NHTSA Complaint #11487701 — 2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE

A rock hit the windshield of my new 2022 Palisade while driving on the highway and caused a small chip on the driver's side about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom. I contacted the dealership right away because when I purchased my vehicle I was told they would repair chips at no charge. When I was making the appointment to get it repaired, the technician stated that the Palisade windshields are very fragile and sometimes when chips are being repaired the entire windshield will crack. However, if I did not get the chip repaired my windshield would crack anyway. I had the chip repaired and within 24 hours my windshield cracked down the middle from the top to 1/2 down the windshield - nowhere near the chip. Then within 2 days the crack turned and went all the way to the edge of the windshield on the passenger's side. A few days later a new crack formed in the middle of that crack and went down towards the bottom of the windshield and is coming back towards the driver's side! I have not been hit by that many rocks! I am reporting this here, with the dealership and with Hyundai in case there is some kind of recall on the 2022 Palisade windshields. It will need to be replaced soon because I am afraid it is going to crack all the way to the driver's side edge and fall in on me and my passengers.
