2023 Hyundai Palisade Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 26V034000 (Air Bags) and 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The dealer was contacted several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I have reached out multiple times to the dealership to fix my car but it’s been months since the recalls. I have three kids and I all rows in my car are unsafe due to the seatbelts.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding four recalls on my 2023 Hyundai Palisade in the past year, two of which remain unresolved due to lack of parts or remedy. We received notification of the seatbelt recall in October and scheduled with our local Hyundai dealership. Upon arriving at our appointment, we were told there were no parts to complete the repair and that there was a months long waitlist because Hyundai corporate was only sending out a limited number per dealership. Those parts had to be installed before each dealership could order more resulting in a huge back order. I called two other dealerships in our area and all had the same story. It has now been nearly 6 months and I called again to be informed there was another recall on this recall and they have stopped fixing it altogether with no ETA on resolution. In addition, while waiting for the seatbelt recall remedy, we were notified of the third row airbags being defective and there is currently not even a waitlist, remedy, or ETA for resolution for this one either. With the seatbelts unsafe on the first two rows and the airbags unsafe in the third row our entire car doesn’t have a single safe seat for our family, including two children under the age of [XXX] , to sit. This is totally irresponsible on Hyundai’s part and I think they need to be held responsible for all of these mismanaged recalls. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Hyundai’s handling of these recalls and consider requiring interim accommodations for affected owners, such as loaner vehicles or vehicle buyback. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety issue involving my 2023 Hyundai Palisade that is currently unresolved and directly impacts the safety of my children and passengers. My vehicle is subject to an open safety recall (Recall 292 – ejection mitigation) for which there is currently no available remedy. In addition to this unresolved recall, I am experiencing an active failure of the seatbelt system. The seatbelts do not consistently latch and/or will not remain securely latched, creating an immediate risk to occupants. Replacement seatbelt components were ordered in January, and I have been informed they are on backorder with no estimated timeline for repair. As of today, the issue remains unresolved. This situation presents a severe safety concern. The vehicle has compromised occupant protection systems, including both restraint failure (seatbelts) and an open recall involving ejection mitigation. I regularly transport children in this vehicle and cannot rely on the safety systems to function properly. I have contacted Hyundai Motor America and opened a case to resolve this issue. However, Hyundai has not provided a repair, has not provided a safe alternative vehicle, and has not offered a viable solution. I was offered rental reimbursement, but I am unable to pay out of pocket for a rental vehicle upfront, and the reimbursement limit does not cover a comparable vehicle suitable for transporting my family. As a result, I am being left with no reasonable or safe option: either continue operating a vehicle with known safety defects or assume financial burden that I cannot afford in order to obtain temporary transportation. I am requesting that this issue be investigated, including: * The delay in remedy for Recall 292 * The failure and parts shortage related to seatbelt systems * The lack of manufacturer support for consumers facing active safety risks This vehicle is not safe for normal use under current conditions.

Acceleration hesitation on numerous occasions. Seat belt recall, unresolved. Waiting for parts for over two months. Also waiting for dealership availability and also, I need an available loaner car. I have to drive my child around frequently for personal reasons. I use my third row and there's no remedy for the third row safety recall. The second row seat belts are constantly being stuck and inoperable.

Hyundai has opened an internal case, number 42429100 Their only resolution is to leave the vehicle at a dealership and rent a car at my own expense. They have offered to give me a slight discount on a trade, but all comparable vehicles are under safety recalls as well. They have offered no effective solution and I have no manner to safely transport my family. The vehicle is subject to an active safety recall (NHTSA Recall 26V034) for failure to meet federal ejection mitigation standards (FMVSS 226) due to curtain airbag performance in the third row. According to the manufacturer, there is currently no available remedy for this condition. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealership, which confirmed that the recall is active and that no repair can be performed at this time. A separate seatbelt-related recall was completed during the inspection. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the recall notices. Because there is no available remedy and no timeline for repair, the vehicle cannot be restored to a condition that meets federal safety standards within a reasonable timeframe. This impacts the ability to safely transport occupants, particularly in scenarios involving side impact or rollover crashes where ejection mitigation is required. The manufacturer has not provided a functional resolution, such as a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation, and advised leaving the vehicle at the dealership without support. This leaves the owner without a safe and usable vehicle for normal family transportation.

I own a 2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited that currently has confirmed active safety recalls affecting critical passenger safety systems, including the third-row side-curtain airbag recall and the second-row seat belt buckle recall. We have experienced firsthand the seat belts coming unbuckled during driving. These recalls affect hundreds of thousands of Palisade vehicles and involve defects where third-row airbags may not properly deploy in a crash and seat belt buckles may fail to latch correctly, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. Despite contacting my dealership, I have been given inconsistent information and no clear remedy timeline, leaving me with a vehicle that I reasonably believe is unsafe to operate and significantly diminished in value. I am seeking legal review regarding potential class action participation, consumer protection claims, or compensation for owning a vehicle with unresolved safety defects. At this time their only remedy offered is to swap the palisade for a lender Santa Fe until it is repaired, this is something I have pressed for persistently to achieve.

Manufacturer Recall Number283 NHTSA Recall Number25V607000 I took my car to McGovern Hyundai in Arlington, MA to have the seat belt recall issue fixed. The recall was issued in September 2025. I was told that they cannot fix the issue because they do have the parts. I have children who ride in the backseat of my car everyday. It is unsafe and unacceptable for Hyundai not to have the parts to address this recall.

I've been trying to get defective seat belt replaced since December 2025 as we've had occurrences where the buckle will come unlatched. The dealer just says there are no parts available and it's been 4 months!

We were driving on a residential street, and our sunroof just exploded!

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact became aware on the website that the VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 26V034000 (Air Bags) and 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time to complete the recall repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure.

When moving forward at very slow speed, the steering wheel bounces as if it had been hit by something and we hear a loud "thunk". The whole front end of the car vibrates. This has also happened once while completely stopped at a traffic signal. This has been happening for several months, and we know that others have reported the same problem, but the dealer is unresponsive. We are worried that the steering could fail at speed, and are losing confidence in the car.

When coming to a stop at a slow speed on uneven ground, my vehicle would not brake. It vibrated and wouldn’t gain traction like the antilock breaking system activated. I had to pump the brake multiple times to finally get the car to stop before hitting the vehicle in front of me. This has happened multiple times when coming to a This has happened multiple times when coming to a stop over the railroad tracks. Upon researching the issue, this seems to be a frequent issue with the Hyundai palisade.

Rear Shocks Failed. Were Replaced under warranty. This is the second time this has occurred

Our vehicle has yet another active recall, without a remedy. The vehicle is “unsafe in event of a crash in the third row”. I specifically bought this vehicle because I have children and need the third row. We spent 40 days with a rental vehicle in December because of a recall with a seat belt that had no remedy and are again having to request a rental. Hyundai is denying our claim for a buyback because of this new issue, which is unacceptable. This vehicle is unsafe. Hyundai cannot fix it. There needs to be a buyback.

I was driving on the highway at about 65-70 MPH and the sunroof spontaneously shattered. It sounded like an explosion. No object hit the car. We were in Nevada and the outside temp was in the mid 60s. The inside air conditioning was set at 69. We pulled over to inspect and take a picture. I have read about numerous complaints of this happening going back to the 2021 models and as recently as the 2024 models. We had the shade closed, but if it were open glass could have sprayed all over the car and into my passengers eyes, faces, etc. It is scary and dangerous.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V607000 (SEAT BELTS) and 26V034000 (AIR BAGS). The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s side seat belt buckle unlatched from the channel independently. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the contact was informed that parts for the recall repairs were on back order, and only fifteen seat belt buckles were being shipped to dealers, and each vehicle needed four seat belts. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not experienced a failure with the air bags. 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 manufacturer provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

I purchased this car in September 2025 and learned about the seatbelt recall shortly thereafter. Since then I have been waiting for the repair- my local dealership has had the parts on back order since then. My children ride in the 2nd row and the seatbelt has come unlatched while we were driving on 5 separate occasions. This is unacceptable and put my children’s lives at risk. Hyundai should have parts available to fix this immediately. I need to know what can be done to ensure my children are safe. I have to drive my car so I don’t know what else to do. I need assistance for a solution.

Hyundai issued recall 292 "A VEHICLES THAT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THIS STANDARD MIGHT HAVE INCREASED RISK OF INJURY TO THIRD ROW OCCUPANTS DURING CERTAIN CRASHES INCLUDING A ROLLOVER." on January 22, 2026. As of the time of this filing, February 4, 2026, there is no remedy available. The Palisaid I own is impacted and we are unable to safely use the vehicle as intended for 3 of the 7 vehicle seats. I have contacted Hyundai Corporate and was assigned a case manager; as of February 3, 2026, his response was "I completely understand that one of your primary reasons for purchasing this vehicle was to accommodate your family using the third-row seating, and I truly apologize on behalf of HMA for the inconvenience this situation has caused. At this time, because the vehicle remains operational, we are unfortunately unable to offer compensation or an alternate vehicle until an official remedy becomes available. Please know that we recognize how frustrating this experience can be, and we appreciate your patience while we await further updates." I do not consider the vehicle "operational" when occupants of the seats may be more injured during a crash.

This complaint concerns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade subject to two active safety recalls that remain unresolved, creating an ongoing safety risk. The first involves noncompliance with FMVSS 226 (Ejection Mitigation), identified in a January 2026 recall. The manufacturer has acknowledged the vehicle may not meet federal occupant protection requirements but has provided no remedy and no timeline for repair. The second involves defective seat belt buckle assemblies that may fail to properly latch. An authorized dealer confirmed the condition and advised that parts have been ordered; however, no estimated arrival date or repair timeline has been provided. As a result, the repair cannot presently be completed. The vehicle is used to transport young children in rear-facing car seats that rely on properly functioning seat belts for secure installation. The inability to ensure proper seat belt function, combined with the lack of compliance with FMVSS 226, presents an ongoing safety risk. Despite multiple written inquiries, the dealer has not provided any written confirmation regarding repair timing, instead offering only verbal and unverifiable updates. The manufacturer has been placed on written notice but has not provided any substantive response or identified an available remedy. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized dealer, who confirmed the recalls and the current inability to complete repairs. These conditions have persisted for months without an available repair path, leaving the vehicle in continuous use despite known safety defects and federal noncompliance. The inability to obtain a verifiable repair timeline or confirm parts availability demonstrates that the defects cannot be remedied within a reasonable time. Supporting documentation is attached. The lack of available remedy, combined with the inability to complete or verify recall repairs for safety-critical restraint systems, leaves occupants exposed to preventable injury risks in crash scenarios.

Along with the two recalls of which I have not been contacted by Hyundai or provided any form of remedy, this is highly concerning and makes me feel extremely unsafe driving my vehicle, especially with the fact that I have small children and teenagers. My car had an issue from inception that I’ve let the dealer know about that. They still have not fixed including the fact that well I’ll be driving on certain roads are on the highway. It’ll come up with a warning telling me that I’m going the wrong way and try to engage the automatic breaking system. In addition, the second row seatbelt has been stuck and it won’t go back in. The third row seats often times try to disengage and come down. Anytime I hit a small bump or go over a speed bump even very slow. My Bluetooth goes off-line as well as the Navigation and then it comes back online within 3 to 5 minutes. Carr seems to have had a number of odd issues, including the way the engine has sounded as well as the electrical system is not engaging properly. I feel highly unsafe continuing to drive this vehicle and until all recalls and full proper analysis is conducted to remedy these issues I would want Either a full refund of the cash value that I purchased my vehicle for, a brand new vehicle at no additional charge, or a loaner vehicle until all of these issues are remedied, and then a full analysis to ensure that it meets the standards. My preference would be to get a full refund of the cash value in which I purchased my vehicle for so I can get something else that is more safe for my family.

The vehicle engine shuts off out of nowhere, unable to change/switch between gears for 2-3 minutes after stopping at a red light, stop sign, or during heavy traffic, with no activation of the Idle-stop-system before the incident. During the incident, the vehicle's steering was not able to turn. I have to keep my foot on the brake pedal for a while. After the second incident, I managed to drive the vehicle carefully and slowly to the dealership, but I was told there was no problem with the vehicle. So, I requested to take a drive with a mechanic, and the engine shut off in the middle of the street while slowing down for the third time. The dashboard reads "Auto stop is off." Shift to P or N and start engine manually. vehicle still at the dealership for 5 days.

I am reporting a recurring, life-threatening electronic failure in my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. On [XXX], while turning into an intersection, the vehicle's brakes spontaneously engaged, stalling the car in the path of oncoming traffic. During this event, multiple critical safety systems failed simultaneously, including the headlights and horn, leaving me unable to warn other drivers. A "violent" surge was required to clear the intersection, risking a high-speed collision. Similar spontaneous recurrences occurred on [XXX] and [XXX], and most recently on [XXX]. These incidents are characterized by "phantom braking," total loss of propulsion, and a complete lack of interior/exterior electronic response. Technical Evidence: Diagnostic scans revealed 16 distinct fault codes (including C161608, C181287, and U012687) involving the Chassis Control Module, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and communication buses. Despite these logged codes, Hyundai and the dealership have repeatedly returned the vehicle to me, stating they "cannot replicate" the issue, thereby dismissing a documented electronic record of failure. Arbitration Status: I entered into BBB Auto Line Arbitration (Case #[XXX]). Hyundai has contested the claim by attempting to manipulate the "start date" of the defect to February 2024 to avoid Lemon Law statutes, despite dealer records confirming the first occurrence in August 2023. As of January 13, 2026, the dealership is again attempting to force me to take delivery of the unrepaired vehicle. This vehicle is a "phantom" safety hazard. The manufacturer’s inability to replicate a logged electronic fault during a brief test drive does not mitigate the extreme risk of sudden braking and power loss at highway speeds. I am requesting a formal investigation into these specific fault codes and the electronic integrity of this model.

At low speed, and today for the first time completed stopped at a stop sign, we here and feel a very loud "thunk" through the steering wheel and coming from under the front end of the vehicle. It's very loud and jerks the steering wheel when it happens, and can be felt through the car seats as well. The whole vehicle seems to shake. This has happened so far approximately ten times, and we are losing confidence in the car's safety. The dealer told us that he had not heard of this problem, but we know that to be untrue, because a simple google search reveals that it is a known issue.

Safety recalls and I don’t feel safe with my children in car

In compliance with the safety recall issued for my vehicle regarding the defective seat belts, I brought my vehicle in to Vision Hyundai, Canandaigua, NY for the recall work to be completed. Upon the service department's investigation of the seat belt components, they discovered further issues with it, beyond what was initially identified under the recall. Service department advises that it will take minimum of 1 month to obtain parts and make repairs. Service department issued a compact SUV which is not capable of safely installing my child car seat, or carrying the number of passengers which my affected vehicle does, putting a strain on our family's routine needs. Additionally, the affected vehicle was brought into the shop to address a powertrain issue where the vehicle loses all power and will not accelerate over 20mph, posing a serious safety concern. Hyundai has not provided any update on this or how it will be handled.

I’m frustrated with the seatbelt recall. The dealership has been amazing at assisting us, but it’s Hyundai that’s dropping the ball with only release 2 seatbelt buckles per week, per dealership. I have 2 seatbelts in my vehicle that are randomly coming unbuckled. I’ve had a few appointments trying to get it fixed, but they can’t get the parts in. Then to receive a letter in the mail about the third row seat. This isn’t just my daily driver, I haul 4 kids in this vehicle with 2 seatbelts coming unbuckled! This should be a priority in fixing, all of it.

Safety recall on seatbelts and no remedy big safety issues with minor children in the back

I was at work and went to move my car in our parking garage. I hit a bump and my front tires started to shake along with my steering wheel, and my brakes wouldn't work. I briefly lost total control over the brakes, steering wheel and tires causing me to almost hit a parked vehicle before everything self corrected. No alerts came on. I recently was hit on my rear passenger side and had repairs done to my vehicle. I had also experienced this shortly after I purchased the car and the dealership supposedly fixed the issue. I’m not shew if the wreck causes this issue to malfunction again or what, but this isn’t safe. I just reported the issue to the collision center that recently repaired my vehicle. Waiting on a response.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that occasionally, while driving at various speeds, the front driver's side seat belt buckle failed to remain latched securely. The seat belt warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired due to the parts being on backorder. The local dealer provided the contact with a loaner vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Vehicle fails to stop when braking after a bump/rough surface in the road. Near miss for rear ending another vehicle. Yes, the problem was reported and demonstrated to the dealer service technician. Yes, the manufacturer has inspected the vehicle. No warnings and has had symptoms since purchase of vehicle in 2023

2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE VIN [XXX] Vehicle rear shock absorbers failed. Steering and drivability adversely impacted. Many many many complaints online document these defective parts and Hyundai's failure to resolve problems and supply properly functioning parts. Hyundai customer service is useless and claims no information on replacement part availability or time. Now that Hyundai has their newest problem of killing babies in their defective third row seats, I would have thought Hyundai would resolve outstanding issues. NHTSA needs to intervene now.

The headlights are fogging up on the inside of headlight with condensation. This problem will lead to two issues. The ability to see at night and I believe the plastic lens will become damaged over time. My friend who has the same type of vehicle including year has the same issue. His vehicle was in a accident. The part for the headlight was $1500. I looked inside the headlight and their are packages of Dri-eaz to absorb the condensation. Since these packages will only absorb for a limited time the issue appears will only get worse and the Manufacture must have know of this issue.

Under normal braking pressures, crossing uneven surfaces, even as normal as markings painted on the road surfaces will result in the abs intervening to a degree beyond what is necessary or safe. No warning lamps or indicators are illuminated, but when this happens, you can hear and feel exaggerated feedback through the brake pedal. The problem has not been able to be replicated by a dealer, but this unnecessary intervention by the abs system dramatically increases stopping distances, resulting in dangerous situations such as rolling through a stop sign into oncoming traffic, or into the rear of the vehicle in front of you. Typically when this problem occurs, the abs will not stop interfering until the brake pedal is completely released and reapplied. The problem has been inspected by a dealer, but with them failing to reproduce the issue, they have not confirmed the issue yet.

I am writing to report a recurring safety-related issue with my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The rear shocks on my vehicle failed at approximately 29,000 miles and were replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, the same components have failed again at around 65,000 miles, resulting in a noticeably rough, unstable, and unsafe ride. The repeated failure of these suspension parts raises concerns about the durability and reliability of the vehicle’s rear shock system, as well as the potential risk it poses to occupants and other drivers. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed to determine whether a broader defect investigation is warranted.

Subject: Urgent Formal Complaint – Vehicle Withheld, Recall Delays, Inadequate Rental, and Financial Damages Good morning, VIN number [XXX] Hyundai Palisade 2023 I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the handling of my Hyundai Palisade, which has now been at the dealership for 15 days without a clear timeline for return. My vehicle’s battery is damaged and is covered under warranty. However, when I brought it in, I was informed that the battery could not be replaced until the recalls on my vehicle were repaired. Despite this requirement, the dealership does not have the parts necessary to complete the recall repairs, and I have been left without my vehicle indefinitely because the parts are on backorder. During this time, I have been deprived of the full use and convenience of my vehicle, which directly impacts my daily responsibilities and family activities. The dealership provided me with a Tucson rental, for which I was charged $135, yet this vehicle is not comparable to my 7-passenger AWD Palisade. As a result: My visiting family cannot all fit in the Tucson, forcing me to pay for additional transportation (Ubers). My Palisade has a hitch, and I have been unable to use my boat for more than 15 days. I am unable to prepare for an upcoming Christmas trip that my children and I have been planning all year—one of the key reasons I purchased an AWD SUV for safety and winter travel. The dealership refuses to release my vehicle, stating “safety reasons.” However, I have been driving my children in this same vehicle for more than two years without being informed that it was unsafe. This sudden refusal raises serious concerns. If the vehicle was unsafe, why wasn’t I notified earlier? And who is responsible for the consequences now? Meanwhile, today I must make a monthly car payment for a vehicle I do not currently have. What exactly am I paying for? This situation is directly caused by Hyundai’s parts shortage and recall process, not by any fault INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the driver’s seat belt and the driver’s side second-row seat belt became inoperable. The contact stated that the driver’s seat belt failed to latch properly, and the second-row driver’s side seat belt intermittently failed to latch. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts). The dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available for the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The manufacturer escalated the issue for repair at the dealer; however, the vehicle was still not yet repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.

I was stopped at a stop sign with my foot firmly on the brake and vehicles engine starting revving. Next was stopped at my mailbox with the foot firmly on the brake and engine started revving again. Next, I was pulling into my garage and had just taken my foot off of the brake and engine revved again, this time propelling me into my garage wall. I have a video of the car pulling into the garage and you can hear the car accelerate.

When turning the wheel at low speeds the steering wheel suddenly hits something like a steel wall and sometimes huts the wrist of the driver. it feels like a piece of steel blocking the rotation of the steering wheel. This happens now on a regular basis. Dealership can't remedy the situation and refuses to contact corporate technical dept for a remedy.

The seatbelt not only doesn’t buckle on multiple attempts, it has become unbuckled while driving, after knowingly securing it. The dealership says there is a fix but it is back ordered, I have been driving an unsafe vehicle for 2 months and Hyundai has done nothing to ensure my safety.

This is the second time I’ve had this incident. I was driving in the middle of nowhere Texas, no other cars or pedestrians were present. There were no overpasses or construction and out of nowhere. My sunroof exploded at 50 miles an hour. The weather was fair around 60°. This being the second time it had happened. I knew it was a sunroof and did not open the cover to inspect. I pulled over, got out of my car and looked and saw that my sunroof had blown out and upwards. The first time this happened, it was covered with minimal effort. Now that this has happened a second time with the car less than two years old I have to wait for the manufacturer to confirm it will be covered again.

I was driving down a 4 lane highway at 70mph with no landscaping, cars or trucks around me what so ever and my sunroof imploded on me. Luckily my sunshade was closed. The glass was domed outwards like pressure from inside the cabin pushed it out and shattered into tiny pieces. Hyundai is aware of this issue but is not willing to cover it under warranty. My vehicle isn't even 3 years old and has less than 30,000 miles on it. I bought this vehicle due to all the great reviews about the warranty, well now that I need something fixed under warranty, they are not willing to help me out.

I'm also a victim of Hyundai's defective Rear suspension. Another complain fully encompasses my situation and feelings. I and others have been replacing rear shocks every 10,000 to 20,000 miles due to failure. The upper trim models will use a self-leveling shock in the rear suspension, part number(s) 55367-S8BDO right side and 55367-S8BBO left side. The lower model trim uses a larger coil spring and non-self-leveling shocks, with no issues. The failure happens within just a few thousand miles. Search web forums for Hyundai Palisades and NHTSA you will find hundreds of issues. The model years affected are 2020 through 2025. The 2026 has completely changes the rear suspension setup and eliminated the self-leveling shock. It appears IMO the manufacture is counting on the warranty expiring and or the resale market to correct their problem. Hyundai refuses to recall the vehicles and correct the problem. They will change the shocks with the same faulty product biding their time. The third most common critical reason for a car accident cited in the NHTSA report was a combination of “steering/suspension/transmission/engine-related problems.” This combination category accounted for just 3 percent of the traffic accidents cited in the report. Part of the reason why these mechanical failures are rarely cited as the critical reason for a car accident is that they’re harder to document and identify post-crash. Blown tires & worn brakes are easy to spot, but problems with the suspension caused by wear and tear are harder to sort out from the damage incurred in the crash. Steering and suspension problems can cause a loss of control over your vehicle at inopportune moments. Transmission and engine problems could keep you from being able to accelerate quickly if the need arises—leaving you stranded in an intersection with oncoming traffic and at risk of a car accident.

Need a recall!! Please!

It's time you finally step up and have Hyundai issue a recall on the rear shocks that fail. The problem is on the upper trim models with self leveling shocks. The shocks fail and will need to be replaced every few thousand miles. The problem exist for years 2020 to 2025. The new models for 2026 Hyundai has completely reworked the rear suspension and no longer uses the self leveling shock. The dealership ADMITS they stock a fair number of shock parts due to the constant failure. Unless you are in the pockets with Hyundai it's time for you NHTSA to make some noise and require a recall...The rear suspension can be corrected with larger coil springs and non-self leveling shocks. I have been through 3 sets of shocks in 25,250 miles. Do you see a problem, or should I call and talk with someone?

My wife and I were coming up to a stop sign the other day and we hit some bumps in the road and were unable to apply the brakes. I pressed down on the pedal but the car went into the intersection before the brakes then applied and the car was then able to stop again. Thank god!! since there was another car coming to the intersection. The car made noises like when the traction control kicks on after hitting a slippery surface on the road, but the car was not stopping and pressing the brakes did not do anything either. I also tried pumping the brakes on the car, but eventually the brakes kicked back in and we came to a hard stop. I have not taken the car into the shop to be looked at yet, but I know Hyundai and they wont find a problem with it and then charge me around $300 for them just to look at it. There was no warning to problem happening as we had never had this problem before and there was no lights on the display for the car when the problem happened.

We were almost in a major accident with 6 passengers in our 2023 Hyundai Palisade. On Wednesday, Oct 1, 2025 we were driving our Palisade to McDonalds off Highway 98 (Navarre Parkway). Please see pics. When we left McDonalds we went on a side road to enter Highway 98. Now on this side road (see pictures) there is some type of metal grate in between the road...well when we went over the grate approaching the stop sign the Palisade went into an immediate violent shudder and there was no control of the vehicle as it felt it was shut down even though I could tell it was on by the interior lights on the gauges. I had absolutely no control of the vehicle. Yes, I was the one driving. I could not brake and the Palisade continue to roll past the stop sign onto Highway 98 with on coming traffic. I couldn't even steer the car because its as though the car had no power. It was totally dead. With my foot pressed hard on the brakes that still did not work I tried to start the car and then it came on. My wife has told me that she experienced this issue at least six times passing this same road and others similar to it. This was the first time I experienced it and we were lucky we were not hit by oncoming traffic. Again, no brakes, no steering control. We were traveling at a slow speed as we were approaching the stop sign on that road with the metal grate, maybe 5 mph or less, but as soon as we went over the grates...all control of the Palisade was lost. Please advise us what to do...as I said we almost had a major accident with 6 passengers because the Palisade did not function as it was designed to do.

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding an open safety recall involving the rear seatbelts in my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. One of the rear seatbelts will not latch at all, despite following all manufacturer-recommended troubleshooting steps. This defect directly impacts child passenger safety. I have two young children who use forward-facing car seats that require a functional vehicle seatbelt. Because the seatbelt does not latch, I am unable to safely install a forward-facing car seat in this position. Hyundai has issued a recall but states that no remedy or repair will be available until January, leaving my family without a safe seating position for my child for several months. The dealership has provided no interim solution, loaner vehicle, or alternative safety accommodation. The dealership informed us yesterday that they don't anticipate getting the part until February or March. We are facing long-distance holiday travel, and I am deeply concerned about the risk of injury in the event of a crash due to a known, unrepaired safety defect. I am requesting NHTSA review this matter and assist in ensuring an appropriate interim remedy or manufacturer-provided solution while the recall repair is pending.
