LOL - proof will be in the action.

1) Cracked windshields - takes legal action to do what Kia has already done.
2) Garlic odor - takes cars.com Media-shaming Hyundai to get an actionable response to owners.
3) Wind noise - Hyundai tells owners “you’re dead to me” and stops TSB with no solution with over a years worth of disappointed owners.

No conspiracy theories needed. Hyundai is as lost as the owners who continue to support them. I hope they prove me wrong and fix all their issues.

What’s proving you wrong is all the quality surveys where they end up near or at the top. With a company of this size, there’s always going to be unhappy customers, and it’s impossible to catch every manufacturing issue. What the survey results tell you is that, by and large, they address them or don’t have them in the first place. It sucks that you got a bad one. Doesn’t mean Hyundai “is lost”. Another exaggeration. You don’t even own a Hyundai anymore. Move on. This bitterness can’t be healthy...

Actually you’ve got that wrong. Palisade was #11 out of 11 according to the JD Power owner’s survey. In fact, it was dragged down by some of the worst scores in the segment for quality and reliability.

I was talking overall, not just Palisade, since you made wildly exaggerated statements like "Hyundai is lost", or "Hyundai doesn't care about owners". Hyundai is near the top of all quality surveys in general. I told you before, nobody's denying there are issues, particularly on a first year model like the Palisade. It doesn't mean every Palisade has issues or that Hyundai doesn't care. Talk about issues all you want, but don't just make posts to bash Hyundai with those generalizing statements.

I thought the garlic smell issues were with the late 2020 and early 2021 model year vehicles. This would qualify as a second model year issue correct. As for exaggeration, the 77 score is by Hyundai Palisade owners. I don’t think exaggeration by me left them in 11th place. That would be Hyundai’s performance and enough owners who decided to #stopsettling.

Nobody said anything about the 2021 models having a smell issue. Only 2020s so far.

Your exaggeration happens when you talk about Hyundai as a whole, not just about the Palisade, such as when you say “Hyundai is lost” or “Hyundai doesn’t care”. And not all Palisade have issues. You exaggerate constantly. It’s kinda your thing. You have no sense of perspective.

It's hard to make love to a woman that's eaten garlic so I can only assume it's just as hard to drive a Palisade.

My Palisade has a garlic smell to it that won’t go away. It seems to originate in the back section of the car. I’ve parked it outside in the sunshine with all the doors and windows open for two weeks and it still won’t go away. I’m afraid to take it back to the dealership for this problem because they will probably just spray it with perfumes. Would love to get to the root of the problem.

We also have a smell, seems similar to poorly tanned leather to us. We have taken this back several times to dealer and they simply tell us they do not smell it which is BS. Once we left it overnight and asked them to keep it out in the sunshine as in hot conditions it is worse. When I came the next morning to pick it up, I found our Palisade under cover, sunroof closed and windows cracked - they said they do not smell anything; was so furious, I just drove away. I need to get the contact of Hyundai USA management to file a written complaint as this is a real problem. We keep our vehicles well cleaned and generally have a “new car” smell for a couple of years, not with this Palisade! Love the other aspects of the vehicle, but this smell may mean we never purchase another one or recommend to someone else. We will simply pay a lot more for a more reliable luxury brand after trying out Hyundai.

Did you see Post #34? Print the document out and take it to your dealer. They should be aware of the issue.

as discussed earlier, they deny any issues, but have its first service on Monday and will take the bulletin! Should not happen to begin with and definitely not have to PROVE MY CASE to the dealer - they are not known for excellent customer service.
