SEAT BELTS
All seat belts do not always click securely. They require you to push and pull a second time for the seat belt to fully engage. Sometimes the seat belts unclick while we are driving down the road. This has been happening since we purchased the vehicle new and the dealer won't acknowledge the issue or do anything to resolve it.

SUSPENSION
Rear suspension with auto level function is not working properly. Rear is super stiff and bouncy ride over small imperfections on the road. Even with brand new tires it’s still an unpleasant ride. Rear passengers are not comfortable anymore.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding multiple ongoing and serious issues with my 2022 Hyundai Palisade. These issues not only diminish the performance and reliability of the vehicle but also raise significant safety and quality concerns. Below are the problems I have encountered: 1.Thermostat and Coolant System Defects: Like many other owners of the 2022 Hyundai Palisade, I have experienced problems with the thermostat and coolant system. My vehicle has exhibited signs of overheating, posing risks to the engine’s longevity and safety. 2.Radiator Leak: I have identified a radiator leak, which is troubling for a relatively new vehicle. This suggests a defect in the materials or assembly, as this should not be occurring under normal operating conditions. 3.Oil Pan and Filter Housing Issues: •The oil pan has developed a crack, which is highly unusual, especially since Hyundai has performed all of my vehicle’s oil changes. This raises concerns about part quality and service handling. •Additionally, I have noticed oil leaking from the oil filter housing. This leak not only raises concerns about engine performance but also indicates a potential flaw in the design or installation of the oil filter system. 4.Faulty Sensors: My vehicle’s sensors frequently activate without any nearby objects or obstacles. These false alerts are a serious distraction while driving and undermine the effectiveness of the car’s safety features. 5.Key Fob Malfunctions: While driving, I have repeatedly encountered the “key not in vehicle” warning, despite the key being present inside the car. This issue is not only an inconvenience but also a potential safety risk if it disrupts the vehicle’s operations unexpectedly. The combination of these defects is unacceptable for a vehicle of this age and reputation. These problems suggest significant flaws in manufacturing, design, or maintenance practices that Hyundai should address immediately.

SEAT BELTS
The seat belt for the second-row passenger seat on the driver side frequently comes unbuckled. This sometimes happens within minutes of buckling it and sometimes over 20 minutes later. My daughter is in a booster seat, and this happens regardless of whether I buckle her in or she buckles herself in. Even when I buckle her in and then pull hard on the belt to check that it is fully buckled, the seat belt still sometimes comes unlatched. The driver seat belt has also come unlatched several times when I am driving, also within minutes or long after I have buckled myself in. Yes, this is available for inspection upon request. My safety and my children's safety is obviously at risk if we cannot trust our seat belts to remain latched. The problem has not yet been inspected, reproduced, or confirmed by any third parties. There are no warning signals prior the belts unbuckling; the "seat belt unbuckled" alarm in the car begins to sound once the belts unbuckle themselves.

SEAT BELTS
The seat belts unbuckle on their own while driving. They are fully engaged and the safety light indicator turns off but then as you are driving they will intermittently unbuckle themselves. I have taken it to the dealer several times and have been told it’s a corporate issue and there is nothing they can replicate so they can’t do anything about it.

SUSPENSION
The ride is extremely bumpy, especially for children in the back seats. Hyundai has replaced the shocks/struts twice with less than 20,000 miles on the car. They are apparently using the same part which is why they keep wearing out badly.

The seatbelt is unbuckling at random times, even when it is not tugged on and while driving. Drove 10-15 times and the buckle unlatched at least 6 times. Another driver of the same vehicle is also having problems. Dealer/mechanic cannot replicate the problem. No warning symptoms prior to it unbuckling.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
The vehicle, a 2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL, was located in a closed garage, unoccupied. Within 10 minutes of parking the car in the garage, it caught on fire, possibly originating on the front, driver's side. Due to this incident occurring inside a garage, there was damage to our home and a high risk of safety (including loss of life) to the home and its occupants. At this time, we are waiting for the insurance company to investigate the origin of the fire as there were no warning lights or any indication of risk. This fire happened very suddenly and unexpectedly and it is our sincere hope that a thorough investigation will prevent this from happening to other families.

VISIBILITY
The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving on the highway at 65 MPH, the contact heard a sound like a shotgun blast. The contact opened the sunroof shade and saw that the sunroof glass had shattered. The contact started closing the shade and the center glass started collapsing inside the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be inspected, and the contact was informed that the impact from a rock had caused the sunroof glass to shatter. The contact decided to take the vehicle to another dealer. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by the second dealer that a claim would be submitted for the failure and the failure would be escalated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,296.

SEAT BELTS
This has now happened 2 times now (once in the fall of 2024 and the other time was 2 or 3 weeks ago) to the driver side seatbelt. Before driving, I buckled and clicked my seat belt and while I was driving, the seat belt unclicked and unlocked on it's own. The first time this happened, I thought maybe I didn't secure it all the way, but when it happened a second time, I knew for sure I had fully buckled my seat belt and it unlocked on it's own. This is a huge safety concern. If I got into an accident and my seat belt became unlocked, I could be killed. And I am concerned about the other seat belts as well. I have 2 small children who are always in the car with either my husband or myself (or both of us). I am concerned that their seat belts could have the same issue. No warning lights went on and I have not had the seat belt inspected yet. I researched online and saw no recalls, so I wanted to make sure this was reported in case others are having the same issue. It's very concerning. If my vehicle is needed for inspection, I am happy to do so as long as I have another car to drive in the mean time. This is our only vehicle.

SUSPENSION
After about 10000 miles, started to notice a thumping sound then it got progressively worse. The ride started to get rougher and thumps all the time. Dealer verified rear shocks bad and ordered new set. Now at 14000 miles and shocks still on back order. Was told that this is happening all the time and that the replacement shocks are the same as what came on the vehicle. This does not solve the problem.Soon handling will suffer.

SEAT BELTS
While driving to work, the seatbelt suddenly unlatched midway through the drive without any pressing of the release button, and nothing close to it that could have pressed on it. This happened while moving (not stopped at a light). The cars seatbelt warning system started beeping to alert that the driver was not buckled.

ENGINE
My 2020 Palisade engine burns oil at an alarming rate. I have to add about 4 quarts of oil every couple of thousand miles. This is a known issue with Hyundai engines. The problem started about a year ago. At that time my car had 98,000 miles on it. I reported the problem to Hyundai. They said they were too busy to see me at that time and the earliest they could look at my car was over a month out. By the time they got me in and looked at my car they said I was over the 100k mile warranty and there was nothing they could do. This is a known issue with thousands of Hyundai motors. Hyundai has failed to recall their faulty engines and do right by their customers.

SEAT BELTS
The seat belt in the rear right passenger seat became disengaged on 1/13/25 while driving. The alert indicating the belt had become unbuckled did alarm. This has happened repeatedly, including recently on 1/10/25 when the front passenger seat belt became disengaged while driving. This has occurred when both children and adults are occupying the seats.
