2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

A ROCK PUT A CRACK ACROSS OUR WINDSHIELD IN A NEW VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING IN 65 MPH HIGHWAY ZONE. THE CRACK STARTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND STRETCHES TO THE PASSENGER SIDE.

PALISADE SAT IN GARAGE FOR 6 DAYS..DROVE OUT TODAY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. DEALER FOUND SUPERFICIAL CHIP THE SIZE OF A PIN HEAD. POOR QUALITY WINDSHIELD

VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 64/65MPH AND UP. NOT SURE IF DRIVESHAFT OR TRANSMISSION. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A TSB BUT WILL NOT HONOR IT. I HAVE ASKED 2X FOR DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TO EVALUATE THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HONOR THIS TSB. I HAVE SEEN ON FORUMS OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH CARS MADE IN DECEMBER 2019. IT IS PAINFUL TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS THE DRIVESHAFT, WILL IT BREAK? WILL THE TRANSMISSION FAIL? THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASED NEW AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I CANNOT GET HYUNDAI TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE SENT EMAILS SAYING TOUGH LUCK. THIS IS ANYTIME YOU ARE DRIVING ON INTERSTATES OR HIGHWAYS WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 70MPH..AT AROUND 64/65 CAR STEERING WHEEL, SEAT, FLOOR VIBRATES UNLESS YOU GO BELOW 63MPH. HAPPENS EVERY TIME. FIRST TIME WAS DRIVING HOME FROM DEALER ON HIGHWAY--BEEN REACHING OUT TO HYUNDAI USA SINCE JULY BEEN TO DEALER IN JULY, AUGUST...BUT ALWAYS TOLD APPOINTMENT WILL BE TWO WEEKS TO 6 WEEKS AWAY.

X2 THE AUTOMATED EMERGENCY BRAKING HAS ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON. 1ST TIME DURING A RAIN EVENT THE AUDIBLE ALARM, HEAD-UP DISPLAY AND AUTOMATED EMERGENCY BRAKING ENGAGED. DURING THIS EVENT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN ON, THEY WERE ON AUTOMATIC, I SWITCHED TO MANUAL THEY STILL WOULD NOT WORK. SHORTLY AFTER IT STOPPED RACING THEY BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THE EMERGENCY AUTOMATED BRAKING ENGAGED I WAS ON I-70 NEAR SPFLD. OHIO. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING FAST 65-70 MPH, I WAS IN LEFT LANE, HAD A NEARER WALL TO MY LEFT, SEMI TO RIGHT, PASSENGER CAR TO THE FRONT AND SEMI TO MY REAR, THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY OVERALL BEAUTIFUL DAY. WHEN IT ENGAGED ONCE AGAIN ABRUPTLY BRAKED (SAME ALARMS ENGAGED). THIS TIME WITH THE SEMI TO MY REAR IT SCARED ME SO BAD I FELT AS IF I WAS GOING TO GET RAN OVER BY THE SEMI. IN BOTH CASES THE BREAKING WAS ABRUPT AND QUITE AGGRESSIVE, BOTH EVENTS LASTED VERY BRIEFLY 1-3 SECONDS ON THE HIGHWAY INCIDENT I DID FEEL THE BACK IN WIGGLE IT DID NOT BREAK LOSE YOU COULD JUST FILL IT KIND OF HARD SWAY LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT TO LEFT CANNOT REMEMBER THAT EXACTLY. IT CURRENTLY IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE REASONS REPORTED ABOVE AND SERVICING. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE INCIDENTS.

SUV HAS LESS THAN 4K MILES DRIVING DOWN A 35 MPH ROAD FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED. ITS BEEN ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AND STILL NO ANSWER ON WHEN I WILL GET THE SUV BACK. CALLED CORPORATE THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT I DID NOT TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I DID CALL THE DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT REPLACE WINDSHIELDS. SO WHY WOULD I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IF DO NOT REPLACE IT?

WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AFTER A SMALL PEBBLE HITS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN THE HIGHWAY.

WINDSHIELD IN OUR BRAND NEW PALISADE HIT BY A SMALL ROCK ON THE FREEWAY WHICH IMMEDIATELY LED TO A 12" CRACK. THAT CRACK HAS NOW SPREAD TO ENCOMPASS 1/2 OF THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE KIA TELLURIDE BUT DIFFERENT PART NUMBER. KIA IS COVERING THEIR TELLURIDE CUSTOMERS WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT WHILE THEY INVESTIGATE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY AND SAFETY OF THIS WINDSHIELD.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED TWO WEEKS AGO ON 9/6/2020, WHILE I WAS CHANGING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK STRETCHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO JUST PAST THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD IT REPLACED FOUR DAYS AGO ON 9/11/2020, AND IT IS CRACKED AGAIN STARTING IN THE SAME AREA WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE.

I HAVE HAVE OWNED THE PALISADE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AND HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 EPISODES WHERE THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHEN STRUCK BY A VERY SMALL PEBBLE. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS OVER A 35 YEAR PERIOD AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ISSUES LIKE THESE. THE GLASS APPEARS VERY THIN. THIS IS NOT SAFE!

WIND NOISE / WHISTLING WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OVER 45MPH, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE - BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS FRONT DOORS. VEHICLE ALSO HAS A GARLIC SMELL AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, SMELL MAYBE SOME TYPE OF CHEMICAL.
