SERVICE BRAKES
When driving at a low speed and over an uneven driving surface attempting to brake, the abs system unnecessarily engages and causes the car to lock up and skid instead of braking. This almost caused a car accident where my car would not stop like normal and almost skid into a stationary vehicle with an increased stopping distance until it stopped with a jolt. There is a class action lawsuit on this issue in Ohio and New York.

SUSPENSION
I'm also a victim of Hyundai's defective Rear suspension. Another complain fully encompasses my situation and feelings. I and others have been replacing rear shocks every 10,000 to 20,000 miles due to failure. The upper trim models will use a self-leveling shock in the rear suspension, part number(s) 55367-S8BDO right side and 55367-S8BBO left side. The lower model trim uses a larger coil spring and non-self-leveling shocks, with no issues. The failure happens within just a few thousand miles. Search web forums for Hyundai Palisades and NHTSA you will find hundreds of issues. The model years affected are 2020 through 2025. The 2026 has completely changes the rear suspension setup and eliminated the self-leveling shock. It appears IMO the manufacture is counting on the warranty expiring and or the resale market to correct their problem. Hyundai refuses to recall the vehicles and correct the problem. They will change the shocks with the same faulty product biding their time. The third most common critical reason for a car accident cited in the NHTSA report was a combination of “steering/suspension/transmission/engine-related problems.” This combination category accounted for just 3 percent of the traffic accidents cited in the report. Part of the reason why these mechanical failures are rarely cited as the critical reason for a car accident is that they’re harder to document and identify post-crash. Blown tires & worn brakes are easy to spot, but problems with the suspension caused by wear and tear are harder to sort out from the damage incurred in the crash. Steering and suspension problems can cause a loss of control over your vehicle at inopportune moments. Transmission and engine problems could keep you from being able to accelerate quickly if the need arises—leaving you stranded in an intersection with oncoming traffic and at risk of a car accident.

SERVICE BRAKES
I just had at least my 6th occurrence with my new 2025 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Night Edition where, while braking at a slow speed, my abs kicked in and wouldn’t stop my car despite pushing the brake to the floor. Finally it abruptly stopped. In all situations, the road surfaces seemed to be slightly uneven or slightly bumpy. Each time this happened, I was traveling very slow and no faster than 10-15 mph. I’ve had my car for less than 5 months and now has happened at least 6 times. I nearly missed rear ending the vehicle in front of me in all cases because the abs was aggressively pulsating but not stopping until almost hitting the vehicle in front of me.

SERVICE BRAKES
The brakes on the car almost caused an accident where we would have rear ended the car in front of us. We were in a line of cars exiting a gravel parking lot traveling 5-10 mph. I pressed on the brake pedal as the car in front of us began to brake and our antilock brakes engaged and our car continued to travel forward towards the car in front of us. Luckily the car in front of us pulled out onto the road and we did not hit them. Similar issues have happened a handful of times since buying in March of 2025. I am an experienced driver and am familiar with how antilock brakes work and when they should engage, these instances have not been such cases. It seems it will only be a matter of time until this causes accidents. Another instance was when approaching a stop sign and hitting rumble strips in the road. This improper engaging of antilock brakes can very easily lead to car not stopping in time putting myself, my family, and other vehicles traveling on road at risk. I called the dealer and they said there is no issue and the antilock brakes are acting as they should. I have owned several cars over my lifetime and never had antilock brakes engage in these same instances. Upon investigation online, other drivers are experiencing similar issues and Hyundai is denying the issue. I have an appointment scheduled to get it looked at. There were no warnings, messages or other symptoms of the problem. How many people are going to have to report the same issue or how many people are going to have to be hurt before action is taken.

ENGINE
On roadtrip with family to daughter’s soccer tournament. Car started to shift funny then engine light turned on along with warning display saying something was wrong with the engine. We were only hour into driving so drove hour back home to dealership/service for Hyundai. They looked over the car and reported that we did the right thing by bringing it back and not continuing our roadtrip with it. The thermostat wasn’t working which would cause issues to engine with overheating and putting my family at risk with driving it on road trip with engine overheating.

SERVICE BRAKES
When stepping on the brakes on a somewhat bumpy road the brakes will at times stop braking and the car will still keep going unless you take your foot off the brake and step on the brakes again. This is a massive safety issue.

SEAT BELTS
I rent my vehicle on the Turo app Market and depend On it as income. When this recall occurred the vehicle was suspended from the platform as it was being rented out to a client and was not informed during the recall as she was driving it, therefore putting her at risk, as well as myself as a host. Its been a month and now I am unable to do business or drive the car knowing the potential consequences stated by the recall indefinitely.

SEAT BELTS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Seat belts does not retract and when pulled it remains in that position. Even when I feed the belt back into its place its very loose and unsafe.[driver seatbelt], fuel injectors are causing the car not to accelerate and safety concerns while on freeway with children the car began to shutter/wanting to.shut off. I used both break and gas at the same time to keep the car running. I was told by Hyundai that the powertrain warranty purchases does not cover that part.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When driving over railroad tracks or entry gates, the vehicle skids forward in an uncontrollable manner and vehicle is unable to stop when I press on the brake pedal. I have to put the car in “park” to stop the vehicle from rolling into oncoming traffic or colliding into the car in front of me. It appears to be an ABS problem.

ENGINE
The oil filter housing is plastic and breaks easily. Most places I tried to get an oil change refuse to work on this car because they don’t want to be liable for any damage to the engine do to a cracked oil filter housing. This is a know issue and the manufacturer has not issued a recall or offered a fix. This forces owners to bring there vehicles to a Hyundai dealership and pay a premium for an oil change.

SERVICE BRAKES
We own a Hyundai Palisade that continues to experience unexpected ABS engagement while driving, causing sudden and unsafe braking. This issue has nearly resulted in multiple accidents and poses a serious safety risk to my family and others on the road. The vehicle is currently at the dealership, and we’ve been informed that Hyundai is aware of the problem but does not yet have a fix. It is unacceptable that such a severe safety defect remains unresolved. We urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and hold Hyundai accountable for ensuring a timely and permanent solution.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My location of work has metal grates (to close a metal gate) at the entrance and exit. I’ve experienced many many times at the exit as I am breaking the breaks slipping. I’ve noticed it other times as I break while driving over uneven surfaces. I finally started digging because that’s not normal and it was brand new. It appears others have had the same issue. It doesn’t look like a recall has been issued, but definitely needs to be.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While closing the front door to the vehicle the back window shattered. Cause is from thermal shock or improper installation of the rear window heating element. I tried to reach out to Billingsley Hyundai of Lawton and they simple stated that they are not able to do window repairs and that it would not be covered under warranty. They didn't even offer to look at the vehicle to diagnose the issue. I have an appointment with Safelife to replace the window. No symptoms were shown prior. We only use the buttons on the rear hatch to open and close it. No manual operation to open and close the rear hatch have been done since owning the vehicle. Safety wise it is a good thing none of our dogs were in the vehicle at the time or the shards of glass would have sprayed onto them. The glass also flew out the back around 2 feet that could have harmed anyone if they were around the vehicle.

Routine vehicle maintenance is the best way to prevent steering and suspension issues that could contribute to a car crash. The problem still remains Hyundai will NOT change the manner of repair. Need a recall!! Please!
