Seat Belts
Filed Oct 27, 2026NY

A rear seatbelt recall notification was made in September of 2025. I made multiple follow up phone calls with Hyundai in regards to this recall as I have a child that sits in the rear seat. Every time I called, I was informed the part(s) were not in. It has now been over a year with no remedy in sight. It does not seem like there is any desire to fix this recall and it will remain outstanding for the entirety of the vehicle.

I had recall 283 and 292 completed at Hyundai Autonation Savannah on Abercorn 10-19-26. There are pieces broken and screws of some kind left on the floor. Additionally, the clip was broken on the underseat airbag I believe it is from my research. I have concerns about the safety of the seat and the assembly of the components. I fear that if the seat moves forward, could that cause injury to my child in the seat. Could the seatbelt not work properly? I have reached out repeatedly to have an inspection done and received no assistance. I can’t pay out of pocket right now for an inspection of the vehicle seats and safety belts. I have photo documentation of my concerns. The cosmetic aspect of it can be handled via emails and me reaching out to corporate but the safety of the seats must be addressed. I don’t know if you can help me or not. Thank you for your time.

I came to a complete stop at the stop sign and waited for several vehicles to pass on the street I needed to turn onto. I proceed to turn right but the vehicle stalled mid turn. The motor rev'd as I pressed the gas and made weird noises like the truck was stuck in neutral although it was in drive. The tires would not spin to propel me forward. I was stuck in the middle of the street. I shut the truck down for about a minute while flagging others to go around me then started the truck up again. The issue cleared. This has happened several times. Other times, the dashboard display completely blacked out and the drivemode button (eco vs sport vs comfort) changed on it's own and I was not able to manually change settings or get the dashboard to reappear or get the truck to move forward when placed in drive gear. I had to power cycle the truck to get it to work. Very unsafe to be stranded in the road. Dealership reported no trouble found, issue cannot be replicated. I also have suspension issues and reported power loss while driving. Please investigate.

I am reporting a serious potential braking-system safety defect involving my 2024 Hyundai Palisade Night AWD. I experienced steering-wheel vibration when braking and an incident in which the brakes were extremely difficult to apply effectively, leaving me unable to stop in an emergency as needed. This created a serious risk of a collision and injury to me, my passengers, and others on the road. I am concerned that the vehicle’s braking system may not perform reliably when rapid or emergency stopping is required. My vehicle was serviced at Morrie’s 394 Hyundai in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Following an extended period of recall-related service beginning March 20, 2026, the vehicle was marked ready on July 3, 2026, under Repair Order #[XXX]. I subsequently brought the vehicle back on July 6, 2026, under Repair Order #[XXX], reporting rattling and grinding associated with driving and braking. The dealership documented resurfacing all four brake rotors. I am concerned that the steering-wheel vibration and serious difficulty stopping may indicate a braking problem that requires further investigation. The July service documentation references a “Vehicle Health Report With Video” and a completed vehicle health report. However, on October 16, 2026, the dealership verbally told me that no vehicle health diagnostic video was conducted on July 6 and that the only video was from March 23. The available portal screenshot identifies a video dated March 23, 2026. I am requesting review of t

Suspension and driveability issues. Seat belt safety recall not completed after several attempts. 1. SUSPENSION: Suspension noises (popping, clunking, creaking, etc). Difficulty controlling vehicle on the freeway; it sways and I wrestle with wheel to drive and keep in lane despite having multiple lane and driver assist features. AWD equipped however rear suspension loses power and struggles to drive on uneven surfaces. Vehicle is unstable, rocks from side to side while turning and feels like it will flip over. Purchased new tires and had wheel alignment and balancing done but have to keep getting wheel alignment for pulling and non-centered steering wheel. Ride is not smooth, feels bumpy and bouncy. Steering wheel, seat, and pedals still vibrate and shake after new tire service. New tires have abnormal and premature wear. Complained about issues to dealership with suspension and driveability and they told me it was normal to have noises and they could not duplicate so wait until it gets worse. Diagnostic fees are required but they waived the first fee. Months passed and even after new tire install with balancing and alignment the issues got worse. They again said it was normal and the suspension had to settle after new tires but issues have persisted again for months and have worsened. So after multiple alignments and complaints of other issues (ie. Bluelink, paint, remote start, ABS system), I escalated again within service and sales and they now say there is a recall on sus

I am reporting a problem obtaining the remedy for an open safety recall on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade Limited (Hyundai Recall 283 / NHTSA 25V-607). I first contacted Johnson Hyundai of Wake Forest, NC, regarding this recall in October 2025. At that time, the dealership did not have the necessary remedy available. I contacted the dealership again in January 2026 and was placed on a waiting list for the recall repair. As of October 6, 2026, I am number 123 out of approximately 390 customers on the dealership’s waiting list. I have been told that Hyundai is sending only a very limited number of replacement parts to dealerships and that customers may wait seven months or longer before being notified that their parts are available. This recall involves seat-belt buckle assemblies that may fail to latch properly, creating a potential increased risk of injury in a crash. My concern is not that the dealership is refusing to perform the recall. My concern is that the manufacturer is not supplying sufficient replacement parts for the dealership to perform the safety recall within a reasonable timeframe. Hyundai’s recall information indicated a planned final remedy owner notification date of June 30, 2026. It is now October 2026, and I still do not have a repair appointment or a reliable timeframe for obtaining the required parts. I rely on this vehicle to transport two young children, including a child with special needs, so simply stopping use of the vehicle indefinitely is not a practi

Vehicle developed a check engine light and underwent warranty repair, during which all six fuel injectors were replaced (Repair Order #1HWS5031079, dated 7/8/2026, 33,768 miles). Despite this repair, the check engine light returned, and the vehicle subsequently developed an intermittent hard-start and no-start condition — in some instances the engine would not start on the first attempt and required a second attempt. The vehicle was returned to the dealership for a second repair visit (Repair Order #1HCS55031999, dated 7/28/2026, 34,090 miles), during which the dealership considered multiple possible causes, including a sensor issue and fuel-related concerns, before completing the repair. The vehicle was out of service for a cumulative total of approximately 22 days across both repair visits. An intermittent no-start condition raises reliability and safety concerns, particularly in situations requiring predictable vehicle operation.

The panoramic roof glass on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade shattered unexpectedly while the vehicle was stationary or just beginning to move. I did not observe any object striking the vehicle, nor was the vehicle involved in a collision. The glass continued to fall into the passenger compartment, creating a potential safety hazard for occupants. The vehicle can still be operated; however, dust, water, and other debris can enter the vehicle through the damaged roof. There were no warning signs, unusual noises, cracks, or other symptoms prior to the failure. The incident occurred on September 9, 2026, at approximately 37,900 miles.

The vehicle's OEM wiring harness caught fire during standard operation. We had just started our drive connected to a trailer and break controller that functioned flawlessly for a year with a different vehicle prior to this incident. The trailer is a 2025 and the brake controller was new at the time of purchasing the trailer in February 2025. the only thing that prevented further damage was my husband calling to say something was smoking and I needed to stop the car. I was driving to pickup my husband and children from the campground bath house to drive home. Yes, it is available for inspection. The safety of myself and any passengers was put at risk due to the electrical fire and all extenuating risks associated with that. The problem has not been reproduced by the manufacturer that I am aware of. The tech at the dealership verbally confirmed that the part in question was the cause of the fire and that the new (post repair) part did not have a secure 7way plug attachment to the break controller which was also brand new since the original was damaged during the incident. The components have been inspected by the dealership. There were no lights prior to the failure and there were no lights after the failure until the new temporary harness was installed in Slade KY prior to receiving and installing the new (same) OEM part once we returned home.

While driving the vehicle, the accelerator pedal was pressed but the vehicle failed to respond and did not accelerate, it simply rolled slowly as the engine continued to idle. The driver increased throttle input in an attempt to get the vehicle to accelerate. The vehicle continued to show no response to the additional throttle. After a delay, the vehicle suddenly resumed normal operation while the higher throttle input was still applied. This resulted in an abrupt and undesired surge of power. While this was occurring, another vehicle was rolling forward in preparation for a left turn. The other driver appeared confused by the Palisade’s lack of acceleration (apparently believing it was yielding) and had not yet turned into the path of the Palisade. The sudden surge of power created a near-miss situation. This incident involved a delayed response to throttle input followed by a sudden surge of power under increased throttle when the vehicle resumed normal operation. The behavior created a safety risk by causing another driver to misjudge the vehicle’s intentions and by producing unexpected lack of acceleration followed by acceleration at a critical moment. This is consistent with ongoing intermittent throttle and power-response issues that have previously been reported to the selling dealer on multiple occasions.

The seat belt appeared to be properly fastened before driving but released while the vehicle was in motion. There were no warning lights or messages before the failures. This creates a serious safety hazard because the driver is no longer properly restrained while the vehicle is moving, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash. After receiving the recall notice, I took the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership in February 2026. The dealership confirmed the recall but said replacement parts were unavailable and that I would be contacted when they arrived. As of August 2026, the repair still has not been completed. When I called for an update, I was told I am "far down on the list" and that it will still be a long time before parts are available. I contacted Hyundai Customer Care to explain that my vehicle has already experienced the recalled defect. Hyundai did not provide a repair timeline, expedite the repair, or offer any interim solution. Instead, they advised me to continue driving the vehicle and to pull on the seat belt after buckling it to ensure it was latched. The recalled seat belt buckle remains installed and is available for inspection. Hyundai has acknowledged t

After the "9C9" emissions recall update the vehicle randomly fails to respond to appropriately throttle input when attempting to accelerate into traffic. The issue is very intermittent - it may occur twice in 10 minutes or drive fine for hours. It has demonstrated both a "bucking" / stuttering / misfire feeling as well as a complete lack of any throttle response. After a few seconds of bucking, the vehicle returns to normal and accelerates smoothly with no change in throttle input. If the throttle failed to respond, pumping the pedal a few times has resumed normal operation. Situation has occurred multiple times since the update and has allowed the vehicle to roll into traffic without the ability to promptly accelerate to speed creating a safety hazard. There are no warning lights, and the dealership is unable to reproduce the issue.

This vehicle has two open safety recalls that the manufacturer has been unable to repair. Recall 25V607000 (manufacturer campaign 283, seat belt buckles, front row and second row outer) was issued in September 2025. The dealer has attempted the repair since March 2026 and cannot complete it because the buckle assembly is on back order. On a June 2026 repair order the dealer listed the part as "Unrealized" and performed no work. The same repair order also listed recall 26V034000 (manufacturer campaign 292, third row FMVSS 226 ejection mitigation), and that repair was not performed either. The repair order was left in pre-invoice status with no labor or parts, and the odometer moved one mile between check-in and check-out. As of August 2026 both recalls still show Recall Incomplete on the NHTSA VIN lookup. The seat belt recall has been unrepairable on this vehicle for approximately five months. The manufacturer's national consumer affairs office stated in writing on four separate dates in June and July 2026 that the dealership had confirmed the parts were available and that we only needed to schedule an appointment. We scheduled and attended an appointment on the date they instructed, and the part was not there. We then contacted three separate dealerships independently; none had the seat belt buckle part in stock, and each stated it remains on back order with no availability date. The manufacturer has declined to repurchase the vehicle or otherwise resolve the matter. The vehi

Driver seat moves/repositions on its own after starting vehicle. The seat will move forward, fold you forward into the steering wheel then move far back and reposition to saved setting. Also, while in reverse, the seat will move back all the way and pull you away from the brake/accelerator pedals. This is a safety issue especially while the vehicle is not in park or is in motion. This vehicle has been to a dealer for repair no less than 6 times for this issue. It is an intermittent issue and the dealer has only witnessed it once. Since the vehicle has not issued a "code" they will not attempt to fix the safety issue. Hyundai Corp. so far has been unresponsive.

ALTERNATOR FAILURE: My family and I were moving to [XXX] from [XXX]. A few hours into the drive, the vehicle battery light came on. It was intermittent though. It would be on for a little while 10-15 mins and then shut off and then repeat this process. I stopped at an Autozone and they tested the battery and it was showing a charge of 7%. I could not afford to get stranded somewhere so I went ahead and had the battery replaced, even though I suspected the alternator was going bad. We continued on the trip, but the battery light continued to turn on and off. The vehicle ultimately began losing power about 2 hours after replacing the battery, causing all the warning lights on the dash to turn on, the main center console display lost power and then I lost power steering. All of this happened while I was on the interstate, putting myself and my family in serious danger. I was able to pull the car off an off ramp and park it safely. I called a tow service to take it to the nearest Hyundai. The dealership verified the alternator was bad, but later found that the tensioner assembly had also failed and would have caused serious damage if they had not caught it. The vehicle has since been repaired under warranty, but I researched and found this is a common failed item. The vehicle only has 33,253 miles on it, and is barely 2 years old. Alternators should not fail like that. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While crossing a railroad track, the vehicle in front of me slowed down. I applied the brakes but there was no response. I pushed even harder with excessive force and the brakes did not respond at all. I though for sure I was going to hit the vehicle in front of me when the brakes finally responded. I was traveling at about 20 miles an hour when this incident began. I know there is a recall related to the ABS brakes where a software update is intended. That recall does not indicate a safety hazard. This recall seems related since it appeared to me to be an ABS braking problem. I can tell you that it is certainly a high safety risk. My local dealer can not get me in to address the recalls for another 6 weeks and I'm concerned this may happen again. This needs to be considered a significant safety risk before serious injuries occur. I currently have 20,000 miles on this vehicle. The driving conditions at the time of the incident were dry roads surface, sunny and about 72 degrees F. About 4pm on 6-24-26.

While driving the 2024 Hyundai Palisade, the steering wheel suddenly locks up, resulting in an immediate loss of steering control creating an immediate safety hazard. The steering wheel becomes completely rigid, making it impossible to turn left or right. This condition feels as though the power steering system has completely stopped working. Simultaneously, multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard. To avoid an accident, the driver must physically muscle the rigid steering wheel to force the vehicle onto the right-side shoulder of the road. Once safely stopped, turning the engine completely off and restarting it seems to temporarily resolve the problem. After the re-start, the warning lights disappear, and the steering wheel operates normally again. This problem (loss of steering wheel control) has occurred 5 times randomly and intermittently (each time while driving). The first 2 times this problem occurred was in September 2024 and it was taken to a Hyundai dealership and the problem was reported (repair #1 dated 9/30/2024, mileage 13603). Next, the vehicle was in the dealership for repair of the Forward Collison Light / Low Battery (repair #2 dated 11/22/2024, mileage 14899). Next, the vehicle was in the dealership for replacement of the Front Radar Sensor (repair #3 dated 12/05/2024, mileage 15353). Next the vehicle's steering wheel locked up on 9/18/2025, mileage 24370 (3rd time). Next the vehicle's steering wheel locked up on 5/24/2026, mileage 31714 (4th time).

I am writing to report a serious safety defect regarding my 2024 Hyundai Palisade. While driving at approximately 6 mph, the vehicle went over a bump in the road. Immediately after hitting this bump, the vehicle began violently shaking and steering out of control. This shaking did not stop or diminish on its own. I immediately attempted to apply the brakes, but the brake pedal became extremely hard to press, requiring significant physical effort to slow down. The violent shaking only ceased once I managed to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.This condition represents a severe, immediate safety hazard. I frequently have my children in the car and use this vehicle for work travel, which requires utilizing highways with speeds greater than 60 mph multiple days of the week. This failure caused a sudden loss of vehicle control and a compromised braking system. I am terrified of the catastrophic consequences if this violent shaking and brake failure happen again at highway speeds with my children inside.Component / System Failure:UNKNOWN. The exact mechanical or electronic system that malfunctioned is currently unknown.

I am filing a vehicle safety complaint regarding a 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy due to repeated safety-related mechanical failures and ongoing defects that create dangerous and unpredictable driving conditions. Since purchase in August 2024, the vehicle has experienced multiple serious issues, including steering rack problems causing sticking, resistance, abnormal noises, and inconsistent steering response while driving. The vehicle has also experienced rear automatic braking/sensor malfunctions causing sudden stopping and grinding during operation, creating unsafe driving conditions and concerns about unintended braking behavior. Additional issues include transmission and gear engagement concerns, engine replacement under recall, infotainment system replacement, ongoing recall-related concerns, and excessive tire wear requiring replacement of all four tires at approximately 29,000 miles. The premature tire wear raises concerns regarding possible steering, suspension, alignment, or drivetrain defects. There are also concerns involving unusually fragile windshield and window glass, which appears to be a commonly reported issue among Hyundai Palisade owners. Despite repeated dealership visits, diagnostic evaluations, repairs, and major component replacements, the problems continue. The vehicle has spent an estimated total of approximately five months in repair facilities or undergoing service evaluations since purchase. The steering issues and rear automatic braking/sensor

On 2 separate occasions, under similar circumstances, the collision warning systems, both front and rear, applied the brakes for no reason. When reversing slowly (foot slowly off brake pedal) from a parking space on an almost empty rooftop parking lot; I confirmed there was no foot traffic or moving vehicles before I started to back up. The brakes automatically applied (no screen display); I reapplied the brake and was then able to reverse normally. On a normal service visit to my dealership, I mentioned the incident and it was noted on my invoice. About 3 weeks later, at a full stop at a stop sign, I was about to turn left onto another road. After confirming there was no cross traffic of any kind, and before I had completely released the brake, the collision assist engaged and suddenly applied the brakes (again with no screen display but an audible thump). Again, I was able to reapply the brake and then accelerate to make the turn. Since the same event had happened twice, I went directly to my local Hyundai Service Center and reported it. They kept the vehicle for a week and tested it thoroughly. Nothing showed as being faulty. When I picked up my vehicle on 5/22/26, they informed me that there's a known issue (NHTSA Campaign # 26V316) with other Hyundai models (not the Palisade) and that an update for the forward collision avoidance system in those models will be coming mid-summer.

While driving on a high-speed interstate with two children in the vehicle, and without any prior warning signs or issues, the dashboard began displaying sequential warnings from multiple Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) sensors. As the vehicle continued cycling through numerous dashboard warnings, the power steering failed, making the vehicle difficult to control. Additional electronic systems also began malfunctioning, including the display screen, cameras, and safety sensors, while the driver attempted to safely maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. After reaching the shoulder, the driver powered the vehicle off in an attempt to reset the electrical systems. However, once powered down, the engine would no longer start. When the tow truck arrived, the technician was required to jump-start the battery in order to shift the vehicle into neutral for towing. The technician also showed the driver a low-voltage reading on the jump-start device, indicating a possible alternator or charging-system failure. Hyundai dealership representatives later stated that diagnostic testing of the alternator and electrical system showed no faults and informed the customers that the battery was simply dead. After the dealership replaced the battery, the customers drove the vehicle approximately 15 miles to their residence.

2024 Hyundai Palisade: questions buyers ask

Is the 2024 Hyundai Palisade a good car?

It is not among the Palisade years to avoid. Owners filed 398 complaints, against about 409 for a typical Palisade year. The most common complaint is about the brakes (56%). In NHTSA crash tests it scored 5 stars overall.

What is the most common problem with the 2024 Hyundai Palisade?

The brakes: 223 of the 398 complaints (56%) are about it. Owners most often say it vibrates or shakes (40%), sets off warning lights on the dash (13%) and jerks, lurches or bucks (11%). The typical report comes at 8,000 miles.

How many recalls does the 2024 Hyundai Palisade have?

5 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Jan 22, 2026. 1 of them carries a do-not-drive or park-outside warning. The largest, 25V607000, covered 568,580 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

At what mileage do 2024 Hyundai Palisade problems start?

Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 13,728 miles. For the brakes the midpoint is 8,000 miles.

Are there service bulletins for the 2024 Hyundai Palisade?

The manufacturer filed 58 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the engine (11), the electrical system (10) and the seat belts (9). They include a warranty extension, Z15 OL, filed Aug 3, 2026. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.

Most recent recall on file: Jan 22, 2026. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
