2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

My 2020 Hyundai Palisade slipped into neutral while slowing down in traffic. Was able to quickly pull over, brake and put back into drive. Happened 3 more times while slowing down for turns on my way home. All happened under 15 mph and had a slight grinding sound when placed back into park, drive then accelerating. Plan to take it to the Hyundai dealership tomorrow, but scared to drive it!

On 4 occasions the vehicle completely turned off while I was driving down the avenue. It turned on all the lights on the front panel before turning off completely.

Due to a recall that Hyundai has not fully resolved, I am unable to use the OEM tow hitch that I paid for when I purchased my car because there is not an updated fuse for the trailer hitch. Hence, trailers won't have lights, making them illegal and unsafe. The Hyundai dealership "resolved" the recall by removing the fuse several months ago, but never replaced it. Furthermore, the dealership never told me that I was unable to use the tow hitch. I was only told that the recall was resolved.

1) Back end of the vehicle sways, bounces at any speed when going over slightest bump. Driving with failing shocks or struts has a direct impact on your ability to control vehicle. Research indicates KNOWN ISSUE with 2020-2021 Hyundai Palisades - TSB22-SS-001H issued for PART of the problem but no recall. Hyundai clearly knows about it but not issuing needed recall because it is a warranty item, hoping customers don't realize it until out of warranty. Mine still in warranty, 48K miles. Rear- self leveling shocks appear to be the issue along with upper insulator piece. See Forum: [XXX] ) Another KNOWN ISSUE with cracking windshields same model. Mine cracked [XXX] while parked under cover - no apparent cause, Hyundai wanted over 1K to replace - had to use insurance to replace it. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Current mileage is 51,130. When slowing down to come to a stop;the engine shakes, vehicle stalls out, cuts off, and goes into park. No service or warnings lights where on the dash. I am able to re-start the engine after it stalls out. This has happened several times and now the engine is shaking and trying to idle down under normal driving conditions. There is also a tapping sound coming from the engine. Thankfully there was not much traffic the times the engine stalled, but this could have been a dangerous situation. If this would have happened during high traffic, a crash would have been inevitable. I went to my Hyundai dealership and service rep Chance (unsure of his last name), took vehicle for a test drive and he experienced above mentioned issues. The dealership was unable to give me a service appointment due to being very busy. No available appointments until May 13, 2024. I have viewed several Hyundai Palisade forums online where several people have had the same issue with the 2020-2021 Palisade from the engine having excessive oil consumption issues. If this is a known problem, Hyundai needs to make an effort to rectify it.

The rear self leveling shocks pop and rattle and ultimately fail. What used to be a comfortable ride is now a stiff bouncy response in the rear whenever traversing any but a smooth road. The bounce is so bad it affects the driver and at times the ability to maintain a straight course.

2020 Palisade with Automatic leveling shocks has failed with 37000 miles. As per Hyundai forum it appears that this is a regular occurrence and should be recalled due to premature seals leaking!

The engine of my 2020 Palisade has burned about 1.5 quarts of engine oil every 1k miles. I found this when checked the dipstick after 3k miles and barely see any oil on the dipstick. Even with the oil level far below the LOW level, the car doesn't have any light to warn me about it is being low on oil. This problem can lead me to blown the engine by not having any oil, also stranded on the highway.

My 2020 Hyundai Palisade was serviced 10/23/23 with Daytona Hyundai (mileage around 31000). It has been serviced regularly--sometimes before schedule since it is hard to get the car into the dealership for servicing because they are always booked out months in advance. Today, 2/23/23, my car (35, 873 miles) is at the same dealer service center to fix a rattle in the dashboard which started as I drove off the lot on 10/23/23 after the dealership said everything was fixed and they have informed me that there is no oil in the car. There were no warning lights, no indication that there was no oil in the car. The dealership is doing an oil change.

Engine oil filter housing started leaking copious amounts of oil in cold weather. Dealership advised that it is a known issue but not covered by warranty. I had to source the part myself and pay an independent mechanic to replace the housing. Creates both an environmental hazard as well as risk of engine oil starvation.
