2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE Complaints

Excessive oil consumption. Consuming 2 qts of oil every 1000 miles. Has been to the dealership 8 times in the last 15 months. 2 spark plugs from the same cylinder have failed leaving me stranded. My dealership and Hyundai Consumer Affairs continue to give me the run around with oil consumption tests and combustion chamber cleanings rather than admit this is a faulty engine. The first spark plug failed at 25k miles and the second one from the exact same cylinder failed 7k after. Blue smoke comes out of the exhaust frequently on engine start up which I have communicated this several time proving that their fixes aren't preventing the oil from leaking inside the combustion chamber. But they will insist that that I have to continue oil consumption tests, despite having 8 done on the car already. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle knowing that the engine can fail at me at anytime on the road

Drivers power seat will not adjust back only forward. Function only moves back based on preset settings manual lever not working.

There is a recall for the trailer hitch that has no solution. Hyundai just pulled the fuse and you can not pull a trailer which is why I purchased the SUV.

Two cracks to windshield that started spontaneously from the upper and lower edges of windshield when vehicle was only a few months old. Both cracks immediately lengthened 2.5 to 3 feet within 15 minutes of crack starting. Multiple small chips over past 2 years that have not occurred in our other vehicles that are driven similar routes and distances. It is evident that there is a problem as so many other owners have complained of the same issue . With the ease in which these windshields chip and crack , it is very concerning for safety in that it would likely provide little protection in a crash and it likely does not meet safety standards. Based on the major cracks starting spontaneously on the edges, it could be a problem with the frame/structure as well as lack of strength in the glass. Steps should be taken to correct this issue before serious injuries or fatalities occur.

I bought this car as a certified pre-owned, picked it up on January 18, 2023. This is our family car and we took it on a 350 mile each way road trip on Jan 27. Upon arrival to our destination, driving around the city I noticed a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust. I checked the oil and there wasn't oil registering on the dipstick, so I added 5 quarts of oil to the car to get us home on Sunday Jan 29. Upon returning home, I got the car back to the dealer and they had it for a couple days but "couldn't replicate the smoke". The dealer began an oil consumption test based on Hyundai's instructions. Now I have to take the car back in every 1,000 miles to be checked. I picked the car up on Feb 9 and have continued to drive it around with white smoke coming out the back end in multiple scenarios: after sitting at a stoplight, stop sign, turning from a slow speed, or even starting to accelerate on the freeway after slow (not stopped) traffic. The engine knocks when accelerating after most turns, between 20-30mph. Not only is it embarrassing to have big white plumes of smoke at the back of the car, it doesn't feel safe for my family or good for the car to continue driving to get to 1,000 miles and go have it checked for the next 4,000 miles. Hyundai certainly knows of the problems and are making me "prove" issues through their oil consumption test. Meanwhile, I drive a car that has horrible exhaust fumes, and causes safety concerns as it could stop running anywhere, anytime.

My wife and myself were on a little road trip and the vehicle lost power while on the freeway. It wouldn't go over 60 mph which was concerning as we were in the middle of freeway traffic. I managed to get to an exit and shut off the vehicle. I restarted it and it seemed to be fine. We continued to where we were going and on the way home, the same thing happened, again at freeway speeds. I was able to exit again, turned the vehicle off then restarted and it was ok. We were almost home and it shut off, while driving which is exciting but not in a good way. It restarted and ran fine. It did throw an engine code this time. It said it was a fuel pressure issue. A few days later we figured we should take it by the dealership, which is two hours from our home, and my daughter, my wife and myself headed that way. On the way while driving 60+mph the engine came apart. The cabin filled with smoke and it was hard to steer and brake on top of not being able to see. The engine had multiple holes in it. We had it towed to the dealership and they said the engine wasn't covered as we had the services done at a shop local to us (services were all documented). I've been around engines and cars my entire life and am a mechanic and have never seen a vehicle with 100,000 miles have an engine fail this badly. We're having to put a new engine in just so we can get rid of this car as I don't fill it's safe for my wife or kids to be in with these issues and a manufacturer that just shrugs it off when their product fails this badly. We've spent the last several weeks between the dealer and manufacturer trying to get resolution but nothing. It's our fault this happened they said. If we had only gotten it serviced by them then this wouldn't of happened. I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

When the steering wheel is turned completely to one side or the other there is a loud thud and the steering wheel "bucks". It has momentarily locked once. This is dangerous when driving. The Hyundai service center verified the issue. Advised not to turn the wheel all the way over and to disengage the auto engine idle. They said it was due to voltage issue. A copy of the service report is attached.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V633000 (Trailer Hitches) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

There were signs before it even happened. The gear got stuck in 5th gear and couldn't go up or down. Even after that, the shock and gear did not engage properly when shifting gears. That day, while driving at 40 miles, the gear shifted out and didn't engage any gear. I turned on my emergency lights, parked on the shoulder, turned off the engine, and then started again to get into gear and drive. After driving for about 5 minutes, the same symptoms occurred. brewed in the same way. I was so scared I drove slowly to the dealer

We received a Safety Recall for the Tow Hitch on our 2020 Hyundai Palisade. We took the vehicle to the dealership last summer and they removed the fuse and therefore, disabled the towing ability of the vehicle. It has been over 5 months since this was done. Hyundai still does not have a solution for the Safety Recall. What can be done to bring a resolution for this Safety Recall?
