Vehicle was purchased new in June 2026. Within approximately six weeks of ownership, I am on my third windshield. Two windshields have fractured after minor impacts from small pebbles or road debris.  Incident 1 occurred on or about June 11, 2026. The impact was not audible and was not noticed at the time it occurred. The damage was discovered later as a spider crack approximately the size of a coin, originating from a single point of impact. The crack subsequently propagated well beyond the initial impact point. The windshield was replaced with OEM glass.  Incident 2 occurred on July 21, 2026. Light road debris struck the windshield during normal driving, again producing an initial spider crack roughly the size of a coin at the point of impact. This crack likewise spread beyond the initial damage. The windshield again requires replacement.  In both cases the initiating impact was minor - in the first instance, not forceful enough to be heard from inside the vehicle - yet each produced a spider fracture that propagated rather than remaining localized. Two windshield failures from low-energy debris strikes in six weeks is not consistent with normal glass performance.  The windshield is a structural component of the vehicle and serves as the mounting point for the forward-facing ADAS camera. Glass that fractures and propagates this readily from routine road debris presents an unreasonable safety risk: it obstructs the driver's forward view, compromises occupant retention in a rollover or frontal collision, and requires repeated ADAS recalibration.  No crash, fire, or injury has occurred. This failure pattern appears consistent with numerous existing NHTSA complaints regarding Hyundai Palisade windshields across multiple model years.

HYUNDAI PALISADE 2026 VISIBILITY/WIPER

I am reporting multiple recurring safety concerns with my 2026 Hyundai Palisade.  Loss of acceleration: Under heavy throttle, the engine revs to approximately 5,000 RPM but the vehicle does not accelerate as expected. This has occurred repeatedly and appears more likely after the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature. During one incident on the highway, I needed to accelerate quickly to avoid surrounding traffic, but the vehicle did not respond as expected, creating a potential safety risk. An authorized Hyundai dealership inspected the vehicle and reset the transmission adaptive values, but the condition remains.  Lane Keeping Assistance: The Lane Keeping Assistance system consistently positions the vehicle toward the left side of the lane instead of properly centering it. The issue has been reported to the dealer, but the condition remains unresolved.  Power second-row seat: The power second-row captainâs chair can continue moving while folding, creating a hand-crush hazard if a personâs hand is in the path of the seat. It also interferes with proper third-row seat operation. This issue has been reported to the dealer and remains unresolved.  These issues have been reported to Hyundai and remain unresolved after dealer inspections. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I have documentation and video evidence of the acceleration concern.

HYUNDAI PALISADE 2026 LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST

I just purchased a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Limited Edition Sunday, June 28,2026 from Tomball Hyundai. Today, July 3, 2026 I was PARKED in a parking lot not near anyone, sitting in my running vehicle & heard a crackling noise. I looked back to see my rear window shattering but still in tact, but just crackling all the way across the entire window. Then while still parked, I started seeing parts of the rear window fall out and on the ground and into the car.  I called my sales manager at the dealership and he told me to take a photo and drive straight to the dealership. Glass was falling out and into vehicle as I drove. I arrived and was told the service manager would have to call someone to see if they are going to pay for it or not. I havenât even had the car for a week. I was parked, and it just shattered. Not moving, nothing hit it or was even nearby. I feel this is a defect and have seen numerous reports online of the same thing happening to others.  I researched online to see this was a very common issue/defect in 21-25 models, along with 2026 models.

The wireless charging spot is overheating and causing phones to be overheated as well.   I had to turn off the wireless charging pad due to it being extremely hot to touch and causing my phone to also be extremely hot to touch.  Concerned for device damage as well as a fire risk for the vehicle.

HYUNDAI PALISADE 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

We are currently on a road trip. Fortunately we were in a 55mph zone and not going faster. While driving on the highway, the hood released from the latch and popped open. Fortunately the secondary latch caught it and we were able to pull over safely. I canât imagine if we were going faster if the secondary latch wouldâve withheld it. Very scary incident
