2022 Hyundai Palisade Problems

This vehicle has had an open recall for seat belts for over a year. We have had issues with the seat belts and stated that to our local hyundai shop in Farmington, NM multiple times. Even when the car has been in for other things. The only thing they can tell us is that the seatbelts are on backorder and they do not know when they will be in. Then they give us a print out stating the vehicle has an open recall. Like really, we know that you can't seem to fix it. My daughter who should still be in a booster seat is unable to use a booster due to the seat belts coming undone sometimes when buckling them if we use a booster. I feel like with a safety recall like this, if you can't get the seat belts in the cars that are already on the road, mabe the manufacturer does not need to be producing new cars as they too require seat belts. I put in the most recent date we were told the belts were on order in the date occurred.

The sunroof spontaneously broke while driving on the interstate at an estimated speed of 70 mph. There was no severe weather issues or traffic issues. Glass did make it into the car, in both the drivers and passenger seat. Unsure if it made it to the back seat where a [XXX] baby was in a car seat. Called McCarthy Hyundai and they told us to take it somewhere else that it was not under warranty. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

We were driving down the road and heard a loud pop and then heard glass falling onto the sunroof sunshade. My sunroom exploded out of nowhere, nobody in front of me, no trees or structures above us. Just spontaneously shattered.

I was driving to work, at a rate of 75 mph (permitted speed limit). As I approached an intersection, I tapped the brakes to turn off the cruise control. It did not turn off. I then pressed the brake pedal and it went further down than normal. The vehicle did not appear to even try and slow down or brake. I tried again, standing on the brakes with both feet. At this point, I knew I would not be stopping, as the pedal continued to feel strange, and not catching for lack of better terms. I did my best to steer around two sign poles directly in my path. Unfortunately due to not being able to control speed, I did hit one. I then continued on for approximately and 1/8 of a mile before my car finally came to a stop in the middle of a dirt field. I do not know if this was a software or mechanical issue with the brakes. I only know they did not work when needed, under normal circumstances.

Labor Day weekend I was two hours away from home. Before leaving town my automatic collision breaking system decided to go off and start breaking. There was absolutely no one in front of me. The entire weekend about seven or eight times my vehicle put me in extreme danger going at all speeds putting myself in my Assistan danger of dying and flying through the windshield. When I got back to town and made an appointment at North Freeway, Hyundai in Spring they lied and claimed there was front and damage and that the bracket was loose. I have absolutely no front end damage I have included pictures for some reason if they don’t work your system is having issues. Their pictures they took are completely blown out and white and look like it needs an exorcism. I have clear photos of my vehicle there was absolutely no incident or damaged to have any issues with my vehicle . I have been an extreme danger and had to turn it off in order to drive home. I have made several attempts to contact the service manager and he cannot be bothered to contact me it is apparently above him and his Pay grade. I have contacted Hyundai personally and they are working on it on their end but overall it’s up to the dealership

Rear suspension has continued to have issues. First noticed after about 20,000 miles. A clunk and gurgling sound in rear. Took to local dealership and they didn’t do anything about it. Took again at 35,000 miles and was ignored again. 42,000 the dealership finally listened and replaced rear shock insulation, problem persisted but was a little more muted. 48,860 miles took it to another dealership and they replaced both rear shocks reporting them both as leaky rear shocks. Now at 70,000 all previous symptoms are back and louder than before.

Rear shocks failed at 71,000 miles, front shocks are now failing at 73,000 miles. Vehicle is not driven under harsh conditions and all recommended maintenance has been performed. Service advisor said “the Palisade is notorious for this”. Front rotors/brakes have been reported as in good conditions for months. Now, front rotors are suddenly so warped they need to be replaced immediately.

See attached document for complaint.

Suspension has been an issue since 10,000 miles. Rear shocks replaced at 58,000. 3,000 miles later the noise & bumpy ride have returned. Had to replace front brakes before 50,000 miles due to wear. Replaced all 4 tires due to extreme uneven wear at 45,000.

Hyundai has had an active recall involving seat belts for several months. I have attempted to have this repair to no avail. I started with my local dealership and was told the parts to make this repair are not available. I have filed a complaint with Hyundai of America and have a case manager who calls me every few weeks to says that the parts continue to be back ordered. My concern is that Hyundai is not dealing with this recall in good faith. I take my young grandchildren to school every morning and fear for their safety.

My wife was driving the vehicle to work this morning XXX around 730am on the [XXX] near [XXX] and the vehicle just cut off while driving at high speed. All the lights were activated on the dashboard. The steering wheel locked, the brakes stopped working, and the car would not accelerate. The vehicle died mid drive placing her in a dangerous life threatening predicament within this heavily trucked corridor. She was left to block traffic until help arrived. The vehicle was towed to the Hyundai dealership on Eucalyptus in Moreno Valley. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On April 17, 2026, while driving my 2022 Hyundai Palisade with approximately 167,000 miles, the vehicle suddenly lost engine power and was unable to maintain normal driving speed. The sudden loss of propulsion created a safety risk because the vehicle could no longer operate normally in traffic. I was able to move the vehicle out of traffic, but it would not restart. I also observed white smoke coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to Matt Bowers Hyundai Slidell, an authorized Hyundai dealership, where it remains and is available for inspection upon request. The dealership has inspected the vehicle and advised that the engine needs to be replaced. The exact internal component that failed and the final cause of the engine failure remain under review by Hyundai. I do not recall any warning lamps or messages before the sudden failure. The timing of any prior symptoms is UNKNOWN. The vehicle had been maintained through authorized Hyundai dealerships. On December 29, 2025, a Hyundai dealership replaced the oil filter housing because of an oil leak and performed a synthetic oil and oil filter change. On March 11, 2026, approximately five weeks before the failure, the dealership performed another oil and oil-filter change and a multipoint inspection. I am reporting this incident because the sudden loss of engine power while driving, the inability to restart, and the smoke from the engine compartment created a serious safety concern. The vehicle remains disabled and available for further inspection.

I own a 2022 Hyundai Palisade SEL. On XXX, while driving at the intersection of [XXX] and [XXX] in [XXX], the engine abruptly lost power, causing a sudden loss of engine power while the vehicle was in motion. This is my family's primary vehicle, and my wife and children were in the car during this incident. On XXX, I brought the vehicle to Courtesy Hyundai in [XXX]. The dealer found essentially no oil in the engine despite my keeping up with scheduled oil changes. The dealer replaced the oil and performed a software update described on the repair order as "9C9 C ECU SW UPDATE EMISSIONS IMPRV 26-01-010H," and I was instructed to return after 1,000 miles for an oil-level recheck. At that recheck, the dealer's service assistant reported the oil was full. On XXX, before a planned family road trip, I returned the vehicle for another check. The service department found the engine was two quarts low — this was only 4,000 miles after the oil service on April 10, 2026. The dealer stated they requested an oil consumption test but that Hyundai denied the request. Per the dealer's instructions, I returned again after another 1,000 miles, and the engine was one quart low. I am filing this complaint because I believe the excessive oil consumption and the resulting loss of engine power represent a safety defect that has not been remedied. An engine that abruptly loses power while driving creates a serious hazard, including loss of power steering and reduced braking assist, and I am concerned for my family's safety while this condition remains unresolved.

1/28/2026 Son was driving in a parking lot when all of a sudden, with no prior warning signs, the steering wheel locked up and he could not turn. Fortunately he was able to stop the vehicle; otherwise, it would have hit into other cars and he could have been injured. And fortunately this did not take place on a freeway. Hyundai service center located DCTS: C168806, C168886, and C240162. Replaced MPDS motor and ECU.

The vehicle has multiple unresolved safety recalls involving the seatbelt system and the airbag system (ejection mitigation/side curtain airbags). These are critical occupant protection systems that are designed to protect passengers during a crash. There is a risk that seatbelts may not properly restrain occupants and that airbags may not deploy or function correctly. I regularly transport 3–4 children in this vehicle and do not feel it is safe to operate under these conditions. These issues have been confirmed by the manufacturer through official safety recalls. The dealership has acknowledged the recalls; however, at least one recall (airbag/ejection mitigation) currently has no available remedy or timeline for repair. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealership, which confirmed the recalls. I have also been in communication with Hyundai Motor America regarding these issues. The seatbelt buckle does not consistently latch properly. When attempting to fasten the seatbelt, it repeatedly clicks without securing, and at times it does not lock at all, creating a risk that the occupant may not be properly restrained. I contacted both the dealership and Hyundai Motor America to request a safe alternative while waiting for repairs. The dealership offered a loaner vehicle that does not accommodate my family size. Hyundai has not approved rental reimbursement or provided a suitable alternative vehicle. As a result, I do not currently have access to a safe and practical transportation solution while these safety recalls remain unresolved.

The child safety lock fails frequently. It begins to click as if it is trying to lock the rears doors and then a warning on the dash says the child locks have failed. I have 2 children and this is a big problem.

When the child safety lock is engaged and the vehicle is in a driving or no-driving state, all the doors start to make a clicking noise. I am not sure if the child lock is engaged at this point, which creates safety issues, especially when driving with kids.

purchased a vehicle that has experienced ongoing mechanical and safety-related defects, including excessive oil consumption, seat belt malfunctions, and unresolved injector recall issues. Despite multiple repair attempts by the dealership, the problems continue to persist and have not been permanently corrected. These defects substantially affect the vehicle’s safety, reliability, value, and everyday use. The dealership and manufacturer represented the vehicle as reliable and safe; however, the repeated failures and unresolved recalls suggest otherwise. I believe it is misleading to continue selling or servicing vehicles with known defects that cannot be properly repaired. I have also learned that certain model years are no longer sold due to widespread malfunctioning issues that are costly for consumers to repair, yet I was not informed of these concerns at the time of purchase. I have made several attempts to resolve this matter by bringing the vehicle to the dealership for repairs, reporting the recurring issues, and complying with recommended service appointments. Despite these efforts, the defects remain unresolved, causing financial hardship, inconvenience, and concerns for my safety.

Hyundai's recent emissions software update (9C9) has disabled engine braking, creating a risk of brake fade on grades. The vehicle is no longer able to hold speed while descending grades, regardless of downshifting, forcing the brakes to be implemented to avoid excessive speed. This was never an issue prior to the software update and happened immediately after the software was installed. Instead of holding the vehicle with the engine (foot off the gas, and downshifting) the engine will continue to increase speed up to the point of approaching maximum RPMs. Further evidence of this behavior is that trying to use the engine braking no longer shows maximum MPG on the dash, indicating the software update is still feeding fuel to the engine with the foot off the gas.

Went to leave today, started my car and the dashboard lights (display) was off. Turned off car and restarted, still didn’t come back on after a restart.

My car randomly starts itself if I leave the keys in it. Tge auto lights stopped working one night while driving. Hasn't done it again since. While my son and I were driving it decided to shut off at 50 mph. There was no warning at all. It has not been inspected as it has nit happened again to be seen.
