2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

Car purchased on 07 June 2022. Car with the dealership service since 14 June 2022 Steering Stiffness to the Left. Car dragging to the right. My left arm is sore and had aches in the joints due to the extra pressure in balancing the steering. Hyundai is aware of the issue but has no solutions to it. This is a serious safety risk.

The car pulls to the right and it is hard to steer left. At speeds higher than 50mph the steering wheels vibrates when turning left to correct the veering. The Lane Departure and Lane Keeping Assist to not operate correctly because the car veers to the right. I have had the car serviced twice within one week of purchasing and there is no fix from the dealer nor Hyundai. This issue was apparent within minutes of first driving the car, there are no warning lights. The alignment is out of spec but cannot be corrected by the dealer. The cause is reported as an issue with the steering angle sensor.

Speedometer stopped working and went to Zero MPH June 1, 2022. Vehicle has only 2,800 miles on it. Shutting off and restarting the car did not solve this. Simultaneously, the car compass indicated wrong direction; a safety announcement came over the infotainment system repeatedly telling us we were driving the wrong way on the street (we were not). No other indicators of a malfunction came on and the car's internal diagnostics said all was normal despite this problem. Went immediately to Hyundai dealer who confirmed the problem. Dealer fixed it by disconnecting the car's battery and reconnecting it a few minutes later. Safety issue is that suddenly we could not tell if we were exceeding the speed limit or driving too slow.

While driving my car it loses all power steering, said something about lane assist, shows a red circle with an exclamation point. This is dangerous as I can't turn. The only fix is to attempt to pull over, turn the car off and let it reset. This has happened three times in the middle of traffic, nearly causing accidents.

On May 7, 2022 I was driving to Georgia to visit a loved one in the hospital at night. I was driving by myself with my dog. Approximately 1:50 AM, I stopped in Greensville, NC (my halfway point to my destination) to relieve myself, let the dog relieve himself, and fill up my gas tank for the 2nd time (which was 5 hours from my destination). Approximately 15-20 mins after getting back on the road, I opened my sunroof to smoke a cigarette and I hear a loud "boom" on the roof of my vehicle. I looked up to see if my roof luggage crossbars were still in place (and it was). I continued to drive. I finished my cigarette and began to close the sunroof when I heard another loud noise with glass falling into my vehicle. I looked up and noticed that my sunroof has shattered completely. I hit the S.O.S button for assistance and they asked me to pull over. I told they, "Absolutely not! This is not a well lit area; I'm driving by myself; it's just me and my dog; I don't know where I am; I'm in the middle of nowhere; I'm scared; and it's 2:00 in the morning!" I continued driving and told the operator that I was coming up on an area that looked better lit with signs showing food, lodging, and gas. I told her, I was going to get off the highway and go to one of the gas stations in that area. I took the exit and headed to the gas station; however, all of them were closed. I asked her what were my options? She stated that she wanted to send Roadside Assistance to my location and they would tow my vehicle to the nearest hyundai dealership. I told her that everything was closed and because it was so late and I was in the middle of nowhere, I would continue to my destination and call back. I continued to drive 5 hours straight (without stopping) to get to Georgia. During the remainder of my travel, I had to keep holding the sunroof cover because of the vibrations from the wind pockets to keep the cover from sliding and vibrating.

Our new 2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy with 1200 miles windshield spontaneously cracked in the middle after warming it with the remote car starter in the morning. There was no rock chip or hit the night before when we drove it. It just split, possibly because of warming up a cool windshield.

within 2,500 of purchasing the vehicle new, the windscreen has cracked and a large chip resulting in a "star". Maybe I am unlucky that there have been two in a short period of time and so close to the original purchase date. Wanted to document the issue in case there is an issue with the windscreens. I have heard (internet) of other concerns/issues with Hyundai windscreens, not sure if the Palisade is effected or not.

Started to notice an oil spot under the vehicle at around 4500 miles. Since the car is brand new and hadn't even had its first oil change, we immediately scheduled a service appointment. We were finally able to get it into the dealership 2 weeks later and received a diagnosis shortly after drop off. Turns out the oil leak was coming from the head gasket on the right bank of the engine and requires replacement of both head gaskets. The engine oil level was low and the service technician recommended the car not be driven until it could be repaired as simply adding oil would continue to contribute to the leak. Parts have been ordered and requested via next day delivery however they currently do not have an ETA as to when the parts will arrive. The repair job is estimated at 10-12 hours so it will be out of service for 2 days just for repairs once parts do come in. Plus Hyundai would not reimburse car rental fees even though the dealer was out of service loaners however after a day, they were able to provide one. Of greater concern however is why would the head gaskets be leaking oil while the car is still basically being broken in from new. I've had cars of multiple brands with well over 100K miles that never leaked from the head gaskets. If these engines are assembly line built, I'm concerned that the torque specs were off when assembling the heads to the block causing the leak. If that's the case, this issue could begin to pop up on many other vehicles built at the same time. Hyundai is covering under warranty at no cost but now I'm concerned over our investment that we've only had now for 3 months and future reliability. The vehicle is currently out of service for an undetermined amount of time. If not caught, this could have resulted in a full engine failure as the low oil warning never came on.

Windshield wipers stopped working while driving in a snow storm. You then have to pull off the road with little to no forward visibility. At one point my wife had to roll down the window and stick her head out to see to pull off the road. The wipers seem to pack snow into the area they park and then quit. It is very difficult to get them working again no matter how much snow you dig out of the area the wipers park in. This has happened three times so far this winter.

Cracks occuring on windshield without direct impact. Requesting warranty repair but is not being honored by dealer.
