Either a small stone or bug hit my windshield on the highway in the lower center area and windshield now has a small semi circle crack. What ever hit the windshield was so small I could barely hear it when it happened. I've read other complaints about this same issue.
1) first issue was a cracked windshield within the first 500 miles. Driving down the highway, no foreign object, suddenly a crack started to form. 2) second issue is a blind spot warning system alert when no cars are present. 3) third issue is automatic wiper that suddenly come on when no rain or debris are present. 4) fourth issue, but far from the last, is the ongoing wind noise problem that Hyundai can’T seem to solve. It is so loud on the highway that the drone is louder than the radio. I’ve measured this as high as 86db.
Driving on the highway and a small pebble hit the windshield. Went home called Hyundai dealership inquired about my bumper to bumper warranty and was told that windshields were not covered. The next day that small crack dot grew to line cracks about 12-14' long. I called Hyundai and told them that their windshields we're faulty and not durable because they grew into long cracks!!! I told them that I didn't know how that could of happened since we haven't driven because of this quarantine issue, the only logical explanation was the pressure inside the car might of caused it"?" they suggested I flip the bill or file a claim with my insurance and pay the deductible.
The windshield appears to be very probe to cracking. When purchased our vehicle the windshield cracked from what appears to have been a small pebble on the road but wasn't loud enough to noticed. It was until later that we saw the crack had expended from the passenger side to the middle of the windshield.

While driving on the interstate at 65 mph, a small pebble struck my windshield and created a 2 inch "spider" crack. The sound of the impact was minimal and had the object that struck my windshield been larger, I believe the object would have penetrated my window and potentially caused injury to my front seat occupant. After discussion with many Palisade owners on a facebook owners forum, other owners are experiencing similar issues with cracked windshields from nominal pebble strikes. I have experienced pebble strikes on my other vehicles that sounded like a canon ball hit my windshield with absolutely no damage and the pebble that struck my Palisade barely made a sound as it impacted my windshield. I believe this is a major safety concern with my 2020 Hyundai Palisade.
A small rock impact at the base of the windshield immediately spread and became a large semi-circle shaped crack. There was no opportunity to repair before spread. Attempts by my dealer and me to appeal to Hyundai to cover the repair for this based on numerous complaints of rapid cracks for this vehicle and the Kia telluride were denied. Kia has proactively contacted their customers to inform them that they are looking into the issue and Kia is covering the costs for repair/replacement. Something is definitely wrong with the windshield glass being used for these cousin vehicles.
On 3/2/20 I was traveling at 49 mph on a city street a small pebble struck the windshield in the top right (passenger) side by the A-pillar. The next morning I had a 24 inch crack across the windshield.
While in motion on a highway a very small foreign object hit the lower side of the windshield in front of the driver. The sound of the hit was barely audible so the object had to be very small. I don't see how such a small object could break a windshield on a 2 week old vehicle
Less than 2 months into a brand new vehicle, the windshield cracked during a rainstorm on the highway along the line of the wipers. Nothing hit the windshield other than rain. The dealer is making us pay out of pocket for recalibration and tinting, despite the fact we have insurance. Safelite is replacing the windshield. It took 3 weeks to get the windshield. Also, the steering motor had to be replaced in less than 2 months.
