VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
We were driving in a snow storm with kids trying to get home and all of a sudden our wipers stopped working and the snow completely covered our windshield. We couldn't see anything and we were in the middle of the road blinded by the snow, not knowing where to go, or stop and how to go get home. My husband had to stop in the middle of the road risking our lives just to clean the windshield. It was covered in snow again almost instantaneously and became impossible for us to get home. This is extremely unsafe that the wipers stop working whenever it snows. This was the worst incident that happened to us but everytime it snows the wipers stop working and we have to clean the bank behind the wipers to get them to work again. There must be a recall for 2023 Palisades as well because they haven't fixed the problem from the recall of the 2019 models and Hyundai must be penalized for ignoring such essential and important safety feature despite knowing it for years...
