Noises And Leaks

What Owners Say

Other noises & leaks problem

"The plastic components of the sun roof froze then cracked during thawing and became inoperable. The warranty didnt cover the parts or labor and the fix did not improve the trade-in value. The repair has caused wind and leaks and weeks in the dealership shop (waiting on parts and then the fix). I will probably trade this car before the winter since the replacement parts are also plastic."

Anonymous A., DE (2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 3.8-L V6)
