Wind noise and buffering in Hyundai Palisade

  • Thread starter Thread starter G-428871
  • Start date Start date
I just dropped my Palisade off to get the drriver's side window run assembly 82530-S80000 replaced. The wind noise is not severe and no whistle. The bulk of the noise is coming from the bottom area of the window next to the B pillar. Nothing mentioned about the TSB being pulled and I certainly was not going to mention it. Will update this thread when I get my vehicle back.
 
As to people reporting that Hyundai is no longer authorizing repairs based on the TSB, that's interesting.
So far, one person has claimed the dealer told them no because of that and several other dealers has performed the TSB repairs since. I would suspect that the first dealer is incorrect rather than the multiple other dealers being out of date.

I would tend to agree with you, although 2 persons have reported it in this thread: @Rickh and @njchpd
 
For what it's worth, as someone that came from a Subaru Outback with oil consumption issues that eventually led to a class action.....
People need to continue to push on Hyundai - TSB or not. Especially if you live in a state with lemon laws. Document everything. Call once a month. Worst case scenario, you protected yourself more than needed.
 
But that TSB does fix some people's cars.

You say you're going to get your windows "Tun" replaced. I assume you mean the glass "run". That's one of the items on the TSB. If it fixes your issue, will you agree that Hyundai and the TSB provided a fix? Until you have tried everything on the TSB, how can you claim Hyundai hasn't addressed your issue?

As to suing Hyundai, good luck with that. Every car has some type of recall or TSB, particularly new models. The Palisade is actually in better shape than many other new cars when it comes to how many issues have been found.

I totally get the frustration, but to post a message asking everyone to go complain, when Hyundai has clearly taken steps to address this is a little extreme. A lot of people have been satisfied with the fix. Others not. They may have a case if everything on the TSB has been tried.

As to people reporting that Hyundai is no longer authorizing repairs based on the TSB, that's interesting. I'd like to see what comes next. They obviously know it's a problem, so if I had to guess, they found something and they're going to provide a new TSB. Sadly, NHTSA takes forever to update their website, so we'll be relying on folks going to their dealerships. Please let us know. Which, by the way, shows that they are working on it and not ignoring it.

The focus is not if for an some owner the TSB worked and for some didn’t. The reason I am urging owners to complain is to show Hyundai the dissatisfaction in a spotlight so they make things happen faster and better than what they have.

It is not acceptable that some services centers don’t even know about the existence of the TSB. Also not acceptable that some people that have had all fixes in the TSB applied and still have the issue.

At the end is to make the owner community to have their voice heard in the spot light. The NHTSA website and Surecritic website provides those platforms.


And yes I meant the window glass runs.

I am showing up tomorrow at dealership opening, I’ll keep you guys posted about it.

Things happen faster? The TSB was out in November, 4 months after the car went on sale. 4 months is an extremely short amount of time to identify a potential customer issue, identify potential fixes (4 of them in the TSB), and release the TSB. Then it takes time for owners to bring their cars to the dealership, for parts to be shipped, for the repairs to take place... etc. I don't work in the car industry, but I am familiar with manufacturing, quality, failure investigation... etc. 4 months is pretty short to do all this, starting from a population of 0 Palisades in the US.

You're absolutely right that service centers should all be aware of this. But this is completely out of Hyundai's control. Yell at your dealership if they don't know about it. Not Hyundai. They all receive the same docs from Hyundai.

And owners' voice have been heard. That's the point I'm making. If they hadn't, there wouldn't be a TSB out.

As to people who have had all the fixes applied and still have the issue: how many is that? Because I'm not seeing many, if any at all (I could well have missed a post here or there though). Even you haven't had all the fixes applied.
 
I started noticing the wind noise as well on my side when i reach speeds of 70 and above. Its not very loud but I can definitely hear it. Sounds like a sealing problem by the window glass. Going to dealership as well to get it checked out.
I am picking up my car from the 3rd visit to the dealer to fix the whistling from the driver's side window when my car goes over 70 mph and the wind hits the car just right. The first time they ordered new parts for both front doors which included new seals on the front door windows. There was some improvement. The 2nd visit they just moved a strip they said was out of place in the upper corner of the door. There was a little more improvement. This time they had the car for 2 days and said all the new Palisades on the lot have the same noise and it's worse than mine because mine has at least been somewhat fixed. I had thought getting a new door would solve the issue, but that route does not seem to be the answer. It is really the only flaw in an otherwise great car. I am going to YouTube next to see if there's anything I can do on my own. I had planned on keeping the car for 5 years, but that may change now.
 
Just stopped by my Hyundai dealership today to schedule the TSB(s) for the wind noise repairs. The Service manager who was more than willing to resolve my issue and provide me with a loaner car said the TSB(s) have just been removed regarding wind noise repairs and at this point as of today 2/10/2020 he could not conduct TSB(s) repairs for the wind noise. Since he did not know why this just happened It was our guess that they have hopefully figured this out and will be issuing a new TSB(s) or possibly a recall. (I am not sure if they do recalls for wind noise since its not a safty issue) I think we will know a lot more in the next few weeks. My dealership acknowledges there is a wind noise problem and it needs to be resolved. I now have an appointment at the very end of this month and was told to call a few days before the appointment to confirm if they now have a viable fix-repair so I dont waste my time by bringing in my car then. They - We now must wait until the dealerships receive more direction from Hyundai Corp. Since this just happened it would be nice to know from other Palisade Owners if they hear or can comfirm the same thing from their dealerships. Lets keep our fingers crossed that this might actually be good news. I hope this is confirmed by more of you? If Hyundai gets this figured out the Palisade will be one incrediable car to own. FYI, if you look at the Kia Telluride I beleive on their forums you will see similar wind noise problems, makes sence since they have a lot in common.
Yes, today 2/11/2020 i was told the dealer won't take any appointment on this issue because it is known, and they are awaiting the permanent fix and likely recall. Just sit back and wait for the recall at this point. I've had mine for a week and the noise isn't too bad.. I can pretty much cut it off by using the internal air circulation option.. which then automatically turns off after a couple of minutes and the whistle comes back.
 
One more person saying Hyundai is no longer honoring the TSB, but he's saying that it's because there is more permanent fix:

I think RECALLS are for safety issues, which this isn't.

Our Palisade has the small sponge like material in both window channels. While it is like a temporary bandaid, and definitely works well to quiet things down, the whistle is still noticeable at times, and I hate to think that this is Hyundai's permanent resolution. We just purchased a few days ago and the build date is 11/14/19. This is very promising to hear about a potential full fledged recall or whatever they have in store.
 
Dont think a Recall is going to happen but hopefully there will be a permanent fix because: Frequently Asked Questions on Recalls When Is a Recall Necessary? › When a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment (including tires) does not comply with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. › When there is a safety-related defect in the vehicle or equipment.

True, but a high decibel interior level that prohibited a driver of hearing other critical sounds in the vehicle's surrounding area, could be interpreted as being unsafe in some cases.

That sounds like a HUGE stretch, considering that even with the wind noise, there are far louder vehicles out there.

We had intended on keeping this car for more than 5 years !!! Now I don't know what to do. It sucks that I am going to have to pay over $50k for a vehicle with known problems. The car just has a loud ride. Even if the windows are quieter, the road noise is loud too. They just made a "cheap" car. I love all the features and technology, but my rear seats squeak like hell, I have a bad door handle, wind noise is bad, and the ride is loud.

I wish I could just get all my money back minus $$ for the 1500 miles I have on it, and go buy an Aviator.

We have the exact same problem. The local service dealer has performed all of the Hyundai manufacturer's recommended solutions (trim around driver side window replaced, foam in door and replaced strip on door) and the wind noise improved for about one week. Then the whistle sound and loud wind noise returned. The dealer that is all they can do since no new "fixes" have been provided by Hyundai. This is very frustrating and irritating and takes away from all of the wonderful features about this car. We have opened a complaint with Hyundai and they indicated they will get back to us in a few days with a recommended solution. There is a strong "lemon law" in Oregon, where we purchased the vehicle. If they do not have a solution, we will pursue action under the law.

We had all of the TSB fixes applied and it reduced the sound for about a week. Thereafter, the wind noise was back, including the whistling sound. The service center at the local Hyundai said that is all they can do based on the notices from Hyundai. We asked about replacing the door and the response was they don't have authorization from Hyundai for that as a fix. Perhaps more people will be needed to prove that the TSB fixes don't always work.
