SEATS, STRUCTURE:BODY
When the child safety lock is engaged and the vehicle is in a driving or no-driving state, all the doors start to make a clicking noise. I am not sure if the child lock is engaged at this point, which creates safety issues, especially when driving with kids.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that when the vehicle it was purchased, the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V633000 (Trailer Hitches) and was repaired. The contact stated that after the recall repair was completed, the radiator suddenly failed, and the vehicle would overheat, and the heater failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the radiator had failed and needed to be replaced. The radiator was replaced. After having the repair completed, the vehicle would shake while accelerating and driving at various speeds. The contact stated that failure mostly occurred while the transmission was shifting into 2nd gear. The contact stated that engine was overheating and the coolant reservoir needed to be refilled every day. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Tasca Central Avenue Hyundai (111 S Central Ave, Hartsdale, NY 10530); and it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission was slipping and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was returned to the first dealer who diagnosed that the coolant hose had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact retrieved the vehicle from the dealer, and the transmission warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I am writing to formally report a significant safety concern involving my 2022 Hyundai Palisade, specifically related to the radiator and coolant system. In November 2024, I experienced issues indicative of a coolant leak, including engine overheating warnings and noticeable coolant odors. Upon investigation, I discovered that Hyundai had issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) #23-EM-003H on August 3, 2023, acknowledging that certain 2020–2022 Palisade models may exhibit a slight coolant leak at the radiator. Despite this acknowledgment, Hyundai has not initiated a recall, leaving many consumers, including myself, vulnerable to potential engine damage and safety risks. Furthermore, numerous complaints have been filed by other 2022 Palisade owners reporting similar issues: •One owner reported an engine overheat warning while parked, followed by a strong coolant smell and visible coolant leakage. The dealership diagnosed a cracked radiator. •Another owner experienced coolant odor inside the vehicle and was informed by the dealer of tiny pinholes in the radiator, necessitating a replacement that was delayed due to high demand. These incidents highlight a pattern of radiator failures that pose a risk of engine overheating and potential safety hazards. The lack of a formal recall or widespread notification to owners exacerbates the issue, as many may be unaware of the potential danger. Given the severity and frequency of these problems, I urge the NHTSA to: 1.Initiate a formal investigation into the radiator and coolant system defects in 2020–2022 Hyundai Palisade models. 2.Assess whether Hyundai’s current measures are sufficient to address the safety risks associated with these defects. 3.Consider mandating a recall to ensure affected vehicles are promptly and effectively repaired. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to vehicle safety.

I am the second owner of this vehicle and have only been driving it for two weeks. The second row driver’s side seatbelt has disengaged on multiple occasions (at least 5) while the car is in motion. The passenger seatbelt has disengaged twice and the driver’s seatbelt has disengaged once. Obviously this is a serious issue that could result in major injuries if an accident ever occurred. I will be taking the vehicle in for service as soon as possible.

SEAT BELTS
Driver's seatbelt is unlatching while driving spontaneously. It is also having issues latching and staying latched. The dealership was not any assistance, as they said it was likely maybe dirt in the seatbelt (there isn't any debris). This is a huge safety concern, as we have a young child and are now concerned about the rest of the seatbelts doing the same thing.

ENGINE
While driving the car on highway the oil plug fell and eventually seized the engine. There has been multiple complaints for the same for other Hyundai vehicles as well. The car is in dealership right now with engine failure. While driving the car on I-81, suddenly smoke started coming out of hood. Stopped to check and then while starting the car again, saw oil check and engine check light come on after. The dealership mentioned oil plug fell off and oil spilled all over engine. The last service was over 7 months ago and was due for service soon. Couldn’t be negligence but a problem with Hyundai.
