WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING
I am reporting a safety-related defect with a 2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL. Within days of purchase (December 14, 2024), I began experiencing abnormal noise and vibration from the rear of the vehicle. The issue consistently occurs at highway speeds (45–55 mph) and over bumps. The problem has been present since the first week of ownership and has worsened over time. Multiple inspections confirmed the issue: •Selling dealership dismissed it as “normal tire noise” without proper diagnosis •Second Hyundai dealership confirmed severe abnormal wear (cupping) on all four tires •Independent inspection (Firestone) confirmed uneven tire wear, alignment out of specification, and ongoing vibration Despite early reporting, Hyundai Motor America has refused to provide a root cause diagnosis or take responsibility. They denied tire replacement, attributing the issue to tire wear. This explanation is not valid. Tires do not develop severe cupping shortly after purchase without an underlying defect such as improper alignment or suspension issues. This condition creates a safety risk: •vibration reduces vehicle stability at highway speeds •uneven wear increases risk of tire failure The issue affects all four tires and was present almost immediately after purchase, indicating a likely manufacturing or setup defect. The problem has been confirmed by multiple service providers but remains unresolved. The vehicle is not safe to operate under normal driving conditions. I request immediate investigation into a potential manufacturing defect affecting vehicle safety. Hyundai has been aware of this issue since the first week of ownership and failed to take corrective action. Despite multiple documented inspections confirming abnormal tire wear and vibration, no root cause diagnosis or repair has been provided. This raises serious concerns about a potential systemic defect affecting vehicle safety.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Occasionally, the car's RPMs fluctuate wildly, and the engine stalls; the surges in RPM lead to sudden, abrupt acceleration, which poses a safety risk to me and my family. The dealership has been unable to resolve the problem.

Vehicle is a 2025 Hyundai Palisade subject to Hyundai Recall 292, concerning improper deployment of the third-row side curtain air bags in a crash, in noncompliance with FMVSS 226 (Ejection Mitigation). Per Hyundai's recall notice, the remedy is still under development and no repair is currently available. The manufacturer has advised owners to continue driving while awaiting the remedy. The safety concern is significant because an infant is regularly transported in the third row of this vehicle. In a side-impact crash, improper side curtain air bag deployment increases the risk of injury or occupant ejection — a risk that falls directly on the person seated in the affected row. With no remedy available, owners have no means to mitigate this risk other than ceasing to use the third row entirely, which is not a reasonable long-term solution for a three-row SUV purchased specifically to accommodate additional family members. Regarding the specific guideline questions: the defect is a manufacturer-identified noncompliance and has not been (and cannot be) reproduced or inspected by a dealer, because no diagnostic or repair procedure exists. There are no warning lamps or pre-failure symptoms, as the defect would only manifest in the event of a crash. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance, as no crash has occurred. I am filing this complaint to formally document the safety risk while a remedy remains unavailable, and to request that NHTSA prioritize expedited development and deployment of the fix.

My 2025 Hyundai Palisade has multiple open safety recalls that have not been repaired and make the vehicle unsafe to operate. The dealership confirmed safety recalls effect my vehicle and my car is currently at the dealership since April 3rd. The first recall 283, involves the seat belts in the 1st and 2nd rows. Parts were ordered on January 20, 2026, but the repair has still not been completed after several months. The second issue is Recall 292 involving the ejection mitigation system and defective 3rd row airbags. This defect can allow rear passengers to be ejected from the vehicle during a crash. I have been informed that there is currently no remedy available for this recall. Hyundai has failed to provide a repair within a reasonable time, and one of the defects has no available fix. I do not feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle due to these unresolved serious safety issues. Hyundai provided me a 2024 Sante Fe loaner vehicle in which is currently under safety recall for seatbelts and has no other loaners available for me. Hyundai USA, case manager [XXX] , case #XXX has denied buy back without explanation. My vehicle is currently not drivable, unsafe, and no remedy available. I want a buy back to be able to purchase a new, safe vehicle for my family. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am less than 8 months into a brand new vehicle that has had and has major safety recalls with no remedy in sight. I bought this car for safety and driving it while seatbelts and ejection mitigation have all failed NHTSA standards is horrifying for me and my family.

This complaint is a follow-up update to my previously filed complaint, NHTSA Complaint No. 11726321, filed on March 23, 2026, regarding two open safety recalls on my 2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium, VIN [XXX] . I am filing this updated complaint to report that a SECOND failed repair attempt has now occurred on the seat belt recall (NHTSA Recall No. 25V607 / Hyundai Recall No. 283). UPDATED STATUS OF SEAT BELT RECALL (25V607): First repair attempt: January 19, 2026 at Liberty Hyundai, Mahwah NJ (Invoice No. [XXX). Technician confirmed open recall. No correction made. Parts specially ordered (RC283-S8500-QQH Seat Belt Buckle Kit). Parts were not available. Second repair attempt: April 2026 at my servicing Hyundai dealer. Technician again confirmed open recall. Seat belt buckle parts remain on order and are still not available. No correction made. Two documented failed repair attempts now on record. UPDATED STATUS OF AIRBAG RECALL (26V034): As of the date of this complaint, Hyundai has still not developed a remedy for the third row airbag FMVSS 226 violation. No repair has been attempted or completed because no fix exists. This recall remains completely unresolved. SUMMARY: I purchased this vehicle on [XXX] from Maxon Hyundai, Union NJ. This is my primary and only family vehicle. I have children who regularly use the third row. After two separate dealer visits spanning more than three months, neither safety recall has been repaired. Hyundai has been unable to provide parts for the seat belt recall and has no remedy developed for the airbag recall. I am formally requesting that NHTSA: 1. Note this updated repair history in connection with Complaint No. 11726321 2. Escalate pressure on Hyundai Motor America to expedite parts availability for Recall 25V607 3. Continue monitoring Hyundai's progress on developing a remedy for Recall 26V034 (FMVSS 226 violation) 4. Consider whether Hyundai's ongoing failure to remedy these safety defects warrants INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOI

Hello, I would like to report the rental company that rented us the car with 2 open recalls. The name of the company is NU car rental locating at 2900 SE 6th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. It rented us a Hyundai Palisade with the plate number [XXX] from April 5 to April 10th, 2026. They knew that we needed a car for 6 people and that the 3rd row was going to be used. And the 2nd recall relates to the use of 3 row seats. Please see the rental agreement as a proof. I know the same company in Orlando was under federal investigation for the same issue. To my knowledge, rental companies are prohibited from renting cars with open recalls by the federal law. Please investigate this company.

The current no. 226 EJECTION MITIGATION RECALL has me scared to drive the vehicle for it's intended use as a Family car transporting 7 people which are all children. The fix from the manufacturer/dealership is taking to long. We are lucky we have not been in an accident. I believed my Family was safe in this vehicle but now know we are not. What a waste of money I have borrowed for this car. Paying on something that is not safe and how I risked my grandbabys possibly being ejected from my vehicle if there was to be an accident.

UNKNOWN I am making complaint of the 3rd row airbags not passing federal inspection. I have not been in accident, but at this point I am very scared to drive my vehicle. I am trying to work with Hyundai Motor Company Corporate to find another solution, since there is no remedy available and they do not know when it will be available. I was told to not put anyone in the back seat, but I purchased the vehicle for 3 rows because I need 3 rows for my family. I feel that myself, and others, were mislead when purchasing or leasing any 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade. If we would of have known, we would of never purchased the vehicle.
