My driver windshield wiper stop working when driving. It was snowing out and it stopped working. Dealership has been notified. Put myself and my children in the car at risk because I was unable to see out the window. There was no warning light that came on, did not smell differently, just stopped working. Nothing has been inspected as it happened less than 24 hrs ago. Dealer has been notified. They said someone will call me back. Have not heard from the device manager yet.

Windshield wipers got crossed in the middle of snowstorm. Drivers side wipers not working properly since. The windshield wipers on my 2022 Palisade are crossing and failing in snow, which is the exact safety defect described in Recall 243. Even though it's listed as closed, the part has failed and it's a safety hazard. Now the cars wipers will not work properly in heavy rain or snow. Reached out to both local dealerships and Hyundai customer care. 1 local dealership refused to take the vehicle. Other local dealership was prepared to charge me to refix despite asking for a goodwill refix. Asked Customer care Hyundai corporate for a goodwill fix override and was not given one upon asking.

2022 Hyundai Palisade had issue with wipers (stopping at 5 inch from designated place), it was reported and repaired previously in 2023 by Hyundai Dealer. However, recently after cold weather, drive side wiper arm was bent inward and passenger side wiper was not working. It is physically impossible for some one to bend wiper arm inwards and provided Hyundai with pictures and Dealer is claiming improper use even when we didn't touch or changed wipers previously. There was a recall previously on this issue but don't remember if my vehicle is part of that recall

To date, the windshield has cracked and required replacement three times. This has happened in August 2023, Sept 2024 & May 2025. The first instance was caused by a small chip resulting from a visible impact. However, the subsequent two replacements occurred without any known cause or visible damage, suggesting a potential defect in the windshield's design or material integrity. This ongoing problem is not only inconvenient and costly, but also raises serious safety concerns. Windshields should not crack spontaneously under normal driving conditions. Is it the quality of the windshield or is this issue part of a larger defect affecting this vehicle model?

I was driving on [XXX] in Florida when it started raining heavily, I turned on my wipers when all of a sudden my drivers side wiper stopped working. My passenger side worked fine. My driver side wiper was recalled and "fixed" Nov 9,2023. Not even a year later it is not working again. This is something that is completely dangerous, not being able to us my wipers while driving when needed is horrible.

I had the driver-side wiper replaced in November 2023 due to a recall and have had an issue 3x since then. Twice, snow had accumulated under the wiper arm while driving and caused the wiper motor to stop. That is the exact reason for the recall but it continues to happen regardless. Then the other night while driving 70 on a freeway in heavy rain with wipers on full speed, the driver wiper started hitting the left edge of the windshield a few swipes, slowed down for a few swipes, then stopped completely in the lower position. Had to get off at the next exit as all attempts wouldn't get them working again. Two days later I was able to get into the dealership for a quick "tightening of the bolt" to get the wipers functioning again. The dealership said they knew exactly what the problem was due to so many people having this issue with needing the bolt tightened because it must have worked its way loose. The motor must be too weak and the replacement wiper arm has not remedied the occurrence, leading to some very hazardous situations.

When I use the windshield washer, the cabin is filled with fumes from the washer fluid. I have been sickened by the fumes with headache and taste of the fumes. It enters the cabin of the vehicle via the ventilation system. The dealer has thoroughly checked the ventilation system and has found nothing wrong. This is a design issue with the vehicle. The washer/ ventilation issue was addressed with the 2023 model. I was told by Hyundai Consumer Affairs Division there is nothing that can be done to resole my issue other than manually switching the ventilation by pressing the recirculation button before using the windshield washer. Hyundai Consumer Affairs Case#: 21145978. Others in the vehicle can smell the odor, but most are less sensitive to the fumes.

At just over a year old, I have experienced a CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I believe this was caused by a small pebble hitting the windshield but I do not believe that should have caused a cracked windshield on such a relatively new car.

Sunroof randomly shattered driving down the highway. I had the interior sunshade cover open, and glass went all in the inside of the SUV. Thankfully, nobody was harm but it was super scary. It sounded like a gunshot when it happened. I see that Hyundai doesn't cover this expense, and I had to go through my insurance company to make a claim. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE LOOKED AT. This is happening to a lot of other people. You would think this situation would be a recall matter, but apparently it's not.

This is in reference to Hyundai Recall Number: 243, NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-180 Took my Hyundai to dealership on 3 different occasions for the intermittent wiper not working properly. It activates indiscriminately on clear sunny days and doesn't react to rain hitting the windshield. Three different times I took to dealership for this same problem including the safety recall. The problem still exists. It is a safety hazard on rainy days in Florida.

I bought HD Palisade 2022 SUV on Jan 2022 at KOEPPEL Hyundai dealer locating LIC NY. Suddenly, radiator fluid is leaking from left and right corner as of Mar 18,2023 and couldn't run long distance because of this. I am a Uber driver for over 7 years in NYC. This is first happened during my driving for 40 years. I called dealer and they gave mw 1 weeks waiting time for check up and no idea even they have part or not. If they don't have it, I have to wait 1month (from my friend who bought same car and same month and same dealer). Is other way to repair this matter ASAP ? As a driver, I make ends meet by weekly basis.

If the weather is snowy, or there has been snow built up on the windshield the windshield wipers fail to operate until you pull over and clear the windshield cowl of 100% of snow in that area. This happens while driving and while parked. Imagine driving down the road in a severe snowstorm and having your windshield wipers just stop working on a whim, and you have to pull over to the side of the road, where there may not even be a shoulder to pull off to, so that you can clear the wiper sensor. Then 5 miles later you have to do it again because heavy snow built up.

2022 Palisade, Less than 3000 miles and this happens. The dealer said “sorry, but it’s road hazard” I’ve owned other vehicles and have driven in interstates with plenty of trucks with things hitting my windshield (previous cars) and I have never in my life seen a windshield crack so easily. The most infuriating part is that the road was clear, there is no way a rock could have hit my car, I wasn’t driving through any underpass nothing to have caused it, where I could have been like fml Debris from a truck. I love my palisade but I was not surprised when I did some research and saw that they are having issues with the 2020 and 2021 windshields cracking easily and have a lawsuit for “fragile windshield” I have filed a complaint and opened a case with Hyundai! I talked to Safelite and an Autobody shop and was told that a windshield should not have cracked so easily. I’m so irritated, especially because it can’t be repaired, the whole windshield would need to be replaced.

Windshield wipers stopped working while driving in a snow storm. You then have to pull off the road with little to no forward visibility. At one point my wife had to roll down the window and stick her head out to see to pull off the road. The wipers seem to pack snow into the area they park and then quit. It is very difficult to get them working again no matter how much snow you dig out of the area the wipers park in. This has happened three times so far this winter.

This is horrible and a disaster waiting to happen. Had the vehicle for one week. First snow storm was driving and the wipers stopped working. Most likely due to the poor design of the wiper system. Had to pull over on a highway in a snow storm and dig out the snow from the well where the wipers sit. This is unacceptable and something needs to be done about it. The entire wiper system needs a revamp ASAP.

I was driving on freeway and a small rock or something made a low sound impact with my car’s windshield resulting into a crack. There was traffic on freeway so car wasn’t driven above 40mph speed. The windshield appears to be super thin, and probe to these issues. This thing isn’t being covered by Hyundai and is first in my driving life of 9 years. This is first time with Hyundai, lexus and Mercedes didn’t have any low quality windshields.
