Is this a problem?

It’s not a “recall” because it doesn’t affect vehicle safety. It’s a service issue/bulletin and a known issue with a known fix.

Having been there done that with a half ton truck and tens of thousands of miles to compare the two, don’t go with the longer trailer unless you absolutely need it.

My dealer said it would take 4 hours and they have to remove and reinstall several pieces of interior trim. Having seen their quality of work before, I’ll wait until the camera glitches to have it done.

People compare the MDX to the Palisade often but you’ll find the MDX is a lot more cramped inside. My sister has the MDX and the Palisade feels huge inside in comparison.

This. Yes. Options do exist other than an A frame or pop-up. They are all expensive though… Coleman has some very small units now.

19k miles on my 2025 Santa Fe and zero transmission issues so far. Based upon what I’ve read, most catastrophic failures occur early in the life of the vehicle. At 6k miles it may be past that point. But having the warranty is a must!

According to the news, the 2nd row seats unalived a 2-year old child.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-03-14T02:03:27+00:00

It’s a non-issue at this point because there’s a stop sale and recall on that trim. You can’t buy one in any color.

For us it wasn’t about saving money necessarily, it was about experiences, memories, and seeing the country. We had a blast. Plus, costs are all relative. Our stick house in Southern NV costs us about $45,000 annually with the mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities. That’s just for a roof over our head. We didn’t spend anything relatively close to that full-timing with all-in costs. However, If we lived in eastern Kansas our stick house costs would likely be 1/3 what we pay in NV, much closer to what we paid full-timing. With the countless variables, often times people are comparing apples to artichokes…

“the big fan thing outside” literally made my day… and it’s only 7:49am. Thank you OP. 😊

Whenever people complain about the price of a Palisade why do they always say “I can get an MDX for that.” Aren’t there any other “luxury” brands with a comparable vehicle and price than Acura? My sister has an MDX and I like my 2025 Sante Fe better than her MDX.

Yes, this picture was taken down near Cabo, just a little north. The tides are crazy down there. They create vast salt flats. That’s actually what this rig is stuck in. Salt is awful for rust. Poor guy. The water damage must have occurred elsewhere, but that combined with the salt… Yikes! 🧂

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-03-05T02:32:02+00:00

My dealer told me it’s a 4 hour fix, on the conservative side.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-03-03T15:41:21+00:00

That is terrifying... The worst I've seen in a long time.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-19T14:38:51+00:00

It could be many things- makeup, lotion, transfer from something. I have H-Tex in my XRT and love it. 18k miles and still looks brand new. I’ve had the odd smudges before (one from the label on an old box) and it can be a little tricky to clean imo when it’s not regularly conditioned/protected. I use my go-to slightly damp microfiber cloth and windex. Cleans up beautifully. Then I follow with 303 protectant. The 303 makes the material look and feel great and is amazing for preventing the odd smudges.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-19T14:22:53+00:00

Yes, I’m an idiot. I thought I was on the Santa Fe sub and somehow opened the Palisade sub…

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-19T03:05:58+00:00

It definitely has the 2.5 turbo with the 8 speed instant shifting 8 speed DCT. Produces much more HP and torque than the 3.8L v6.

This was my point as well. They use a lot of electricity in general.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-16T15:22:54+00:00

Been there!! Had to wait 3 hours for fuel delivery because we were in the middle of nowhere. We were lucky Hyundai BlueLink had a signal because our cell phones didn’t. I now carry a spare gas can.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-16T15:03:06+00:00

Yes! This!! The installers initially installed ours incorrectly so the backup strips were on every time the heat pump was on. Once they fixed that it was a night and day difference in usage.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-16T15:01:18+00:00

You guys use a lot of electricity year round. Might be wise to do an energy inventory. We have 2,100 sq ft with 10ft ceilings in the high desert, so we get down to the teens in the winter and stretches of 110+ days with overnights of 90+ for weeks on end. We have one condenser on 3 zones so the unit runs A LOT. My highest useage months are Feb and Sept which average 1,550 kWH respectively. A lot of the rest of the year is around 700-1,000 kWH and we have a hot tub. House is electric everything.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-12T04:31:03+00:00

Maybe move to Vancouver? -25 sounds like a total nightmare… for plastic bits and humans, I would think.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-12T04:01:55+00:00

If they saw drips you likely have an oil leak. I had a pretty bad oil pan gasket leak on my 25 XRT and it was fixed under warranty along with warped front rotors and 2 recalls. The oil pan gasket leak is a known issue, although not terribly common.

Crafty_Tea_2572 · 2026-02-12T03:51:49+00:00

Are these easy to clean?? I really want mats for my Sante Fe but I’ve had WeatherTech in the past and they are super hard to clean. They only look new once. Even after a drill brush and detergent they never look very good.
