ENGINE
While driving after owning the car for only 2 months and before the next oil change was dure the car started surging and then died when turning a corner. No check engine light or any warning or error lights triggered on the car. The car was restarted and limped home slowly about 2 min from where I'd shut off. The hood was opened and oil lipstick checked to find no oil in the vehicle. Not oil leaks anywhere, no check oil or engine light and no error codes found by dealership. The dealership confirmed no oil leak and consumption issue, oil change done and have to return in another month to jump through hoops to get engine repaired as this is a consumption issue not a leak issue. Dealership is playing games with us around this and trying to get out of repairing the car. But internal engine issue was confirmed. Vehicle returned to us unrepaired to drive for 1000 miles and return for further review even though the issue was confirmed. This is a safety risk to me, and others on the road. Hyundai of Union County is the dealership playing games in getting this repaired. ,

SERVICE BRAKES
ABS on this vehicle is activating extremely aggressively while driving normally on regular street roads, The car shakes and slides and does not stop until the abs stops doing its thing the distance is very far compared to regular braking. This happened multiple times even when coming to a stop sign i found myself in the middle of the intersection and almost got hit definitely not safe whatsoever. The car is fairly new I'm just worried if its doing this often on regular roads what would it do when it snows. I saw online many people are having this very same issue and Hyundai should fix and do a recall on this matter.

It's time you finally step up and have Hyundai issue a recall on the rear shocks that fail. The problem is on the upper trim models with self leveling shocks. The shocks fail and will need to be replaced every few thousand miles. The problem exist for years 2020 to 2025. The new models for 2026 Hyundai has completely reworked the rear suspension and no longer uses the self leveling shock. The dealership ADMITS they stock a fair number of shock parts due to the constant failure. Unless you are in the pockets with Hyundai it's time for you NHTSA to make some noise and require a recall...The rear suspension can be corrected with larger coil springs and non-self leveling shocks. I have been through 3 sets of shocks in 25,250 miles. Do you see a problem, or should I call and talk with someone?

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My car has had numerous issue. The first issue was with the front end collision warning system. I had a sensor warning come on twice saying it may not be in use, but then it falsely predicted a collision resulting in the car slamming on the brakes when nothing was there. I almost go rear-ended as a result. The dealer found that the radar system was completely broken and the sensor was facing to the side instead of the front. I bought the car brand new and there was no evidence of damage and it has never been explained how it got damaged. They replaced the system and that was resolved, but the sensors continue acting strange. It's now turning on the camera and telling me to check my surroundings when I'm stopped at a red light. There is nothing happening around me. The problem that is ongoing and has yet to be resolved is my brakes. It's an intermittent issue, but when I go over rough surfaces and hit the brakes I get a crunching/grinding noise that sounds like it's grinding rocks. This happens intermittently. The dealer was eventually able to replicate it and is saying it's the ABS system and that it's normal, but cannot do anything to repair it. However, it is not normal for ABS to come on going over a bump and it shouldn't sound like that. When this happens, the brakes don't seem to respond properly and as quickly as it should. I have not gotten any warning lights for the brake issue. It does put the parking brake on at times for no reason when I'm on a completely flat surface. The car was out of service for 21 days in a month and a half of owning it. I have a car that I don't feel safe in and I don't trust what it's going to do. It's problem after problem and corporate Hyundai doesn't want to do anything about it.

The rear shocks wear out extremely quickly and require replacement every 10-20K miles. They make an awful clicking noise on acceleration, deceleration, and turning. The dealer has seen it, diagnosed the problem, and refused to cover even under their extended warranty that I purchased.

SERVICE BRAKES
2025 Palisade 1,700 miles. Brand new. When I approached a stop sign, there was a small pothole just before it. When braking towards this sign, the front left tire traveled over the pothole. The car then shook violently and braking appeared to have halted for a moment. A search online revealed many people having similar issues with potholes/uneven roads and the brakes not functioning during this shaking period. It is suspected this is an antilock brake system. The issue is that it is too sensitive. Needs a recall to retune the sensitivity of this.

I am a 77 year old senior and was driving my 2025 Hyundai Tucson Highbrid at approx. 70 MPH on the highway, then suddenly there was significant shuddering through the Tucson with noticeable loss of power. The Tucson dropped to 30 MPH. After that it would accelerate with significant shuddering. This would repeat several times while driving. In addition there were no Malfunctioning indicators, or warning lights. We were never so scared in our lives. This occurred on Thursday , October 2 nd.2025 at around 1:00 P. M. On highway 355 and 53 traveling Northbound.

Oil Consumption- Oil is being consumed at a rapid rate. Even when there is no oil in the vehicle, there are no lights that show up to signify low/empty oil. Once the oil is run dry, the car begins to make noises, can not accelerate, and jolts while driving. Oil must be checked every 2,000 miles.

ENGINE
Vehicle started rattling at 96k miles with no check engine light. Performed diagnostics and found that the vehicle had zero oil inside. Determined that there was no sign of an oil leak and that the engine had internally consumed all of the oil. The rattling still exists and when reported to Hyundai, they sent me away and said to come back after 1k miles to see if it’s consumed 1.1 quarts and only then they will clean the engine and see if that helps and if after another 1,000 miles I still am consuming oil, they will replace the engine. They are refusing to provide a loaner vehicle throughout this process as well.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Component/System: Engine — specifically the engine valve springs and related components. Description of what happened: While driving, the vehicle began to shake violently, and the check engine light came on. At times, the vehicle loses power and shuts off completely, then restarts and drives normally for a short period before the issue returns. It feels and sounds like the engine is about to fall out. These symptoms match the description in Hyundai Safety Recall 255 for the 2024 Palisade (fractured engine valve springs that can cause engine failure, loss of power, and fire risk). Safety risk: The sudden loss of power and engine shaking put my safety and the safety of others at risk, especially while driving in traffic or at higher speeds. The problem could lead to a crash or engine fire if the valve springs fracture or the engine block is damaged. Inspection/confirmation: The problem has not yet been officially confirmed by a dealer, but Hyundai stated that my VIN is not included in the recall, even though my vehicle shows the same symptoms and falls within the recall’s production timeframe. Prior warnings or messages: The check engine light comes on when the vehicle starts shaking, then goes off after the vehicle stops or restarts. The issue has occurred multiple times, most recently in early October 2025. Additional notes: The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Palisade, and the issue began about 5 days ago. The symptoms are consistent with fractured valve springs as described in the recall. I am requesting investigation and inclusion of my VIN in this recall.

Leaking coolant: I have noticed that the coolant tank is empty a couple of days before and took it to the dealership and filled that. In 24hrs I saw the level went from full to lower level (so there is certainly leak happening. However, the dealership in not able to identify leak after 7-8 hrs testing. What is wrong with hyundai palisade 2021? I am not sure if it is safe to drive.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
We were almost in a major accident with 6 passengers in our 2023 Hyundai Palisade. On Wednesday, Oct 1, 2025 we were driving our Palisade to McDonalds off Highway 98 (Navarre Parkway). Please see pics. When we left McDonalds we went on a side road to enter Highway 98. Now on this side road (see pictures) there is some type of metal grate in between the road...well when we went over the grate approaching the stop sign the Palisade went into an immediate violent shudder and there was no control of the vehicle as it felt it was shut down even though I could tell it was on by the interior lights on the gauges. I had absolutely no control of the vehicle. Yes, I was the one driving. I could not brake and the Palisade continue to roll past the stop sign onto Highway 98 with on coming traffic. I couldn't even steer the car because its as though the car had no power. It was totally dead. With my foot pressed hard on the brakes that still did not work I tried to start the car and then it came on. My wife has told me that she experienced this issue at least six times passing this same road and others similar to it. This was the first time I experienced it and we were lucky we were not hit by oncoming traffic. Again, no brakes, no steering control. We were traveling at a slow speed as we were approaching the stop sign on that road with the metal grate, maybe 5 mph or less, but as soon as we went over the grates...all control of the Palisade was lost. Please advise us what to do...as I said we almost had a major accident with 6 passengers because the Palisade did not function as it was designed to do.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
It was a sunny day with no water around and I was pulling up to a signal and decide to put brakes on and the car didn’t break right away, instead the car slide for at least 10 ft before it came to a stop. This incident wasn’t the first one and has happened in exact same manner at least 3 times. All the times it has scared the driver as the driver doesn’t know if the brake feature works and when this happens the vehicle drags several feet before coming to a stop.

SERVICE BRAKES
My wife and I were coming up to a stop sign the other day and we hit some bumps in the road and were unable to apply the brakes. I pressed down on the pedal but the car went into the intersection before the brakes then applied and the car was then able to stop again. Thank god!! since there was another car coming to the intersection. The car made noises like when the traction control kicks on after hitting a slippery surface on the road, but the car was not stopping and pressing the brakes did not do anything either. I also tried pumping the brakes on the car, but eventually the brakes kicked back in and we came to a hard stop. I have not taken the car into the shop to be looked at yet, but I know Hyundai and they wont find a problem with it and then charge me around $300 for them just to look at it. There was no warning to problem happening as we had never had this problem before and there was no lights on the display for the car when the problem happened.

SERVICE BRAKES
When applying the brakes on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade on a rough surface, the steering wheel shakes violently, and the brakes do not engage properly. I have on multiple occasions ended up in the cross traffic travel lane. So far I have not been in an accident. I took my car in to the dealership and they were unable to duplicate this issue and told me there was nothing they could do. They want me to come back after my next episode with the brakes.

ENGINE
My vehicle is using too much oil. I was between oil changes and my car did a safety shut down while I was driving on the busy highway with my grandchildren and left me like a sitting duck. I was finally able to get it off the middle of the highway by restarting the vehicle. My engine light was lit up. I parked it for 15 minutes and then restarted it and traveled the 40miles to home. The next day I took it to our local mechanic and he ran the code and it shut down for safety due to no oil in the vehicle. He added 4 quarts for me. 96033 was the mileage showing on my sticker for when the next oil change was due. My current mileage showed 94743 showing I still had 1290 miles before my next oil change was due. I have always used Swope Hyundai in Elizabethtown, KY for my vehicle service. I called and scheduled an oil consumption test. I did what they said and they said that it was an acceptable amount of oil loss per Hyundai standards. I am still over 1000 miles away from needing my oil change and my husband has been checking my oil for me about every 1000 miles. He stated that he has put in 5 quarts of oil in my vehicle since my last oil change. If he had not done this then I would have been left in a terrible situation again out on the road endangered of being crushed by semi trucks etc. when my vehicle would have shut down again for safety reasons to protect the engine. Why am I paying over 800 per month on a vehicle that is burning oil, I cannot trust and I work out of town 80 mile round trip and mane numerous trips to town for my grandchildren's activities. I need answers to this problem with immediate solutions. I love my vehicle but I do not love this oil consumption issue. I have researched and I do see that many of this type of vehicles both Hyundai and Kia have had issues.

SEAT BELTS
My car seatbelt has been coming undone for years- since I bought the car brand new. I immediately reported to Hyundai. They cleaned it and claimed it’s fixed. I left and my seatbelt came undone again. I bring it back and they said it’s recalled but there’s no solution. How is this okay? I am supposed to drive with a faulty seatbelt that unbuckles while driving and Hyundai is going to allow it?? If I crash and it comes undone and I die then what? They have let this problem go on for years with no solution.
