When snow accumulates in the wiper wells the wipers spontaneously STOP. This has happened to me on multiple occasions. Most recently (2/07/22) while driving in the dark. Suddenly the windshield is covered with snow and unable to see. Was lucky to pull over safely and took 45 minutes to clear the wells while in danger of being run over in the dark.

After a couple of hiccups, good to go!

I bought this vehicle at this time to take a family of eight on summer vacay. Three small kids fit in the very rear seat well. Three average adults on the middle bench? Not as well. But, doable. And luggage for that many is limited to three carry-ons and a couple of small duffels. The car drives very well. Composed, quiet, comfortable with plenty of power for the mountains. I couldn't be happier with two exceptions: One, it's the first car I ever paid sticker price for. (But, after much searching most dealers were charging $3,000 over sticker.) Second, at 500 miles the car started leaking coolant thru the exhaust. WTH? Turned out to be a faulty heater hose. Disaster averted!

Palisade SEL review

I’ve had my Palisade for 5 months and it was one of my best choices this year. I always drove a Tahoe loaded and this year I test the Tahoe, Telluride and Palisade and the Telliride and Palisade where close in the drive and price but the SEL with the comfort package had easier controls and the same ride. The Tahoe was about 20k more expensive, had a shorter warantee and they haven’t really changed much over the past 10 years I highly recommend test driving one and you won’t believe this is the Hyundai we knew years ago. They’re now making a product that is better than Chevy, GMC, Toyota (for this size suv), and the other dealers who typically had better ones and I always paid more for the piece of mind. This is not a cheap SUV, for roughly 40k I got a fully loaded SEL with heated leather, all power and safety you’d want in a high end SUV. Even the little things are built well. They heat the second row seats and the third row is leather. It has a touch screen but they didn’t get rid of the knobs for simple things like radio or heat controls so it’s easy to drive and in the recent snows the H track reminded me of my Jeep years ago, it modifies the weight to the wheels not slipping without any noticeable movements...you just don’t spin wheels often. I have three kids and two large dogs and we all fit with ease.

Roomy & Economical

We wanted to get something a bit larger than our Toyota 4-Runner, and man it is roomier. Lots wider, longer and tons of cargo space, and it gets 20% better gas mileage. Tons of power, and that AWD knows how to pull into the curves. We'll be driving up to our cabin with 3 dogs and 3 people and a bunch of equipment and supplies to get it ready for summer rental.

2 months BRAND new, had to tow it to dealership

I LOVE MY CAR!!!! Palisade won me at the first test drive. I test drove others but this was IT. I bought it brand new in February and Friday, April 30th... it stopped accelerating. I was at a greenlight and it made a loud sound and stopped and stopped it accelerating. my whole car shook.. I thought the car behind me hit me. I pulled over and it made the noise again, I pressed on the break and it moved very then stopped accelerating again. I put it in reverse and it jolted when shifting gears. I had it towed back to Hyundai. I'm sad because I LOVE this car and it only had 14 miles on when I bought it... it now has 4,456... still very low....I wasn't expecting car trouble after 2 months. 5 stars before car trouble.
