2024 Hyundai Palisade complaints

When applying the brakes on uneven surfaces, the vehicle lunges forward, shutters and shakes and is uncontrollable, the brakes fail to work And increases stopping distance. this is extremely dangerous and needs to be fixed. This has happened multiple times.

The driver seat will move without any input from the driver, it will move forward and also tilt as far forward as possible smashing the driver in the seat. It will do this when parked after starting the vehicle and it has also done it while DRIVING which impedded my ability to control the vehicle. This situation is incredibly dangerous but when I've taken it to the dealer they refuse to troubleshoot the issue because they didn't see it happen. This happens probably 5-10 times per week.

Date: [XXX] Time: 12:00 PM Location: [XXX] (heading toward [XXX] ). - Turned left into the second entrance to the parking lot between [XXX] and [XXX]. My Vehicle: 2024 Hyundai Palisade Night Edition Incident Summary While entering the parking lot, the vehicle in front of me braked. When I attempted to brake (approx. 10 mph), my vehicle: - Began pulsing/jerking, consistent with ABS engaging. No matter how hard I pressed the brake my car would not stop it's kept pulsing - alerts and Beeping with a forward collision warning went off - car Lurched/jumped forward rather than stopping smoothly. This resulted in a minor rear-end contact with the vehicle ahead. Concerns for safety of myself and others because the car did not stop when hitting the brakes nor the collision warning initiate braking. CONCERNS - Concern that ABS or forward-collision system malfunctioned. - Service appointment scheduled for 9/9/2025 at 9:45 AM with Hyundai dealership. - Will keep a copy of the service summary for documentation.

I've been dealing with an ongoing issue with my ABS kicking in when slowing down and driving over a bumpy surface since I purchased my car. I first reported this issue to Hyundai dealership and Hyundai Corporate Customer Care in July 2024.(As well as the NHTSA) At that time I had experienced this issue around 5 times. Since then, up to the present, I experience this issue on a regular basis and have brought my car into the local Hyundai dealership 4 times over the past year to fix. Each time I got the car back...it still was not fixed. I even had a technician from the dealership ride with me so I could show them...and he verified there is a safety issue. The dealership communicated with the Hyundai tech line and they were instructed to replace the ESC module in the ABS system. I picked up my car today, and the issue is still there. I went back to the dealer and even showed them a video of it happening today and the dealership said there is nothing they can do. Hyundai claims there is nothing wrong even though I have several videos and even had a local mechanic from the Hyundai dealership ride with me to experience this safety issue. I have called Hyundai Corporate again to escalate this safety concern. There is clearly a big problem and Hyundai needs to fix it before there is a serious accident or injury. Maybe pressure from your administration could help. I am willing to speak with anyone needing more information or copies of some of the videos I have taken.

When going over roads with small bumps that are spread a few feet apart, pressing the brakes unexpectedly engages the ABS. This causes the braking distance to increase drastically and also requires the brake pedal to be pressed with excessive pressure to even stop. This happens consistently and has nearly caused us to rear end the vehicle in front of us.

The ABS system in my 2024 Hyundai Palisade Limited engaged abnormally while making a slow turn. I was going about <10mph when my Palisade started to shake violently and I could not brake nor control the vehicle. I had two other passengers and if I was unable to gain control I would have jumped a curb and possibly rolled over since I was in a turn. I have not reported this nor spoken to a dealership. I am not sure how this will help since this has been reported multiple times by other Palisade owners and dealerships and Hyundai refuse to do anything about it. There were no warning lights or messages displayed. The vehicle also has the latest software update applied.

The palisade seems to have issues when breaking over potholes or bumpy streets. I think you could say they lock up and do not stop as they should. In addition the car actually shutters. This happens more than once in a daily basis because of the area I live in. I’ve brought it back to the dealer twice and because they drive on smooth roads, they do not duplicate this issue, which means they’re likely avoiding the issue because I can tell them where it happens all around my town. It’s extremely unsafe.

When going over small bumps on road and applying breaks, ABS system kicked in and would not stop car. I had to swerve away from car in front of me from stop hitting it. While doing some investigation on this 2024 Hyundai Palisades it seems that is a common problem.

[XXX]. While approaching a red light traffic signal ABS kicked in with a slight acceleration and reduced braking. There was a car ahead of me stopped at the red light. Applying normal pressure to the brakes was not slowing my vehicle requiring me to use both feet to force enough pressure to the brakes to stop within feet of hitting the vehicle in front of me. This was on a main public road and the road was rough. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have taken my car into Hyundai three times time. When I am driving, coming up to a stop at a light, sign or because of a hazard, there are times my brakes lock up completely and I cannot stop my car. Each time I've taken my car, I've been told "we cannot replicate the problem we are unable to fix it" It happens at least 5-10 times a week. I've almost crashed at least 7 times and I have to move over to try and move out of the way, slam down my brakes in hopes that something clicks and I can stop. I know that I will crash one day but my equity is negative on my car and there isn't anything I can do. I have young children in my car and I could be a risk to anyone else on the road and I'm extremely disappointed in how Hyundai is handling this.

At low rate of speeds coming to a stop the ABS braking system will activate on uneven surfaces, loose gravel or rough terrain. When this happens you have no control when the car will stop. We've almost went into the back of another vehicle or went out into an intersection. This has happened multiple times and we've been made aware there is a class action lawsuit about this issue

GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, APPROACHING STOP SIGN AND ANPTHER CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THERE IS A DIP OR SOMETHING AND I WAS BRAKING TO STOP BEHIND THE PERSON WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED SHUTTERING AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. IT JERKED FORWARD AND THEN RIGHT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TOP HIT THE CAR IT STOP SUDDENLY.

Issue has happened 2 times, when slowing down to a complete stop. the car began to shake violently at (approximately 5-10mph) and the car would keep creeping forward , until I kept pressing on the brakes really hard and finally it would stop creeping forward and stop . It almost caused me to hit the vehicle in front of me both times

Breaking failure on low speeds for up to a few seconds many times

I bought my 2024 Hyundai Palisade new in May of 2024 because of the safety features and impeccable safety ratings. Since purchasing this vehicle, I’ve had multiple instances of the brakes not engaging when I’m driving on uneven terrain, the most recent event was today while my young daughter was in the car. I live in a fairly rural area and frequently drive over railroad tracks as part of my daily commute. I’ve been driving for 20 years and NEVER had a car that had a braking issue. I’ve almost rear ended multiple people because of this. When crossing the railroad tracks, if all four wheels are not on flat ground the brakes will not engage. The car lurches forward and it will take double or triple the distance to stop the vehicle. It doesn’t do it every time, and has done it going as slow as 12 mph. There is currently a class action lawsuit filed in NY and OH that states Hyundai was aware of this issue during production and failed to tell anyone. I paid over 60k for this vehicle and Hyundai of Gainesville Ga is refusing to help me stating they don’t know of anyone having this issue and cannot replicate it. I’m going to end up rear ending someone because no one will hold Hyundai accountable. Please please help me. I have a little one to keep safe!

I have a 2024 Palisade, and any small bump, pothole, or lane bump causes my steering wheel to shake uncontrollably. If I go over a speed bump or come down an incline, the brakes make a rumbling sound, and if I try to brake, the brakes stutter and just shake. I’ve almost hit a car in front of me a few times because it didn’t want to stop. This is a very expensive SUV to be having these issues, and it’s a major safety concern.

While approaching a stop sign we hit a small crack in the roadway while applying the brakes. The brake pedal started pulsing and the vehicle would not stop. Luckily there were no cars approaching because we rolled thru the stop sign. This is the second time in a month this has happened. Apparently the manufacturer is aware of the issue but have not seen any type of recall.

When going on uneven terrain then trying to brake the ABS kicks in and makes the brakes unusable. I’ve almost hit the car ahead of me several times now. I have taken the car to the dealership and they cannot duplicate the problem.

Sometimes when trying to break on uneven surfaces the break seems to fail, shaking the car as if trying to break multiple times, which results in the car continue moving sometimes 10 feet over the stop sign, for example. The uneven does not need to be gravel, just minor bumps on the road sometimes trigger this issue, which makes me scared that I'll end up in an accident, as I already had a near miss one. This has happened now multiple times and is making me scared to drive. I took the car to Huyndai on 08/15 and they were able to reproduce the same issue, saying that it seems to be a misreading from the ABS system, but added that the car and its systems are functioning as per the designed specifications and there was nothing they could do. Their solution was to advise me to use more caution when breaking, avoiding sudden breaks and to allow for increased breaking distances, but this absolutely does not resolve the issue and places the responsibility to resolve the issue on the customer, which is absurd. I should add that the many times this issue happened to me, I was driving at very slow speeds (max was like 20 mph) and was slowly stopping at the stops signs of my gym center and the parking lot of my work, which leads to a busy highway. I am afraid one day I won't be able to stop the car and end up going into the highway and cause an accident hurting both myself and other people. This is incredibly irresponsible of Hyundai, it's playing with people's safety. I would have not

It’s skid three times when I was trying to stop it just kept going almost got into three accidents

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at a slower speed than 60 MPH or attempting to make a left or right turn, there was an abnormal tapping sound coming from the driver’s side rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and it was diagnosed that the driver’s side rear suspension bracket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, while driving, the tapping sound returned, and the vehicle was driven back to the dealer. The dealer replaced another suspension bracket on the same driver’s side rear; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Shook violently while pushing brakes and finally caught and stopped after pushing them hard.

When going over an uneven surface (railroad track/cobblestone/pothole) at a low speed, specifically while braking, the car starts violently shaking and prevents me from stopping the car. It has caused my car to go an extra 15-20 ft and even had to narrowly miss being T-boned twice (thank goodness the people coming saw me!) From what I’ve seen it is the ABS that is sensitive, but I’m not certain. I just know that it is dangerous and concerns me with children in the car. Dealer could not reproduce and told me it was “normal” over uneven surfaces- even asked why I was braking over the tracks (there is usually a stoplight or stop sign right after!). Hope this gets figured out quickly before someone gets seriously injured or killed, as I see many others have experienced the same. Truly a scary experience every time it happens.

On a number of occasions, the vehicle does not stop when hitting the brakes. The car shudders and shakes violently, while continuing to lunge forward before finally stopping. This has happened to me approaching crosswalks, intersections, and stop signs. This is a problem for many reasons as it is a safety hazard for me and my family, as well as other drivers and pedestrians. I brought my car to the dealership on July 11th, and they told me they had heard of this problem before. They would not return my vehicle because it was a safety issue that Hyundai Corporate is still investigating. On 8/6, my vehicle was returned to me. The dealership said they were not able to replicate the problem (after driving it for 3 miles). They did not fix my car or change anything, but corporate told them to release all vehicles with this issue. This is a safety concern that Hyundai is not addressing.

*ABS, yes available for inspection, you can completely examine my car *ABS kicked in without need, hard braking would not work, car pulsed into intersection *No *No *No Thousands are experiencing this involuntary ABS implementation and Hyundai is aware. Today my 2024 and a new 2025 were in the Dealership with the very same problem. My first instance occurred in July 2024

When traveling on a bumpy road the brakes failed to engage almost causing an accident. This happen twice within the last 10’days.

The windshield (visibility system) on my 2025 Hyundai Tucson (VIN: [XXX] ) was cracked on [XXX]. I immediately contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle (in New York), and later local Hyundai dealers in Florida where I now reside. I was informed that the windshield is on a nationwide OEM backorder with no estimated time of arrival (ETA). As of August 6, 2025, the part remains unavailable, and the vehicle has been inoperable for 57 days, parked in my garage. The crack makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, and due to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane keeping assistance and forward collision warning, the windshield requires proper OEM calibration post-installation, which cannot be performed until the correct part is secured. The issue was confirmed by multiple Hyundai dealers and 3rd-party glass installers, all of whom indicated they are unable to acquire the correct windshield due to Hyundai’s ongoing parts shortage. No resolution has been provided by Hyundai corporate. Although one vendor was referenced by the dealer, they too did not have the part available locally. Hyundai has offered limited rental reimbursement, but not enough to cover costs during this extended downtime. No inspection has been conducted by the manufacturer or insurance company beyond initial confirmation of the damage. No warning lights or messages preceded the incident — the issue is entirely due to the unavailability of a critical OEM part, making the vehicle unsafe and un

I have noticed repeatedly when the 3 following conditions are met the anti lock brakes do not function correctly. The vehicle is moving slower. Below 30mph but usually this is below 15 mph. The vehicle goes over a bump or series of bumps I am braking. Usually bringing the vehicle to a stop. The ABS will "overreact" and kick in causing the vehicle to not stop in a timely manner. The ABS will continuously operate until the vehicle stops. Removing your foot from the brakes and reapplying them will fix the problem. Which is counterintuitive as to how ABS works and the problem it alleviates. I would expect a normal vehicle to not even apply the ABS in such a situation as other than some normal bumps or cracks in the road all other conditions are normal. I am not slamming the brakes. I am not employing any emergency steering input. This is just me coming to a slow stop. Note this is an ongoing issue and was not a one time event.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled and violently jerked. The contact continued to depress the brake pedal until the vehicle stopped. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The manufacturer scheduled a service appointment with the dealer. The failure mileage was 13,728.

Over the course of 6 mos. I've experienced several instances while braking on uneven surfaces, wherein the ABS system of my 2024 Hyundai Palisade reacted surprisingly very unpredictably. On 2 occasions this caused a near-miss; one of which involved braking while turning a corner on a rough surface and the car skidded/skipped (wheel-hopped) unpredictably. In another near-miss, I quickly released/reapplied the brakes which seemed to deactivate this erratic ABS behavior. My vehicle was recently shopped at my local is Hyundai dealership for routine maintenance/defects. This ABS malfunction was also to be addressed. The dealership reported to me that they were unable to duplicate, the car was operating as intended, no trouble found...Of course, I was highly. unsatisfied with this response, particularly after having taken a test drive with the service department supervisor, demonstrating the issue while driving and reviewing relevant online forum discussions that documented the exact issue I've been experiencing. PLEASE HELP BY DEMANDING HYUNDAI IS IMMEDIATELY ADDRESS THIS LIFE THREATENING ABS SAFETY DEFECT BY MEANS OF AN URGENT RECALL! Thank you.

When driving down bumpy roads and you try to stop, abs kicks in but doesn’t stop the car right of way. You have to hit the pedal down all the way to stop if there is another car in front of you. HS happened multiple times in the same area in dry conditions.

The sunroof glass appears to have exploded or burst open. The vehicle was parked at the time of the incident. The owner had driven the vehicle just two hours prior and returned to it to find that the sunroof had burst upwards sending glass on top of the remain parts of the sunroof and all over the interior cabin. There was no projectile involved and the remaining glass around the hole was protruding upwards indicating it had been pushed upwards by the pressure. This could have happened while occupants were in the vehicle. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer who could not find anything wrong with the frame or housing to indicate a defect.

All the dash light are on, warning signs flash, steering get heavy, Speedo not working, Signal indicator not working on dash. Not safe. Dealer drove the car and checked everything, could not get the car to do it again. I picked the car up and within 13 miles the dash was lit up like a Christmas tree, lots of error messages, steering very heavy07/21/24. 14,500 miles on car

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Multiple safety-critical systems have failed repeatedly, including: •Engine (multiple shutdowns while vehicle was in motion) •Automated Emergency Braking (AEB) (activating without cause while reversing) •Brake Pedal (intermittently unresponsive with audible rattling) •HVAC (leaking fluid into the passenger-side floorboard) Yes, the vehicle is currently with the dealership (Stamford Hyundai, CT) and is available for inspection. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? • The engine has shut off without warning while the vehicle was in motion, including in traffic, creating the potential for rear-end collisions. • The emergency brake has slammed on while reversing, without any obstacles present, risking whiplash and collisions with pedestrians or nearby objects. • The brake pedal becomes unresponsive, with a loose/rattling sensation, making it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle safely. • The HVAC leak creates slippery floor conditions, posing a secondary risk for occupants during ingress/egress. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The dealership (Stamford Hyundai) acknowledged some issues but stated they were unable to replicate all of them. However, the brake pedal defect is consistently reproducible and occurs daily. Multiple videos and logs have been submitted to Hyundai’s consumer affairs team. 4. H

Unknown, but feeling a lot of issues in this area and very sensitive.

On multiple occasions, my 2024 Hyundai Palisade (VIN [XXX] ) has experienced a serious safety issue involving the anti-lock braking system (ABS). While traveling at low speeds (approximately 5–15 mph) over bumps or uneven surfaces, the ABS has unexpectedly activated, preventing the vehicle from slowing or stopping when the brakes are pressed. In each case, the vehicle continued to move for an additional 10–16 feet before the brakes finally engaged. This issue has occurred repeatedly, including on: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Each incident created an extremely dangerous situation. I narrowly avoided a collision by swerving to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. Fortunately, no pedestrians or oncoming vehicles were in the immediate area—otherwise, the outcome could have been catastrophic. I reported the issue to Koeppel Hyundai in Long Island City, NY, on July 14, 2025, and brought the vehicle in for inspection that day. A technician acknowledged that other Palisade owners had reported similar incidents. Their only recommendation was to disable the "Auto Hold" feature, suggesting it might be contributing to the problem. I followed this guidance, but the issue reoccurred on [XXX] despite Auto Hold being turned off. This is a critical safety concern that requires immediate attention and a definitive repair—not just a workaround. Until Hyundai identifies and resolves the underlying issue, this defect puts drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at significant risk. Please advise on the n

While approaching a stop sign there was a crack in the road and as wife was applying brakes she hit the crack and vehicle started shaking and brakes would not stop vehicle. This has happened three times.

Car skidding when I hit the break on uneven surfaces, specifically going down an incline. My car almost skid into oncoming traffic.

ABS system engages when it shouldn’t, causing stopping problems. Caused my wife to run out in middle of intersection and not get stopped in time. This seems to be a common problem with this vehicle and nobody knows how to fix it

Yesterday [XXX] the car basically failed to stop when I braked and was nearly hit by the approaching vehicle. I immediately called the service dept of the dealer and taking it in for diagnostics. No warning lights ever popped on. So what happened is I was getting on to the road from the parking lot and started braking to wait for the approaching cars to pass but instead of stopping all I got was vibrations and shaking all while not stopping. The car got almost half body length out on the road making the approaching cars swerve and honk at me. The only way I managed to stop it was stomping on the brakes as hard as I could, which worked. But it freaked me out and sent my kid in tears cuz the stopping was so violent. I am aware of the ABS issue with these models and experienced it 5-6 times before but never it was a near collision situation and especially with the kid on board. I called the dealer right away and am taking the car in for diagnostics. I told them about the issue and history of similar events but all I heard back was “oh, sorry it happened, come in for a diag. We have never heard of it.” We all know by now about the faulty ABS system in Palisade and the class action was just filed against Hyundai last month. So I wonder what will it take for them to admit the problem and issue a remedy. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving at highway speeds, the sunroof spontaneously shattered. No rocks/debris were found to have caused the sunroof to shatter and we were not manipulating the sunroof in any manner. Luckily, the manually operated internal sunroof cover was in place, or more shattered glass could have entered the two front seats which were occupied. We could have ingested shards of glass, been cut by flying glass, or shards could have entered our eyes, causing a major incident/accident. We could have panicked and swerved aggressively, as the incident was loud and shocking, causing an accident to either us or the surrounding highway traffic. The closest manufacturers shop to the incident did not have the replacement part on hand, so we had to wait until we returned home for replacement parts. The problem was reported to the dealer and the manufacturer inspected the shattered sunroof. Since this is a relatively new vehicle (2024) with appx. 22,000 miles, the manufacturer is covering the repair as a warranty item, no need for an insurance claim. No police report was filed/needed. No warning lamps, annunciations, or aural alerts were heard/visible prior to the sunroof failure.

Approaching main hwy very slowly to stop. Prior to stopping the car started shaking & Making the horrible load noise. it was a terrifying exerpience. took it to Wallace Hyundai today where we purchased it new. Told them what happened, they stated it was Probably the ABS brakes. No solution, could not repeat what had happened, I told service Person it felt like 4 flat tires running over bricks. I was scared . HYUNDAI said let them know if it happens again …..

ABS activates when going over small bumps while breaking to a complete stop.

When braking over uneven surfaces or while the vehicle dynamics reduce the weight on the wheels, the ABS system activates and greatly increases the stopping distance.

When coming to low speed stops at stop signs over uneven/SLIGHTLY bumpy roads, brakes rumble uncontrollably and resist stopping, thrusting my car past stop signs into oncoming traffic. This has happened SEVERAL times, thankfully without accident, and is extremely scary. It MUST be addressed!

The Palisade has been intermittently acting up approaching a stop and the pedal pulsates and pedal travel is much longer, stopping distance is lengthened but when all of this is going on, not one light or warning is shown. No ABS light, TRAC light or Skid light is illuminated.

Over the last week my Palisade has kicked on the ABS brake feature which has resulted in the vehicle to not stop timely. This was on a flat, paved road and was no reason for this feature to kick on. It has nearly resulted in an accident. We have brought to dealer and reported the issue but seems to be a more wide spread issue than we thought after doing some research online.

Vehicle Safety Concern - Unintended Vehicle Movement Vehicle Information: 2024 Hyundai Palisade Incident Date: XXXXXXX Location: Commissary parking lot in [XXX] Incident Description: On XXXXXXX my wife parked our Hyundai Palisade in a designated parking space at the commissary. She properly engaged the parking gear selection and turned off the engine. After opening the rear hatch to retrieve shopping bags and securely closing it, she proceeded into the commissary to shop. Upon returning approximately 15 minutes later, she discovered the vehicle was no longer in its original parking position. The Palisade had rolled away from where it was parked and collided with a parked 2018 Toyota Sienna, resulting in property damage to both vehicles. Actions Taken: Due to concerns about a potential mechanical defect that may have caused this unintended vehicle movement, we immediately contacted Hyundai customer service. We have since scheduled and completed diagnostic inspections at two separate Hyundai dealerships. Both dealerships performed comprehensive diagnostics but reported finding no mechanical issues. Safety Concerns: This incident represents a significant safety hazard. The unintended movement of our vehicle in a parking lot could have resulted in serious injury to pedestrians or other motorists. We are deeply concerned about the potential for this incident to recur and cause harm to others. Request for Investigation: We respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter to

My brakes are intermittently disengaging during bumps and potholes. I experience a rattling undercarriage and pedal vibration. Sometimes I must crank the steering wheel to regain braking. This poses an immediate safety risk to myself and others. The service advisor mentioned other customers coming in for the same issue. I have had my car in three times for this issue but they’ve never been able to replicate the issue. It has been an ongoing issue since the inception of the lease but has gotten progressively worse. This is a life-threatening issue.

I am reporting a recurring and hazardous issue with my 2024 Hyundai Palisade. When driving over uneven or bumpy surfaces—such as city streets with potholes, manhole covers, or brick pavement—the braking system fails to respond appropriately. Despite applying the brakes at low speeds (approximately 25 mph or less), the vehicle does not decelerate as expected. This results in extended stopping distances of approximately 15–20 feet, posing a significant risk of collisions or harm to pedestrians. This issue has occurred multiple times under various conditions, including dry roads and moderate temperatures. There are no warning lights or error messages displayed on the dashboard during these incidents.
