2021 Hyundai Palisade Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“I just purchased the vehicle and on the same day I was driving on the highway on my way home, I discovered a rock chip on the windshield, I did not hear anything impact the windshield but judging but not hearing any sound. The windshield seems to be very fragile compared to other vehicles I've owned.”

“Twice this has happened. My windshield wipers lock up and will not clear the window. It seems like there may be snow or ice below them where they tuck in when this happens, which is hard to clear out anyway. While I am driving, if any snow or ice comes down from the roof, they will lock up as well, and this has left me absolutely not able to see the road. It is a major major hazard. Luckily I have been able to pull off the road both times to clear the window manually”

“Driving down the highway at approximately 55-60 MPH. A small stone kicked up and cracked the windshield immediately. This resulted in a spiderweb that as of now has stretched approximately 12 inches across. The sound was strangely loud. I'm now responsible for a full replacement for a back ordered windshield over an something that at most should have a caused a chip if anything. I can hear the crack spreading and am concerned for the overall integrity of the glass.”

“We were driving at a slow rate of speed and a rock bounced up from a passing car, not even driving behind it but passing head on, and it cracked the windshield. These windshields seem to be extremely fragile and can't hold up to a simple rock or even pebble. In my experience, I have never had a complete crack like this and the windshield should be able to withstand or only present a rock chip that can be repaired versus replacing the entire windshield which is very expensive due to the calibration required for the safety features. …”

“Took a road trip across the country to glacier national park in my 2021 Palisade that I purchased brand new just a few weeks ago. Decided to save a little money on flying by driving instead, but now I'm regretting that decision. A small rock flew off a truck that was passing me on the left on I-90 and hit my windshield. Absolutely not my fault and nothing I could have done to prevent it. There was a spider crack. By the time I stopped at the next exit to get gas and examine the damage further, it had already grown to a runner crack. …”
