Fuel/propulsion system
2 reports
“Check hybrid System warning comes on during initial start of the day. First service visit for problem had a bad water pump replaced on 1 of the electric motors at ~400 miles. Dealership said this resolved the problem, but the same problem is now recurring at 780 miles. Don't know how safe it is to drive vehicle.”
Electrical system
2 reports
“My new 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid experienced a hybrid-system/power-supply malfunction with fewer than 500 miles. The Hyundai dealer diagnosed DTC P0C381C on August 28, 2026 and has retained the vehicle since that date. Hyundai Motor America has issued Limited Coverage Campaign LA39, titled “HPCU Warning Light On – HPCU Software Update – DTC P0C381C.” However, Hyundai's communication states that LA39 is currently for impacted dealer-stock vehicles only. It states that already-retail vehicles must wait for a separate campaign that is “pending review/approval” and that those customers should be placed in alternative transportation. I am concerned that Hyundai is presently correcting affected unsold inventory while vehicles already sold to consumers that actually experience P0C381C remain unrepaired pending approval of a separate retail campaign.”
Engine
1 report
