I completely agree, pictures don't show the great looks... when they pulled mine to the front of the lot for me, people came walking over and were saying how much they loved the color.

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Congrats. She’s beautiful. But why the hell would anyone put a Steelers plate and ruin the looks. That team has an old, fat and slow quarterback on it.

The awful smell that Hyundai refused to do anything about even though they know it is a problem. Shame too because the interior was much nicer.

What is the smell? Was it just something on yours or the interior in general?
Car and driver did 2 articles on it, but I hadn't researched the vehicle smell, so I was ignorant.

How long after you purchased did you notice the smell? I have a buddy in the market for a 3 row SUV and I recommended the Palisade to him
Just wanted to feel like a winner! 6...Congrats. She’s beautiful. But why the hell would anyone put a Steelers plate and ruin the looks. That team has an old, fat and slow quarterback on it.

I thought it was bad Body Odor that a salesman had rubbed on the seat after they filled it with gas... then when the sun hit it... OMG. Kept windows open in the garage, but then my whole garage smelled bad. Using the car became irritating and I was pissed getting into my beautiful $50,000 trash can... had to take the depreciation after 1700 miles when the Telluride came in because I couldn't even enjoy the Palisade.

So you noticed the foul smell as you were going through the test drive (I assume) and purchasing process? I want to be clear I'm not judging; just trying to get a sense of how soon this was an issue

Wow thanks for sharing that car and driver article. That’s crazy and sad for those owners. Sounds like maybe a 2020 problem only hopefully? I looked at a calligraphy because I thought if I can get it for below MSRP I’ll just get one of those instead. These had a 5k markup too! Lol.
No, honestly it was so very faint at first on test drive. I thought it was the salesman and didn't want to be rude. The dealership knew about the problem and admitted that they had been briefed on possible solutions in a meeting, so my guess is that it was all aired out prior to the test drive. Once home, thought it would fade like bad new car smell. After febreeze, activated charcoal bags, air fresheners, baking soda, and Hyundai saying to go to dealership and dealership saying go through Hyundai, I peaced out after 1700 miles.

Sounds like the right decision. After dropping that kind of cash and you can't even be happy in the vehicle, you gotta do something about it. Sorry that was your experience, but on the bright side, you scored yourself a new wolf gray Telly!

I may have asked you already - apologies if this is a replay - but how dark did you go with the tints?
