2024 Hyundai Palisade complaints

I will drive at low speeds (on residential or approaching stop light) and start pressing my brakes and then the car starts violently shaking and DOES NOT STOP… it keeps rolling forward. I lose brake power. The longest distance I’ve went without brakes working was 20 feet. I have little children and bought this car for safety features. I feel extremely unsafe. The problem is intermittent and Hyundai doesn’t know how to fix the issue because they stated there is no “check engine lights or codes” popping up. Very dangerous. This is going to get people killed. They need to recall Hyundai palisades for brake issues.

When braking on uneven surface like gravel, bumps, ect. The vehicle may shutter and continue lurching forward. Takes around double the stopping distance expected and has been close to accidents multiple times. This has happened many times since purchasing the vehicle brand new in 7/2024. No warning lights or messages pop up when this is happening. We took the vehicle in for inspection around 2/2025 but they could not replicate the issue so didn't even look at the parts for any concern. No other person has examined the vehicle besides the dealer on that visit. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Is definitely a danger to drive in good road conditions but very concerning to drive in rain or snow with not knowing if the brakes will perform or not.

I was ata yield sign and the car in front of me started to go and had to slam on their brakes because a car ran a stop sign. I had started rolling forward and hit my brakes when I noticed she had hit her brakes. My vehicle started to vibrate and keep going. It did nit stop right away it way like it was just skiding. My vehicle has done this before but this time it did not stop quick enough to avoid hitting the vehicle in front t of me I have notified Hyundai of the issue and after doing research I have found Hyundai is awRe of an issue with the 2023, 2024 and 2025 models. There is also a class action law suit for thus same reason. I am waiting to hear back from Hyundai.

I have had while driving slowly (parking lot speeds) over uneven surfaces like cobblestones the car has trouble breaking, it lurches forward, brakes make terrible noise, and car vibrates. This has occurred at least 3 times. It is unsafe if I would be unable to stop as needed in time.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed over an uneven surface and attempting to slow down, the steering wheel started vibrating, and the vehicle skidded before coming to a complete stop. The contact stated that the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the ABS was functioning as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 9,000. The VIN was invalid.

Hi, my name is [XXX] and I leased a 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy last summer. I have been having issues with my car skidding on rough or uneven pavement and I brought the car in for service to check the issue. I was told by the dealership that my issue is "normal" and it's how the ABS system works. This is obviously ridiculous because no car is supposed to skid on regular roads with no snow or ice. The car skids and the wheel shakes and my brakes do not work for a few seconds. I have to basically slam on the brakes and pray the car stops. I told the dealership it is definitely not normal. They said they would check the car and call me. I got a call a couple hours later telling me the ABS system is working fine. When I googled the issue, I saw many, many complaints about this issue and a class action lawsuit that has been filed. I picked up my car and asked the representative to speak to a manager. He said they all leave at 4:00. It was 4:30. I asked him how Hyundai is ok with sending people like me back out on the road knowing the ABS system is faulty and causes loss of brakes? He replied "Until Hyundai issues a recall, there is nothing we can do." I have owned Hyundai cars in the past and have always admired them as a company. They offer great safety and great warranties. But now I ask why they are ignoring this obvious safety issue? What will happen when a person driving a Palisade loses brakes and God forbid hits a car or a person? Please make this right and fix these

Vehicle Safety Concerns and Lack of Dealer Support As we approach a stop going about 20 mph and begin to apply the brakes as we pass over some slightly bumpy ground. The car lurches forward repeatedly as the brakes were applied, bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and taking twice as long to stop than it should have; this has pushed us into intersections. We've brought the vehicle in several times to no avail as the dealership says nothing is wrong. We contacted Hyundai Corporation to discuss this issue and determine any other feasible solution but unfortunately they were not able to assist in a timely manner. The braking problem has persisted. The vehicle exhibits issues when driving over uneven roads or on gravel—the brakes engage improperly, causing the vehicle to skid before ultimately stopping. This results in a dangerous situation where the car stops much farther than intended, posing a significant risk of collision, particularly at intersections. We have a [XXX] and we bought this brand new vehicle for the sole purpose of it being reliable and safe and it has been nothing but trouble. Please help us with this, we are at a loss of what to do. This is going to kill someone someday. You can also find others with similar situations online and it appears there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed that demonstrates the same issue we are having.

The ABS system malfunctions when braking at slow sleeps either on bumpy roads or even sometimes while turning

I started hearing a rear thunking noise at approximately 10,000 miles. It was sporadic, not constant. With more miles, more distinct noise from rear of vehicle. At service appt and 24,000 miles a leaking rear shock was replaced. Two days later the same noise returned. The car goes back in to dealer tomorrow. Everything I’ve read points to this vehicle model having serious suspension issues - particularly with strut and shock assemblies.

The ABS system kicks in on uneven surfaces even at the slowest speeds. It is almost impossible to stop and have almost hit people several times. This is coming to a stop even if it’s at 5 MPH and the road doesn’t even seem uneven. It is very scary and I’ve almost had an accident multiple times due to not being able to fully engage the brakes.

There’s an issue with the anti-lock braking system when you drive over a bumpy surface like large gravel that causes the anti-lock system to kick in and apply pulsed braking resulting in the car having dangerously long stopping distances. I’ve had this occur twice. The first time was going downhill on a driveway with large gravel. I tried to apply the brakes to sow down, the anti-lock braking kicked in and just kept repeatedly cycling. If I would have needed to come to a stop, it wouldn’t have happened. The second time it occurred could have resulted in an accident. I was leaving a paved parking lot, preparing to pull out onto a busy highway. When I was preparing to stop at a traffic signal at the end of the parking lot, the lot was bumpy and the ABS kicked in. It kept pulsing and the car didn’t stop until I was past the terrific signal and I was partially into the road before it came to a stop. The ABS system needs recalled.

When braking on an off ramp, the vehicle began to shudder. The steering wheel and brake pedal were shuddering as well. The vehicle came to slower stop than usual almost causing us to rear end the vehicle in front of us. This has happened prior on uneven roads when slowing/coming to a stop. The dealership does not have an answer and couldn’t reproduce it

I was in stop and go traffic on a side road. I was traveling about 5-15 mph on an uneven road surface. The traffic stopped in front of me and I applied my brakes. I heard the grinding sound of the anti-lock brakes but my car did not stop. My foot was to the ground on the brake and it didn’t even slow down. I ended up hitting the car in front of me. This has happened before but I never hit anything before. It happens all of the time on uneven road surfaces such as man hole covered, rail road crossings, or construction or potholes.

Braking on rough road before cross street engaged what felt like anti-lock. Brake pedal vibrated under foot, went all the way to the floor and car failed to stop as expected. Has to release brake completely and reengage to stop. Was quick enough to do do before moving into oncoming traffic.

When I try to stop on a brick road the abs comes on and the breaks press up on my foot and the car does not stop immediately as it should.

When I am stopped at a traffic light (or even when traffic comes to a stop on the interstate highway in traffic), when I begin to drive again, all of a sudden the automatic braking system engages and slams on the brakes when there is nothing in front of me that I could collide with (because the car in front of me has driven forward and out of the way). Each time it happens I am terrified the person behind me is going to rear end me because I have started to drive already and the car suddenly and inexplicably slams the brakes on hard. I can’t find a rhyme or reason to when this occurs - I can go weeks without it happening and then suddenly it will happen once or twice and then weeks again without it happening - making it tough to recreate.

After about 15,000 miles of normal driving (a few road trips but mostly commuting and taking the kids to school and sports, no towing or off roading), my vehicle developed a clunking noise. This noise was inspected by the dealer and determined to be an issue with the rear struts. This is the first time in almost 30 years of vehicle ownership that I have had a vehicle require a strut replacement.

Our car shuttered quite strongly on two occasions, while going at a low speed (around 5 miles per hour) and applying the brakes over a rough surface (pavers and a speed bump). We advised Larry H Miller Hyundai Peoria Service Department of this when we took the vehicle in for our complimentary maintenance on 12/03/24. They advised there was a TSB with this as a known issue and they found "7949 Front Brake Rotors Warp 51712A00 1.10 verify and found front brake rotors out of round perform front brake rotor machining and test drove car and verify working operation." They also advised their protocol was that the manufacturer would not replace them until the rotors were shaved 2 or 3 times (we have now had them shaved once on 12/03/24).

I was going about 20mph or less on a bumpy side road in the city and couldn’t stop at a stop light and almost hit the car in front of me. The brakes just did nothing when I mashed down and finally kicked in and I stopped before crashing into the Honda in front of me. I just reported it to Hyundai and online says there’s a class action lawsuit for this exact reason.

Breaks occasionally make the car jump or shake excessively. This has happened randomly about 4 times already since we purchased the vehicle.

I was going over a speedbump in a parking lot, following traffic. When my front wheels went over the bump, my Palisade started shaking uncontrollably, I had ZERO brake power and just missed hitting the car in front of me that started to pull away! I reached out to the dealer who stated that this is 'normal' to happen from time to time. This happened in October, 2024. I went to an online forum for a Palisade group on FB and asked and could not believe how many people this has happened to!! The general content was they were all told it was normal too, which we simply do not believe. Then it just happened today!! In my own driveway, gravel. I almost ran straight into the garage door going under 5 MPH, but again, very scary! I carry around my four grandchildren alot and the thought of this happening and them being hurt has caused me to reach out to NHTSA. PLEASE HELP UP GET HYUNDAI TO FIX THIS!!!

I was leaving a parking lot and getting ready to turn onto a busy road with my family. As I approached the road and started to brake, we went over a number of pot holes. When that happened, the whole car started to shake and I noticed that we were not slowing down. I don't know what was going on but I was scared. We were approaching a busy road quickly and I did not feel safe. I pressed HARD down on the brakes and eventually we came to a HARD stop. I told my wife what happened and she said that similar things have happened to her when she was braking and she had to swerve off of the road to avoid hitting the car in front of her. There is definately something going on with the ABS system. Going over the bumps through off the entire system and would't let me brake. I have not taken it to a dealer and it has never been inspected by anyone. Prior to the issue, there were no warning signs that came up prior to the issue, or afterwards.

This has occured multiple times. In each event, I was driving over 30mph, and had to brake hard (pushing on the brake pedal to an effort to slow down rapidly). The car's brakes locked up ...the abs engaged and braking was good, but it did not release as i let my foot of the brake, causing my car to come to a near complete stop. The car behind me, nearly rear ended me. As noted above, the vehicle's brakes do not release, after a hard brake, when you pull pressue OFF of the brake pedal.

The ABS system is faulty. When traveling at relatively low speeds (<20 mph) and over uneven surfaces (train tracks, pot holes, speed bumps, entering parking lots) the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor while the vehicle stutters. The ABS makes the vehicle shake even after the surface has returned to normal and the vehicle stopping distance dramatically increases from where it should be. This is repeatedly replicated and has nearly resulted in rear-end collisions. Having driven many, many vehicles with ABS systems this experience is NOT normal and needs to be investigated for a recall.

ABS locking up when slowing down.

Subject: Safety Concern – 2024 Hyundai Palisade Headrest Design Component Affected: Seats / Headrest Vehicle: 2024 Hyundai Palisade VIN: [XXX] Incident Date: [xxx] Mileage at Time of Incident: 15,000 Dealer: Braman Hyundai Miami, 2001 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33137 | (786) 623-4261 Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally report a safety concern involving the headrest design in my 2024 Hyundai Palisade. On [xxx], my [XXX] son briefly removed and reinserted the middle-row headrest while unsupervised. The headrest locked into place in a reversed orientation and could not be removed or corrected without disassembly by the dealership. I was charged $680 for the repair. This incident raises the following concerns: •The headrest should not be capable of locking in an incorrect and potentially unsafe position. •There are no warnings, labels, or mechanical safeguards to prevent reverse installation. •The owner's manual provides no guidance on this possibility. •This design flaw is particularly troubling in a family-oriented vehicle. •Hyundai has not acknowledged fault or offered support despite the safety implications. I believe this represents a design defect with implications under FMVSS 202a and related passenger safety standards. I am therefore requesting the following: 1.Full reimbursement of the $680 repair cost, which I believe resulted from a manufacturer design oversight. 2.Written acknowledgment of whether Hyundai has previously received similar reports, and whether a Technical Se

•What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My brakes. When I’m driving slowly over any type on bump in the road, railroad track, pulling in a driveway, dirt roads, or gravel roads my brakes lock up the whole front of my car shakes and the vehicle almost jumps up and down and then it takes about 3-5 seconds for me to be able to slam on my brakes to come to a complete stop while still inching forward before I can fully stop. •How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I’ve almost ran into a mailbox, almost got rear ended and almost braked out onto a highway because the brakes locked up. My safety and the safety of other is major concern with the brake issue and not being able to stop, those few seconds make a difference. •Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I’ve had my car to the dealership 5 times. The second time one guy was able to duplicate the issue, so they fixed some part, but that didn’t solve my issue I had it back to them within a couple of days. The other times they have not been able to duplicate the issue. •Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? This last time I brought it an engineer was supposed to come and look at it but when the tech explained what is going on he says it supposed to do that. It is not supposed to what it is doing because it’s a major safety issue for me

Issues where the breaks are ineffective. Usually at slower speeds going over brick road, uneven surface. Told hyundai about first incident when they did oil change on December 27th (at which time it had occurred twice) and they stated no issues with breaks. Has happened now more often (averaging one time a month or more). Took my vehicle in again on May 20th, 2025, they said they couldn't replicate the issue so I went back to the dealership on May 21st, 2025 and did a ride with a tech where we got the issue to trigger multiple times. Dealership had not provided an update until a few minutes ago. They stated they called their tech service line and that "they could not advise them on a repair" - service manager said that's the first time he's heard that and the car is with his manager and who will be trying to call their local area rep. Said if they cannot advise on a repair, it may not be an approved under warranty repair.

The ABS system is over sensitive or not working properly. If I am applying minimal break pressure over any uneven surface such as a small crack in the road, bump, gravel or uneven surface the ABS will engage and cause the vehicle to lurch forward at least 5 feet. This has caused multiple near miss accidents. This is an accident waiting to happen.

Please reference tracking numbers 11655582 and 11659441. This is an update to those reports. On May 13 I spoke with Deb from Hyundai National Consumer Affairs. Here is what she communicated to me. 1) The headlights are designed this way. 2) She believes it is a standard design used by other companies as well. 3) This closes out my complaint with Hyundai. I have entered [XXX] as the incident date because that is the date I purchased the car. This is a serious safety concern that I believe NHTSA should investigate because they continue to make cars with this problem.

Car has had multiple issues with brakes where it shudders on brick roads. There have been two incidents on brick roads where the car won’t brake and has slid into oncoming traffic. Hyundai is aware of the issue but, has no fix for it. They say it is safe however, definitely not safe when sliding into oncoming traffic.

This is an update to my previous complaint 11655582. Hyundai replaced the left headlight assembly on 5-5-25. Email I sent to Hyundai this morning: "I drove the car Tuesday evening and noticed the same problem as before the left headlight replacement. Later, at nearly 10:00 PM, I took the car to a dark road with little traffic to get a better look and to take the attached pictures. The outside temperature was 35 degrees with a light drizzle. Here is what I did. 1.I covered the left headlight with the thickness of two towels so only the right headlight shined on the road. I immediately saw the triangular area where there was an absence of light. I walked toward the safety defect to get a good picture. The two dark lines on the left of the picture are the shadows cast by my legs. The leg shadows did not create or impact the safety defect in any way because the safety defect was there when I stood to the side of the car and behind the headlights. 2.I repeated the experiment with the right headlight covered so only the left headlight shined on the road. The result was the same – a dark triangular area where there should be light. 3.When both headlights shine, the two defects blend with one another and project a distracting and unsafe image to the driver. Here are the conclusions that I have drawn from this experiment. 1.There must be a defective component that is used in both the left and right headlights – perhaps a reflector or lens. Perhaps that component is also used in more m

SUV pulls to the right in a unsafe manner, Dealership did a alignment but the SUV is still pulling to the right , I’ve been in twice and will back to the dealer after starting a claim to Hyunida Corporate as from my research it’s a common issue Hyunida is denying.

Coming to a stop sign, brakes would not engage, steering wheel shaking loudly. 1mm from rear ending the car stopped in front of me. The emergency brake came on right before I would have crashed. Prior to the brakes not engaging/wheel shaking no lights or warning signals from the car.

Over a bumpy street coming to a red light (stop) car stalled and failed to stop almost hitting another car. Car made a funny noise and brake petals needed alot of pressure to pust to floor

I was driving 15 miles an hour in a neighborhood and approached a stop sign. When I went to brake, the brakes vibrated, the steering wheel shook and I wasn’t stopping. I pushed down harder and eventually stopped just before entering the intersection. The roads were dry and smooth, no gravel, but it felt like I was sliding on gravel or ice. This has happened several times before in rough parking lots but I thought it was just a random fluke because of gravel or a bump in the road. No sensors or warning lights came on. It happened on a Sunday so we will contact the dealership tomorrow. We have an extended warranty.

Vehicle was not being driven. Windshield cracked from bottom about 12 inches, could only have been caused from being a stress fracture.

Sunroof randomly shattered in closed position on highway. I have pictures that show the glass bowing outward toward the sky instead of bowing toward inside the car indicating a object did not hit my sunroof. I also have pictures and videos of the sunroof and moment leading to glass shattering also proving it was not caused by an object. It is a serious issue because my sunroof was closed and my family was in the car. It couldve caused serious injury to the eyes if the inside slide cover wasnt closed as well. Something has failed causing this and I dont wish serious injury on anyone. I will be seeing my dealer tomorrow 4/22/25 huntington hyundai in new york to further evaluate it. There was no prior warning or symptoms before the exploding sunroof.

There is a defect in the headlights. As you can see from the attached picture, the right side projects light further up the road than the left side. The left side has a large triangular black-out region which blocks my view of the next lane. I took the vehicle to Phil Long Hyundai in Colorado Springs Colorado for warranty repair. They refused to drive the car at night because that was outside of their normal business hours. They adjusted the headlights “as high as they could go” according to their invoice. All that did was move the defect further up the road.

I have had multiple incidences over the past year where in stopped traffic, the car will suddenly slam on brakes as all cars start to pull off in traffic. I have almost been rear-ended by the car behind me with these sudden stops. Often when this happens I try again to pull forward and it will slam on breaks again and I have to quickly put it in park and then drive again to get it to let me begin to drive forward. There is nothing blocking my path forward. This usually in multi-lane traffic stops, so it appears that it is confused by the movement of cars in front of me and beside me. I did take it to the dealership and they could not replicate the issue since it is intermittent. They did not see any error codes that were logged either so couldn't help me with the issue. I also receive for long periods of time when driving more than one hour a message on the instrument panel that says "Forward Safety system limited. Radar blocked." This eliminates cruise control and forward safety systems linked to radar.

As the vehicle drove over railroad tracks the steering wheel began to shake violently and I attempted to push the brake pedal with my full body weight but the brakes would not work and the car lunged forward, striking the vehicle in front of me. The failure of the brake system on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade prevented me from stopping the vehicle and thus I impacted the vehicle in front of me putting not only my life in jeopardy but also the driver of the car in front of me. I sustained a neck injury and headaches and have required ongoing medical care as a result. This vibrating steering wheel and braking issue has happened in the past several times and was reported to Wiesner Hyundai on several occasions; however, the dealership was not able to recreate the problem. The vehicle has been inspected by the service department at Wiesner Hyundai. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problems prior to the failure.

The driver's side seat belt does not buckle when it is cold outside. It takes several attempts for it to latch.

Sunroof exploded while driving, no evidence of any debris or external force

I love my palisade but the only terrifying thing is what happens at low speeds if I apply the brake on uneven surface/pothole it feels as if the brake falls out from under my foot, a loud rattling noise/vibration happens and it becomes nearly impossible to stop. Extremely dangerous I have a [XXX] and another child on the way. I don’t know how this car got top safety pick with this issue. I have read many others having the same issue with their 2024 palisade. I have had a few near misses with accidents because of this happening. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Went over railroad tracks approaching intersection approximately 40 feet from tracks. Tapped brakes while going over tracks (light was red) and anti-lock brake system kicked in. I was suddenly unable to stop the vehicle as the brakes were not working and I was continuing to lurch forward toward the intersection at approximately 10 mph. The brakes continued to fail for approximately 1 - 1.5 seconds before I let off and slammed down on them as hard as I could and finally slammed to a stop. My car at this point, had gone slightly into the intersection, but not enough to get clipped by a car. Had I not let off the brake and re-hit it with force, I fear I would have continued to roll into the intersection where I would have gotten T-boned by traffic. There were no warning lights or lamps that kicked on when this happened but the steering wheel and brake were vibrating. This is a newer vehicle - less than a year from purchase, but I plan on taking it to the dealership to look at.

On a brand new vehicle from day one the driver's side seat belt disconnects at random times despite being correctly buckled and fastened. It happens during standard driving conditions even when simply maintaining a steady speed. This is life threatening for my wife. We have taken it to the dealership multiple times, and they refuse to address it because they cannot reproduce it on their short few minute test drives. I have seen multiple posts from people online facing the same issue. For others it is often in the rear seats, but in our case the issue is for the driver themselves (the most often occupied seat). I do not trust that these seatbelts would protect in the case of a collision when they can't even stay buckled at a steady low speed. There are no warnings shown and the car is registering no fault codes. Again, let me emphasize, this car was brand new when these issues occurred. Hyundai refuses to address. This is life threatening. All of the information I give below was for the most recent incident, but this is happening daily since we bought the car.

The contact owned a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, an 18-wheeler crashed while driving approximately 85-90 MPH into the rear end of the vehicle and impacted the vehicle approximately 4 times including the passenger side. As a result, the vehicle ricocheted into a concrete barrier. The contact did not recollect where the vehicle came to a stop. The contact mentioned that the driver of the 18-wheeler stated that he was unaware the contact vehicle was in front. The air bags failed to deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was totaled. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was driving on the freeway and my sun roof suddenly just exploded. It was like a bomb went off in my car. My safety was at risk due to the glass. I have reported it to my insurance company to be replaced.

The passenger side wiper stopped working. Hyundai dealer denied warranty claim.

The windows will come off track if you try to roll them up going highway speeds, it is guaranteed to do it if it is windy. The window will vibrate intensely. It seems like the window will break. The only way to fix it is to stop/slow down to about 20mph before it will roll up correctly.
