| Apr 2026 | AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I am reporting a deliberate misrepresentation of vehicle status regarding Recall 292. On April 9, 2026, I brought my vehicle to Bud Clary Auburn Hyundai, for recall services, a safety concern with the 3rd row seat. I was told recall 292 had no remedy. I did not feel comfortable putting my kids back there knowing the airbags are recalled. It was officially grounded due to the side curtain airbag safety defect. The dealership has generated a Repair Order (RO) that falsely claims I departed in the vehicle on that same day. This is a material misrepresentation of fact. The vehicle was not released to me; it remained grounded and in the dealership's physical possession because it was deemed unsafe to drive. Evidence of Falsification: The dealership's claim that I left in the vehicle is physically impossible and contradicts their own actions. I have a written email from the Service Manager acknowledging that a dealership employee personally drove me home on April 9th because the vehicle was grounded. Motivation and Impact: This falsification appears to be a bad-faith attempt to manipulate the "days out of service" count required for eligibility under the Washington State Lemon Law. By documenting a departure that never occurred, the dealer is attempting to "stop the clock" on a safety-related grounding. Reporting inaccurate possession data on a vehicle under a federal safety recall compromises the integrity of the NHTSA’s recall tracking system. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | SEATS | The 3rd row power seats do not always recognize something or someone sitting there and will continue to fold down. After seeing the reports of a little girl passing away we wanted to test our 3rd row power seats. We placed a car seat in the 3rd row and it did recognize that and stopped folding. Next, I sat in the seat and my husband pushed the fold button and it kept trying to fold down on me until I pushed back with a good amount of force, a child would not be able to prevent the chair from stopping. Last, we placed a large stuffed animal and buckled it in and hit the power button and it completely folded down on top of it. I have reached out to my local dealership 4/16 and had a service advisor confirm my car to be impacted by this problem. They did offer a loaner car until there was a remedy in place. This issue does not currently show up on a list of recalls however which is very concerning. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | SEAT BELTS | 5-6 weeks ago my seatbelt began unbuckling itself up to six times in a 25 minute commute. I called Crain Hyundai of Bentonville to schedule the repair as this is a recall issue. I was told since I was experiencing issues I’d be bumped up the list and they were anticipating parts the following week. I called back 2 weeks later after not hearing from them and spoke to a different person who confirmed I was on a list and they just don’t have the parts. I then called the Hyundai customer service line 2 weeks ago and started a case to escalate the issue since the problem is a life safety issue and persistent. I was told by my case manager that after speaking with Crain Hyundai, I am not on a list and they will be escalating the matter. Crain Hyundai claims to have never heard of me, even though they confirmed my phone number back to me after the first call, and confirmed again after the second call. After requesting escalation through Hyundai to a supervisor because the case manager “could not disclose the internal issue” in which I am not on a list. I called Crain myself and the female advisor said there is no list, never was, and they apparently don’t plan to create one either. I asked about trading it in and she said it’s fine, they just can’t resell them and that they have a stock pile of Palisades for this reason. I asked how I can be sure they aren’t hoarding the seatbelts as they come in for their own stock pile to be able to resell them and she just claimed I’d need an appointment to get a seatbelt. I asked about making an appt and she said I could but they won’t call if the part is not in. She claims she has not seen seatbelts come in for months, even though this recall has been around for a long time and I’ve had one belt replaced in 2023 already. Hyundai is not taking this life safety recall seriously at all and I’m concerned there is an opportunity to use up all the new seatbelts on their stockpile rather than current drivers who need them. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The sunroof exploded while driving down the road. No other vehicles were within 100m of us. It sounded like a shotgun going off. Immediately pulled over to assess the damage and found almost no glass inside the car. The glass that was surrounding the break was protruding upward as if it had been building pressure from the inside of the car. Vehicle is available for inspection. I was swerving all over the road ducking my head thinking I had been shot at (combat vet). Im guessing the glass that wasn't found inside the car hit the road behind us but no other vehicles were around us at the time. If someone would have been behind us, they would have gotten peppered with broken glass. Dealer has not been notified yet but have seen many reports of the same thing happening to other people online. No one else has inspected the damage at this time. No warnings or messages were given prior to but im sure thats impossible. Temperature today has been between 30 and 40 degrees F. No major or rapid changes within the last few days. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | SEATS | About 1 year ago, my child was in a forward-facing car seat in the third row. The power seat button was activated, and the seat started to fold down with my child in a car seat. It did not stop. I was panicked but luckily was able to act quickly and get the seat to stop without him being seriously injured. This was reported to Hyundai at the time and Hyundai disregarded my claim. I am now seeing a recall for this functionality in the 2026 Palisade. This is a problem dating back to the 2021 Palisade as I experienced it over a year ago. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | AIR BAGS | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact works for a ridesharing company and stated that while driving at various speeds, the front driver’s and rear driver’s seat belts unlatch unexpectedly. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts). The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V034000 (Air Bags); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | ENGINE | At about 60,200 miles, my check engine light went off and I took it to the dealer. They told me all my fuel injectors were failing and I had to replace those to include the spark plugs. I understand there is a current class action lawsuit for similar Hyundai vehicles but does not include the Palisade. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | SEATS | In my 2022 Hyundai palisade calligraphy AWD, the third row power fold seats did not stop upon closing while testing it out on water bottles. It completely shut over two gallon jugs of distilled water, as well as a case of water. I believe there are more vehicles that this 3rd row power fold recall should branch over, and is not. So many children and animals are at risk and are not aware. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2026 | SEAT BELTS | When the recall for the seatbelts was first released I went to the dealership and was told my car was not affected which was incorrect. More recently they admitted it was included but it would be at least one year before I would see the repair completed. Now there’s another recall but Hyundai has no remedy! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | SEAT BELTS | I own a Hyundai vehicle with an active safety recall related to seatbelt buckle failure. The driver seatbelt buckle does not latch at all. The seatbelt tongue inserts but does not lock, making the seat unusable and unsafe to be driven. This issue matches the recall description for defective seatbelt buckle assemblies that may prevent proper latching. I have contacted multiple Hyundai dealerships and Hyundai corporate. I was informed that the recall remedy is not currently available due to lack of parts and will likely not be available for another 16 weeks. This recall has been open since approximately September 2025, and as of now (March 2026), no repair has been provided. Hyundai has not provided a loaner vehicle or guaranteed transportation solution despite the safety-critical nature of this issue. I was advised to contact dealerships individually to search for parts or loaners, which is not a viable solution. I am concerned about the extended delay in providing a remedy for a critical safety component and the lack of a consistent interim solution for affected owners. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | SEATS | I tested the 3rd row in my Palisade Calligraphy 2022 after a death of a little girl happened in a 2026 model. I placed a case of water bottles in the seat, where my children have ridden so many times before on trips. Watched the seat go down, not one time did the sensor trigger. The water bottles were crushed. This is terrifying findings. It means its not just Hyundais 2026 problems, this is much bigger of an issue. Please please please look into this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | SEATS | The third-row power seat fails to detect obstructions and continues closing under resistance, even when encountering large objects such as a fully loaded backpack. The seat does not stop or reverse, indicating a failure of the obstruction detection / anti-pinch safety feature. This creates a crushing hazard to passengers, including children. A fatal incident involving a similar seat malfunction in the same make and model has been reported. The problem persists whenever the seat is operated, and the malfunction has been documented on video. Although the vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership, Hyundai Consumer Affairs has been provided with video evidence. They have suggested further inspection, but no engineering-level evaluation of this safety issue has been completed. The seat continues to close under resistance and does not stop or reverse. The failure of the seat’s obstruction detection system creates a significant crushing hazard. Although no injury has occurred in my vehicle, the reported fatal incident involving the same defect shows the potential for serious injury or death. Video evidence demonstrating the seat malfunction is available. All correspondence with Hyundai Consumer Affairs documenting attempts to resolve this issue can be provided upon request. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Recall notice was received reporting 3rd row seating unsafe for occupants. There is no remedy at this time and I have 4 children under the age of 8, two of which ride in the 3rd row. Dealership has been reluctant to help with this matter and Hyundai corporate has delayed communication. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2026 | SEAT BELTS | I've been trying for 6 months to get my recalled seatbelts replaced as I complained about issues with the latching mechanism for years before the recall. The dealership does not have parts to repair the seatbelts and will not provide a reasonable time frame or loaner vehicle in the meantime. Please help. I am concerned for my kids' safety as they're coming unbuckled spontaneously as we drive down the road and both rear seats are recalled so there is no safe place for them to ride. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ENGINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked for nine hours unattended in the middle of the night; it caught fire. No warning lights were illuminated before the fire. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer two weeks prior for a recall repair and oil change. While her husband was extinguishing the fire, he sustained burns to his arms and face, but medical attention was not provided. Additionally, part of the home was burned. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. There was no police report filed, no air bag deployment, or crash. The vehicle was towed to a storage facility by the insurance company.

| Mar 2026 | SEATS | There have been 2 safety recalls and i find that unacceptable for my family. What are my options for a buy back? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | SEAT BELTS | Within months of purchase, I reported to James Wood Hyundai in Decatur that my children were repeatedly becoming unbuckled in the rear bucket seats. I was told the seatbelts were fine yet I continued raising this concern at multiple service visits because the issue persisted. This was an ongoing safety problem not an isolated complaint. Years later, Hyundai issued a recall for this exact defect. I promptly contacted the nearest dealership to schedule repairs and explained that this concern has been documented since shortly after purchase. I was informed repairs would be delayed several weeks because Enterprise fleet vehicles were being prioritized and was told I am the “only person” experiencing this issue a statement that conflicts with a formal safety recall. Enterprise cannot legally rent vehicles with open safety recalls due to safety concerns, yet I am expected to transport my children in a vehicle with known defective rear seatbelts. Now there is another recall regarding passenger safety in the third row with no remedy so my children have no safe seat to use in my car. When I asked who’s responsible if my kids are injured in the second or third row of my car they will not respond. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while in a parking lot, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle inadvertently accelerated with no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while attempting to lightly engage the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly, causing the contact to collide with another vehicle. The two vehicle in front where crashd into and had cosmetic damage. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was required. The air bags did not deploy during the incident. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 30,200. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | 30,200 |
| Mar 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | While driving at normal speed, my 2022 Hyundai Palisade suddenly lost power without warning. Multiple warning icons appeared on the dashboard at the same time. The vehicle immediately slowed down and became unsafe to operate. After pulling over, the vehicle would not restart and had to be towed. This created a dangerous situation on the roadway. I am reporting this because I wonder if other owners may have experienced similar sudden power-loss events with this model year. It was fortunate that I was on a secondary road and not on the highway when this happened because it could have resulted in fatalities. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
