The windshield is extremely fragile and prone to cracking which requires full replacement. I only have 350 miles on the car and already have a nick from normal everyday driving. I didn't even hear or see any hit to the windshield but it still got nicked. The windshield is unsafe plus it's extremely expensive to keep replacing it constantly. I am scared to drive the car due to fear of windshield damage.
2020 Hyundai Palisade visibility complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 131, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle has 5,000 miles on it and has had the windshield crack twice at lower speeds (less than 50mph) with small pebbles being kicked up off the city streets. Each crack resulted in a full windshield replacement .
Small pebble hit windshield while driving called satellite to fix and while finishing the fix the compound popped out of small crack and the windshield cracked more all the way across.
About a month after buying the vehicle, with less than 900 miles, a large crack developed behind the mirror of the windshield that was noticed while the vehicle was parked. We had not been hit by anything noticeable or audible, and by the time we were able to see the crack the windshield was ruined. We noticed a very small blemish in the dark area near the mirror that may have caused the crack. Our local dealer was not willing to address the windshield issue so we took it to another dealership, while on vacation, by request of hyundai of north america. The second dealership saw the blemish and said it could not be replaced by warranty. I escalated the case through hyundai of north america and they could do nothing else since the dealer said it cannot be covered under warranty. So, if this windshield can be ruined from an insignificant blemish, there is something wrong with the windshield.
I have a safety concern with the fragile windshield. The glass is very easily cracked which creates a safety concern if the car is ever in an accident. My window began cracking without with impact while driving. The crack went all the way down to the dash and across the middle.
Palisade windshield cracked while driving, didn't hear/see anything even hit window. Under 3500 miles and have to completely replace windshield and re-calibrate sensors now.
Rock hit windshield on highway. I've read that there are a significant number of cracked windshields on the palisade.
The vehicle is two weeks old with less than 1,000 miles on it. The windshield cracked down the center. The vehicle was sitting in my driveway, it was hot and the AC was on full. I am thinking this is due to difference in temperature?
Had a small rock hit the windshield while driving on the interstate in traffic. My speed was maybe 50 MPH. The impact created a very small mark on the windshield. Within 5 minutes, a crack formed that was about 3 inches long. By the end of the day, the crack was over a foot long. I never even had a chance to get the windshield fixed.
2020 palisade with 15,000 miles hit by a rock, leaving 2 decent sized cracks about an inch and a half in diameter on the passenger side. The windshield took a week to arrive and be replaced, which in the meantime the crack expanded almost the entire length of the windshield, crossing over to the driver's side. The windshield was replaced and taken to dealership to have sensors recalibrated. In less than a month from replacement, a pebble hit the windshield, this time on the driver's side. Now having to replace a second windshield in less than a month. An easy online search shows that this has been a very common event among other 2020 palisade owners.
My windshield literally just cracked. No visible sign of damage or a rock hitting it. It happened while I was sitting at a stop light.
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.
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.
Cracked windshield by a small pebble driving 65 MPH. After research, thousands of consumers are suffering with the purchase of the hyundai palisade.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I haven't been driving my vehicle very much at all and pushed up to adjust my rearview mirror and it cracked my windsheild.
Scratches and hairline cracks in the windshield.
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.
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.
There is an l shaped crack in my windshield. My vehicle only has 1,400 miles and now this long crack in the windshield.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On 3/2/20 I was traveling at 49 MPH on a city street a small pebble struck the windshield in the top right (passenger) side by the a-pillar. The next morning I had a 24 inch crack across the windshield.
Windshield cracks easily. Kia has the same issue with teluride and kia is replacing for free if there are cracking issues.
While in motion on a highway a very small foreign object hit the lower side of the windshield in front of the driver. The sound of the hit was barely audible so the object had to be very small. I don't see how such a small object could break a windshield on a 2 week old vehicle
