passenger side of the vehicle and started flapping. Before I could safely pull over it became detached and flew over the hood of the vehicle striking the front windshield before nearly hitting another moving vehicle behind me. This caused damage to the hood, the other driver did not stop. While the 2024 model vehicle is not listed in NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V060000 (STRUCTURE) recalled on the 2022 model, GM lists the same part number for the 2022-2024 models, therefore the recall should include these years as well. The failure mileage was 27,500.

Twice in the last few weeks my tailgate has opened while driving the vehicle. Prior to this, the tailgate has never dropped while driving since the vehicle has been new. The tailgate was not down whenever I left, but it was down whenever I got to my location. I did not hit the tailgate button to drop the tailgate at any time before during or after this trip. On the one occurrence, items were lost from the bed of the truck, which could cause a road hazard for other motorists. There were no warning lights or notifications that the tailgate was open on the driver information center or elsewhere. I have service scheduled with the dealer on 5/2/25 to inspect the vehicle. I am unsure at what point in the trip the tailgate opened.

At approximate 36700 miles. Upper top molding piece next to the grill, flew off while driving down the highway at 75mph hit my windshield and cracked it. Lucky no one was flowing me. This is the second one that's has broken. The first time was driving in South Dakoda the day after I purchased the truck and one side broke so I was able to stop at a truck stop and duck tape it until I was able to take it to the dealer. This seams to be a flaw, because read this has happen to multiple truck of the same model.

Since my purchase of the vehicle Dec 2023, the tailgate opens on its own. Usually follows hitting a bump such as the rain gutter entering a store parking area. I have also had it occur while driving down the road. Have been told multiple times by my service personnel they have had same complaints from other Sierra 1500 but have no fix for the problem. They have offered to deactivate the electronic tailgate system but this is unacceptable to me. There is a recall for 2500 models with same issue but not for 1500-??s. This makes little sense.

As I was driving on the highway the upper top moulding from the grill came off causing scratches to the hood. This is dangerous if it flies off into the windshield. This has been an issue for GMC.

The tailgate unlatched while driving. This caused the paint on the tailgate to rub off on the jack of the trailer that I was hauling. This could have caused items in the back of the pickup to fall out onto the road. There is a current recall for 2021-2023 GMC Sierra's with the same issue, but my 2024 GMC Sierra is not included in the recall. The vehicle is going to be inspected tomorrow by the a body shop. There were no lights or messages prior to the failure.

UNKOWN. It came like that. I took the truck to the dealership to be inspected and I was told that it was a manufacturing problem.
