SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My vehicle has an issue with the anti lock braking system on uneven surfaces. On several occasions since buying the vehicle earlier this year, I've observed the issue of chattering or severe on-off reaction of the ABS to gradual braking onnuneven surfaces. I have not had the issue verified by a dealer yet, but plan to soon. The malfunction has extended stopping distances significantly. I have not noticed warning lights during or after the malfunction, likely because I'm focused on safely bringing the vehicle to a stop during the malfunction. My vehicle can be made available for inspection.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
While driving my 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy at about 30 mph on a small paved street, the sunroof suddenly exploded with a very loud bang. There were no other cars nearby, no debris, and nothing hit the vehicle. Thankfully, the inside sliding cover was closed, so no glass entered the cabin, but the sound was extremely alarming and could have easily caused an accident if conditions were different. The dealership refused to cover the repair under warranty. After looking online, I discovered many other Hyundai owners reporting the same issue with their panoramic sunroofs, so this does not appear to be an isolated incident. This is a major safety concern. If the interior cover had been open, shattered glass would have fallen directly onto me and my passengers, likely causing injuries. The sudden loud explosion can also startle drivers and lead to loss of control. I believe this is a dangerous defect that requires investigation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Vehicle failed to start in dealer's service stall. Fault was corrected 6 days later. Repair order described fault as "2 wires touching under driver's seat". Service desk stated the problem was pre-existing. I would be fearful of the consequences if those two wires "touched" while driving.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Drove vehicle approximately 1 mile ro McDonald's went in to eat. When I came out, front windshield was cracked on passenger side. I do not recall anything hitting windshield that could cause it to crack. Took car to Hyundai dealer. They looked at it and said it had been hit. Has a very small spot. I do not recall ever having anything hit windshield. I believe it cracked spontaneously for no apparent reason. If it was hit it was a very small something that should not have caused windshield to crack. If windshield cracks that easily, it is unsafe.

ENGINE
Engine consuming way to much oil. Did oil consumption test and it is going through a quart and half every 800 miles. Dealership is dragging there feet on getting this taken care. They put a solution in to see if that would fix it. Now it is eating oil more I have to put two quarts of oil in every week. There is no low oil indicator on this vehicle which is terrible so you have to check it or pay attention to the noise. The car runs so rough when it is low a quart and sometimes the engine stutters.

The tachometer on my 2021 Hyundai Palisade failed at 70,000 miles. The tachometer sometimes displays RPM at 0 and other times at 9000 during normal driving. The engine speed appears normal regardless of what the tachometer displays. The dealer diagnosed the problem requiring the cluster assy-instrument (part number 94001-S8640) to be replaced. I'm not sure if other information displayed on this screen is accurate or working properly. The vehicle is within the 5 year warranty but outside the 60,000 mile warranty. The dealer quoted $926.75 for the part and $290 additional for labor.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
The vehicle experiencing excessive oil consumption without any external leaks. Since February 2024, I have repeatedly reported this issue to the dealership. They required me to complete multiple 1,000 mile oil consumption tests and eventually performed a combustion chamber cleaning. Despite this, the oil consumption problem continues. As of today, after driving only 3,700 miles, the engine oil level was so ow that the dipstick did not register any oil at all. No warning lights or dashboard indicators ever came on to alert me to the low oil level. The dealership has acknowledged my concerns but stated that Hyundai considers this "normal specs". I strongly disagree, as the amount of oil being consumed poses a safety risk if the engine fails while driving. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer during inspections, but no permanent repair has been offered. The ongoing issue creates a serious risk to both my safety and the safety of others on the road due to potential engine failure from lack of lubrication.

SERVICE BRAKES
Any time I brake on bumpy roads or rail road tracks, my brakes start bouncing and i'm not able to completely brake until i've passed the bumps. There's bumpy roads all over and this is very unsafe and concerning every time it happens. The abs system needs to be looked at.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In multiple instances, the ABS is engaging on uneven surfaces when it should not. It occurs when pulling into my driveway and just happened this morning in the car drop off line. I was going no more than 5mph when the car in front of me stopped. I hit the brakes and the ABS engaged (along with the crash alarm) causing a skid. No accident occurred, but it was unsettling.

The sunroof wind deflector broke when I simply opened the sunroof, and the sunroof is now stuck in the open position. I wish TSB 23-BD-003H-1 would've included my VIN so I could've addressed this issue prior to it breaking. Now I am faced with a $3400 repair bill from Hyundai. Hyundai said there is no cheaper option to partially fix it to at least get it closed. Other repair shops are referring me to Hyundai to complete the repair.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was recently involved in an accident with my 2020 Palisade that I believe may have been caused by a brake failure. I was simply moving the vehicle from one part of a driveway to another when, as I drove over a drainage ditch, the brakes did not respond and the car suddenly accelerated into a tree. I sustained facial injuries and was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital. The vehicle is currently at Canby Motors in Bel Air and is available for inspection. The vehicle has only been inspected by Canby Motors to my knowledge at this time. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

SERVICE BRAKES
The brakes appear to be skidding when coming to a stop at low speeds, even on pavement. Has occurred once on gravel and other times on patched asphalt. Two major incidents have occurred where vehicle would not stop and slid past stop sign and started to go into highway traffic. Driver has to stomp on the brake to get the car to stop. This has occurred intermittently at least 8 times since vehicle was purchased in Feb 2025. We have had it inspected at the Hyundai dealership 9/5/25 but no problems could be found with the brake system. It is scheduled to go back again after another skidding incident 9/15/25.

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle was brought to the dealership at around 17,000 miles with concerns regarding a clunky sound and hesitation in acceleration. The issue is extremely noticeable while turning and accelerating. No warning lights, messages or audible chimes show up when the issue occurs. Due to the vehicle hesitation on acceleration and the clunky / bouncy feeling in the steering wheel, my wife and I think there is a safety concern (e.g. being hit due to unresponsiveness of the vehicle). The problem was reproduced/confirmed by a dealer, and the rear coupling assembly was replaced. Fast forward 18,000 miles (vehicle now has ~35,000 miles) and the exact same issue is occurring again. I am schedule to take the vehicle back into the dealership for this concern, another concern with the ABS system and general maintenance.

SERVICE BRAKES
It appears that the ABS system engages/actuates while driving over gravel or uneven/dirt roads. When the issue occurs, the steering wheel locks up and the vehicle loses almost all braking control. No warning lights, messages or audible chimes show up when the issue occurs. My wife and I have both experienced this issue on numerous occasions. It has become a safety concern since we almost ended up in a ditch...my wife and young children were in the vehicle. I am fearful that we could potentially crash or hit someone due to loss of vehicle control. The vehicle is being brought to the dealership on September 18, 2025, where I will make them aware of this concern. NOTE: the provided "additional details" below are based on the most recent occurrence.
