SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
These vehicles are a hazard to the driver, passengers and others on the road. I have been experiencing regular failures of the brakes, which failed to stop the vehicle when and where intended. Always at speeds below 20mph, uneven pavement/surface, the vehicle experiences strong vibrations in the front, shakes violently and skids forward for a few yards uncontrollably. Brake pedal is unresponsive and must be slammed as hard as possible to have any effect on stopping the vehicle. I have been in near collision situations several times already, where I rolled onto the road with incoming traffic or almost rolled into the intersection. The vehicle is at the dealership for a month if not longer by now, for the third time and Hyundai corporate refuses to provide any solution. NHTSA and DOT MUST open a proper investigation into this. Hyundai refuses to solve it, has no solution and yet fails to recognize the defect and issue a recall or do anything about it. Fed government MUST step in ASAP.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
at low speeds on bumpy surfaces the entire front end, (brakes and suspension), sometimes shakes heavily when brakes are applied. Shaking is so severe that brakes have to be released then reapplied. When dealer was advised during a normal service the advisers claimed to have no knowledge of the issue. I had advised before visiting for the service however no action was taken by them. I shall visit another Hyundai dealer in the immediate future to attempt a resolution.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
There is a known issue documented online regarding the 2024 Hyundai Palisade and the ABS system. On multiple occasions we have noticed that when driving at slow speeds (less than 25 miles per hour) and if the road is slightly uneven, gravel, on an incline or decline, the brake pedal start to vibrate and there is loss of control and increased stopping distance. We reported this previously to Hyundai dealership and they found no fault. Today, 9/30/25, the care was involved in a low speed collision in which the Palisade rear ended another vehicle. Once again the car started to skid and hit the other vehicle. I dropped the car off today at the dealership.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I am unsure what exact component malfunctioned but in 5 separate times within the past 2 months, the vehicle has failed to stop at a normal time when pressing the brakes and a loud rumbling occurs. It feels as if I am sliding on ice.Two of the times it occurred on uneven road surfaces, however 3 times I could not identify an issue with the road. They all occured when coming to a stoplight/stop sign or when I had to stop due to a vehicle slowing down or stopping in front of me. In each occurrence I was going under 20 mph. The safety of others could have definitely been impacted as it took a few seconds to actually stop the vehicle more than it should have. Someone could have been walking and crossing the street in front of me. Or if I was too close to the car in front of me it could have hit it. No warning messages appeared on the dashboard prior, but during the occurrence in the last time, I noticed the word "shift" appear. This word could have shown up during the first few times and I could have missed it. On Tuesday September 9th I took it to the dealership and they checked everything out and the vehicle did not produce the same symptoms when they tested it out over the hour I was there. They said they reported the issue but they did not know the reason it was occuring.

SERVICE BRAKES
On 8/23/25 at approximately 7:20 PM, the vehicle approached a red stoplight in a turn lane to merge onto the highway, the car began to shake violently and the brakes functioned only minimally, not allowing the vehicle to slow down/stop as expected. The vehicle eventually came to full stop, however, given that there was another vehicle in front us that was stopped, there very easily could have been an accident, putting myself, my husband, and 3 year old son, as well as other vehicles, at risk of an accident/serious injury. The car, thereafter, functioned normally. The car was taken into the dealership, however, they stated that they could not duplicate the issue and there was nothing wrong with the braking system. There were no warning lights displayed on the dashboard. Upon further investigation, it appears other Hyundai Palisades have had similar issues, some resulting in serious accidents/injury, however it does not appear that the dealerships or Hyundai have provided any answers or ability to fix this issue.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving my vehicle through a parking lot at a low rate of speed (approximately 5 mph) with my wife and three children in the car. A pedestrian suddenly stepped out from a shopping strip on the passenger side to cross the road, about 8–10 feet in front of my vehicle. I immediately attempted to apply the brakes manually. However, the vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system unexpectedly took over and completely prevented me from braking. At that moment: - The car began vibrating and shaking while continuing forward at the same speed. - The brake pedal was locked and completely unresponsive to my repeated attempts to press it. - The pedestrian, realizing the vehicle was not stopping, was forced to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. After several seconds, the automatic braking system finally disengaged, at which point the brake pedal returned to normal function and I was able to regain manual control. This incident was extremely dangerous and could have resulted in a catastrophic accident, with both my family and the pedestrian at serious risk. The automatic braking system not only failed to stop for a pedestrian directly in front of the vehicle, but it also disabled my ability to manually apply the brakes.

SERVICE BRAKES
When I am braking on a road with bad condition (bumpy, uneven, some minor potholes, etc.) the car starts to skid causing the wheel to shake, I lose control of the vehicle, and my stopping distance increases. It's like the ABS is overly sensitive and kicks in whenever the road has any of the problems stated above. This has almost led me to rear-end another car who is in front of me several times. This problem happens almost daily. My children, husband, and I drive in this car daily and it puts all of us at risk. I took my car to a Hyundai dealership , (Napelton's Auto Park of Urbana) and they were not able to reproduce the problem, therefore they could not find anything wrong. The vehicle and component have not been inspected by anyone except for the dealership mentioned. No warning lights, messages, and other symptoms have been displayed at any point in time, before, during, or after the problem occurs.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
This vehicle has driver-assist functions and warning lamps in the electronic instrument cluster located in the driver's display area. Randomly and unpredictably a group of warning lights -- "check blind spot" collision alarm, lane safety indicator light, triangle-shaped general alert icon -- all activate simultaneously for no apparent reason. The unpredictability creates a serious distraction to the driver and potentially unsafe reactions which could result in damages and injuries. There are numerous references to this problem on the internet, indicating this is a widespread safety issue for Hyundai models. Dealer said possible recall imminent.

SERVICE BRAKES
ABS system is malfunctioning when going over bumps. For instance, I tried braking when going over small bumps and car started jerking and skidding almost rear ending car and finally brakes kicked in at end. Happened 4 times now after buying it a year ago. This is a known incident online that needs to be addressed. Could be very dangerous at higher speeds and cause a wreck. Dealers apparently aren’t doing anything or Hyundai.
