| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I PURCHASED MY CAR FEBRUARY 2020. IN MAY 2020, WITH APPROX 3,000 MILES ON IT, WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD. UPON IMPACT, THE CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE "ROCK POP" FIXED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED, OEM, BY THE DEALER. IN JUNE 2020, WITH APPROX. 5,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE "ROCK POP" FIXED AND WILL REQUIRE A SECOND OEM WINDSHIELD. ROCKS ARE GOING TO HIT WINDSHIELDS, BUT TO HAVE A CRACK IMMEDIATELY SPREAD IS NOT THE NORM. THE INTEGRITY OF THE GLASS SHOULD BE IN QUESTION. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,000 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | CRACKED WINDSHIELD BY A SMALL PEBBLE DRIVING 65 MPH. AFTER RESEARCH, THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ARE SUFFERING WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE HYUNDAI PALISADE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,400 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD AND IT CRACKED...LESS THAN 30 MINUTES FROM PICKING IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED THE FIRST WINDSHIELD THAT CRACKED FROM A SMALL PEBBLE. HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE DEFECTED WINDSHIELD. RESEARCH SHOW THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE DEALING WITH WINDSHIELD, WIPERS, AND WIND SOUNDS. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,100 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | 18' CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM AN UNDETERMINED SOURCE, NORMAL DRIVING. CRACK WAS NOTICED AFTER RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT, NOT PARKED UNDER ANY TREES. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 700 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | SMALL ROCK CHIP TURNED INTO OVER A FOOT LONG CRACK OVER NIGHT. THE CHIP MUST OF OCCURRED ON A SMALL 50 MILE ROAD TRIP AND THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THE SUN COME UP THE HEAT EXPANDED THE CHIP TO OVER A FOOT LONG. CHIP OCCURRED AT THE VERY TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE BLACK AREA, CRACK FORMED GOING DOWNWARD IN A J MOTION TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT QUOTED AND LOOKED AT. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $2,108 TO REPLACE!! THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW, 1,600 MILES AND HAVE OWNED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. I HAVE READ OTHERS CONCERNS ONLINE AND THIS IS WAY TOO COMMON AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THE WINDOW SHIELD AND REPLACE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,600 |
| Jun 2020 | STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | WHEN DRIVING I CAN HEAR WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ABOUT 60 MPH. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 200 |
| Jun 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 2100 MILES AND THE DIGITAL AND ANALOG SPEED ODOMETER BOTH STOPPED WORKING. THE GAS GAUGE ALSO ACTED ERRATIC. IT WASN'T SHOWING THE GAS AS FULL BUT THE TANK HAD JUST BEEN COMPLETELY FILLED (PICTURE HAS EXAMPLE OF BOTH). DEALERSHIP UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY AND RESET THE VEHICLE TO FACTORY SETTINGS AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I WORK FOR A CAR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT MANUFACTURING SUPPLIER AND IT IS BELIEVED THIS IS CAUSED BY SOFTWARE WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BECAUSE THE SPEED ODOMETER AND THE FUEL GAS AREN'T CONNECTED WITHIN THE VEHICLE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,100 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | THE WINDSHIELD ON THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE IN THAT ANY MINUSCULE IMPACT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO COMPLETELY CRACK IT. I HAVE NOW HAD TWO WINDSHIELDS REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST 5 MONTHS FOR PRESUMED IMPACTS THAT WERE NOT EVEN PERCEPTIBLE FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT EVEN CERTAIN IF THE CRACKS WERE IMPACT RELATED AT ALL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE YET TO OWN IT FOR A YEAR. THE WINDSHIELD ON THESE VEHICLES SEEMS TO LITERALLY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HIGH SPEED GRAINS OF SAND. MY FIRST CRACK COMPLETELY BLOCKED MY FIELD OF VISION AND MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE OVER 10 YEARS OLD FOR WHICH I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE WINDSHIELD, AND ARE STILL DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS AS THIS 2020 PALISADE NAVIGATES. THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE WINDSHIELDS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT UNLESS THIS IS THOROUGHLY REVIEWED AND INVESTIGATED. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 10,000 |
| May 2020 | VISIBILITY,VISIBILITY/WIPER | WINDSHIELD WILL CRACK WHEN BARELY HIT WITH ROCKS ON ROAD. I'VE HAD VEHICLE LESS THAN 10 MONTHS AND 1ST CRACK HAPPENED 3WEEKS AFTER I GOT VEHICLE. AFTER 2 ND CRACK, 1 MONTH LATER, I TRIED TO GET IT FILLED BUT IT STARTED TO RUN SO HE HAD TO STOP. SINCE THEN, I'VE GOTTEN 2 MORE CHIPS. THE PLACE I TRIED TO HAVE FILLED HAS NOW RAN COMPLETELY ACROSS THE CENTER OF MY SHIELD, ABOUT 2 FEET!!!! I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE ENTIRE SHIELD. I'VE HAD 2 GLASS REPAIR SHOPS SAY THEY WON'T TOUCH PALISADE SHIELDS BC THE GLASS RUNS AND BREAKS EASILY. I BELIEVE IT TO BE DEFECTIVE!!!!! I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A SHIELD IN 30 YEARS OF DRIVING AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE CRACK THIS EASILY. SOMETHING IS WRONG. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 500 |
| May 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEPT 2019, WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PARK AND YOU PRESS THE REVERSE BUTTON SOMETIMES IT TAKES TWO OR THREE TIMES PRESSING TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FLAT ROAD, ON A HILL IN THE CITY, THIS LAST TIME WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT DIDN'T GO AND WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE THINKING IT WAS IN GEAR IT JOLTED FORWARD AND WRECKED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR | Crash: Yes Fire: No | 16,000 |
| May 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | WIND NOISE BOTH FRONT WINDOWS ONLY WHEN A/C IS ON DURING DRIVING. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 50 |

| Apr 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | SCRATCHES AND HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,000 |
| Apr 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | EITHER A SMALL STONE OR BUG HIT MY WINDSHIELD ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE LOWER CENTER AREA AND WINDSHIELD NOW HAS A SMALL SEMI CIRCLE CRACK. WHAT EVER HIT THE WINDSHIELD WAS SO SMALL I COULD BARELY HEAR IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. I'VE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,500 |
| Apr 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MAIN TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. WE WERE AT OUR HOME IN WISCONSIN UNTIL OCT 30, 2019 AND IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO TOUCH ( NAVIGATION WOULD RESPOND TO VOICE ONLY). NOVEMBER 4 UNTIL APRIL 4 2020 WE WERE IN ARIZONA ( TEMP IN THE 65-75 RANGE)AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. APRIL 4 TILL PRESENT IT WILL NOT WORK IN WISCONSIN (TEMP IN THE 40-50F RANGE). ALSO SCREEN GETS VERY WARM ALMOST HOT TO TOUCH WHEN IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO TOUCH. HOPPING IT WILL NOT START FIRE BEFORE IT GETS FIXED. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,500 |
| Apr 2020 | AIR BAGS | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AIR BAG SYSTEM DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, DEALER AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY.*JB | Crash: No Fire: No | 100 |
| Apr 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER | 1) FIRST ISSUE WAS A CRACKED WINDSHIELD WITHIN THE FIRST 500 MILES. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, NO FOREIGN OBJECT, SUDDENLY A CRACK STARTED TO FORM. 2) SECOND ISSUE IS A BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM ALERT WHEN NO CARS ARE PRESENT. 3) THIRD ISSUE IS AUTOMATIC WIPER THAT SUDDENLY COME ON WHEN NO RAIN OR DEBRIS ARE PRESENT. 4) FOURTH ISSUE, BUT FAR FROM THE LAST, IS THE ONGOING WIND NOISE PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI CAN’T SEEM TO SOLVE. IT IS SO LOUD ON THE HIGHWAY THAT THE DRONE IS LOUDER THAN THE RADIO. I’VE MEASURED THIS AS HIGH AS 86DB. | Crash: No Fire: No | 500 |
| Apr 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | THERE IS AN L SHAPED CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 1,400 MILES AND NOW THIS LONG CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,375 |
| Apr 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. WENT HOME CALLED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP INQUIRED ABOUT MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT WINDSHIELDS WERE NOT COVERED. THE NEXT DAY THAT SMALL CRACK DOT GREW TO LINE CRACKS ABOUT 12-14' LONG. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND TOLD THEM THAT THEIR WINDSHIELDS WE'RE FAULTY AND NOT DURABLE BECAUSE THEY GREW INTO LONG CRACKS!!! I TOLD THEM THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT COULD OF HAPPENED SINCE WE HAVEN'T DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THIS QUARANTINE ISSUE, THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION WAS THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE CAR MIGHT OF CAUSED IT??? THEY SUGGESTED I FLIP THE BILL OR FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,400 |
| Apr 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, A SMALL PEBBLE STRUCK MY WINDSHIELD AND CREATED A 2 INCH "SPIDER" CRACK. THE SOUND OF THE IMPACT WAS MINIMAL AND HAD THE OBJECT THAT STRUCK MY WINDSHIELD BEEN LARGER, I BELIEVE THE OBJECT WOULD HAVE PENETRATED MY WINDOW AND POTENTIALLY CAUSED INJURY TO MY FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH MANY PALISADE OWNERS ON A FACEBOOK OWNERS FORUM, OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH CRACKED WINDSHIELDS FROM NOMINAL PEBBLE STRIKES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED PEBBLE STRIKES ON MY OTHER VEHICLES THAT SOUNDED LIKE A CANON BALL HIT MY WINDSHIELD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE AND THE PEBBLE THAT STRUCK MY PALISADE BARELY MADE A SOUND AS IT IMPACTED MY WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,500 |
| Apr 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | THE WINDSHIELD APPEARS TO BE VERY PROBE TO CRACKING. WHEN PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A SMALL PEBBLE ON THE ROAD BUT WASN'T LOUD ENOUGH TO NOTICED. IT WAS UNTIL LATER THAT WE SAW THE CRACK HAD EXPENDED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 140 |
| Mar 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | TERRIBLE WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW/DOOR HAPPENS WHEN AT OR OVER 60MPH. TOOK TO DEALER AND CLAIMED THEY CORRECTED, BUT NEVER WENT AWAY. NOW GOTTEN WORSE AND SAME ISSUES COMING FROM DRIVER WINDOW/DOOR. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,500 |
| Mar 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | A SMALL ROCK IMPACT AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD IMMEDIATELY SPREAD AND BECAME A LARGE SEMI-CIRCLE SHAPED CRACK. THERE WAS NO OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR BEFORE SPREAD. ATTEMPTS BY MY DEALER AND ME TO APPEAL TO HYUNDAI TO COVER THE REPAIR FOR THIS BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF RAPID CRACKS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE KIA TELLURIDE WERE DENIED. KIA HAS PROACTIVELY CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO INFORM THEM THAT THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE AND KIA IS COVERING THE COSTS FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD GLASS BEING USED FOR THESE COUSIN VEHICLES. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,860 |
| Mar 2020 | SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | WIND NOISE FROM ALL WINDOWS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30MPH. NOTICED THE WIND NOISE ON PICKUP OF NEW CAR FROM DEALERSHIP. SENT IN FOR 2 'FIXES' BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. 'WALK-IN' SEAT FUNCTION IN 2ND ROW WORKS BUT NO LONGER SLIDES FORWARD. ALL WHEEL HUBS HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST NOTICED THE RUST WAS ABOUT 4000 MILES. RUST LEAKS THROUGH THE WHEEL CAPS | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,000 |
| Mar 2020 | SEATS | I PURCHASED A NEW 2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL FROM QUIRK HYUNDAI IN BANGOR MAINE ON 3/06/2020, UPON GETTING IT HOME AND USING IT WITH MY CHILDREN, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WALK THROUGH SHOULDER BUTTON, IF PRESSED, WILL STILL CAUSE THE SEAT TO FOLD AND SLIDE FORWARD EVEN WITH A PASSENGER, AND IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THIS FUNCTION IS STILL ENABLED. I HAD MY 8 YEAR OLD TRIPLETS IN THE VEHICLE ON 3/07/2020, AND WE WERE DRIVING IN TOWN TO THE LOCAL RESTAURANT. CHILDREN, BEING INQUISITIVE, WERE INSPECTING EVERY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN THEIR REACH. ONE PRESSED THE BUTTON AND WE HEARD THE ELECTRONIC RELEASE, UNSURE OF WHAT THE SOUND WAS AT THE TIME, I DID AN INSPECTION LATER AND REALIZED IT WAS THE WALK THROUGH LATCH. I THEN RAN A FEW CIRCUMSTANTIAL EXPERIMENTS WITH MY ADULT SON TO TEST MY CONCERN THAT THIS FEATURE MIGHT CAUSE HARM IF ACTIVATED AT THE WRONG TIME. MY CONCERNS WERE CONFIRMED WITH THIS TEST. MY ADULT SON IN THE SEAT, PRESSED THE BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING 5 MILES PER HOUR, AND THEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. IN ONCE INSTANCE, HIS SEAT WENT FULL FORWARD AND HE WAS FORCEFULLY PROJECTED INTO THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HIM . I WAS ABLE TO DOCUMENT THIS AND HAVE FORWARDED THE VIDEO TO HYUNDAI USA, IT IS AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON YOUTUBE ONLY THROUGH THE LINK AT HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/A4-MSQZB-74. | Crash: No Fire: No | 416 |
