2020 Hyundai Palisade complaints

Sunroof is not opening after inspecting I noticed the right side clip broke off it’s position leaving only the metal piece by itself

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while his wife was stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle experienced rough driving. The contact later discovered that the engine oil level was extremely low. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer performed an oil consumption test, an engine leak down, engine compression test, and carbon cleaning on the engine; however, the vehicle continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,700.

Have a 2020 Hyundai Palisade, last 4 of vin LU 149 938. The NHTSA.gov website under consumer alert important Hyundai and Kia recall says "as an interim repair, Hyundai dealers will inspect the tow hitch module and remove the fuse, as necessary." The neither Hyundai USA nor the local dealer (Bill Marsh Hyundai, Traverse City, MI) know anything about the interim repair (inspection & fuse removal) mentioned in the NHTSA consumer alert. What's going on? Is the NHTSA website incorrect? And how do I force the dealer to inspect my vehicle?

I came to complete stop at a traffic light. Once I got the green arrow I proceeded to accelerate but the car was barely moving. Mashing the gas harder it then began to move. Something seemed odd but wasn’t sure what. Continuing down the road I noticed my RPMs higher than usual for 45mph. Confirmed with paddle shifters the car was stuck in 5th gear. I came to the next light and car was not down shifting. Again green light, mashed the gas and slow to accelerate. After making it home and leaving the car sit for about 30 min I haven’t had the issue since. Had I been trying to cross the road during heavy traffic this could have been REALLY bad.

When exiting the vehicle the door ripped a gash in my right leg in the calf area. There was a recall, they supposedly fixed it. It happened again after the repair was made. It doesn't look to me the repair was made. It was repaired by Doug's Hyundai on 04/07/2022. I have contacted HyundaiUSA and have a case opened but all I am getting is the runaround. Case 20085813, contact is Haley 833.462.8722 ext 65118.

Power liftgate fell without warning and struck my wife in the head. Liftgate will go up and down when activated, but will fall without warning.

Drivers side window stopped working one month after purchasing brand new. Took to dealership and was told the ICU junction box needed replacing, but they did not have any in stock because vehicle was so new. Was told that this junction box also controls the door locks and that it posed a safety hazard as it could prevent me from being able to get out of the vehicle, but that they could not be held liable for me driving vehicle this way. Once they took my vehicle it took 3 weeks to repair. Now, 2 years later, both front windows and sunroof do not operate.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the front windshield had cracked without impact. The contact stated he had replaced the front windshield three times. The contact had taken the vehicle to a glass repair shop for the front windshield replacement. The vehicle was not diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

I have only had this car for 1.5 years and about 6months ago I keep hearing a thump from rear suspension then the alignment started going off pulling to the right. Take it to tire kingdom to be aligned and they told me the shocks are leaking. Go to dealer and they took one week to say one shock is bad but part will take another week to get here I tried to get them to change both as the tsb I found 22-ss-001h but they refuse and will only change one. How can I get them to follow this tsb? As at the moment the car dose not feel safe to drive and I shoul not be responsible for this issue of changing both shocks properly. Dealers should not be able to fight things like this as they avoiusly know thers issues but they won't honor it. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I may have to get lawyers involved. Thank you for you time.

I approached the intersection slowly and stopped completely to turn right. There were a couple of vehicles in front of mine. I pushed the 'Auto Hold' button while waiting on the Red light. A second later, I felt the car moving on its own and stepped on the brakes. The car did not stop and went forward and crashed into the vehicle in front of me. My vehicle did not stop after the initial collision and accelerated more on its own and went forward. I pushed the 'Park' button to stop the car but it did not work and the vehicle kept moving forward fast and hit another car. It still kept moving fast until it hit other things. The car stopped after it went through a wire fence and hit a tree. The brake did not work at all. The car never stopped once it started moving on its own. Forward collision warning never came when it was approaching the first vehicle in front of mine on its own. The 'check engine' light was on for 3 days and disappeared on its own about 1 month prior to the accident. I tried to take it to the service center immediately but the earliest appointment I could get was in June. The service adviser at Hyundai service said there was nothing that they can do since the warning light was not on when we asked for a service check on 6/11/22.

Dealership says that the car was 5qts of oil. Scarring on piston #6. Check engine light came on and indicated Transmission issue

This car has a vibration at highway speeds. I made the dealer aware of the issue and they said that the drive shaft needed to be replaced. They did the replacement and the vibration was still there. They then balanced the tires and that did not fix the issue. I went to a tire shop and had the tires balanced and did a 4 wheel alignment. The problem still exists. It does not make the car undriveable, but it is annoying and should not be happening. I do not know if this will have long term consequences on the drive train. The dealer now said they have done all they can.

Having a lot of issue with the rear seatbelt buckle being recessed to far into the seat to ensure it was properly buckled. There has been a few incidents where my child was unaware she did not fully buckle until the seatbelt came undone. It’s gotten to the point where we decided to put her back into the car seat rather than a booster due to how difficult it is to buckle the seatbelt correctly

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the tires were making a grinding sound. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several dealers. The first dealer diagnosed the failure with tire cupping. The second dealer diagnosed the failure and determined that the rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000. This car has become a dangerous noisy vehicle in the rain (due to tire cupping) and a real noisy vehicle during non-rainy operating days. The contact has stated that although the vehicle has a lifetime alignment, the issue still persisted and they no longer have the vehicle.

Car was originally purchased new on May 30, 2020. On July 30th, 2020, I noticed a chip in the windshield. The car only had roughly 600 miles. I did not hear anything hit the windshield. I experienced another ding in the windshield on January 23, 2021 and then another happened on April 14, 2022. I have never experienced any issue with any other car having this much windshield instability. The car is almost 2 years old as of this writing and at 14,516 total miles.

Windshield cracked

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that a crack was observed on the windshield starting in the middle of the glass under the rearview mirror. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the windshield cracked to the base of the windshield along the frame and across the driver's side. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent glass repair shop where the windshield was replaced. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving in inclement weather at an undisclosed speed, the front windshield wipers became inoperable causing a visibility hazard while driving. The contact veered to the side of the road and cleared the snow from the windshield and waited approximately 45 minutes before the windshield wiper regained normal function. While driving back to the residence the failure recurred. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle but could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The roads were icy and my son pulled over to wait out the storm. Our car was parked. Another car slid on the ice and stuck our Hyundai Palisade in the rear. It was a minor impact, no airbags deployed and nobody was injured. The steering column sheered off and the steering wheel was cut loose from the column. Hyundai has an open recall campaign on a similar model (NHTSA campaign #18V118000) for this exact problem of steering wheels sheering from the column. Hyundai sent an investigator to check the car and reports to me that there is no defect with my car. The insurance company is planning to repair the car, including the steering assembly, and return it to me. It is hard to believe that this incident, which occurred on a car built just a few months after the models that were recalled, could be a coincidence. There was no prior warning. The car is now at body repair shop and is available for inspection.

Front wipers stop unexpectedly operating when in moderate snow conditions. Wipers will not operate again for 3-4 minutes, leaving driver stranded on roadway. The dealer, after consultation with Hyundai tech support, says it appears the motor overheats but replacing it with a new motor will not solve the problem. The have not replaced it to verify that position. As the owner, this is a scary and dangerous situation when it occurs and appears that the motor overheats prematurely and then requires time to cool off. Problem has occurred 4 times. The fact that neither the dealer nor the manufacturer have responded with a solution

At 30K miles, the car started to make loud noises when driving over speed bumps, the smallest of road variations. Dealer detected the issue until Hyundai executives were contacted. Then, the dealer changed their story and confirmed the shocks on the car need to be redesigned in reinstalled and it's becoimg a national/ international problem. They are talking about the rear shocks only and not including the front . The issue with the shocks are wide spread and being discussed on the multiple forums. Very concerned about potential and major damage to the tires/car that can cause major accidents. .

Windshield cracks easily. It is a known issue and Hyundai has yet to recall it. Will have had to replace my windshield twice in two years for incidents that should have resulted in no crack or a small crack. Kia has addressed the issue on the Palisade's sister vehicle, the Telluride but Hyundai has not even offered to replace them for free or reimburse owner costs when they have made a faulty part. It's hazardous and costly and should have been recalled immediately for the safety of their drivers.

While on highway or driving over 30MPH, there begins a whistling noise that can get pretty loud on the highway. It seems as though the seal of the door is not properly molded around the door allowing the wind to get in and create a very annoying noise while driving.

A few days ago a small pebble was thrown up from a car in front of me while traveling from work which led to a small 1" spider crack in the windshield. By the next morning, this spider had grown to about 1' long. And now by the end of this week it has grown to more than 2' long.

2020 Hyundai Palisade purchased in May, 2020, amid COVID shutdown, and not driven as much as normal until September, 2020. In February, 2021 was driving along a 4-lane parkway (speed limit 55) and something struck the windshield. All other vehicles were at least 2 car lengths away and the sound of the strike sounded like an insect hitting the windshield. What resulted was a nickel sized, spidery crack on the passenger side, about a third of the way from the top. When Safelite attempted to repair this, it immediately spread out as they applied pressure while installing their equipment. Windshield had to be replaced (Hyundai glass used). August, 2021 car was being driven on 6-lane interstate (65mph) when a large rock struck the lower part of the passenger side of windshield. Large crack resulted which immediately spread across windshield, necessitating another windshield replacement (3rd party glass used). A week later, on 4-lane highway, while 2+ car lengths behind a semi, it sounded as if the car was being sprayed by sand followed by a loud pop. What resulted was a small crack at the edge of the passenger side which quickly spread horizontally until making an upward turn which slowed its progress. After waiting 6 weeks for a replacement (Hyundai glass) to come in, windshield was replaced for 3rd time on 11/2/21. Less than 24 hours later, while driving in traffic on 10-lane section of interstate (60mph), a loud pop occurred resulting in a nickel-sized, spidery chip in about th

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, an explosion was heard. Later, the sounds of marbles rolling around the vehicle were heard. When the contact opened the sunroof, she noticed the sunroof glass had detached. There was no impact on the sunroof that could have caused it to shatter. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the next available appointment would be in November. The contact contacted an independent mechanic and was able to schedule an upcoming appointment. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact they would call back. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Car was purchased new in May of 2020 and all systems worked as expected. After approx 3 months and 2000 miles the rear backup camera began to pixilate and then failed resulting in a blue screen. Went to a different dealer and they advised replacement of the camera. Returned vehicle to another dealer and they replaced the camera and it worked for about a month then pixilated and failed again. Took the car to a different dealer who checked the connections and cable and advised that the camera needed replacement again. This will be 4 Hyundai dealers that have looked at the car and camera now has a blue screen.

Windshield crack appeared near the roof line just to the drivers side of the rear view mirror and traveled immediately ~18 inches diagonally towards the passenger wiper blade. There appears to be a very tiny nick where the crack started, but if something hit the windshield it was so small we never heard it and the crack traveled instantly across the windshield. The car was hand washed the day prior and no cracks/chips were evident.

When driving down the tollway in my city early in the morning, no cars around for at least 200 yards, something small hit my windshield causing a spiderweb crack in the center of windshield. Will have owned the vehicle for 2 weeks as of tomorrow and has less than 3k miles on it.

I have a 2020 hyundai palisade and it only has 9000 miles on it. The driver side seat belt and the second row middle seat belt will not buckle anymore. The driver seat belt start just a few month after i bought the car. The second row middle seat belt issue looks like came with the new car , we did not know because we did not use that seat until now. The dealer is making this my issue and they are telling me , this is due things stuck in the seat belt and asking me to pay to fix the issue.

While we were in a store shopping the windshield spontaneously cracked. No reason, not caused by a rock chip or any other impact.

My back windshield shattered unprovoked once again. This is the second time.

The rear windshield shattered unprovoked. This was only 3 weeks after being repaired for the same issue. This is the third time.

I walked out to my vehicle in the driveway this morning and the windshield was cracked for no apparent reason. There were no visible chips near the crack. Crack extended from lower Driver's side corner upwards and across to almost the center-line. I also had to previously repair two chips in the windshield that did not appear to be from debris damage. It would appear that the windshield is defective as installed at the factory.

While driving in heavy rains , check engine light comes up and vehicle starts vibrating. Once the vehicle is stopped and restarted the light & vibration goes away. This happened twice in 2 months ( July & aug 2021) and while driving in Interstate. I did report to the dealer/service manager after the first time and they were not able to pull up any logs/codes from the vehicle computers. The second time, it happened, I took the photo of the same. First time it occured when I had about 17500 miles on the vehicle. Second time it was 19643 miles. Both times it was raining heavily and speed was between 40- 50 miles/hour

At 12,800 miles, while parked, a 18'' to 24'' windshield crack spontaneously appeared originating from the lower, passenger side edge, sloping up towards driver side. Nothing came into contact with the glass, and no chipped starting point is visible.

Steering wheel makes whirring sound when turned. Service department aknowledged the problem and replaced the worm gear in the steering shaft. Issue went away. Now about 5000 miles since repair the same issue is back.

No problems

On interstate highway in South Dakota in September 2020, a small pebble came off the road surface creating a small chip on front windshield. Within one hour the windshield had a crack horizontally covering the entire windshield. This caused a complete one day delay on our vacation trip as the windshield had to be replaced at a local Safelite location. Certainly the delay was an inconvenience but more important we are concerned about our safety. This occurred when vehicle was less than 2 months old. Now it is July, 2021 and on another interstate a small pebble came off the road and caused a small chip in the lower left windshield. Next day the small crack started to run requiring a compete windshield repair AGAIN. If a small pebble can do this immediate damage, I fear the entire windshield could shatter causing a major accident or at worst a fatality. Safelite and Travelers Insurance have all documentation regarding the two incidents.

The vehicle's air bag warning light on dash was noted to be intermittently illuminated when car being driven, and only when passenger is in front passenger seat. Car taken to dealer, air bag sensor in front seat to be replaced. Problem has persisted despite being repaired three times by the dealership. Error codes remain the same or similar when checked by dealership. Repair records can be furnished on request.

A small rock hit the windshield and a huge crack ran all the way across at 7,000 miles. Before I even Had time to replace the windshield another crack in a totally different location developed. Extremely unsafe!

The auto glass must all be restored. It’s essential that the windows/ windshield be in good condition at all times. Driving with a chipped or cracked windshield may put me and my passengers at risk for injury in the event of a rollover or collision. I do not feel safe with this windshield as the crack spread halfway within 24hours.

About 1 1/2 hours into a 7 hr trip driving on vacation the car started running rough. Upon slowing the engine shut off several times. The car started knocking and the check engine light came on about 30 min from our destination. We took it to the closest Hyundai dealer who informed us the engine needed to be replaced because it had no oil in it. We NEVER had a low oil light or check oil light come on. I had checked the oil life before we left on our trip and knew I had a cushion of several hundred miles before it was due for an oil change. This could have caused all of us in the car since the car shut off and all power was gone.

My tire was losing air so we took it to a local tire shop to be repaired thinking it had a nail in it or something. Turns out it was losing air because the wheel was cracked and slightly bent. The only 2 people who drive this car are my husband and I and neither of us could recall hitting or running over anything. The Hyundai dealer refused to submit a warranty claim (car had 16,200 miles on it), so we called Hyundai corporate and they submitted a warranty claim that would be assigned to a case manager and they would get back to us. That was 5/24 and by 6/15 we still hadn't heard anything back from them in spite of calling 3 more times to check the status of the case. I believe either this particular wheel was defective or the engineering design of the wheel is wrong. We still have the wheel for inspection. No warning lights other than the low tire pressure warning came on. The dealer inspected the wheel twice and Les Schwab (tire place) inspected it twice and installed a used ("take-off") wheel for us yesterday. The tire had no damage and there was no damage of any kind anywhere on my car, so I find it hard to believe that we could have hit something so hard to crack the wheel but had no other damage and couldn't remember any such event. The crack is over 1 inch long and absolutely could have caused a blowout or accident, so we weren't able to use the car much for a month except right around our home.

VEHICLE WINDSHIELD STARTED CRACKING AT THE TOP MIDDLE AND MOVED DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. WE DID NOT NOTICE ANY ROCK HITS TO HAVE CAUSED IT. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE EDGE. IT HAS NOW STARTED TO DO THE SAME TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. FROM RESEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD IT SEEMS LIKE THE WINDSHIELD CRACKING IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE.

The windshield was hit with a pebble at a low speed of around 35mph. There were no other cars within about 3 car lanes, so this was not a high-impact situation. However, the pebble cracked still cracked the windshield. The dealers confirmed that this model vehicle has a high incidence of cracked windshields that could potentially lead to injury or harm. I am worried that a truly high-impact rock would be life-threatening to the passengers.

It is extremely difficult to buckle the seatbelt around our childrens' booster seats. We have a six and nine-year-old who are fully capable of buckling their own seats. However, they are unable to buckle in this vehicle due to the limited slack on the buckle and the narrow captains' chairs in the second row. I am barely able to buckle them and often concerned that the clip did not secure properly due to the challenging nature of the process. This is a safety concern because if we were to wreck and it was not secured, my children's lives would be at risk.

Emergency brakes came on ,on the freeway twice ,and one in front ,no other car around. on the right side a person in the parking lot while the car was moving about 2 mph ,walked next too the car and it felt like one brake came on only to slow me down and did not stop ,just braked for 2 seconds ,like on the freeway all the brakes came on the freeway, but in the parking lot only one came on it felt like.

THIS IS A USED 2020 PALISADE. I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE OWNER ON THE MYHUNDAI APP SO THE OLD OWNER CAN START MY CAR REMOTELY, CHANGE THE MODES OF AUTOPILOT CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT MY PERMISSION ENDANGERING THE PASSENGERS. THE WEBSITE TO UPDATE THE OWNER IS BROKEN. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI SUPPORT 5 TIMES OVER A MONTH AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND UPDATED MY INFORMATION AND TO UPDATE THE OWNER BUT IT STILL WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE IT AFTER SUBMITTING THE REG, BILL OF SALE, AND MY DRIVERS LIC IMAGE AS REQUESTED.

Windshield chipped and subsequently cracked with no noticeable impact with any rock or other object.
