2024 Hyundai Palisade complaints

Engine fire caused by AC compressor. On 09/28/24, at 1700 miles and in the parking lot of a restaurant, smoke suddenly began filling the cabin and when I looked out the window the entire car's front was engulfed in a gray smoke. The overpowering smell was of burning wire insulation, plastic, and rubber. I immediately shut the car off, popped the hood, and was ready to run into the restaurant for a fire extinguisher when I noticed the large cloud of smoke was dissipating, but the heat was still incredibly extreme and a good amount of smoke was still pouring from the engine. My sister-in-law entered the car to retrieve her purse, and her eyes instantly started watering and she had a headache for several days. She is still complaining of her chest burning. After calling roadside, the AAA driver stated the car really smelled badly burned, and hauled the car off to the dealer of purchase. The fire was on 09/28/24 (a Saturday), and on Monday, 09/30/24, I submitted what took place to Hyundai. This is when the fraud started and Hyundai, with the help of the dealer, have purposely done everything possible to conceal the fire. I have full details of this fraud, and it's simply shocking. I am awaiting information regarding the restaurant's video recordings.

We were driving on a highway between two towns with no other cars on either side of the highway and our sunroof exploded. We pulled to the side of the road thinking there was a gunshot or a tire exploded to discover the shattered sunroof. Thankfully we had the slide closed and it contained the glass pieces. The sunroof class was pointed upward. No rocks were bouncing around and nothing hit our windshield. The dealership warranty manager says it was a road hazard but there was no hazard to be had around us.

I bought a 24 Palisade Ltd Few month into ownership, I was approaching a stop light going 10 mph and started to apply the brakes as I passed over some slightly bumpy ground. The car lurched 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; I was one foot from rear-ending a biker and a car in front of me despite beginning to break with plenty of time to stop - this is so far from how an ABS system is supposed to work and something that will get you in a wreck), Hyundai dealership has told me that, they dont see a problem and fixed nothing.

While braking at a stop, and encountering a pothole (has occurred even without a pothole on straight surfaces), it feels like the is ABS kicking in to avoid wheel lockup, and apparent slowing which rapidly mimics activities that could cause hard braking. Similar to when the car is on ice/snow and the car pulses to stop. Unsafe, as the vehicle does not top when intended and forces the vehicle to take longer to stop with the potential to involuntarily enter an intersection. I have had this occur multiple times. I am fearful that I will potentially have an accident with my grandchildren in the car. Dealership is aware of multiple issues, but cannot duplicate and thus will not resolve. No warning lights, or notifications occurred. Has been discussed on 2024 Palisade Calligraphy forums. Review other reviews on reddit where other models have been affected.

After I purchased within a month I was approaching a parking spot and I applied brakes. They wouldn’t press down and the car start jumping forward. I pressed hard and the car would not stop and I hit a curb and it finally stopped. Second time: Approaching a stop sign I went over an un even are in the asphalt and the car jumped forward and I applied brakes and it jumped around and would not stop. I took to purchasing dealership and told them and showed them online issues others were having. They gave a rental for a week and called and said to come and get the car they could not duplicate the issue. I told them I was afraid and didn’t want to hit someone or a person. They said unless they could duplicate there was nothing they could do. I changed dealerships and plan to take to them for the issue. It has happened to me on a dirt road approaching the entrance to make a turn. I am making sure before I take back that I can have someone ride with me and show them. I don’t want them telling me they cannot duplicate again. It is very scary and if a pedestrian was in front of me I have no control of the car when this happens.

This happened many times, almost causing an accident once. When driving at a slow speed over a small bump in the road, and braking, the ABS system goes haywire and the vehicle fails to stop.

Whenever the car goes over bumps in the road at low speeds the ABS system activates. You can feel a “grinding” sensation emanating from the brake pedal. When it happens, if you try to engage the brakes, they don’t engage for several seconds. It happened to me recently with my kids in the car and we almost rolled into a busy intersection and could have been seriously injured.

When stopping on uneven roadway the vehicle shakes violently for a several seconds as the vehicle continues forward. There have been times the vehicle almost impacted another vehicle or traveled forward into an intersection.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? When braking at low speeds, breaks start to shake (almost as if the ABS kicked in) while going over uneven ground or a bump. Almost as though the brakes skip making it so the car won't come to a stop. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Car felt like it wasn't going to stop or took longer to stop in a situation where the ABS did not need to kick on. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, but they say all the cars do it but I see it as a problem since it prevents the car from stopping normally. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages when it happens, it just randomly happens.

When braking while going over bumps/railroad tracks/rough roads, the brakes rattle/pump as if the ABS has kicked in and the car doesn’t slow down/stop.

The brakes in this car have a major safety issue. Many others besides me have experienced this issue I have discovered through reddit and youtube. Under very specific conditions the brakes fail to work properly. At slow speeds over uneven surfaces when you hit the brakes occasionally the car will fail to stop and continue on an addition 10-16 feet before finally the brakes kick in and stop. It's a helpless feeling as you press down as hard as possible on the brakes but the car continues to move. This can be difficult to recreate because it does not happen every time, I have found this happens most often driving over train tracks slowly while applying brakes but its also happened in other instances like hit a pothole at slow speeds while applying the brakes. This has probably happened at least a dozen times since Ive had this car about 8 months. I would guess the speed it happens at is about 5-15 mph, never at high speeds thankfully. I feel nervous driving with my babies in the car, I am extra cautious knowing about this issue to attempt to stop much earlier than I normally would. This problem would most likely cause a fender bender with the car stopped ahead of me but what if there's uneven surface while Im stopping at a red light and I end up sliding out into traffic? Please please thoroughly investigate this issue before my family or another family has a tragic problem! Thank you

In north Attleboro, on a sunny dry day in the 70s. Coming to a stop sign at the bottom of a 20ish degree decline. As I approached the stop sign the brakes at around 10mph started to lock. It felt like ABS kicking in on ice. I skidded past the stop sign. There was nothing I could do to stop it. Luckily no one was in front of me, I would have hit them.

In Easton, on a sunny dry day in the 70s. Coming to a stop sign at the bottom of a 30ish degree decline. As I approached the stop sign the brakes at around 10mph started to lock. It felt like ABS kicking in on ice. I skidded past the stop sign. There was nothing I could do to stop it. Luckily no one was in front of me, I would have hit them. I have already reported one very similar incident.

While driving at low speeds, turning, and braking simultaneously causes the brakes to alternately pulse and the steering wheel to shake left and right violently. It only stops when the brake pedal is released and the car is driving straight. Difficult to replicate but has happened multiple times

On three seperate occasuions while going over small bumps in the road and braking at the same time, the car will automatically release the brakes and coast over the bumps. Each time I was apporaching stopped vehicles at stop lights. I was within inches of hitting them each time.

A lot of the time I go to press on my brakes, my vehicle skids as if I'm sliding on ice but we are in dead of summer. It makes a crunchy noise almost and the pedal vibrates. It's a 2024 and has less than 10,000 miles and has been doing it since I got the vehicle with only 500 miles. It has skid to the point that if there is a vehicle in front of me it can cause an accident because the vehicle does not come to a complete stop. I, now try to stop way before I'm supposed to and keep a further distance because I'm afraid to crash, and I drive on the bypass daily. There are no warning lights, I mentioned it to the person who sold it and he said there were no recalls and now he no longer works for the dealership.

The brakes failed to operate properly when braking from at a slow speed and driving over a bumpy road. The entire car started shaking and the brakes took longer to respond than normal. Had someone been in front of me I would have crashed. There are currently two palisades at my dealer right now with the same complaint / issue. The car is currently with the dealer but they have stated that they do not know how to fix the issue. There were no warning indicators of any kind. The car shook violently and the brakes didn’t respond.

Abs fails when going over bumps at speeds of 15mph or under and I've had it repaired 2x in the 3 months I've owned it

While approaching an intersection to make a right-hand turn at approximately 5 mph, I lightly applied the brakes. The entire car shook, and instead of slowing down, it continued to lurch forward. The road conditions were dry but slightly bumpy. The car exhibits the same behavior on uneven surfaces, such as in an alley with a slightly uneven road. The ABS system engages unnecessarily, increasing the stopping distance. On several occasions, this issue has nearly caused a collision with the vehicle in front due to the car’s inability to slow down properly and its tendency to lurch forward into intersections.

My husband was driving down the highway when he heard a loud boom! He then heard some wind. He pulled over to the side only to discover that the sunroof had exploded. Then while on his way to the dealership he could hear it crumbling more.

When braking on an uneven surface, the anti-lock braking system will sometimes kick in, causing the car to shake and not deliver the stopping power the driver expects. I've nearly rear ended multiple people and have glided out into intersections before. Typically happens when leaving parking lots, coming to 4 way stops, or pulling into driveways. I've also had the emergency braking system kick in on a few occasions while this happened. You lose all ability to maneuver the vehicle when this happens. I've had the dealership look at this multiple times only to tell me that it's my driving habits causing the ABS to initiate. A simple search online shows that lots of 2024 Palisade owners are reporting similar issues. I do not believe Hyundai understands how to fix this issue yet.

Antilock braking system has issues. On two separate occasions when stopping at an intersection with significant potholes the car shook and wouldn't come to a stop no matter how hard the brake was depressed. It would not come to a stop and had to take foot off the brake and press down hard again for it to respond.

Shaking and not braking at slow speeds going on bumpy roads. It happened a several times to me, once almost entered the crossing, this is not normal.

Experience weird braking on bumps, potholes, sand, etc. Car won't stop normally when this problem activates. Very unsafe. Brake pedal starts "vibrating" when this is happening. It wont brake normally. There is no warning lights. No issues other than this.

While driving at slow speeds over bumps or potholes the vehicle shakes and doesn't stop. I have to remove my foot from the brake and smash the pedal to the floor. It happens at least once a week. The dealership hasn't seen it yet. I drive with my two kids in the car 90% of the time so it is a major concern.

We were driving down a rough road about 15-20mph coming to a stop sign when I started breaking the ABS breaks engaged and I could not stop the vehicle in time and almost got hit by oncoming traffic. After that event the car breaking system worked properly. I did not notice any warning lights on dash board. I have called the dealer waiting on a response.

Yesterday at roughly 6:25 PM while while coming to a stop traveling about 7-10 mph the braking system failed to stop the vehicle. The ABS system went off violently and the steering wheel and entire vehicle shook violently. It was as if the braking system completely stopped responding mid stop. The vehicle was within 3 feet of hitting another vehicle. Well, this vehicle has exhibited these symptoms before it is usually only a shuttering, and the vehicle comes to a stop nearly normally. However, this time it did not Stop and continued forward. This has been inspected by the dealership once before with nothing found.

In two instances overbthe last week, my wife has experienced her antilock brake system (ABS) initiating on dry, flat, asphalt pavement. The ABS deployment was obviously unexpected and caused the vehicle to shake abruptly and kept the vehicle from coming to a stop as quickly ad it should have. There seems to be an issue with the ABS system and is causing dangerous situations on the roadway.

Seems the ABS system kicks in when it really should not. Just driving slowly and hitting a pothole and or going over a speed bump or something similar while braking will cause the ABS system to kick on and make the vehicle go further before actually stopping. This happened multiple times and two times I almost hit someone due to the ABS coming on and not stopping my vehicle in time. The vehicle will shake a bit and make a loud noise when this happened. The vehicle has been inspected and was told it is working as intended. Which I find hard to believe. Our Subaru does not do this. No warning lights are on. It is just a very unsafe thing to happen.

I bought this car 7/23/2024 and on 7/28/24 I noticed my coolant was almost empty after looking under the hood. I filled it myself and I took it back to the dealer to have it checked. They said everything was fine. Told myself I would just keep an eye on it. 8/11/2024 checked again and it went from full line to low line. Took it back to dealership and they check it out again but explained coolant does fluctuate. Decided to keep an eye on it again because they say everything is fine. Today 8/26/24 checked my coolant again and it was completely empty! Not one drop of pink fluid was in the coolant container. Taking it back to the dealership AGAIN! We will see what happens this time.

See attached document for complaint.

When driving the car began to shake severely and lost all braking ability. The only reason we stopped was the Anton front end collision slammed us to a stop. My mom and children were in the car at the time, if there was no car infront of us we would not have stopped and would have ended up in an intersection and could have been tboned or if we going faster anti front end collision would not have been able to stop us and would could have been injured or worse ! The car has been brought in twice to two seperate Hyundai dealerships for diagnosis, they were unable to diagnosis anything.

The driver seatbelt has come unlatched while driving on 3 occasions over the past month, which is how long I have owned the vehicle. I will be driving normally and the seatbelt just pops open. No pressure is being applied to the belt or the buckle at the time it pops open.

While driving and approaching a stop, the vehicle would not stop when gradually pressing on the brake. The only way to stop the vehicle was to SLAM on the brake. When I would brake entering a parking lot, the vehicle would continue and would not slow down as I applied pressure on the brake until I slammed the brake.

When driving at slow rate of speed, the "Check Forward Safety System" and "Check Side Safety System' lights will come on spontaneously and will turn off after a few moments and/or if I shut the vehicle off and turn it back on. This happened another time when I was parked in the vehicle where the lights came on spontaneously.

While braking at lower speed over non smooth road, my brakes jam up and I can not brake. My car drifted right into an intersection and grateful no cars were coming. Has happened multiple times.

ABS activating for no reason while braking in perfect driving conditions and not allowing the vehicle to come to a stop as needed. The first incident caused me to slide through a stop sign narrowly avoiding other traffic, and the second incident almost caused me to rear end the vehicle in front on me. This is apparently a known issue with Hyundai and needs to be addressed ASAP!

Hyundai Service for Malfunction 8-10-24 Took New 2024 Palisade to Hallmark Hyundai Service Dept. for issue with handling On 4 different occasions while driving out of a parking garage at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville TN, going approximately 5 MPH or so, the front wheels started moving back and forth very violently. Steering wheel shaking with violent wheel movement. I held the steering wheel Firmly and slammed the brakes. Shaking stopped. This happened on 3 different occasions. The forth occasion happened while pulling into a parking area at Centennial Park, Nashville TN. I hit a small pot hole and the same activity occurred while driving 10-15MPH. I held the steering wheel Firmly and Firmly applied the brakes to make it stop the shaking. Reported the incident to Hallmark Hyundai on 8-7-24. Nicole set me an appointment for 8-10-24 at 8am for immediate inspection and to make sure everything was still “tight”. After meeting with the technician, her immediate comment was that this is called a “Death Wobble”. They ran a full diagnostic and found no codes. They want me to bring the vehicle back and keep it and perform tests and more inspection for this may be the first report of such dangerous activity. They think it could be the driving assist system, abs, suspension issues, etc.??? The technician stated that the “Death Wobble” happened to her once while traveling at a speed of 60MPH. I asked if this could happen at any traveling speed, the answer was YES!!!!

I was leaving my neighborhood approaching a stop sign going 15-20 mph and started to apply the brakes. It was a little bumpy and maybe very light gravel. (Clear weather, dry road) The car suddenly and unusually applied the brakes repeatedly (I felt it through the pedal). It actually took the car longer to stop than normally it would have (I drive this route every day). It defintely was unusual, caught me off guard, and could have been worse as I ultimately stopped much closer than normal to a 45 mile an hour 2 lane road. My husband was with me in the car, and he mentioned he recalled a similar experience several months ago.

Dealership made several repairs at no cost to me that minimized the issue but issue still present. Car is leased. There were NO weights on rear tires, weights had to be installed. Brakes feel as if being pushed upward when driving over rough road surface. Gas pedal vibrating when driving over rough surface. And feels as if bottom of vehicle or something under is dragging. Please help - I have 3 children one of whom is in wheelchair. Safety is a priority. Thank you.

When driving over slightly uneven terrain the brakes malfunction and don't work. I start feeling a vibrating and rattling and the car just doesn't stop when braking. There are many reports of this issue online. Yesterday I was involved in an accident because of this and that I god I didn't hit a person only a car and no one was seriously injured

When braking lightly between 10-20MPH, the ABS will activate if I hit a small bump or pothole. Something as simple as pulling into my driveway will cause the ABS to activate. On one occasion, I was driving through a gas station parking lot, lightly pressed on the brakes to slow down over a rough patch of concrete and the ABS came on. The car behaved as though I was braking on ice. This is incredibly dangerous and Hyundai has been unable to diagnose the issue and unwilling to present any viable options.

This complaint is in regards to RECALL 255 TO ADDRESS A CONDITION INVOLVING THE ENGINE VALVE SPRING(S). Hyundai leased us a Palisade under this recall without informing us about the recall until after we had signed the lease paperwork. We were told there was a stop sale on the car when we went to pick it up the next day and we were not allowed to drive it off the lot. We have been without our car for over 9 weeks due to Hyundai not resolving this recall in a timely manner. No definitive update has been provided on when this recall will be resolved and when we will get our leased car.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V106000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that a second notice would be mailed parts became available. The contact stated that a case was opened after inquiring about a buy back. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I was approaching a stop sign at low speed. Road was a bit gravely and when I tried breaking the abs kicked in and wouldn’t allow me to break. A car was going and last second finally car stopped. It was so scary! Many times this keeps happening as I’m breaking if road has a slight bump or rocks the breaking system kicks in and takes over not allowing me to break. You hear the noise of the ABS taking over when it shouldn’t. I took car to hyundai service and they said they couldn’t “ replicate” the problem. I don’t know how they couldn’t because iI happens all the time!

I was going fairly slow, about 25. Approached a stop sign and my vehicle began shaking uncontrollably and I could not stop. Ended up going through the stop sign and it stopped abruptly. This could have been a deadly scenario. This is not the first time it has happened but not to this extend. Also the rear collision warning does not always work! I backed into a dumpster at work and now have thousands of dollars to repair my back hatch. I feel UNSAFE in this vehicle and driving my three year old son around in it!

The front passenger side seatbelt buckle holder stopped working randomly after driving in our 2024 Hyundai Palisade which is 2 months old. It worked correctly on a 5 minute ride. And when we got back into the car the red “Press” button was stuck in a recessed position. My wife could not buckle her seatbelt. It would not stay in. There was nothing dropped into the buckle receiver and it was taken to the dealership and a new buckle receiver has been ordered. This is extremely dangerous and I have lost all confidence in the seat belt buckles throughout the vehicle. I have small children, and I’m glad we were on a short drive and did not get into an accident where my wife could have been ejected from the car from a faulty seatbelt.

When going approximately 15mph on a brick road when approaching a stop sign I began breaking and the breaks malfunctioned. The breaks began almost pulsating like the ABS was kicking on. I was unable to stop my vehicle and had to turn onto the upcoming road. Luckily no other vehicles were present or this would have caused an accident.

Three times in the last month, the vehicle has failed to stop within a normal distance when brakes are applied. All 3 of these occurred when slowing the vehicle with the brakes at slow speeds on rough surfaces. The front of the car bounces, the brake pedal vibrates rapidly and the brakes release. Even though brake pedal pressure is applied at a normal door pressure, the car doesn’t slow down and will continue forward potentially entering an intersection or hitting the car in front of it. When brake pressure is increased pressing extremely hard on the pedal, the car stops very abruptly.
