2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

When slowing down using the break at low speeds over a bumpy terrain (gate track or drainage inlet) front of car shakes violently and vehicle does not slow down as fast as it seems like it should.

As I was driving my car to work on 11/8/24 my pallisades brakes failed to work. As i was approaching a red light after stopping at a stop sign, It started to vibrate, like trying to grab traction, it did not slow down and continue the same speed until I almost hit a car at the light. What stopped the vehicle was the emergency sensor that started beeping as the car sensed it was getting close to the vehicle at the light stopped. In the last second the car stopped with the emergency brakes an inch away from a car accident. I called Hyundai and brought the car to the dealership where they kept it overnight and until the next day in the afternoon. I was told that this was a known issue to Hyundai and they have had several people complain of this same problem. Unfortunately they said there is nothing they could do and I would have to wait until Hyundai the manufacturer decides what to be done. They also called Hyundai corporate and filed a complain on my cars behalf. Now I am stuck with a car I am afraid to drive.

Recently, the emergency braking system has been activated without warning on multiple occasions, including while driving on the freeway and local streets, even when no obstacles were present. This unexpected braking could potentially lead to dangerous situations, especially at high speeds. The emergency braking system unexpectedly activates without any obstruction, indicating a possible malfunction with the front sensor or ABS system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The unexpected activation of the emergency braking system, especially at high speeds on highways, poses a significant risk of rear-end collisions, sudden deceleration, and potential accidents involving other vehicles. The issue has been observed but not definitively confirmed or resolved by the Hyundai dealership, which suggested recalibration of the front sensor without assurance of a solution. The vehicle was inspected by a Hyundai dealership but has not been evaluated by other entities like the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. The issue occurred suddenly and unpredictably on various occasions. My experience is not an isolated case; I have found numerous reports from other Hyundai Palisade owners who have encountered similar issues, with no definitive solution provided. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue thoroughly and instruct Hyundai to offer necessary repairs at no cost, given the potential risk to drivers, passengers, and others on the roads.

Loud clanking/banging/creaking noise coming from rear of vehicle. Both rear shock absorbers replaced and strut insulators replaced at 4988 miles! Back at 37700 for the same issue. I was told by the service tech that the strut mounts needed to be replaced. This seems to be a going problem with Hyundai! Please look into it

I received a call but could not make out the name. I was highly disappointed as my car has been with McDonald Hyundai for a week with no resolution and his call was to tell me what they will not do. He could not tell me one Hyundai would do to fix my car. We are extremely frustrated for the below: It has been 1 week and I don't have a resolution I have spent hours away from work trying to solve your problem I bought a Hyundai because we take great care of our cars and drive them forever. We currently own: 2015 Infiniti QX60 - 232,000 miles 2011 BMW 535 - 123,000 miles 2016 Toyota 4Runner - 132,000 This Hyundai replaced a 2013 Ford Explores at 220,000 I bought this for reliability and serviceability, warranty - but the car is not reliable, cannot be serviced and you state can't do under warranty. the car is 14 months old and was bought new The Service Director Kevin at McDonald said he can never guarantee he can fix the issue and said he will never know of unknow issues. Message boards are full with people that have the same exact issue and Hyundai denies this and never finds the issue. Read the links below! "Hello Mr. [XXX] - This is Scott Krencik (McDonald Hyundai Service Director) I have been talking with a Hyundai America case rep regarding your Palisade. The vehicle has aftermarket DLC connections. This is not a warranty repair. I will attach the Hyundai service bulletin that discusses the issues that can happen when stuff is wired in like this. Your best option is to return to the selling dealer and have them put the vehicle back to stock & they should do this for free. Even if I remove it and make repairs, I do not know if there is hidden issues remaining. Please let me know what you would like to do."

I was approaching a stop sign, slowing down to around ~20 mph, then gently applied the brakes. All of a sudden, the car stared to lurch forward and the steering wheel shuddered violently as the ABS braking appeared to kick in. As the brakes were applied, the vehicle kept bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and it took almost twice as long to stop than it should have. There was a vehicle in front of me and my vehicle was a foot from rear-ending that car despite me slowing in advance and attempting to brake gently. The collision warning system kicked in and I suspect that the vehicle stopped itself, even though I was firmly holding the brake pedal down. My wife experienced te identical situation a week later, so this is becoming very concerning. A quick search on the internet has revealed that many other 2023 & 2024 model year have experienced the same issues, and apparently Hyundai USA is aware of the issue, but do not have a solution to fix it yet.

When driving the car normally suddenly there was an extremely loud sound above us. After pulling off the road and inspecting the vehicle we saw that the front sunroof had shattered. Fortunately the bottom cover had been closed else the glass would have fallen on the driver and passengers and very well could have caused an accident and/or injuries. The remaining glass was bowed upwards and there wasn't any foreign objects inside the roof. At the time of the incident there were no other vehicles around us nor were we under any trees or highway structure. We brought the car to the dealer who claimed that something must have impacted the sunroof however that is not the case. The sunroof glass spontaneously just shattered without any warning. There had been no cracks or chips in the sunroof glass at the time.

Driving on a gravel road (with small pot holes and bumps) down a slight hill caused my brake pedal to shudder making it impossible to slow to a speed I felt comfortable with. I had to remove my foot from the brake pedal and step on it as hard as I could to slow down. This is a serious safety defect and the issue needs to be investigated especially since many consumers have submitted similar complaints.

Drivers side seatbelt will sporadically, unlatch on its own. No particular conditions seeming involved. Just buckled one moment, and then unbuckled on its own the next.
