Bad customer service and towing light recall

Bought a new 2023 Durango so I could tow my boat. So much for the special order Palisade. The home link buttons do not illuminate at night, making it impossible to find the garage door button. This is the 3rd new Hyundai I have purchased and the last Hyundai I will ever own.

Great car for the money

Had the Palisade for two years and it is on par or better than the Toyota Highlander and Nissan Pathfinders that I have had. Roomy, comfortable and has plenty of zip to blend with traffic, yet gets decent gas milage. I highly recommend the car.

Solid Product

Have driven the car cross country numerous trips up to 12 hrs in a single day. The car has been exposed to many driving conditions from snow to monster pot holes. From mountains to demanding traffic, the vehicle is consistent, predictable, solid, and comfortable.

My Experience with the 2021 Hyundai Palisade: A Feature-Packed SUV with a Major Flaw

Hey everyone! Today, I want to share my thoughts on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade, an SUV I've been driving for a while now. Let's dive into the pros and cons of this vehicle, so you can decide if it's the right fit for you. PROS: A Solid SUV with Loads of Features First off, the Hyundai Palisade is a well-built, solid SUV that offers an abundance of features. It boasts a spacious interior with comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, making it a great choice for families. The infotainment system is user-friendly, and the long list of standard safety features gives you peace of mind while driving. Additionally, the Palisade offers a smooth, quiet ride with a powerful V6 engine under the hood. The fuel efficiency is decent for its class, and the available all-wheel-drive system provides added traction and confidence on various road conditions. Overall, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade is an impressive SUV that ticks many boxes for those looking for a comfortable and feature-rich family vehicle. CONS: A Serious Windshield Wiper Issue Unfortunately, there is a significant drawback that I must address: a serious windshield wiper issue that Hyundai discovered back in August 2021. The problem is that the windshield wipers can suddenly stop working, which is a major safety concern, especially when driving on the highway during inclement weather. Shockingly, this issue wasn't resolved until January 2023. During this period, many Palisade owners, myself included, experienced difficulties with the wipers, resulting in dangerous driving conditions. To make matters worse, when I took my Palisade to the Hyundai dealership's service department, they were unable to fix the problem, citing a lack of knowledge about the necessary repair. Conclusion In conclusion, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade is an attractive, feature-packed SUV that has a lot going for it. However, the serious windshield wiper issue and the delay in resolving it cannot be ignored. If you're considering a Palisade, be aware of this significant safety concern and ensure that the problem has been resolved before purchasing. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a precarious situation on the road.

very pleased

Very nice. I've been extremally satisfied with the ride quality and overall comfort. Noticeably better ride quality than the 2018 Highlander I replaced. Included navigation & system updates are a bonus and easy.

Good

I was not in the market to buy a new vehicle (even though I did not like the Santa Fe I had). After looking at, comparing, and driving the Palisade, I fell in love with it. My only disappointment was that the Palisade did not come equipped with Sirius XM. We travel a lot and it's nice to not lose stations in other states.

I love my car all the features and comfort. I enjoy long drives and this car delivers intelligence and else. The only that I’ll change is for my cluster to customize like an iPhone. That would be really cool.

Best Value Ever

My 2021 Palisade is all you can want in a vehicle and more. For the price Vs quality and options included it is one of the best values on the road. The safety features make my wife and I feel better when driving our grandchildren around. The electronics are amazing. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. A+

Has been a great car so far.

I do a lot of driving each year. About 35,000 miles. So far this has been a pleasure to drive. Only problems i have are wind noise, like a howling sound from the side mirrors on windy days when driving 75 or higher. Also, noise from the side windows. Rear windows are worse but i understand the newer versions have better glass so less noise. No break downs so far.

Bad wind noise !

The vehicle is great except for the wind noise and front windshield wipers in the winter time! Builds up too much ice !!! Lower windshield should be heated better ! Hard to upgrade the navigation system. Otherwise I like the car !

LOVE THE VEHICLE, HATE THE SMELL

OVERALL THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. DISAPPOINTED REGARDING HOW HYUNDAI HANDLED THE SMELLY HEAD RESTS. ORIGINALLY, I WAS IN THE MARKET FOR A GENESIS GV80, BUT PURCHASED PALISADE CALLIGRAPHY DUE TO NO AVAILABLE GV80 DURING THAT TIME. LOOKING BACK, I AM SATISFIED OF MY PURCHASE.

Good for the most part

I have some issues with the vehicle ride comfort (noise) and the navigation system (slow response). Otherwise, I really like the Palisade and I think its a great value. The options are fantastic and the styling is really nice.

Love everything about this SUV

Went car shopping looking to replace my Ford Explorer and a friend recommended that I also look at the Palisade. It was at least $5k cheaper and the interior was bigger and nicer. I loved all the camera views you have when signaling and backing up.

My first Hyundai has been a very pleasant experience. Comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Perfect vehicle to take long trips with, which is the primary reason we bought it. I hope it lasts for 200,000 miles, which is what I’ve kept my other vehicles for.

Beautiful car with amazing value!

I love my Hyundai Palisade. It’s a reliable car, and I got the best bang for my buck in comparison to luxury brands that provide the same features at a much higher price. I would buy my vehicle all over again.

Best Car Ever

I have owned Lexus, Hyundai, Mercedes, Mazda, Infinity, BMW, and Ford. This is my best car ever. My Palisade exceeded my expectations. It is the most comfortable and pleasant car I have ever owned. This car must be seen and driven to be believed.

Love it

I really do enjoy this car. It’s not perfect but it gets the job done. My family is safe and comfortable and that’s most important. I researched for a very long time for what I wanted. I looked at other cars but kept coming back to this. After about six months of searching, I finally caved and bought it :)
