2021 Hyundai Palisade: windshield cracks

Filed Jan 18, 2024 · Visibility · CA

Windshield cracks under normal highway driving condition. Smaller rocks coming onto windshield are expected under highway driving conditions. Of all the 9 vehicles that I have owned previously none had this issue but with Hyundai Palisade the glass cracked very easily. I have small cracks on my windshield at multiple places and it appears that Hyundai has installed a thin windshield or a windshield not suited for highways in USA. Could the federal safety agency please investigate this?

While driving down the highway a truck in front of me slings a rock into my windshield. Watched this small crack run all the way across my windshield shortly after. These windshields are too fragile. I have never experienced this with any other vehicle I have owned.

Windshield has cracked twice in less than one month. Second time the car was not moving ( in parking lot) It appears there are many reports of this happening needs to be a recall. Imagine how easily it would shatter in an accident.

Windshield cracked without any impact. If there was an impact, it was very small as there is no sign of damage. (I didn't hear anything hit the windshield while driving) This seems to be a concern with many owners as seen in different forums. I have driven many different vehicles over the years with many rocks hitting my windshield in other cars with no damage. This needs to be looked into and make Hyundai responsible for fixing this issue.

Front Windshield cracked on the top right corner. The car has been sitting in my driveway since purchased in January 2021 with only 3250 miles so far. I contract Hyundai and they asked to take it to the dealership however nothing was done to fix it since the crack was larger than six inches. I was given a quote to replace a windshield for nearly $1500. Windshield cracking is an issue with Palisade as there are many people reporting the same issues where the Palisade windshield has cracked even from a small chip. It seems all of the people complaining on the internet are complaining about the same location being cracked on the windshield and then spreading. something needs to be done to fix it.

My car is 3 months old and has 2500 miles on it. The windshield has a huge crack across it. It happened while I was driving. I'm not sure if a small pebble hit it or if the temperature caused it. The windshield seems very weak.
