Seat belts
72 reports1 related recall
“The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the seat belt buckles in the second- and third-row seats failed to latch properly. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available.”
Engine
51 reports1 fire
“This is a known issue that should be a recall. The radiator on models made between 2019-2022 have poorly made radiators that break, there is a TSB and it lists it online as an "extremely common" issue but there isn't a recall or a warranty extension.”
Visibility/wiper
35 reports1 related recall
“The driver-side windshield wiper arm/attachment system malfunctioned. This is the same component area addressed by Hyundai Safety Recall 243 (NHTSA Recall 23V-180). The dealership documented that the driver-side “wiper arm nut backed off causing wiper arm to come off car.” Photographs also show damage/wear to the internal splined mounting area of the wiper arm. The dealership tightened the retaining hardware and returned the existing wiper arm to service rather than replacing the arm. The vehicle and currently installed wiper arm are available for inspection upon request. I also have photographs documenting the condition before and after the dealership service. The driver-side windshield wiper stopped functioning, leaving the driver without a functioning wiper to maintain visibility through the windshield. Had this occurred during rain, snow, or other reduced-visibility conditions, I could have experienced a sudden loss of adequate forward visibility while driving. I am concerned about recurrence because the dealership documented that the retaining nut had backed off, there is visible damage to the wiper arm's splined mounting area, and the existing arm was…”
Electrical system
33 reports1 crash1 fire1 related recall
“Was a stop waiting for a break in traffic to make a right turn. Once there was a break in traffic, I attempted to turn the steering wheel while easing out of the corner but the wheel completely locked up and I was unable to make the turn. Thankfully, there was enough of a break in traffic (across all four lanes) that I could navigate into the parking garage across the street. There I was able to shut off the vehicle and restart it again and regain steering capabilities.”
Suspension
19 reports1 crash
“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.”
Visibility
19 reports
“The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, he heard an abnormal popping sound and the sunroof exploded simultaneously. The contact stated that pieces of the sunroof glass fell the on roadway and inside the vehicle. The contact sustained a cut on his leg but did not seek medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who determined that a stone had hit the sunroof; however, the contact stated that there was no external cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.”
