Chronological view of owner reports
The second row windows in my Palisade are cloudy and hazy to the point that visibility is severely impacted in certain lighting conditions.
The second row windows behind the driver and passenger seat are hazy. They are not dirty. They haze at times makes the windows very cloudy.
Just purchased this car, attempted to clean the 2nd rear windows cause they look very cloudy when the sun hits them making it very difficult to see out of them. Apparently many others have this issues so I brought to the dealership but was told "windows are not covered under warranty". This is a huge safety concern, I cannot clearly view out the back windows under certain conditions and the dealership refuses to replace the windows. I attached a photo but my camera doesn't capture it as good as others have shared so I've shared something close to what I'm seeing as well.
Second Row Windows are hazy in direct sunlight making it difficult to see through the windows. The Second Row Windows are double paned with tint in between the two panes of glass. The design of these windows apparently causes the hazy glass appearance in direct sunlight. I reported this issue to Hyundai Customer Care on-line. They responded to take the vehicle to the dealer which I did. The dealer compared the windows to another car on the lot and it had the same defective hazy windows. They confirmed and reported the problem to Hyundai. Hyundai has not responded to the issue. This is an apparent problem for other owners of the Palisade as it has been discussed many times on-line in Palisade Forums.
2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy purchased Labor Day weekend 2022. Both 2d row side windows have a haze on them. This causes not only an obscured window but also a hazard when trying to see out of them.
2nd row windows on both sides are cloudy/ hazy. I have taken it to our dealer and they confirm that the windows are hazy.
2nd row side windows are hazy making difficult to see through
The 2nd row and rear windows are foggy/milky looking compared to the front windows.
Second row windows are milky/hazy in sunlight reducing visibility.
The acoustic laminated windows in the second row are hazy, especially in direct sunlight. IT appears to be an issue with the laminate and factory tint together, as my third row- non laminated windows are clear. This causes visibility issues in the back windows/blind spots as there is not a clear view from these windows. Dealer installed tint on the front windows (which are also acoustic laminated) also causes a slight haze, but the effect is much less so because those are only 35% tint. The darker factory tint in the middle row windows is by far the worst as far as haze is concerned.
The second row factory tinted windows have a hazy appearance, limiting visibility in sunny conditions. There is a sharp difference between 2nd and 3rd row factory tinted windows. The 3rd row is clear, the 2nd row has limited visibility when sun shines on it. The haze cannot be cleaned and seems to be part of the laminated windows.
Middle row windows are hazy, especially in the sun. This causes issues seeing clearly under the right conditions, causing safety concerns.
Both rear side windows have a significant haze/cloudiness that is unable to be removed despite heavy cleaning. It appears that the acoustic laminate layer within the glass is hazy, impeding the driver’s view when the sun hit the glass causing difficulty seeing other traffic or objects while driving.
Both rear windows have a hazy film on them making it difficult to see out. Front Drivers window also has excessive wind noise at moderate speeds (35-40mph).
Both Side Windows on the Back side of the driver ( between B and C Pillars) Have a Haze color, This is impacting blind spot visibility slightly
