2020 Hyundai Palisade

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.

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.

WIND NOISE FROM ALL WINDOWS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30MPH. NOTICED THE WIND NOISE ON PICKUP OF NEW CAR FROM DEALERSHIP. SENT IN FOR 2 'FIXES' BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. 'WALK-IN' SEAT FUNCTION IN 2ND ROW WORKS BUT NO LONGER SLIDES FORWARD. ALL WHEEL HUBS HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST NOTICED THE RUST WAS ABOUT 4000 MILES. RUST LEAKS THROUGH THE WHEEL CAPS

I PURCHASED A NEW 2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL FROM QUIRK HYUNDAI IN BANGOR MAINE ON 3/06/2020, UPON GETTING IT HOME AND USING IT WITH MY CHILDREN, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WALK THROUGH SHOULDER BUTTON, IF PRESSED, WILL STILL CAUSE THE SEAT TO FOLD AND SLIDE FORWARD EVEN WITH A PASSENGER, AND IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THIS FUNCTION IS STILL ENABLED. I HAD MY 8 YEAR OLD TRIPLETS IN THE VEHICLE ON 3/07/2020, AND WE WERE DRIVING IN TOWN TO THE LOCAL RESTAURANT. CHILDREN, BEING INQUISITIVE, WERE INSPECTING EVERY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN THEIR REACH. ONE PRESSED THE BUTTON AND WE HEARD THE ELECTRONIC RELEASE, UNSURE OF WHAT THE SOUND WAS AT THE TIME, I DID AN INSPECTION LATER AND REALIZED IT WAS THE WALK THROUGH LATCH. I THEN RAN A FEW CIRCUMSTANTIAL EXPERIMENTS WITH MY ADULT SON TO TEST MY CONCERN THAT THIS FEATURE MIGHT CAUSE HARM IF ACTIVATED AT THE WRONG TIME. MY CONCERNS WERE CONFIRMED WITH THIS TEST. MY ADULT SON IN THE SEAT, PRESSED THE BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING 5 MILES PER HOUR, AND THEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. IN ONCE INSTANCE, HIS SEAT WENT FULL FORWARD AND HE WAS FORCEFULLY PROJECTED INTO THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HIM . I WAS ABLE TO DOCUMENT THIS AND HAVE FORWARDED THE VIDEO TO HYUNDAI USA, IT IS AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON YOUTUBE ONLY THROUGH THE LINK AT HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/A4-MSQZB-74.

WIND NOISE FROM FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER DOOR/WINDOW. INITIAL PROBLEM WAS LOW HUM/WHISTLE FROM DRIVER'S SIDE INTERMITTENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAS HAPPENED MORE RECENTLY AT 50 MPH. MORE RECENTLY A HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE IS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW AREA AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 30 MPH. BOTH SOUNDS ARE VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER.
