2025 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

I leased a brand-new 2025 Hyundai Palisade (Calligraphy trim) on June 27, 2025. Immediately after delivery, I noticed the rear air conditioning system was blowing only hot air, making the third-row seats unusable during summer. Despite calling the dealership and Hyundai Corporate right away, I was unable to receive a timely resolution. I had to take the vehicle in for service, which took several days due to part delays and multiple failed repair attempts. During that time, I was denied a loaner vehicle and had to rent a replacement at my own expense. The issue disrupted my plans, cost me money, and caused significant stress. I believe this is a quality control issue in the climate system, and Hyundai’s inability to promptly fix it made it an unsafe situation for families relying on the vehicle for travel.

While driving on the highway using the adaptive cruise control feature in my 2025 Hyundai Palisade, the vehicle suddenly and aggressively braked for no reason — even though there was no vehicle or obstruction ahead. This happened in normal highway traffic and caused vehicles behind me to brake suddenly, putting me at extreme risk of a rear-end collision. It was a very dangerous and terrifying experience that made me unable to use the cruise control feature since. For a brand-new vehicle with advanced safety features, this type of malfunction is completely unacceptable. Hyundai has not provided a proper explanation or resolution. This poses a serious ongoing safety risk to myself and others on the road and must be investigated.

While turning into a driveway at low speed (approximately 5 mph), I attempted to brake, but the brakes did not respond properly. The vehicle began to bump and resist braking, and failed to stop when expected, causing me to hit a fence. This model is equipped with automatic braking and collision avoidance systems that should have activated, but they failed to engage. This was a concerning failure for a brand-new vehicle equipped with advanced safety systems. Hyundai has not provided any clear answers or support. This appears to be a malfunction in the braking or electronic safety systems, and I believe it poses a serious risk to other drivers and pedestrians

At this time is when I pushed the break petal all the way down car was still not slowing down, the car started to do the death wobble, shake violently and vibrating, pulsing back and forth side to side up and down, steering wheel shaking.

I have taken my car to the dealer ship and they told me there is no recalls for the 2025 Hyundai palisade my car has 5,036 miles on it bought it brand new off the lot, the service representative states they will look into it that it may take 24-48 hours to get back to me, but this may also be a suspension component but they will look into the incident. There were warnings signs and I take this route everyday every time I would break I could never fully press the break down as it would start shaking and make metal on metal noise and I would have to ease off the break petal.

Driving at slow speeds the car’s ABS system kicked in when we transitioned from the road to the parking lot. The parking lot was an even surface and only a slight bump to drive into it. This has happened twice already and the car has 360 miles on the odometer. So comforting! Such great quality !
