I have a Hyundai Palisade 2020 and the windshield is to week I replace twice already the Hyundai company have to do something with it..there's a lot claims with this model SUV
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.
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.
Noxious smell inside vehicle of garlic or off-gassing of chemicals. The smell is overwhelming and makes it impossible to use the Palisade until you have aired it out completely. Many complaints on this topic on message boards and no resolution for over 6 months. Hyundai won't permit us to return the vehicle and this smell could be connected to poisonous chemicals used in the production of the leather seating. An investigation must be completed as it presents a health and safety hazard.
Only 2,500 miles and needs a full windshield replacement. A small rock hit the window, a small chip which immediately spread into a crack across the drivers side of the windshield. And have to wait 6 weeks to get it replaced because the windshield is on backorder - there must be an issue that a brand new vehicle already has a backorder on a replacement windshield!

Inside of six months I have had two windshields that have had to be replaced. From the smallest chip the entire windshield spiderwebs and goes all the way across the windshield this is not normal and I am wondering what anyone is doing regarding this problem. The windshields are very thin and this appears to be a safety hazard. The literally watched while driving the small rock chip turn into a complete spiderweb across my window.
My wife stated when she got out of work and start driving she notice the front windshield has a crack next to the rear mirror. The vehicle was stationary all that time.
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.
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.
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.
Front windshield. While in motion we occurred a cracked windshield with only 1500 miles on the car. After initial window hit, the windshield began cracking rapidly.
Vehicle came with tow hitch system from the manufacturer. While using a trailer hitch the heat from the exhaust melted the back end of the car, heated up the cargo hitch to the point of making it hard to remove from car, and melting the cargo weather proof bag. This happened within a 2.5hr trip.
During a heavy rain storm went through a low lying area at low speed (25 mph) where several inches of water had ponded. The fca system slammed on the brakes temporarily even though there was no known obstacle. My guess is that the fca sensed the water as an obstacle causing the brakes to be incorrectly applied. Had someone been behind me, it could have caused an accident. The fca sensors are on the very bottom of the front so it is possible that the sensors were momentarily submerged.
Long crack in front windshield (half the length horizontally) occurred for no reason (no impact). Vehicle was parked/stationary night of 7/3 with no crack whatsoever, the morning of 7/4 had this huge crack.
I was coming back from the river on rice road (177) on Friday 6/26. Traffic was light and there was a car in front of me but quite a distance from me so when I heard the windshield crack, I was confused as to what it was. I chopped it up to far flying pebble that got me, no big deal I have insurance coverage to repair and fill in this small chip. I called my insurance and today 'safe lite ' came out and was doing the repair and it cracked halfway down to the driver's side. Never seen a repair crack that much that fast. I have had pebbles hit other car windshields and have been repaired with out issue. Even the repair person said this was not normal.
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.
