Windshield on other Palisade years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Many windshield complaints are about cracks owners can't explain: a line that starts at the edge of the glass, or a small chip that spreads. Nearly one in five of these complaints mentions it happening again or a second windshield.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the windshield (36 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the windshield and wipers covers the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The windshield wiper motor may operate intermittently or fail to operate due to snow or ice buildup on the windshield, causing the wipers to fail.

When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2023 Hyundai Palisade that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
This bulletin provides information regarding the rear door window glass appearing hazy or foggy when exposed to direct sunlight on certain 2023MY Palisade (LX2) vehicles.
What owners wrote
“Left home around 520am for work, within 1 mile sunroof exploded. It was approximately 30 degrees outside. I was fortunate because the cover was shut,so no glass hit me. Hyundai has replaced it at no cost. I was told there have been 36 instances and a service bulletin was put out.”

“While driving in snowy conditions my windshield wipers failed to work. They were working and then about 15 minutes in to my drive they stopped working. I had to pull off the side of the interstate with semi trucks flying by to pick the compacted snow out. It did not work and I slowly and very carefully had to continue until I was able to make it home and they were able to thaw.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 36 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
