Thank you for sharing this information ,Just got my Palisade back from the Dealer who performed the Air Bag recall. I was able to obtain a copy of the attached TSB that addresses the "whistling/wind noise from the door glass area". Hope this information helps.
I just got a new Palisade. When i test drove another palisade before buying this unit, i did not hear much road noise through driver window.
But in this Palisade when i dive >40 MPH it feels like air trying to gush in type of road noise. Is this normal?
I'm not sure that would be causing the noise. The diffuser just changes how the air is flowing, but it flows either way if the roof vents are open. I think the recycling of the air causing the noise to go away points to something else.Mine was annoyingly loud. As luck would have it I figured out what is causing this on accident. It's a problem with their outside air exchange because when I press the recycle inside air button the wind noise stops within about 3 seconds. Give it a try, wait until you hear the noise consistently and press the inside air button. Before I figured this out accidentally I was convinced my window or door was Improperly sealed but was baffled that I couldn't feel cold air anywhere (live in MN). I think it is the result of their new rear venting system that I'm willing to bet runs right up the frame on the driver side. Here's how Hyundai describes this new vent system:
"Palisade also features an industry-first, innovative new roof vent diffuser design that can provide a focused, partially-diffused or fully-diffused stream of air to rear passengers. This new diffuser vent design provides quieter rear air conditioning airflow, draft-free operation, more uniform distribution of air and the capability for a focused stream of air whenever desired."
Sometimes industry first isn't necessarily a good thing....I'm at the dealership now trying to get this sorted. Fingers crossed.
Recycling of the air is far more likely to lower the internal pressure in the cab. If you're pumping in fresh air constantly, you're building air pressure. This has to go somewhere, and while there are normal vent paths to the outside, if it is easier to sneak past a poorly sealed driver side window, you'll hear whistling there.I'm not sure that would be causing the noise. The diffuser just changes how the air is flowing, but it flows either way if the roof vents are open. I think the recycling of the air causing the noise to go away points to something else.
The dealership said this has happened to many Palisade's and has to do with the drivers side mirror. They ordered a full replacement for the mirror/housing but it is on backorder through December. I'm pretty sure this won't solve it but I'll let them give it a go.
But one of the fixes per the TSB is to replace the outside mirror assembly, so they must think that is the actual fix, no?So the dealership took the TSB and basically threw it away and ordered a new driver's side mirror? Hmmmm
I recommend going by build date rather than purchase date. The build date can be found on the plaque/label on the inside of the driver's door.Has anyone who just received their Palisade during the month of November have any wind noise?
