The rear windshield shattered unprovoked. This was only 3 weeks after being repaired for the same issue. This is the third time.

My back windshield shattered unprovoked once again. This is the second time.
At 12,800 miles, while parked, a 18'' to 24'' windshield crack spontaneously appeared originating from the lower, passenger side edge, sloping up towards driver side. Nothing came into contact with the glass, and no chipped starting point is visible.
On interstate highway in South Dakota in September 2020, a small pebble came off the road surface creating a small chip on front windshield. Within one hour the windshield had a crack horizontally covering the entire windshield. This caused a complete one day delay on our vacation trip as the windshield had to be replaced at a local Safelite location. Certainly the delay was an inconvenience but more important we are concerned about our safety. This occurred when vehicle was less than 2 months old. Now it is July, 2021 and on another interstate a small pebble came off the road and caused a small chip in the lower left windshield. Next day the small crack started to run requiring a compete windshield repair AGAIN. If a small pebble can do this immediate damage, I fear the entire windshield could shatter causing a major accident or at worst a fatality. Safelite and Travelers Insurance have all documentation regarding the two incidents.
A small rock hit the windshield and a huge crack ran all the way across at 7,000 miles. Before I even Had time to replace the windshield another crack in a totally different location developed. Extremely unsafe!
The auto glass must all be restored. It’s essential that the windows/ windshield be in good condition at all times. Driving with a chipped or cracked windshield may put me and my passengers at risk for injury in the event of a rollover or collision. I do not feel safe with this windshield as the crack spread halfway within 24hours.
Vehicle windshield started cracking at the top middle and moved down the windshield. We did not notice any rock hits to have caused it. Within 2 days the crack spread across the windshield on the passenger side to the edge. It has now started to do the same towards the drivers side. From researching for a replacement windshield it seems like the windshield cracking is a major issue for this vehicle.
The windshield was hit with a pebble at a low speed of around 35mph. There were no other cars within about 3 car lanes, so this was not a high-impact situation. However, the pebble cracked still cracked the windshield. The dealers confirmed that this model vehicle has a high incidence of cracked windshields that could potentially lead to injury or harm. I am worried that a truly high-impact rock would be life-threatening to the passengers.
Windshield chipped and subsequently cracked with no noticeable impact with any rock or other object.
Was traveling in the subject vehicle at approximately 40 MPH on a well maintained county street when a small piece of gravel struck and cracked the windshield. The nearest vehicle was approximately 100 yards ahead, traveling in the same direction.
Was drive on the expressway at 55mph and something struck the windshield. A small chip was on the glass. I called my insurance company and they sent safelite glass to repair the chip. After trying to repair the chip a large crack developed and now the windshield has to be replaced. The windshield is not safe in my opinion. A small chip should not cause the windshield to be replaced.
Windshield wipers quit working all of sudden while driving when it's snowing causing one to pull off the road. It doesn't have too be a heavy snow fall. It's a very scary experience and has happened on several occasions during 2020 & 2021 winters
A tiny stone kicked up while driving on the freeway barely made a noise and cracked the windshield. I tried to have repaired and it spread. Can't believe how fragile the wind shield is from a be tiny stone. I took it to safelite and it immediately spread, now I have to replace ot
The windshield in this car is horrible! I've already had 2 cracks in it, one of which that has spread so bad it will have to be replaced. Only 15,000 miles on the car! Never had anything like this happen with any other car I've owned.
Several times when it snowed this winter, I had issues with the windshield wipers freezing up on me. This seems like a major safety concern and should be addressed immediately.
Small pebble struck windshield and large crack occurred on driver side. Had windshield replaced on 2/25/21. On 3/20/21, another large crack appeared on drivers side for no apparent reason.
Driving on a two lane rural road during a snowstorm, a town snow plow stopped suddenly in front of me. When I stopped short, snow slid off of my roof onto the windshield. When this happened, my wipers stopped working altogether, leaving me with no forward visibility at all.
With snow, the wipers just stop working if too much snow piles up in the well even when driving.
I have a 2020 palisade and I live in maine. Today was the third separate episode that my wipers completely disabled while I was driving. I spent quite a while prior to driving cleaning out the area near the wipers, and had to stop three times on my hour long commute to work to clear more ice/snow from the area where the wipers rest. The first two times I was unsuccessful and it was very difficult to see. The wipers were working when I left my house and became disabled as I was driving. The weather was a mix of sleet, rain and snow but with minimal buildup that would've caused the wipers to be disabled. I had no warning or visibility and an accident could have easily occurred. I have a video of the issue.
When snow builds up in the windshield wiper well the wipers stop working.
While driving a small pebble struck my windshield and immediately cracked it. This was not a rock, boulder or anything of size, it was a pebble. I have seen that other 2020 palisade owners have also had their windshield crack under these same circumstances. Its unreal that hyundai is allowed to sell cars with insufficient windshields with thin glass. This can potentially cause a safety hazard when your unable to see out of your cracked windshield at highway speeds.
Cracked driver window, no visual sign on ding
Vehicle winshield cracked while driving down the road. It just cracked without impact from an object. Initial crack was aprox 10 inches long and now extends around 16 located directly in front of driver. Manufacturer will not cover and cost is over $1,200 dollars. Have delayed due to cost but it is impacting drivers vision.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A small rice size pebble hit windshield and cracked windshield. Any normal windshield would not have cracked at all. Upon attempt to get it repaired, the crack spread 2 feet. These windshields are very poorly designed and have a major integrity issue.
