Service brakes

216 reports10 crashes
“I am reporting a serious potential braking-system safety defect involving my 2024 Hyundai Palisade Night AWD. I experienced steering-wheel vibration when braking and an incident in which the brakes were extremely difficult to apply effectively, leaving me unable to stop in an emergency as needed. This created a serious risk of a collision and injury to me, my passengers, and others on the road. I am concerned that the vehicle’s braking system may not perform reliably when rapid or emergency stopping is required. My vehicle was serviced at Morrie’s 394 Hyundai in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Following an extended period of recall-related service beginning March 20, 2026, the vehicle was marked ready on July 3, 2026, under Repair Order #[XXX]. I subsequently brought the vehicle back on July 6, 2026, under Repair Order #[XXX], reporting rattling and grinding associated with driving and braking. The dealership documented resurfacing all four brake rotors. I am concerned that the steering-wheel vibration and serious difficulty stopping may indicate a braking problem that requires further investigation. The July service documentation references a “Vehicle Health Report…”

Seat belts

54 reports1 related recall
“A rear seatbelt recall notification was made in September of 2025. I made multiple follow up phone calls with Hyundai in regards to this recall as I have a child that sits in the rear seat. Every time I called, I was informed the part(s) were not in. It has now been over a year with no remedy in sight. It does not seem like there is any desire to fix this recall and it will remain outstanding for the entirety of the vehicle.”

Forward collision avoidance

54 reports4 crashes
“The vehicle brakes malfunctioned while driving over bumpy pavement in a parking lot. There was a loss of ability to stop the vehicle, the breaks seemed locked or ineffective. This cause me to come close to rear ending the vehicle in front of me. My foot was pushed FIRMLY on the break and the vehicle seemed to continue to lurch forward. The collision warning alarm was sounding and the brake pedal was vibrating.”

Air bags

22 reports3 crashes2 related recalls
“The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number 26V034000 (Air Bags) and 25V607000 (Seat Belts). The vehicle was repaired with film. The other recall parts were on back order. Following the repair, the contact became aware that the view through the third-row windows were distorted, and it was difficult to see clearly. The dealer informed the contact that the issue was self-corrected. The passenger became nauseated due to the distortion. The manufacturer was contacted from the website and by phone and referred the contact back to the dealer for assistance. The manufacturer opened a claim and stated that the film could be removed or reapplied. The dealer advised the contact that the film could be removed. The failure mileage was approximately 25,500.”

Electrical system

16 reports3 fires
“I came to a complete stop at the stop sign and waited for several vehicles to pass on the street I needed to turn onto. I proceed to turn right but the vehicle stalled mid turn. The motor rev'd as I pressed the gas and made weird noises like the truck was stuck in neutral although it was in drive. The tires would not spin to propel me forward. I was stuck in the middle of the street. I shut the truck down for about a minute while flagging others to go around me then started the truck up again. The issue cleared. This has happened several times. Other times, the dashboard display completely blacked out and the drivemode button (eco vs sport vs comfort) changed on it's own and I was not able to manually change settings or get the dashboard to reappear or get the truck to move forward when placed in drive gear. I had to power cycle the truck to get it to work. Very unsafe to be stranded in the road. Dealership reported no trouble found, issue cannot be replicated. I also have suspension issues and reported power loss while driving. Please investigate.”
