My vehicle suffered a complete loss of power when trying to accelerate from a low rate of speed. This has now happened twice while driving and poses a safety risk to me and my family. The problem has not been reproduced by the dealer. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer. There was no warning or symptoms before the problem occured. Warning lamps appeared after the problem.

Our 2026 Hyundai Palisade has experienced repeated dangerous electrical failures while driving. XXX All instrument displays went completely black while driving. The engine continued running. Gateway Hyundai in Fargo, ND, checked the vehicle but verbally reported finding no diagnostic codes. XXX While driving on the highway at night, the interior displays and exterior lights repeatedly flickered off and on. XXX The vehicle unexpectedly lost power and shut down at highway speed, requiring a tow to Don Bessette Hyundai in [XXX]. The dealership documented 36 stored diagnostic trouble codes, primarily communication faults. The codes were cleared, and an ECM software update was performed. No confirmed cause was identified. XXX The instrument panel went completely black twice while driving, lasting approximately 10 minutes and 14 minutes. XXX While driving at night, the interior and exterior lights again flickered off and on. Approximately 30 minutes later, the instrument panel went black and the exterior lights dimmed. We pulled over, activated the hazard lights, and restarted the vehicle, but normal lighting did not return. We drove approximately 14 miles with hazard lights on to reach the nearest town. The lights eventually returned, but the instrument panel continued flickering, the front camera repeatedly reported being disabled, and driver-attention warnings appeared during the drive home. These failures continued after dealership service and a software update. We are concerne

FACT: Complete failure by selling dealer Jeff Wyler Hyundai Colerain to perform manufacturer-mandated Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) under R.C. 4517.53 prior to delivery on July 20, 2026. Consequently, high-voltage hybrid computer updates, safety modules, Hybrid Control Unit (HCU), Battery Management System (BMS), and AWD actuators were never verified for road readiness. Dealer also failed to lower tires from 47 PSI shipping pressure to 36 PSI operating pressure. Operating this vehicle with unconfigured hybrid modules and tires over-inflated to 47 PSI (found around 8/12) caused severe, structural drivetrain vibrations during the first 1,100 miles (9/3). RoadForce balancer identified one bad tire (9/10) which was replaced. However, we suspect the remaining 3 tires are compromised with internal belt micro-tears as balancers cannot replicate highway speed/heat. Vibration remained after tire replacement. Further diagnostics found the propeller shaft assy was bad so it was replaced (9/21). Vibration is still unresolved; technicians are currently on track to inspect the AWD coupler. FACT: When confronted, selling dealer’s General Counsel formally denied liability (9/29), pointing to a service record executed by our local facility two months post-sale (at 1,570 miles) as satisfying their PDI requirement. Selling dealer then telephoned our local service manager (9/30) asking why they had not "claimed" the PDI with corporate. This inquiry proves selling dealer was entirely ignorant of

Korum Hyundai documented my 2026 Palisade Calligraphy as having a “Failing bumper support structure” and noted a rear-bumper indentation on 3 of 4 vehicles inspected. Purchased 1/28/26, delivered 3/1/26. After road trips and the first wash following the 30-day ceramic-coating cure, the indentation was clearly evident. Multiple inspections found no evidence of impact or camera-recorded damage. The bumper was replaced through insurance and recoated. After another 30-day cure, the same indentation was again evident after the next wash and now appears better or worse depending on driving, weather and temperature. Korum referred me to Hyundai Motor America. After nearly 3 months of calls, emails and delays with no repair or resolution, Hyundai is now sending me back to Korum on 11/5. I am going in circles while the documented “Failing bumper support structure” remains unresolved with Hyundai of America/Korum Hyundai.

These vehicles are having disabling electrical issues, mine has been in the shop for 3 weeks and the Dealership along with Tech support from Hyundai are unable to repair yet. As I searched online forums I have found that every one of the 2026 palisade are having electrical issues that they cannot find a repair for and lot of these vehicles have been in the shop for over a month.

The engine misfires and runs very rough when stopped in drive after highway driving, and the vehicle hesitates and struggles to accelerate from a stop. At about 3,000 miles, Phil Long, Colorado Springs diagnosed a failing cylinder 6 fuel injector and replaced it on 22 April 2025. The problem continues after that repair. The condition repeats in the same way. After 15 minutes to 1 hour of interstate driving, I exit the highway. When I stop at the first traffic light on the off ramp, the engine begins idling very rough, and the tachometer shows about 500 RPM. When I shift to park, the idle smooths out. When I shift back to drive, it becomes very rough again. Pulling away from the light is difficult because the vehicle hesitates and does not accelerate normally. This has happened three times since the repair, most recently on [XXX] at about 5,800 miles. The check engine light did not come on. Conditions: 80 F, clear weather. [XXX] exit [XXX]. This is a safety concern because the vehicle may not accelerate when I pull into an intersection or merge into traffic. Other 2026 Palisade owners have reported similar misfires and hesitation, and Hyundai issued TSB 26-01-068H (Service Campaign 9D6) for engine misfires on 2026 Palisade 3.5L vehicles. I have asked Hyundai to confirm whether this campaign has been performed on my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On September 21, 2026, at approximately 9:20 AM, while attempting to turn off the engine of the parked vehicle, the engine failed to shut down as commanded. Due to severe ECM misfire and erratic anti-stall compensation, the engine surged uncontrollably and propelled the vehicle forward. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) completely failed to detect the obstacle, alert the driver, or apply emergency braking, resulting in an unavoidable low-speed collision and slight front-end body damage. The following day, on September 22, 2026, at approximately 2:49 PM, the vehicle abruptly triggered a powertrain fail-safe mode in traffic, forcefully restricting speed to roughly 20 mph (limp-in mode), when my wife found it when trying to running faster from a STOP mode, to prevent catastrophic catalytic converter damage caused by persistent combustion misfires. It is impossible to be the wrong operation of my wife since limp-in mode cannot be activated during low speed running. On September 23, 2026, the vehicle was taken to an authorized Hyundai dealership to apply pending TSB 26-01-068H (Campaign 9D6). While the dealer completed the software update and reported no active DTCs remained afterward, Hyundai Motor America has flatly denied manufacturer liability for the property damage incurred directly prior to this safety remedy. Hyundai's ECM software logic flaw poses a critical safety risk involving unintended acceleration, complete shutdown failure, and active safety system non-i

The 1 year old vehicle experienced a serious transmission/drivetrain malfunction that ultimately made it unable to drive. On September 3, 2026, while I was on the road, the vehicle stopped operating properly and had to be towed to the Hyundai dealership. The vehicle and affected components remain available for inspection at the dealership. The failure created a safety risk because the vehicle became unreliable and inoperable while being used on public roads. A sudden loss of propulsion or inability to move normally could have placed me and other motorists at risk, especially in active traffic. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by the Hyundai dealership. After performing work, the dealer told me the vehicle was ready for pickup on September 4. However, the same issue was still present before I even left the dealership, so I left the vehicle there again. A few days later, when I returned to retrieve personal belongings, the service advisor said the vehicle could not be driven and we had to go to the rear parking area where it was stored. The vehicle has been inspected and serviced by an authorized Hyundai dealership, and Hyundai corporate has also been contacted regarding the issue. To my knowledge, it has not been inspected by police, insurance representatives, or an independent repair facility. Prior to the complete failure, the vehicle showed symptoms of improper transmission/drivetrain operation. The revolutions would spike when gas was applied and then lurch forward

The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while at a stoplight and attempting to depress the accelerator pedal while making a left turn, the vehicle lost power. The Police showed up on the scene and were able to jumpstart the vehicle and called AAA to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine control module needed to be updated. The engine control module was updated; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the dealer test drove the vehicle and informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as intended. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 300.

Vehicle purchased new in August 2026. Within 80 miles, it began experiencing a recurring electrical fault causing simultaneous warnings across the steering, braking, and driver-assistance systems (DTCs C28C586, C164286, C181486, C181483, logged via Hyundai's Bluelink diagnostic system). The fault has recurred at least 9 times between 80 and 1,121 miles despite three repair attempts (8/28/26, 9/8/26, 9/14/26), including one escalation to Hyundai's national TechLine (Case #2026091700002) referencing TSB 25-GI-016H. Each repair was declared successful, and the identical fault returned within days each time. During active occurrences, dashboard alerts have included "Check Driver Assistance System," "Check Rear Cross-Traffic Safety System," and simultaneous warnings for lane departure, forward collision, blind spot, and anti-lock braking systems. This represents a loss of reliable communication between safety-critical systems (steering assist, ABS, and driver-assistance) while driving, creating a risk of degraded steering or braking response without warning. Manufacturer has declined to repurchase or replace the vehicle.

The instrument cluster automatically turns on (and stays on) when a car door or the trunk is opened without the car being started. This lead to the battery draining twice while packing and unpacking the car while on a recent camping trip. If I was not with another family that was able to jump my car, my family would have been stranded in the woods. The automatic wake up is considered a feature, but it can put people's safety in serious jeopardy by causing them to be stranded in remote areas. The trim level of this vehicle is marketed as the off-road package, but this feature makes using the vehicle in the manner it is marketed dangerous.

On September 15, 2026, my 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy would not start and could not be driven. AAA responded, tested the 12-volt battery, and advised me that it had a bad battery cell. The vehicle was towed to Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque for diagnosis and repair. A service representative later told me that a parasitic electrical drain or malfunctioning component may have depleted the battery, but I have not received a written diagnosis confirming the cause. As of September 28, the vehicle remains at the dealership and has not been repaired or returned to me. I have also experienced two seat-related safety concerns. The driver’s seat moves backward automatically and presses into the second-row captain’s seat area where my child’s rear-facing car seat is installed. This movement pushes the child’s head forward. In addition, the second-row seat controls sometimes do not respond when pressed, or the seat moves in the opposite direction from the one selected. I am concerned about my child’s safety from the seat movement and about being stranded with my three children if the vehicle fails to start again. I am reporting the conditions I observed. Hyundai has not provided me with a diagnosis explaining the no-start failure or the seat behavior.

INCIDENT: Pressed brakes but car accelerated. STORY: I reversed out of a parking spot, turning so I could go to the right in parking lot. Put the car in drive and proceeded driving veering right in the parking lot. I pressed brake within 5 seconds of that but the accelerated instead, so I released the brake, looked down to double check I wasn't losing my mind and confirmed, I was pushing the break when it accelerated, pressed it again but much lighter this time and it did accelerated again as I veered to the right where there were no cars parked. I parked, turned off the car and then restarted it. I was not able to recreate the incident but also, no idea why it happened and scary to think what would have happened if I was on the highway or busy road. There were no lights/alerts that showed up when it happened. I plant to take it to dealership to check. And I have read other reports of owners having the same issue with this car.

My "Vehicle Health" reports all systems good on the BlueLink App-- however, when I open "diagnostics history", it shows 8 repeated reports under DTC: C183987 (SAFETY - Anti-lock Braking System). There is also a reports for a DTC C186B87 (ELECTRICAL- Lane Departure Warning System), and a C188087 (null). So there are 10 total reports of this in my history between 11/7/2025 to 9/18/2026. The reports for the anti-lock breaks were reviewed by the dealership and advised by Hyundais tech line that they were just glitches in computer system. However, they have continued. And on top of that, I just filed a separate report about my car accelerating when I pressed the brake (thankfully it happened in a parking lot)-- no idea if its related but its all fishy. Thus I will be going back for another review by dealership "service" team. Initially the first few reports did have an ABS light that showed up on my screen which is what prompted me to look into the app for issue only to see it said everything was fine, until I looked deeper at the historical reports. But lately there has been no ABS light showing up on my dash but the reports are still coming in.

The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the brakes independently activated. The vehicle failed to drive forward or reverse. The contact stated that after several attempts to release the brakes, the brakes released. The dealer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that while the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal went to the floorboard and the vehicle stopped. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 8,100.

We purchased a New 2026 Hyundai Palisade Limited. We drove two other palisades (XRT and SEL). We did not have any issues with the windshield. We purchased a Limited trim that was not on the lot, but in a different city with the same company. We did not drive a Limited or Calligraphy since we drove two other palisades. When I drove off the lot with our new Palisade I noticed the vision through the windshield didn't seem right (like a fishbowl when looking right and cars in front at a certain distants). We thought, let's give it a week or two, since we many not be use to the new SUV. After less than two weeks we both said something isn't right with the windshield, still was distorted (fishbowl) type of look when driving. The dealship looked at it and said, this is how Heads Up Displays (HUD) are. They called Hyundai, Hyundai said the same thing. We do not have a HUD in our limited. The dealership said, yes you have a HUD on your Limited. After the dealership did more research they found out we do not have the Heads Up Display. Since the windshield contains the HUD and Acoustic for Limited and Calligraphy we do not have an option do replace the windshield with a lower line e.g. SEL. We are stuck with driving a car that could cause an acident due to not having a clear picture of vehicles in front or when turning right. We don't have no options but to drive a hazad SUV.

There was a recall for my 3rd row seat, my car sat at the dealer for 6 months due to it. They tell me they fixed the recall after 6 months I receive my car and my seats are not functioning. I believe the safety of my kids are at risk due to this. They have yet to take the vehicle back to fix the problem and it has been over 2 months now.

I first brought my vehicle to the Towson MD Hyundai Service Department, near my summer home, upon receiving a warning that the front sensor was not operating. I was advised that the issue will be covered under warranty. Imagine my surprise when I was advised that it would not be covered because the service team located documentation in the vehicle's file indicating that the sensor had been damaged while the new vehicle was being transported to or delivered to the Sarasota FL dealership where we purchased it. They said this documentation specifically chronicled the damage. I reported this to Hyunai's upper mgmt, was assigned a rep who promised to contact Sarasota on my behalf and work to resolve the issue between the two dealerships. After many weeks, she reported back that Sarasota denied that this damage had occurred because the notes/documentation Towson located could no longer be found in the system. But she assured me that they would continue working with the two dealerships to get to the bottom of what had occurred and she would get it covered. It took most of the summer, many calls from the assigned representative stating she was still trying to reach the various parties involved; very confusing as I have never had trouble reaching a service member or manager- and each time made me reiterate the issue, history, and assure that no collision had taken place. Ultimately I was informed Hyundai had determined the damage is not covered under warranty because of what they char

Adaptive cruise control controls the speed limit based on Maps or actual signs was making an error! I was in a 60 MPH area when the system would read the route number sign and mistake it for speed limit. This happened both on state route 80, and state route 70, the car would accelerate up to that speed indicated by the route sign for a few seconds and then realize somehow it was in error and drop down to legal speed. Its a surprise for the driver.

With 2100 miles on the Hyundai Palasade Calligraphy Hybrid, we were driving on a well established dirt and gravel road when we experienced a loud pop or bang. We saw nothing in the road ahead in the form of a pot hole or protruding rock, etc. A minute later, a low tire pressure warning light came on. The tire went flat. Upon close inspection there was a cut like slit in the tire just below the bead line of the wheel rim. A look back on the road traveled, produced no clear obstruction that might have caused this. Our assessment of this is a sidewall blowout. This new vehicle comes with no spare tire. Only a pump and container of sealant. Installation of this failed to restore the tire for obvious reasons. This Pirelli 265 45R21 Scorpion MS tire is rare and not in stock anywhere. We had to tow our vehicle 50 miles to a Hyundai dealer who told us we had to wait for them to order a tire. We have spent close to $400.00 in Expenses and still did not pay for a tire yet. Searching the web reveals similar problems with this tire. This has resulted in a negative customer experience with the vehicle and Hyundai alike.

Seats still don't work after recall fix on 2nd and 3rd row. Front seats also do not work when moving 2nd row seat front to back front seat moved instead. Power train engine issues been in hyundai service 3 times diff services depts and still not fixed have not been able to drive car since mar due to these issues. Engine light on 3 power train warning codes on. When pushing gas car hesitates and almost completely stops on freeway or on only 2 way highway making it very unsafe to drive. Loos of power to ac and lights due to this issue!

I am reporting a recurring safety issue with my 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy involving severe shaking, sputtering, loss of acceleration/power, stalling, and abnormal drivetrain behavior. The first incident occurred at just under 10,000 miles after driving for approximately one hour. While traveling at highway speeds, the vehicle began shaking severely and lost significant acceleration/power. After exiting the highway and stopping, the vehicle shut off. When restarted, it continued shaking and would not accelerate normally. No warning lights appeared. The dealership reported multiple stored fault codes, including transmission-related codes. The codes were reset and the vehicle was returned to me. The same condition later occurred again after extended driving. The vehicle shook severely and lost acceleration, again without warning lights. After being turned off for approximately five minutes and restarted, the symptoms temporarily disappeared. The vehicle has since undergone multiple repair attempts. Hyundai/dealership technicians replaced the flywheel. After that repair, the vehicle developed new shaking/stuttering during startup and shutdown. The vehicle was returned again and a motor mount was repaired/replaced. Two days after receiving the vehicle back from the latest repair, it is now exhibiting another serious drivability issue and appears to remain in first gear or otherwise fails to shift normally. I have video of the severe shaking. A dealership technician also ad

On August 30, 2026, I was driving my 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy and was stopped in a fast-food drive-through line for approximately 15 minutes. Auto Hold was engaged, and for most of that time I also had my foot on the brake. Immediately before the incident, I believed the truck in front of me was finally beginning to move, so I recall beginning to release my foot from the brake. Without any intentional accelerator input from me, the engine suddenly revved very loudly, as though the accelerator had been fully depressed, and the vehicle rapidly accelerated forward. I did not press the accelerator pedal. The truck was approximately 5 to 10 feet in front of me. I was unable to stop the vehicle before striking the rear of the truck with significant force. The truck’s trailer hitch penetrated the front grille/radiator area and became lodged in my vehicle. A tow truck had to separate the vehicles, and coolant was pouring onto the pavement. There were no warning lights, hybrid-system warnings, A/C issues, or other noticeable abnormalities before the sudden acceleration. The vehicle is currently locked at a collision center, and I have possession of the key. I have requested that it be preserved without repair, teardown, diagnostic clearing, or alteration until relevant electronic and video data can be retrieved. The vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder and Hyundai’s factory-integrated Dash Cam system. I am reporting this as a suspected sudden unintended acce

My 2026 Hyundai Palisade (Calligraphy trim) received the software remedy associated with Hyundai Safety Recall 296 / NHTSA Recall 26V160. Prior to the recall update, the powered second- and third-row seat-folding switches operated with one press, after which the seat completed its movement automatically. Following the recall software update, Hyundai changed the controls so that the operator must continuously hold the switch for the entire duration of seat movement, and releasing the switch immediately stops the seat. I understand that the recall was intended to address occupant/object detection associated with powered seat movement. However, I am concerned that Hyundai's remedy eliminates significant functionality rather than correcting the underlying detection system while preserving the vehicle's original power-seat operation. I purchased the vehicle with one-touch power-folding seats as an advertised feature. The recall remedy materially alters that functionality and also disables or restricts other powered-seat functions that were present when the vehicle was sold. I request that NHTSA review whether Hyundai's remedy for Recall 26V160 is an adequate and appropriate permanent remedy, and whether Hyundai should instead be required to develop a corrected seat-control system that safely detects occupants and obstructions while restoring the vehicle's original one-touch power-folding functionality.

The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle merged into the right lane independently, causing the contact to manually return the vehicle to the correct lane. No warning light was illuminated. Neither the dealer nor an independent mechanic was contacted or notified of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,917.

I have a 2026 Hyundai palisade- at the time of the incident, the car has 7,500 or so miles. I had a slow leak in one of the tires and took it to a tire repair shop- he pointed that not one, but all four tires had sidewalk bubbles in them, with some tires having more than one bubble. He said it was highly unusual for that to occur and suggested reaching out to Pirelli and/or the dealer for warranty service on them. I reached out to Pirelli and they advised me to take it to the dealer. The dealer claimed it was a Pirelli issue and I’d need to contact them directly and were unable to service the tires. The person at the dealer also said it was unusual and mentioned that others with the same tires had the same issue. I’m let scrambling my head trying to figure all this out.

The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode and decelerated to 20 MPH. After parking and restarting the vehicle, the failure was self-corrected, and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.

When using "Lane Keeping Assistance" the vehicle pulls slightly to the right and continues correcting itself creating a snake like pattern. This is unsettling and other vehicles that I own do not have this pattern including the same model from previous years. This feature is design for safety, however when "Lane Keeping Assistance" in operation the pulling to the right looks like you are going into the other lane then correct's itself and repeats not giving the feel of safety. I have taken it do the dealer and file a report to hyundai both parties had stated they cannot do anything without an error code. I have seen other customers complain about this issue with my make/model. Please help correct this issue. Thank you

Vehicle was purchased new in June 2026. Within approximately six weeks of ownership, I am on my third windshield. Two windshields have fractured after minor impacts from small pebbles or road debris. Incident 1 occurred on or about June 11, 2026. The impact was not audible and was not noticed at the time it occurred. The damage was discovered later as a spider crack approximately the size of a coin, originating from a single point of impact. The crack subsequently propagated well beyond the initial impact point. The windshield was replaced with OEM glass. Incident 2 occurred on July 21, 2026. Light road debris struck the windshield during normal driving, again producing an initial spider crack roughly the size of a coin at the point of impact. This crack likewise spread beyond the initial damage. The windshield again requires replacement. In both cases the initiating impact was minor - in the first instance, not forceful enough to be heard from inside the vehicle - yet each produced a spider fracture that propagated rather than remaining localized. Two windshield failures from low-energy debris strikes in six weeks is not consistent with normal glass performance. The windshield is a structural component of the vehicle and serves as the mounting point for the forward-facing ADAS camera. Glass that fractures and propagates this readily from routine road debris presents an unreasonable safety risk: it obstructs the driver's forward view, compromises occupant retention in a rollo

My car is misfiring. It WILL NOT accelerate as it should. It is like bogging down unable to accelerate when it needs to. It’s struggling. Hyundai is aware of the issue and making owners drive regardless while they “wait for a fix”. It’s extremely dangerous. I’ve almost been hit several times trying to merge onto a highway because it will not accelerate. I’ve had total loss of power one time, putting me and my infant in extreme danger. This has been happening since APRIL.

I am reporting multiple recurring safety concerns with my 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Loss of acceleration: Under heavy throttle, the engine revs to approximately 5,000 RPM but the vehicle does not accelerate as expected. This has occurred repeatedly and appears more likely after the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature. During one incident on the highway, I needed to accelerate quickly to avoid surrounding traffic, but the vehicle did not respond as expected, creating a potential safety risk. An authorized Hyundai dealership inspected the vehicle and reset the transmission adaptive values, but the condition remains. Lane Keeping Assistance: The Lane Keeping Assistance system consistently positions the vehicle toward the left side of the lane instead of properly centering it. The issue has been reported to the dealer, but the condition remains unresolved. Power second-row seat: The power second-row captain’s chair can continue moving while folding, creating a hand-crush hazard if a person’s hand is in the path of the seat. It also interferes with proper third-row seat operation. This issue has been reported to the dealer and remains unresolved. These issues have been reported to Hyundai and remain unresolved after dealer inspections. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I have documentation and video evidence of the acceleration concern.

Stopped at the gas pump and filled up. When I went to leave all dash lights were lit up and car wouldn’t move. Brakes were locked. I tried restarting and restarting. Brakes would lock up when I tried to move, either direction. I finally gases it enough that it screeched the tires to move it from in front of the gas pump.

I just purchased a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Limited Edition Sunday, June 28,2026 from Tomball Hyundai. Today, July 3, 2026 I was PARKED in a parking lot not near anyone, sitting in my running vehicle & heard a crackling noise. I looked back to see my rear window shattering but still in tact, but just crackling all the way across the entire window. Then while still parked, I started seeing parts of the rear window fall out and on the ground and into the car. I called my sales manager at the dealership and he told me to take a photo and drive straight to the dealership. Glass was falling out and into vehicle as I drove. I arrived and was told the service manager would have to call someone to see if they are going to pay for it or not. I haven’t even had the car for a week. I was parked, and it just shattered. Not moving, nothing hit it or was even nearby. I feel this is a defect and have seen numerous reports online of the same thing happening to others. I researched online to see this was a very common issue/defect in 21-25 models, along with 2026 models.

The wireless charging spot is overheating and causing phones to be overheated as well. I had to turn off the wireless charging pad due to it being extremely hot to touch and causing my phone to also be extremely hot to touch. Concerned for device damage as well as a fire risk for the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that on five occasions, while stopped at a light with the Auto START/STOP system activated, the vehicle inadvertently turned off and shifted into park(P) independently. The contact stated that there was an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, and the brake pedal was firm; several attempts were needed to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that on one occasion, while stopped, the Auto START/STOP system failed to activate and the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended; however, the engine was revving unexpectedly. There was a loud clunking sound, and the vehicle jerked and then accelerated as needed. The vehicle was taken to two dealers during the failures; however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle remained with the second dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.

Front windshield cracked driving in the rain. A very small pin size nick was at the top of windshield 1" away from the edge. Crack was instant in length of 13" plus. Vehicle was less then 1 week old.

We are currently on a road trip. Fortunately we were in a 55mph zone and not going faster. While driving on the highway, the hood released from the latch and popped open. Fortunately the secondary latch caught it and we were able to pull over safely. I can’t imagine if we were going faster if the secondary latch would’ve withheld it. Very scary incident

It appears there is an ongoing issue with the Driver's Assistance. More specifically with automatic braking regarding forward collision. On 4 separate occasions, the vehicle has gone haywire with several alarms and icons going off at once and then sudden braking in the middle of the road before I have even realized what is going on. The issue is the car decided it was time to slam on the brakes right in the middle of the road while I was driving so it was very jarring. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership once and they kept it for 2 days to inspect the problem and could "not reproduce the problem". So they returned the vehicle to me. However, the issue occurred 3 more times after they returned it to me within 3 wks. So, I am dropping it off again for them to keep until they locate the problem now that I believe I have narrowed it down to the Driver's Assistance and forward collision issue. When I disable the driver's assistance/forward collision toggle, there "appears" to solve the issue. I have not had the same problem when that specific toggle is off as of yet. There have been no inspections from a manufacturer rep, police or insurance rep. There were a ton of warning lamps at one time just prior to the automatic braking, some regarding power train, battery, and several others. I have photos.

Safety-Critical Shifter System Malfunction - I am experiencing a recurring and serious shift system defect with my 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy. The issue first occurred within the first 500 miles of ownership, shortly after purchasing the vehicle new. At that time, the vehicle required diagnosis and repair by the dealership and remained out of service for nearly one month. Despite that repair, the same or a very similar issue has now returned. The vehicle displays a "Shifter System Malfunction – Service Immediately" warning and does not allow me to change gears while the vehicle is running. The gear selector becomes unresponsive, and the only way to restore functionality is to shut the vehicle off and restart it. After restarting, the vehicle often engages with a loud thud/clunk and significant vibration that can be felt throughout the vehicle. This creates serious concerns about the safety, reliability, and overall integrity of the drivetrain and shift-by-wire system.

I am submitting this regarding the remedy implemented under NHTSA Recall 26V-160 (Hyundai Palisade, second/third-row power seat obstruction detection defect). I support the intent of this recall — the underlying defect was serious and the software update appropriately targets improved occupant/object detection. However, I'm concerned about the adequacy and scope of the remedy as applied to the Limited trim specifically. As implemented, the remedy removes the ability to control power-folding seats via the vehicle's infotainment touchscreen entirely, converts seat-fold buttons to press-and-hold operation, and requires the liftgate to be open during folding. On the Limited trim, the third row is the only row equipped with power-folding seats (the second row has no electric folding). As a result, this remedy has eliminated the entire infotainment-based remote-fold control pathway for Limited owners, with no equivalent functionality remaining anywhere in the vehicle. My concern is whether the remedy, by removing an entire control pathway rather than improving its safety through better sensor/detection logic alone, goes beyond what is necessary to address the defect, and whether this scope of functionality removal was adequately disclosed to owners as part of the recall notice. I'd like this recorded as feedback on the remedy's scope and impact on equipped functionality for the Limited trim, separate from the original safety defect itself.

I was a making a left hand turn at a stoplight. The light turned yellow, and as I was in the intersection, I pressed the gas pedal to complete the turn. The pedal went to the floor, but the car did not accelerate. It barely rolled forward. I had to slam on the brake so I would not roll into the intersection, and turn. I reeased the pedal, and tried again, and the vehicle did accelerate. This failure has happened 4 times to me. I have also had the experience with making a right-hand turn from a stop. Again, when depressing the accelerator, the engine did not go. In one case it was delayed, then sped up very quickly. I has been to the dealer twice, once for 2 days, and once for 9 days. They have been unable to find anything wrong. I was able to demonstrate the problem with a technician in the vehicle, but he really could not see me depressing the gas, so was really unable to experience that I had a problem, even though I verbally mentioned the incident. The car at the time had less than 500 miles on it. To summarize. I have experienced left-hand turn problems 4 times, and right hand problems twice., or a total of 6 times.

2026 Hyundai Palisade SEL 8P AWD. Brake pedal sinks to floor when depressed while vehicle is in motion, causing vehicle to glide before stopping. Defect first noticed June 1, 2026 and confirmed June 2, 2026 at approximately 530 miles during a 34-mile round trip with consistent repeated occurrence at both low and moderate speeds. Vehicle returned to dealership for diagnosis. Dealership declared unable to duplicate. No diagnostic trouble codes found. Hyundai engineering was consulted by dealership. This is a second serious defect on this vehicle — a full transmission assembly replacement was performed under warranty in May 2026 within 4 days of delivery and approximately 259 miles of personal use. Hyundai Motor America lemon law re-evaluation currently in progress.

We lease a 2026 Palisade with only 4k miles. Several weeks ago I was going through a toll plaza, car would not accelerate after slowing down, as if it was in neutral. All of a sudden it kicked into gear and car lunged forward. 10 min later at a traffic light car failed to accelerate after a complete stop. Press the accelerator sluggish response, then kicked back into gear. Very Scary. I pulled over and notified the dealer. Then set an appoint. Dealer did a diagnostic, found no issues, could not replicate problem on test drive . Everything was fine a few weeks. My son took the car. Had the same exact issue with vehicle not accelerating. Then kicked into gear really hard and vibrating. This was scary for him because he was in a parking lot. Luckily there was no accident as a result. However, this time an error code (check engine light) came on and the Hyundai app showed a DTC CODE- P001600 (powertrain / engine). Car was immediately taken to dealer on May 28th 2026. It is now Jun 11th. Still no time frame for fix. The THINK it a software issue and Hyundai is still "working" on a solution.

I was driving my 2026 Hyundai Palisade on a busy road when the vehicle suddenly stopped without warning. A message appeared on the dashboard stating that the engine was off. I did not turn off the vehicle. This created a dangerous situation in traffic.

While driving on my 2026 Palisade Calligraphy over last 6 months I lost all throttle/ gas response to engine on 12 separate occasions.The 3rd incident nearly resulted in serious crash in 55mph traffic. Went to dealer next day on 11/15 ref# 41788829 service found no codes, reset system and recommended a flight recorder to help diagnose. Filed with NHTSA on 12/3 after next incident ref # 11702738. Requested flight recorder multiple times with dealer and Hyundai case manager and after multiple visits, diagnostic drives and component replacement on 1/20 and 2/23 the dead throttle continued. On 4/7 I was finally issued recorder and captured 3 incidents of the problem that could not exist within 2 days. Dealer acknowledged problem and says they can not fix without help from Hyundai engineers. Hyundai will not buy back and tell me to go back to dealer for resolution. Dealer claims to have submitted all relevant info to Hyundai but will not produce requested paperwork to me for most of visits (illegal? ). I have been assigned 3 separate case managers who try to assign new case #42539227 and separate it from initial ref # 41788829 while denying buyback with documentation they refuse to share. I am driving an unsafe and dangerous suv with 3 clearly documented Hyundai flight recorder incidents and acknowledged safety issue.

Recently purchased this Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy from Pohanka Hyundai in Maryland. At the time I asked whether the vehicle had the seat recall issue fixed . Was assured by the sales agent it had. Now when I activate the seat memory button, the driver's seat collapses and does not recognize a person is sitting there. I've called Pohanka Hyundai multiple times with an assurance of a call back on the issue and they just ignore my call and never return a call

Component: the second-row power seat and its control system, including the pinch-protection function, on a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid. The seat and vehicle are available for inspection on request. After the recall remedy (software update) for NHTSA Recall 296 (power seats) was applied, the second-row power seat self-actuates a rearward over-extension. When its pinch protection detects a car seat installed in the second row, the seat moves rearward on its own, further into the third row, and cannot be stopped once it starts. This sharply reduces third-row legroom and can squeeze or harm a third-row occupant. Safety risk: On April 21, 2026, while an adult operated the second-row seat to make enough room to reach into the seat, the seat — instead of stopping once the buttons were released — kept moving rearward on its own, past its original position and into the third-row foot and leg space, compressing and hurting the child's legs and feet. The movement was automatic, gave no warning, and could not be halted, creating a crushing and pinching hazard to any person or object behind the seat. Reproduced and inspected: A franchised Hyundai dealer inspected the vehicle and reproduced this behavior per Hyundai's Safety Team's request. Per the official repair order, the seat "over-extends approximately 15 degrees further into the third row," "cannot be stopped from moving to the extended position," and creates a smaller third-row area that "could potentially harm or squeeze an occupa

2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid, VIN: [XXX]. Two original equipment Pirelli Scorpion MS 265/45 R21 108V tires developed sidewall bulges within 4,582 miles of normal road use, all within 5 days of each other. No off-road driving. No significant impacts. Vehicle was brand new. Failures: front left, rear left, and both right side tires within the same week (blew up as a parked to the curb on the low speed-and where dismissed at the Americas tire as an impact damage) Two tires submitted for Pirelli warranty inspection: Tire 1: Beltran Tires, Modesto CA. Pirelli claim #XXX. Denied via customer service email only — no technical report, no inspector name, no methodology provided. Conclusion: "ply breakage due to impact." Tire 2: America's Tire, Seaside CA. Delivered to Pirelli facility McDonough GA, Feb 26 2025, UPS #[XXX]. No determination issued to date. Dealer refused tire submission for weeks. Corporate escalation and Pirelli technical intervention required before pickup occurred. Out of pocket costs: $420 (Beltran, mileage confirmed 4,582) and $2,387.57 (4x Michelin replacement, America's Tire order #XXX). Total loss: $2,807.57. Also my vehicle had to be towed and I had to pay out of pocket for that as well. Four sidewall failures under 5,000 miles on a new vehicle is a potential manufacturing defect and highway safety risk. Pirelli's denial lacks technical documentation. Requesting NHTSA investigate Pirelli Scorpion MS OE tires on 2026 Hyundai Palisade as possible def

Five days after I bought my vehicle, I was driving down the freeway that was very empty. A small rock hit my windshield, I think… I never saw anything. It caused an explosion on the right side of my windshield and glass shattered inside the vehicle. I made a claim with my insurance and pay the $500 deductible and got the windshield replaced. Two days after I replaced the windshield, a small something hit my windshield and made a tiny rock chip. A few days later, I went to get the rock chip repaired, and as soon as the technician put the device and started to fill the rock chip, the wind shield cracked halfway across. I have been driving for almost 40 years and I have replaced one windshield and repaired maybe three rock chips. To have had a car for five weeks (two of which I couldn't drive because the windshield "exploded" crack was too deep), and already have paid TWO $500 deductibles and made two windshield claims is absolutely unbelievable. There has to be a flaw in the glass. The auto glass professionals said that they have replaced three windshields on Palisades in the past week.
