Summary

The seatbelts in the captains chairs unbuckle by themselves. Sometimes it is hard for the seatbelt to buckle in the first place and takes multiple attempts to latch. Then as I'm driving the seatbelts will unbuckle without anyone touching them. This has happened multiple times, with different people so it cannot be attributed to human error. This is very dangerous.

Summary

When there is snow or ice build up under the front wipers that prevents them from going to thier “starting position or offer any resistance the wipers will no longer continue to function. So during snow storms when this occurs the wipers do not work requiring the driver or other occupants to get out sometime even opening the hood due to the large wiper well on the car to clean all residual snow or ice including that under the hinge. This can be extremely dangerous if you need to do this on the side of a road or highway in poor weather like blizzard or heavy snow fall. Please note the wipers still have full and proper range to go up and may have just have gone up. But once they can’t go down they shut down operations I think in order to prevent motor damage of the wiper regardless of the settings on the wiper controls. Hyundai needs to program the i cars to continue to allow wiper operations or trying regardless of the tension and if they can no longer do down stop and wipe up from that point. Lastly if the wipers are shutting down on the instrument control panel the driver should be notified of the wipers discontinuing of operations for thier awareness and not have to guess as to the issue. In all of my years owning and driving vehicles I’ve never experienced this with ford, Chevy, dodge, gmc, etc…. This seems to be an issue and there is a large forums of users complaining of this issue here https://palisadeforums.org/threads/wipers-stopped-working-snow-build-up.444/

Summary

The windshield wipers stop/lock with even a small amount of snow on the windshield anywhere in the wiper well (at the bottom, near the hood). Even if it's cleared out very well to start, snow pushed down there by the wipers causes the wipers to stop working entirely, while driving. This is unlike any vehicle I've ever driven in my life; it's incredibly annoying and unsafe.

Summary

SERIOUS safety problem with a VERY important VERY needed system called the WINDSHIELD WIPERS!!! THEY ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!!! I driving down the interstate and got stuck under snow, and all of a sudden my wipers just QUIT WORKING!!! I almost hit the cars in front of me!! I coiner see anything. I was later told the reason by a dealer employee… Because as the wipers are traveling in the down stroke, they quite naturally push snow down into the well in which the wipers sit when they are not in use, down where the wiper arms connect to the vehicle, and it doesn't take long to fill that area and pack it with hard wet snow, when this happens, evidently the system senses that there is an obstacle blocking the wiper arms motion, and shuts the system down, apparently so that nothing breaks! So now then I was forced to pull off onto the shoulder of the interstate in the middle of this snowstorm to try to clear the snow from the wiper well! This is a dangerous interstate and was almost hit by passing trucks!! While clearing the well I found here is another problem that comes into play.... the wipers are now stuck partially up, but not enough so that you can fold the arms up to be able to get a scraper or your hand to the area where the snow is now packed into ICE, which is kinda a deep pocket! Now I have learned from UNWANTED experience that you can manually pull the wiper arms up a few inches, which aids in letting you get your fingers in there to try to clear the snow jam, but you have to move quick, because the system is constantly trying to "RESET" itself and comes slamming back down on your fingers about every 30 seconds!!!! It literally took me 20 minutes while dodging semi trucks on i95 to get them working again! Now I'm 5'5" short which does not help at all especially for the passenger side wiper where the snow jam is in the exact middle of the vehicle!!! I felt I was going to be killed that day. This is an absolutely REDICULOUS and DANGEROUS situation to be put in, and H

Summary

Windshield cracked without any impact. If there was an impact, it was very small as there is no sign of damage. (I didn't hear anything hit the windshield while driving) This seems to be a concern with many owners as seen in different forums. I have driven many different vehicles over the years with many rocks hitting my windshield in other cars with no damage. This needs to be looked into and make Hyundai responsible for fixing this issue.

Summary

Another windshield complaint - we got a mosquito size chip in the windshield right after we bought it. It has not spread. However now all of a sudden under no known rocks hitting it - the lower passenger side now has a crack that has spread across the windshield. We have never had this issue with past vehicles. Hoping the replacement isn't the same. I do think the glass has some compromise in it and after reading the issues others have had am convinced.

Summary

After having my 2021 Palisade with only 3,000 miles, a small crack formed on the base of the wind shield. This crack quickly spread across the the bottom of the windshield in less than a months time. The glass appears to be fragile and thin. I can even feel the glassed raised when rubbing the crack, which seems to be more unsafe than a normal glass crack. The issue was reported to the dealer but they were not able to schedule to replace for several months.The dealer did not cover the windshield even on a new vehicle. The windshield was inspected by insurance. Total replacement is $1600 because of calibration.

Summary

Another vehicle t-boned my vehicle on the front left side. We were both traveling around 15 mph. As soon as he struck my vehicle, the air bags were deployed and the car instantly caught fire. The car was on fire before I was at a complete stop. I was able to pry the door open and crawl through a small opening after moving the air bags out of the way. I had to crawl into traffic to be able to escape the fire. If the door had been jammed more severely then I wouldn't have been able to make it out in time before the fire reached me. If my kids had been in the vehicle, then I would not have been able to get them out before the fire got to them. The police determined that the fire started at the engine. My insurance totaled the vehicle and then it was removed from the towing yard and taken to Montgomery. There were no prior issues or any warnings/messages before the incident.

Summary

From driver: "While traveling westbound on John Lynch St, I approached the left turn lane heading southbound on Valley St. I engaged the brakes and began navigating the left turn at approx. 30 MPH. While turning, the vehicle's "Lane Assist" engaged preventing me from completing the turn. Halfway into the turn, the vehicle continued westbound, hopped the curb, and collided with a stationary road sign that was not in use. I continued through the intersection and pulled off the roadway." Follow-on questions: 1) How fast was the customer traveling when they were actively turning? A. 30 MPH, which I am assuming was the approach speed. To the best of the vehicle operator's recollection, the approach speed was appropriately 40-45 MPH, with an active turn speed of 30 MPH. 2) What was the recent usage of the vehicle before the incident? Was it used that day? How long had the vehicle been driving before the incident? A. The vehicle was driven, by the same driver, approximately 12 miles to work the morning of the accident. Prior to the accident, the vehicle was driven around the same city as the accident for approximately two hours. 3) Did any vehicle operator notice anything wrong or unusual about the vehicle prior to the incident? A. Vehicle operator observed that the Lane Assist Dash Board Icon was blinking on and off throughout the course of a few hours prior to the accident. Vehicle operator attempted to disable the Lane Assist feature by both pressing and holding the Lane Assist Button located inside of the vehicle. 4) Any after-market equipment installed? A. Vehicle was equipped with both Law Enforcement Lights and Law Enforcement Siren. 5) Any upfits? A. The vehicle did not have up-fits. 6) Will the customer agency consent to the OEM (or NHTSA) retrieving information from the vehicle's Event Data Recorder? A. Yes.

Summary

The low beam headlights are too bright causing vehicles in the opposite direction to flash their high beams thinking that my high beams are on. This is a safety factor as I am often blinded by other drivers who flash their high beams and in many cases keep their high beams on. I've visited Palisade chat rooms and have found that other drivers have the same complaint. I have contacted Hyundai headquarters and reported the problem and have taken it to dealers three times to have the low beams lowered. I have been told that the low beam adjustment is correct and nothing can be done to fix my problem. I believe this low beam problem is a design defect and should be corrected. My vehicle is available for examination if necessary.

Summary

Every time that it has snowed this winter the wipers have stopped working. This has happened while stopped and while driving. If there is any amount of snow/ice/build up on the lower windshield, in the 'well' under the wiper blades and the hood of the car, the wipers will stop working. Not only is the frustrating but more importantly is a MASSIVE safety hazard the needs to be addressed ASAP. This happened this morning taking my kids to school, and there was very minimal snow below the wiper blades. Definitely not enough to cause harm to the wipers/motor during their use as the total amount was not even an 1/8". The time before that I was driving at normal speeds and had a truck pass me. During the trucks passing large amounts of slush/water were flung up onto the windshield and windshield well, stopping the wipers directly in their path. Being there was a vehicle in front of me, that I could A.) no longer see and B.) had no working wipers anymore, I made the decision to safely ditch the vehicle. I then had to get out, clear the slush from the well, at which point the wipers began to work again although there was nothing left to clear as all the slush/water had already ran off the windshield. This design flaw is putting lives at risk. Had I not been familiar with my area, the road I was on, and it was safe to defensively move over into the shoulder/ditch a MAJOR accident could have been caused. I can appreciate the intent, but this needs to be recalled immediately before a major accident is caused and people are hurt or worse.

Summary

On 11/9/2021, warning lights appeared on the dash - Forward Collision, ABS, and Auto Hold and I felt a slight skipping when breaking after that. We took it to the dealership, they informed that it was a wheel sensor and nothing to worry about, however, they didn't have the replacement sensor and would have to order it but said the vehicle was safe to drive. I asked my husband to confirm that the vehicle was safe to drive as by this point the skipping in the breaks continued on occasion, accompanied by a slight skipping noise. The dealer confirmed the vehicle was safe to drive. I continued to feel and hear a skipping when breaking on occasion. While driving on 11/22/21, I was approaching a red light with one car in front of me. I attempted to slow down and my breaks were skipping heavily and then the breaks became hard to depress. I was pressing the breaks heavily and the vehicle wouldn't stop. Fearful that I was going to hit the car in front of me with just a few inches between us, I swerved into the other lane (same direction) without noticing that there was a car approaching behind me in that lane. If felt like my wheels weren't spinning as I slid onto the side of the highway. Thankfully, the car behind me was able to come to a stop - also within inches - without an accident occurring. I pulled into a parking lot and contacted my husband, who contacted the dealer. The dealer had my car towed back to the dealership. Upon dealer inspection, they insisted there is nothing wrong with breaks and said there was "failure to replicate" the incident. They again informed it is just the wheel sensor and that the breaks are fine. I am fearful to drive the vehicle after the last incident.

Summary

Front Windshield cracked on the top right corner. The car has been sitting in my driveway since purchased in January 2021 with only 3250 miles so far. I contract Hyundai and they asked to take it to the dealership however nothing was done to fix it since the crack was larger than six inches. I was given a quote to replace a windshield for nearly $1500. Windshield cracking is an issue with Palisade as there are many people reporting the same issues where the Palisade windshield has cracked even from a small chip. It seems all of the people complaining on the internet are complaining about the same location being cracked on the windshield and then spreading. something needs to be done to fix it.

After 1 search on the internet looking for replacement glass I found multiple forums of people discussing how common the cracking/spiderweb issue is, sometimes with no impact. Now my visibility is being impaired as the crack continues to spread across the windshield.

Summary

The first time I was stopped at a red light and my vehicle shut off completely and was unresponsive, nothing worker. To get the vehicle to respond I had to get out of my vehicle at the light shut my door and use the remote to lock and unlock the vehicle at that time it finally responded. This happened again when I first started my vehicle and before I could put the vehicle in gear it shut off. I did the same thing as before and vehicle was responsive. The last time it happened I was driving the vehicle shut off I was almost hit from behind the brakes didn’t work had to wait for the vehicle to slow down, when I got out to shut my door to try to use the remote to get it to respond it kept rolling and almost hit me. This vehicle is currently in the shop to analyze this defect. There is no warning it happens out of nowhere and there is no controlling the vehicle. I am afraid for my life to drive this vehicle because if it is to happen again at a high speed or if I need to brake I run into to someone since the vehicle completely shuts down.

Driving down a 2 lane road, a small pebble struck the top of the windshield. About 5 minutes later a crack extended from the top of the windshield to the middle, directly in the drivers view. There are many, many complaints of these windshields shattering from very minor impacts and some for no reason at all. The fact that the windshield can break like this (not even chip) makes me concerned that an impact from a larger item (stone, retread from semi, etc) will go right thru the windshield, endangering the lives of passengers and by-standers (due to potential loss of control).

Windshield cracks with the slightest impact. After 2 replacement windshields and camera calibration performed four times, the vehicle still strays into oncoming traffic lane and over the fog line with lane keep assist and lane following assist activated. camera has been calibrated three times at Safelite and one time at Hyundai dealer. The LKA & LFA systems were PRECISE IN THEIR OPERATION WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. Now the vehicle self steers into oncoming traffic with no warning until the vehicle is over the center line. Scary as hell. Apparently Hyundai has defective and weak windshields across the board according to many internet sources. Also, apparently the recalibration procedure is not working, causing a major safety issue in these vehicles.

Summary

I purchased a new Hyundai Palisade (Limited Version) on April 1, 2021. On or about May 12, 2021, while driving down the road, a small pebble struck the bottom of my windshield directly in front of the driver position, leaving a very small chip in my windshield about the size of a bb. The small chip was so small and insignificant looking no further action was taken at the time. On the morning of May 30, 2021, I got in my Palisade, that was parked in my enclosed garage, and noticed a cracked windshield of approximately 24 inches, that appeared to originate at the location of the "BB size" chip. A cold front had came in on the night of May 29, 2021/early morning of May 30th, reducing the outside temperature much below normal. On June 1, 2021, I took my Palisade to the Hallmark Hyundai, 1198 West Main Street, Hendersonville, Tennessee, to obtain an estimate for repair and determine if this damage was covered under warranty (remember this is a new Palisade, only six weeks old and less than 2,000 miles at the time of the "pebble strike"). I explained to the service manager that I believed the cracked windshield was a possible factory defect and if asked if anyone else had recently had a cracked Palisade windshield. He said they had one other Palisade with a cracked windshield a couple of weeks earlier. The service manager told me the cracked windshield was not covered under my new car warranty and that "at this time" there were no warranty enhancements/recalls on the windshield for my Palisade. The service manager then provided me a service estimate to have my cracked windshield replaced: Part# 86111-S8110 - Glass Windshield: $1,561.89 Part# 86130=S8000 - Garnish Assy.- $188.00 Part# 86140-S8000 - Garnish Assy.- $187.31 Glass Moldings and Labor and Recalibration - $375.00 Fee Windshield Removal/Replacement - $275.00 Tax-$239.33 Grand Total - $2,846.76 In conclusion, I believe there is a lot of smoke that indicates Hyundai has a big fire with its defective windshield

I just heard a huge noise like shotgun fired and found out that the glass is shattered. I called dealer to review and find out what can be done. I have been asked to show up to dealerships next week. I have read lot of blogs and forums and found this is a common issue with Hyundai and they are not yet able to fix it. Many owners of Palisades reported this issue as well.

Summary

On a clean road with no vehicles in either direction, I heard something like a bug hit the windshield and saw a crack appear. Two days later, on another clean road, I heard something like a pebble hit the windshield and a much larger crack appeared, that looked like a spider web. There were no large vehicles on the road (e.g. gravel truck, dump truck, semi-truck) that would be likely suspects to throw a piece of gravel that would crack a windshield. Since this is a new vehicle with low miles, and two incidents on the same trip, I contacted Hyundai North America to see if there were any known issues with the Palisade windshields. The representative stated that it could be replaced under warranty as a manufacturing defect but that I had to take it to a dealership in order for them to verify prior to replacement or repair. At the dealership, the service representative stated that he would have someone look at it and call me back later in the day. He asked if I contacted anyone else yet and I told him that I contacted Hyundai North America. He stated that he would have to get his manager involved, which seemed odd. I performed an Internet search and found multiple instances of other Hyundai Palisade owners who experienced similar issues with their vehicles. This is only the second year of production of these vehicles which could indicate a design defect. There is also a pending class action lawsuit regarding cracked windshields on Hyundai Palisades which also raises a red flag that these windshields should be recalled.

Summary

My 2021 Palisade Windshield has cracked after nothing struck the windshield like so many others who own the 2020 and 2021 Palisade and Kia Telluride (Hyundai's company). This is a know quality issue with weak and easily cracked windshields which many owners have filed complaints to this NHTSA site and in online forums. The windshield is among the most important safety functions on a car. The auto glass must all be restored and it’s essential to retain the window and in good condition at all times. Driving with a chipped or cracked windshield may put me and my passengers at risk for injury in the event of a rollover or collision. Hyundai needs to issue a recall for the safety of their customers. I respectfully ask that you investigate the windshields on the 2020 and 2021 Huyundi Pallisaide's.

Summary

The infotainment system that is included with the SEL model constantly disconnects from your cell phone. We did not know prior to buying this model that Hyundai had changed their vehicle packages so that the midrange does not have options for navigation or xm radio. This becomes a safety issue because instead of having my attention on the road as I should, I am attempting to reconnect my phone to use maps, and sometimes to fix the music, taking my attention off the road. I set everything up in my car prior to driving and yet the constant in and out of the connection causes me to readjust while driving. On long drives, navigation is essential to make it to the destination. Music is not an essential but it is extremely helpful to pass the time and also helps to curb the tiredness that comes with long drives. This issue may not be the worst possible issue to have but I can see it causing accidents, which is why I decided to report it. For people that do everything they can to set things up prior to driving it is very frustrating and dangerous to have to adjust the infotainment multiple times, even in short 20 minute drives, and not have their full attention on the road where it should be.

Summary

I had only had my 2021 Palisade for 6 days, less than 400 miles, when a rock hit my windshield, the first rock to hit it. A few hours later the windshield was cracked over halfway. This is obviously a huge issue with many others, and this should be a recall! I paid too much money for the first rock to crack my windshield!

The vehicle developed a vibration at speeds of 65-70 mph. It had less than 100 miles on it when it was first noticed. The dealership has balanced the tires twice, replaced the drive shaft, and replaced the rear coupler with no success. They do not know what's wrong with the vehicle. They are currently awaiting a read differential "to see" if that fixes it. They aren't sure that it will. The part is on backorder from Korea and the vehicle has been sitting at the dealership for weeks.

Summary

THE 2ND ROW CAPTAINS CHAIR'S SEATBELTS ARE RECESSED SO FAR INTO THE SEAT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE. THE MALE PART OF THE SEATBELT ALSO HAS A BEND/ANGLE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO PUSH THE RECEIVER END TO THE SIDE TO GET THE RIGHT ANGLE TO BUCKLE. IT DOES NOT GO STRAIGHT IN. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BUCKLE THE SEATBELT IF USING A BOOSTER SEAT. OUR BOOSTER SEAT IS NARROW AND DOES NOT COVER THE OPENING WHERE THE RECEIVER IS LOCATED. IT IS THE ANGLE THAT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I RECOMMEND EXTENDING THE RECEIVER TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE ANGLE A SMALL AMOUNT.

I PURCHASED MY CAR TWO DAYS AGO. I HAVE 6 YEAR OLD TWINS IN HIGH BACK BOOSTER SEATS IN THE 2ND ROW. WE CANNOT GET THE SEAT BELTS TO BUCKLE. I HAVE TO END UP CLIMBING BACK THERE WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT AND FIGHT WITH THE SEAT BELTS. THEY JUST WON'T CLICK IN. MY CHILDREN DEFINITELY CAN'T DO IT AND AFTER A GOOD 10 MINUTES IF I'M LUCKY I WILL GET ONE BUCKLED. HOWEVER, EVEN WHEN I HEAR IT CLICK, IT ISN'T ALWAYS SECURE. THANK GOODNESS AFTER GETTING ONE CHILD BUCKLED I TUGGED ON IT BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR AND SURE ENOUGH, IT CAME RIGHT OUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS.

IT IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT FOR AN OLDER PERSON TO PROPERLY BUCKLE THEMSELVES IN, AND ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT WHEN USING A BOOSTER SEAT. IT HAS TAKEN 5 MINUTES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO GET IT IN CORRECTLY. AT TIMES, IT SEEMS IT IS IN WITH A CLICK, UNTIL I PULL IT, AND IT DISENGAGES. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE BOOSTER MAY ACTUALLY LAY IN THE BUTTON, COMPLETELY RELEASING THE SEATBELT IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP SO WE CAN ENSURE OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A TRIP OF 2 HOURS IN A HIGHWAY AND THE SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT CHECKED THE VEHICLE TOLD ME THAT SOMETHING HIT THE CONDENSER. HE SHOWS US THE DAMAGE AND WE REALIZED THAT THE GRILL HAS BIG HOLES AND NO REAL PROTECTION TO THE CONDENSER. ANY ROCK CAN BREAK THE CONDENSER. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WHEN IS OBVIOUSLY A BAD DESIGN. THE WAY THE GRILL IS DESIGNED IS GOING TO PERMIT THAT THE CONDENSER BREAKS OR SUFFER DAMAGES ALL THE TIME.

WHEN IT IS SNOWING TOO HEAVILY, TOO FAST, OR SNOW FALLS ON TO YOUR WINDSHIELD FROM YOUR ROOF WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP. THEY DO NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL YOU HAVE MANUALLY CLEARED THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. SO YOU HAVE TO TRY AND NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE YOU CANNOT SEE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THEN GET OUT OF YOUR CAR TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD...THIS CAN HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DRIVE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR AND AS HE WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ROOF SNOW SLIDE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A SENSOR. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT REENGAGE WHEN SWITCHED TO MANUAL. THEY ONLY RESUMED WHEN HE CLEARED ALL THE SNOW OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND SENSOR. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.

I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP SALES GUY TODAY, AND HE SAID TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO FIX IT, BUT ON THE PALISADE FORUM, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME WHO HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 2021 PALISADE SEL. AND CARPLAY CANNOT PLAY IF CONNECTED VIA USB CORD AS IN PREVIOUS MODELS. IF THIS BUG IS FIXED, IT'S WILL BE A GREAT FEATURE TO HAVE IN THE 2021 SEL. RIGHT NOW IT'S AN ANNOYANCE AND A SAFETY HAZARD (AS A GPS MAP MAY BE UP AND DISPLAYING THEN JUST DISAPPEARS). THIS ISSUES HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

Summary

THE DESIGN OF THE SHIFTING MECHANISM IS BACKWARDS SO THAT DRIVERS MEANING TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE (AND GO FORWARD) WILL EASILY CONFUSE THE BUTTONS AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE (SENDING THE VEHICLE BACKWARDS). THINKING ABOUT A SHIFT KNOB ON A STANDARD VEHICLE, ONE THINKS OF THE KNOB IN "REVERSE" AS BEING BACK TOWARDS THE REAR WINDSHIELD. SAME WITH A MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR: TO GO FORWARD YOU SELECT THE POSITION IN THE FRONT, AND TO GO BACK, YOU SELECT THE POSITION IN THE BACK. THE CONFUSION HAPPENED TO ME OFTEN ENOUGH THAT I ALWAYS LOOK AT THE BUTTONS CAREFULLY BEFORE GOING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE"D" HAS LIT UP. MY HUSBAND, WHO USUALLY DRIVES ANOTHER CAR, DROVE THIS VEHICLE AND PRESSED "" BY ACCIDENT TWICE AND THE CAR OBVIOUSLY WENT BACKWARDS WHEN HE MEANT TO GO FORWARDS. EVERYONE I ASK HAS AGREED WITH US THAT THE NATURAL (AND THEREFORE MOST SAFE) ORIENTATION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE MOST FORWARD BUTTON BE DRIVE, AND THE BOTTOM TOWARDS THE BACK BE REVERSE. ALTHOUGH WE AVOIDED CRASHES, I THINK THIS DESIGN CREATES THE REAL POSSIBILITY OF MANY ACCIDENTS.

MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY HAD AN ASTHMATIC ATTACK AND CAUSED A HEADACHE WITH BOTH EVENTS REQUIRING MEDICATION . I PERSONALLY WAS CHOKED BY THE ODOR AND ALMOST VOMITED . I IMMEDIATELY OPEN ALL DOORS AND STUPIDLY TRIED TO LOCATE WHICH AREA OF THE VEHICLE THE TERRIBLE ODOR CAME FROM . IT WAS TOO STRONG AN ODOR TO DETECT ANY ONE AREA AND IT PERMEATED FROM ALL THE DOORS AND REAR HATCH. "WHAT I DID ACHIEVE WAS ENOUGH OF THE GASEOUS CHEMICAL COMPOUND IN MY MOUTH'S MUCOUS MEMBRANE AND MY AIRWAY THAT MY TASTE AND BREATH HAD THE RESIDUAL ODOR FOR OVER FOUR HOURS. THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THAT WE CANNOT WITHSTAND AGAIN. MY WIFE CERTAINLY CANNOT WITHSTAND LIFE THREATENING ASTHMATIC ATTACKS CAUSED BY OUR BRAND NEW HYUNDAI VEHICLE, THE PALISADE I HAVE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA CANNOT DISCLOSE TO ME WHAT CONTAMINANTS ARE CAUSING THIS TOXIC ODOR. WHAT IS IT AND WHAT LEVEL OF WHATEVER IT IS WOULD BE POISONOUS ? TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 20-BD-018H IS NON SCIENTIFIC AND NON ENGINEERED COVER UP OF HAZARDOUS HEALTH ISSUE TO ALL CONSUMERS.

Summary

I HAD JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH 28 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A ONE AND ONE HALF INCH CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS TRAVELING AT 45 MPH. THE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE OR TOO THIN TO INCUR THIS DAMAGE. I WAS NOT FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE PROJECTED THE PEBBLE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD AT IT'S EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS CURRENTLY A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE OTHER OWNERS WINDSHIELDS.

Summary

TOOK A ROAD TRIP ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO GLACIER NATIONAL PARK IN MY 2021 PALISADE THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. DECIDED TO SAVE A LITTLE MONEY ON FLYING BY DRIVING INSTEAD, BUT NOW I'M REGRETTING THAT DECISION. A SMALL ROCK FLEW OFF A TRUCK THAT WAS PASSING ME ON THE LEFT ON I-90 AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD. ABSOLUTELY NOT MY FAULT AND NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT IT. THERE WAS A SPIDER CRACK. BY THE TIME I STOPPED AT THE NEXT EXIT TO GET GAS AND EXAMINE THE DAMAGE FURTHER, IT HAD ALREADY GROWN TO A RUNNER CRACK. IT WAS SATURDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE SO SAFELITE WAS NOT AN OPTION. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION IN KALISPELL AND BY THE TIME I GOT THERE IT HAD GROWN TO THE POINT THAT "PATCHING" WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. NOW ONLY A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT WOULD SUFFICE. I CALLED AROUND ON MONDAY AND GOT THE CHEAPEST QUOTE FROM SAFELITE. AFTER TAX IT WAS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $713 FOR THIRD PARTY GLASS. THE OEM WINDSHIELD, WHICH THEY RECOMMENDED, WAS $1400. I OBVIOUSLY OPTED FOR THE THIRD PARTY OPTION. I ASKED ABOUT THE CAMERA CALIBRATION FEE. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO IT FOR $300. I CALLED A DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULD DO IT FOR $250. SO I'M GOING TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED BY SAFELITE AND HAVE THE CAMERA CALIBRATION DONE BY A LOCAL DEALER. ALL TOLD IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT $963. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ROAD TRIPS BUT SEEING HOW RIDICULOUS FRAGILE THE PALISADE WINDSHIELD IS MAKES ME MORE APT TO KEEP IT GARAGED AND JUST FLY NEXT TIME. REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

Summary

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH. A SMALL STONE KICKED UP AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD IMMEDIATELY. THIS RESULTED IN A SPIDERWEB THAT AS OF NOW HAS STRETCHED APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES ACROSS. THE SOUND WAS STRANGELY LOUD. I'M NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR A FULL REPLACEMENT FOR A BACK ORDERED WINDSHIELD OVER AN SOMETHING THAT AT MOST SHOULD HAVE A CAUSED A CHIP IF ANYTHING. I CAN HEAR THE CRACK SPREADING AND AM CONCERNED FOR THE OVERALL INTEGRITY OF THE GLASS.
