2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

At times, when going over bumps, the brake pedal feels hard and hard to push to the floor. Other times, the brake pedal shakes and the vehicle feels as if it is shaking. The vehicle does not stop when brake pressure is applied. At other times the brakes lock up and I skid across pavement. There are never ABS lights on the dash though. I have replicated this issue with a technician in the vehicle. The dealership has documented that they have been able to recreate this issue multiple times. The dealership even replicated the issue in a demo model the sales manager drives. This vehicle is unsafe. I have slid out into oncoming traffic multiple times now. I almost ran into my own home because the brakes would not work. At times, my brakes lock up going over uneven surfaces. The issue occurs frequently in parking lots, where I am afraid to hit a pedestrian. The vehicle drive, other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are put at risk by this safety issue.

The ABS braking problem has not been mentioned to Hyundai or any other company or organization to date as it was just recently experienced. I recently put unscreened millings on the road end of my gravel driveway. When coming to a slow stop before entering the public road I now experience the brake vibration or chattering with deminished braking responce. Fortunately, I have not experienced this while driving on a public road in 35,000 miles.

Leaving parking lot. Approaching Exit to street to turn right. Going slow and applying the brakes. Hit a small crack or pothole in the pavement and the ABS kicks in. Brake shutters when abs occurs, but braking pressure is very light and car almost rolls into intersection. I think I had to quickly release brake and step on brake again to be able to stop the vehicle. It happened very quickly Vehicle is 1 year old. No lamps or codes. Happened again in similar situation. Trying to stop at lower speed. Hit a bump or loose gravel. Abs kicks in and braking pressure is drastically reduce even after getting past the crack or gravel

Was driving on the freeway today when I heard a crazy exploding sound. I thought it was a gunshot. Then I heard stuff falling off the roof of my car. Apparently my sunroof spontaneously exploded which was Terrifying!!!

I steep on the brakes when I was coming to a gas pump when I did that the car started to shake. It's seams it's was the ABS I thought the car was not going to stop. I had to press the brakes all the way down for the car it stop. I thought for sure I was going to hit the car in front of me.

Back seat window glass (both sides) are cloudy/foggy to such a degree that it obscures visibility, especially in direct sunlight. While backing out of driveway, could not see a child on bicycle and nearly hit him. He yelled out loud enough that I slammed on my brakes. Have had similar incidents when backing out of parking spaces and turning corners. Dealership replaced driver side with new glass about 10 days ago but new glass is just has defective as original glass. Refer to attached photos. The cloudiness is not as evident in low light conditions. First noticed it a few days after purchasing the vehicle new in August of 2022 but thought it would clear up on its own. Incident with boy on bicycle occurred on 8/21/24. Obviously this is a defect in the glass manufacturing and is an unsafe and dangerous condition. No one at Dealerships seem to take it seriously.

The ABS seems to kick in over aggressively. It will kick in and the brake pedal gets all jiggly on slight changes in road situations. For example, going into my driveway, driving over a manhole cover, etc. This has felt dangerous in several instances if I'm slowing down for a red light and the ABS kicks in and significantly increases my stopping distance.

When slowing down from a slow speed the car will begin to shake. This is intermittent.

When hitting a pothole or bump at low speeds the braking system fails and does not brake. As if the abs system engages and leaves me going further when i need to stop. This problem always happens on the same street where i live

My wife nearly crashed into a vehicle because the brakes on her 2023 Palisade would not work! I researched and she is not the only one this has happened to. It seems to be a known issue but there is no recall assigned to this, which is a huge safety concern for my wife and for our daughters, which were in the car when this happened. It could have been much worse if the brakes failed and the car were to drift into cross-traffic! This needs to be addressed immediately before someone gets seriously injured or even dies! In the meantime, our Palisade will not be driven.
