2023 Hyundai Palisade: windshield wiper failure

Filed Jun 1, 2026 · Visibility · TX

The wipers stopped working midway and they wouldn’t come back on until 15 minutes afterwards. It was pouring down rain and the visibility was terrible and couldn’t see anything in front of me. Our safety was at risk because of the wipers and windshield. We just got our vehicle on 5/12 - and on 5/20 it first happened then took it in - got a loner car - picked up the vehicle 5/21 and on 5/23 the wipers stopped working again and our safety was at risk and visibility was awful. On our vehicle has been at the dealership since 5/25 and haven’t heard from them yet.

AFTER REMOVING snow from my windshield, the left (driver's) side wiper is not moving. I'm trying to make an appointment with Key Hyundai of Milford, CT - the dealer does not have an appointment until February. This is a real safety issue.

Driving in heavy rain, wipers quit. No snow, no ice, just heavy rain. This creates a potential for a fatal incident. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes after quitting and upon turning wipers off and back on, wipers reset and begin to work again.

This past weekend my family and I were driving in wet snowy weather in Colorado. We had the wipers set to the "Auto" position and everything seemed to be working. While driving I stepped on the brake and snow from the top of the vehicle slid down onto the windshield. All of a sudden the wipers stopped working. They were stuck halfway on the windshield. I tried to turn them off and on but nothing worked. Luckily I was able to safely pull off the side of the road. I cleared the snow from the windshield and then the wipers worked again. About an hour later I was driving on the freeway in snowy weather and the same thing happened again. The wipers suddenly stopped working. However, this time I was in heavy traffic and there was no safe place to pull off the interstate. I was able to look through a small area on top of the windshield and drove about another mile and half before I could find an exit to pull over. I cleaned the snow from the windshield but the wipers still did not work. I then opened the hood of the vehicle and continued to clear snow from below the windshield wiper arms. Finally the wipers began to work again. This is a HUGE safety issue. I could have easily been in an accident because of not being able to see forward. And if I were to stop suddenly, someone could have easily ran into the rear of our vehicle. The next business day I contacted my local dealership and informed him of the incident. I also informed him that there was a previous recall on the windshield wiper arm on this vehicle that I had replaced in July 2023. He indicated that the recall had nothing to do with the wipers not working in snowy weather and that I was welcome to bring the vehicle in to have the wipers inspected. I did that that same day. They inspected the wipers and informed me that the bolts holding the wiper arms were tight and that the wipers were working normally. There was no warning lights or other symptoms prior to this incident.

Recalls not being done! I am writing to complain about the inadequate and unsatisfactory service I received from the Temecula Hyundai service department on several occasions. The last one crossed the line and is a cause of concern; a huge safety and liability issue. On July 20, 2023 I brought my vehicle in for the driver wiper recall. I was told it was done and it reflected on my profile. After repeated incidents at this location I decided to get my vehicle serviced at a different location. On November 16, 2023, I dropped my vehicle off for the electric oil pump recall where they also suggested to address the windshield wiper. I told them that had been taken care of at the Temecula dealership but they proceeded to show me that while they logged the work in the system, the job was never completed; my palisade still has the old wiper part that was to be replaced. I wonder if this is standard practice at the Temecula shop? That’s extremely concerning as it poses a safety risk if recalls aren’t being properly addressed. I find what happened to be unacceptable and a huge safety and liability concern. I request from you to address this issue the best way possible. I hope that you will be able to find a satisfactory solution very fast.

We were driving in a snow storm with kids trying to get home and all of a sudden our wipers stopped working and the snow completely covered our windshield. We couldn't see anything and we were in the middle of the road blinded by the snow, not knowing where to go, or stop and how to go get home. My husband had to stop in the middle of the road risking our lives just to clean the windshield. It was covered in snow again almost instantaneously and became impossible for us to get home. This is extremely unsafe that the wipers stop working whenever it snows. This was the worst incident that happened to us but everytime it snows the wipers stop working and we have to clean the bank behind the wipers to get them to work again. There must be a recall for 2023 Palisades as well because they haven't fixed the problem from the recall of the 2019 models and Hyundai must be penalized for ignoring such essential and important safety feature despite knowing it for years...
