ENGINE
At about 60,200 miles, my check engine light went off and I took it to the dealer. They told me all my fuel injectors were failing and I had to replace those to include the spark plugs. I understand there is a current class action lawsuit for similar Hyundai vehicles but does not include the Palisade.

In my 2022 Hyundai palisade calligraphy AWD, the third row power fold seats did not stop upon closing while testing it out on water bottles. It completely shut over two gallon jugs of distilled water, as well as a case of water. I believe there are more vehicles that this 3rd row power fold recall should branch over, and is not. So many children and animals are at risk and are not aware.

SEAT BELTS
When the recall for the seatbelts was first released I went to the dealership and was told my car was not affected which was incorrect. More recently they admitted it was included but it would be at least one year before I would see the repair completed. Now there’s another recall but Hyundai has no remedy!

SEAT BELTS
I own a Hyundai vehicle with an active safety recall related to seatbelt buckle failure. The driver seatbelt buckle does not latch at all. The seatbelt tongue inserts but does not lock, making the seat unusable and unsafe to be driven. This issue matches the recall description for defective seatbelt buckle assemblies that may prevent proper latching. I have contacted multiple Hyundai dealerships and Hyundai corporate. I was informed that the recall remedy is not currently available due to lack of parts and will likely not be available for another 16 weeks. This recall has been open since approximately September 2025, and as of now (March 2026), no repair has been provided. Hyundai has not provided a loaner vehicle or guaranteed transportation solution despite the safety-critical nature of this issue. I was advised to contact dealerships individually to search for parts or loaners, which is not a viable solution. I am concerned about the extended delay in providing a remedy for a critical safety component and the lack of a consistent interim solution for affected owners.

SEATS
The third-row power seat fails to detect obstructions and continues closing under resistance, even when encountering large objects such as a fully loaded backpack. The seat does not stop or reverse, indicating a failure of the obstruction detection / anti-pinch safety feature. This creates a crushing hazard to passengers, including children. A fatal incident involving a similar seat malfunction in the same make and model has been reported. The problem persists whenever the seat is operated, and the malfunction has been documented on video. Although the vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership, Hyundai Consumer Affairs has been provided with video evidence. They have suggested further inspection, but no engineering-level evaluation of this safety issue has been completed. The seat continues to close under resistance and does not stop or reverse. The failure of the seat’s obstruction detection system creates a significant crushing hazard. Although no injury has occurred in my vehicle, the reported fatal incident involving the same defect shows the potential for serious injury or death. Video evidence demonstrating the seat malfunction is available. All correspondence with Hyundai Consumer Affairs documenting attempts to resolve this issue can be provided upon request.

I tested the 3rd row in my Palisade Calligraphy 2022 after a death of a little girl happened in a 2026 model. I placed a case of water bottles in the seat, where my children have ridden so many times before on trips. Watched the seat go down, not one time did the sensor trigger. The water bottles were crushed. This is terrifying findings. It means its not just Hyundais 2026 problems, this is much bigger of an issue. Please please please look into this.

I've been trying for 6 months to get my recalled seatbelts replaced as I complained about issues with the latching mechanism for years before the recall. The dealership does not have parts to repair the seatbelts and will not provide a reasonable time frame or loaner vehicle in the meantime. Please help. I am concerned for my kids' safety as they're coming unbuckled spontaneously as we drive down the road and both rear seats are recalled so there is no safe place for them to ride.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Within months of purchase, I reported to James Wood Hyundai in Decatur that my children were repeatedly becoming unbuckled in the rear bucket seats. I was told the seatbelts were fine yet I continued raising this concern at multiple service visits because the issue persisted. This was an ongoing safety problem not an isolated complaint. Years later, Hyundai issued a recall for this exact defect. I promptly contacted the nearest dealership to schedule repairs and explained that this concern has been documented since shortly after purchase. I was informed repairs would be delayed several weeks because Enterprise fleet vehicles were being prioritized and was told I am the “only person” experiencing this issue a statement that conflicts with a formal safety recall. Enterprise cannot legally rent vehicles with open safety recalls due to safety concerns, yet I am expected to transport my children in a vehicle with known defective rear seatbelts. Now there is another recall regarding passenger safety in the third row with no remedy so my children have no safe seat to use in my car. When I asked who’s responsible if my kids are injured in the second or third row of my car they will not respond.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
While driving at normal speed, my 2022 Hyundai Palisade suddenly lost power without warning. Multiple warning icons appeared on the dashboard at the same time. The vehicle immediately slowed down and became unsafe to operate. After pulling over, the vehicle would not restart and had to be towed. This created a dangerous situation on the roadway. I am reporting this because I wonder if other owners may have experienced similar sudden power-loss events with this model year. It was fortunate that I was on a secondary road and not on the highway when this happened because it could have resulted in fatalities.
