2020 Hyundai Palisade: engine and windshield top the owner complaints

Engine oil leaks and windshield cracking are the most frequently reported problems on this vehicle, each accounting for a roughly equal share of owner complaints. Suspension vibration at highway speeds and seat belt buckle accessibility round out the most-reported issues. Across all categories, owners describe symptoms appearing early in ownership, sometimes with dealers declining to honor related service bulletins.

Visibility/Wiper0 23%
Owners report windshields cracking spontaneously along the wiper line during rain, without any impact, shortly after purchase.
Suspension0 12%
Owners report a persistent vibration that begins at specific highway speeds, with dealers in some cases declining to evaluate or honor the manufacturer service bulletin addressing it.
Seat Belts0 9%
Owners report that the seat belt buckles on the captain's chairs are recessed deeply into the seat body, making them difficult or nearly impossible to use, particularly with booster seats and for children.
Electrical System safety 8%
The fewest of the top five: 41 reports (8%), but tied to 4 injuries and 1 crash. Check that the electronics and driver-assist features work as expected.
