2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

DRIVER SIDE WHISTLE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IF THE WHEN THE WIND IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TOT BE LIMITED TO HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ONLY LOW WHISTLES IN THE CITY. IT DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY WHISTLING WHEN THERE IS NO WIND, TAILWIND OR HEADWIND. THE WHISTLE WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY IS SO LOUD IT IS DISTRACTING AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING THEREFORE A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER SAY IT IS BEEN RESEARCHED AND IS HARD TO REPRODUCE THEREFORE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEO FILE FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO THAT I CAN UPLOAD SOMEWHERE OR SEND.

NEW 2020 PALISADE GOT A CRACKED WINDSHIELD WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF PURCHASE (300 MILES) FROM A TINY PEBBLE AT 30 MPH ON A SIDE ROAD. REPLACED ON 9/17/2020. A SECOND CRACK APPEARED YESTERDAY (1/10/21) ON THE REPLACEMENT WINSHIELD AT 6351 MILES. NOTHING WAS HEARD OR SEEN TO CAUSE THIS ONE AGAIN DRIVING G ON A SIDE ROAD. SO I HAVE HAD TWO BROKEN WINDSHIELDS ON THIS NEW VEHICLE IN A VERY SHORT TIME UNDER LIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS.

WIPER SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE BUILT IN PROTECTION FOR THE MOTORS THAT WILL STOP THEM ANYTIME SNOW BUILDS UP IN THE WINDSHIELD WELL. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THE WINDSHIELD AND WINDSHIELD WELL ARE COMPLETELY CLEARED PRIOR TO STARTING A DRIVE. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE, CLEAR THE SNOW, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO START THE WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. AGAIN, TO BE CLEAR, ALL SNOW WAS REMOVED FROM THE WINDSHIELD PRIOR TO DRIVING.

BOUGHT CAR IN AUGUST 2020 IN JUST A MONTH OWNING IT ROCK CHIPPED THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A HUGE CRACK. TOOK THREE MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT. WAS FIXED MID NOVEMBER. NOW A MONTH LATER NOTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND IT HAS ANOTHER CRACK. IT WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING DURING SNOWFALL, SNOW ACCUMULATED OVER WIPER AREA AND BLOCKS WIPERS FROM MOVING. WE HAD TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAY IN MIDDLE OF SNOWSTORM AND CLEAR THE WIPER AREA. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY. THE WIPERS TURN OFF IF THERE'S EVEN A LITTLE AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE, AND THE HOOD DESIGN ALLOWS FOR BUILD UP ACCUMULATION OF SNOW WHERE THE WIPERS GO.

INTERMITTENT WHISTLING SOUND AND EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE. APPEARS TO ORIGINATE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS/WINDOWS. THIS MAKES DRIVING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH

THE CAR WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY. THE WEATHER DURING THE DAY WAS 65 BUT THEN FROZE AT NIGHT. SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT MY ENTIRE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THERE WAS GLASS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, IN THE CUP HOLDERS, EVERYWHERE. THE ARM OF THE WIPER ALSO BROKE IN HALF. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING BEING THROWN OR ANYTHING HITTING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BESIDES THE WINDSHIELD BEING SHATTERED.

WE WERE DRIVING ON US-27 AND A PEBBLE SIZED STONE HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND HAD CAUSED A 18 INCH LINEAR CRACK ON THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD EXTENDING ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE FRAME.

HORRIBLE WHOOSHING SOUND COMES THROUGH BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS WHEN GOING 50MPH OR ABOVE. HYUNDAI HAS KNOW ABOUT IT SINCE EARLY THEIR AND ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN; HOWEVER, THEY LATER RETRACTED IT WITH NO ADDITIONAL NEXT STEPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY AND HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED / CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER. THAT SAID, THE DEALER WILL NOT TAKE ACTION WITHOUT ANOTHER SERVICE BULLETIN.

AT 5,600 MILES A CRACK DEVELOPED BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR ON THE WINDSHIELD. WITHIN A DAY THE CRACK TRAVELED FURTHER DOWN AND CURVED TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. UPON INSPECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD IT LOOKED AS IF A ROCK HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD BUT NOT BIG ENOUGH THAT WE RECALLED HEARING ANY IMPACT WHILE DRIVING. THE WINDSHIELD IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
