2022 Hyundai Palisade SUV FWD

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that after his wife started the vehicle there were several warning messages displayed on the instrument panel including the check engine light, traction control, fuel saving, forward collision, and master warning lights. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who discovered that the electrical wiring harness had been chewed on and damaged by rodents. The wiring harness was replaced, and the failure was remedied. The contact was informed that because the wiring harness was manufactured using a soy-based material the rodents would chew on the wiring harnesses. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,332.

This is horrible and a disaster waiting to happen. Had the vehicle for one week. First snow storm was driving and the wipers stopped working. Most likely due to the poor design of the wiper system. Had to pull over on a highway in a snow storm and dig out the snow from the well where the wipers sit. This is unacceptable and something needs to be done about it. The entire wiper system needs a revamp ASAP.

I was driving on freeway and a small rock or something made a low sound impact with my car’s windshield resulting into a crack. There was traffic on freeway so car wasn’t driven above 40mph speed. The windshield appears to be super thin, and probe to these issues. This thing isn’t being covered by Hyundai and is first in my driving life of 9 years. This is first time with Hyundai, lexus and Mercedes didn’t have any low quality windshields.

2022 Palisade, Less than 3000 miles and this happens. The dealer said “sorry, but it’s road hazard” I’ve owned other vehicles and have driven in interstates with plenty of trucks with things hitting my windshield (previous cars) and I have never in my life seen a windshield crack so easily. The most infuriating part is that the road was clear, there is no way a rock could have hit my car, I wasn’t driving through any underpass nothing to have caused it, where I could have been like fml Debris from a truck. I love my palisade but I was not surprised when I did some research and saw that they are having issues with the 2020 and 2021? windshields cracking easily and have a lawsuit for “fragile windshield” I have filed a complaint and opened a case with Hyundai! I talked to Safelite and an Autobody shop and was told that a windshield should not have cracked so easily. I’m so irritated, especially because it can’t be repaired, the whole windshield would need to be replaced.

Sunroof shattered. We were traveling on I70 in eastern Colorado. The temperature outside was just below freezing and the temperature inside was set to between 72 and 78. We heard a loud bang and we were showered with broken glass. My wife, two sons and I received minor cuts. My wife possibly got some glass in her eye but seems to have gotten it out with no ill effect. While I was very startled I didn’t swerve. If I had, we would likely have lost control of the vehicle. We were traveling at freeway speeds and I think we would have been seriously injured or killed if this had occurred.

Rear differential failed and locked up at speed. No vehicles were behind at the time of the incident but could have easily caused a collision since the break lights weren't activated. Dealership confirmed the rear differential failed. Unable to inspect the components and the differential is going to be shipped to the manufacturer without being opened by the local dealership. Minor shudder felt a few moments prior to the complete failure and lock up and no warning lights came on before or after the incident.

A small foreign object hit the top center of the windshield immediately causing a crack about 10 inches. Within a few days the crack has expanded across the passengers side almost measuring about 2 feet. It seems the windshield is very fragile and not safe for vehicle operation.
