The contact stated that the dealer provided paperwork stating that the recall repair had been completed; however, the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair was not completed due to the part not being available. The contact stated that prior to receiving the recall notification, on a separate occasion, the gear shifter failed to function as intended.

| Mar 2026 | AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS | My vehicle has an open recall (26V034000) with no remedy available. Combined with another unresolved recall (25V607000), my vehicle has multiple outstanding safety issues with no resolution timeline. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS | I am the owner of a 2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium, purchased in April 2025, currently at approximately 19,000 miles. I am writing to formally report two open safety recalls on this vehicle for which no remedy is currently available: 1. THIRD-ROW SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG RECALL: Affecting approximately 568,576 Hyundai Palisade vehicles (model years 2020–2025). The third-row side curtain airbags may not deploy correctly during a rollover, failing to prevent passenger ejection. This defect is a documented violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 226. As of the date of this complaint, Hyundai has not developed a fix. Owner notification letters are expected in late March 2026. In the interim, owners have been advised to avoid using the third row. 2. SEAT BELT RECALL: A separate seat belt recall is also open on this vehicle. I ordered the parts for this repair months ago and am still waiting. No repair has been completed to date. As a result, I am driving a brand-new vehicle with two unresolved safety defects and no timeline for repair on either. Because I have children who regularly occupy the third row, I am being forced to either expose them to a known safety risk or stop using the vehicle as intended. I am formally requesting that NHTSA: - Investigate the urgency of Hyundai's timeline for developing a remedy - Review whether Hyundai's interim guidance to owners is adequate given the severity of the FMVSS 226 violation - Consider whether a 'do not use third row' advisory should be formally and officially issued to all affected owners I purchased this vehicle in good faith as a family SUV. The inability to safely use the third row renders it unfit for its intended purpose. I urge NHTSA to apply pressure on Hyundai to expedite a remedy.

The shocks were on back order, causing a delay in the repair. The dealer also confirmed that parts for the recall repairs were not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue.

| Mar 2026 | SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Brandon Hyundai sold me this vehicle with an active stop sale. On February 20, 2026, I purchased a 2025 Hyundai Palisade from the dealership. After taking delivery of the vehicle, I discovered that the VIN associated with the vehicle was subject to an active manufacturer stop-sale related to a safety recall for which no remedy was available at the time of delivery. This critical information was not disclosed to me during the sales process and was not reflected in any documentation provided at closing, including the buyer’s order or “We Owe” form. As a consumer, I relied on the dealership to comply with applicable safety requirements and to be transparent about the condition and status of the vehicle being sold. Upon discovering the stop-sale status, I returned to the dealership the very next day, on Saturday February 21, 2026, to address the issue. During that visit, I spoke with both the Sales Manager and the Finance Manager. At that time, I was told that there was nothing that could be done because I had already signed the contract and “the ink was dry.” The seriousness of the concern I raised was initially dismissed. As I am sure you know, the contract should be void when selling a vehicle in violation of the law. Both of these managers promised me that the vehicle had undergone a safety check prior to delivery, which is not true, as later discussed. It was not until the following Monday morning, February 23, 2026, after escalating the issue again and speaking with another manager, that the dealership agreed to reverse the transaction. On that second attempt, the deal was unwound and my trade-in vehicle and down payment were returned to me. While I acknowledge that the dealership ultimately corrected the situation, the fact remains that the vehicle should never have been delivered to a consumer while under an active stop-sale condition. The initial refusal to address the issue when it was first raised with management was deeply concerning. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2026 | SEAT BELTS | On December 15, 2025 I brought my vehicle in to McDonald Hyundai in Highlands Ranch, CO for a recall and was told the seatbelt parts would need to be ordered for Hyundai recall 283. I was told the seatbelt recall parts would take 2 weeks to arrive. January 15 I was notified by the dealership that the parts were in stock and ready to schedule. However, when I attempted to schedule the service, I was told the parts for my vehicle had been given to another customer. I was also told all seatbelt parts are now backordered with “no ETA” and that I must personally call every two weeks to check on the inventory status of recall parts in the service department at McDonald Hyundai. I asked the service advisor (Bo) for the service manager’s contact information on 3 different occasions and he refused to provide the service manager’s contact information every single time. I am still driving with my children daily under an active seatbelt recall more than 6 weeks after I was told my recall parts were ready to install. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2026 | SEAT BELTS,SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I am reporting Hyundai Motor America’s failure to remedy two active safety recalls on my 2025 Hyundai Palisade (VIN: [XXX] ) within a reasonable timeframe, despite multiple attempts to have the vehicle repaired. My vehicle has two open safety recalls involving critical occupant protection systems, including seat belt buckle assemblies that may fail to latch properly and a third-row occupant safety defect that increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash or rollover. On October 23, 2025, I brought my vehicle to the Hyundai dealership specifically to have the recall defects repaired. At the time of drop-off, I clearly informed the dealership that the purpose of the visit was for recall repairs. However, the dealership labeled the visit as a “maintenance appointment” instead of properly documenting it as a recall repair visit. The recall defects were not repaired. I returned to the Hyundai dealership again on February 18, 2026, after being promised that the recall repairs would be completed. Once again, Hyundai failed to repair the safety defects, and the recalls remain unresolved. It is now February 20, 2026, more than four months since I first presented the vehicle for recall repair, and Hyundai has failed to remedy these critical safety defects or provide a clear timeline for repair. These defects involve essential safety systems, including seat belts and third-row occupant protection. I have four children who regularly occupy the rear seating areas, and I am deeply concerned about their safety. Hyundai’s failure to repair these safety recalls has placed my family at risk. Because Hyundai has failed to repair the vehicle within a reasonable timeframe, I am requesting NHTSA investigation and assistance. I am also requesting that Hyundai provide trade assistance, replacement, or buyback so that I can obtain a safe vehicle for my family, at no cost to me, due to Hyundai’s inability to remedy these safety defects.

| Feb 2026 | STRUCTURE | After 45 days of purchasing the SUV I notice the front grille was checking and flaking. Report it to the dealership and Hyundai. They said it was caused by "out influence". So they didn't cover it. After several attempts back and forth with dealership they finally agreed to cover the replacement front grille. This is an on going issue with these grilles. The new grille is starting to do the same thing. Many Hyundai palisade customers on the forums are talking about this issue! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving with the cruise control set to 72 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated, and the vehicle came to a stop. The accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. There was an abnormal red light illuminated, and an alarm was activated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,500. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,500 |
| Feb 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am reporting a serious safety issue involving my 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The vehicle has repeatedly produced white smoke during cold start and has experienced loss of engine power while driving. Despite multiple repair visits (six times) to an authorized Hyundai dealership, the dealer repeatedly stated that the condition could not be reproduced and no repairs were performed. I provided video evidence of the white smoke and described the symptoms in writing at each visit. Shortly after the most recent service visit(12/22/25), within approximately five days, the vehicle displayed an “Engine Power Limited” warning message and a malfunction indicator light (MIL). When this occurred, the vehicle’s power was significantly reduced, making it difficult to maintain speed and creating a potentially dangerous condition, especially during highway driving or merging into traffic. This issue poses a serious safety risk because sudden loss of engine power can increase the risk of collision. The problem appears to be intermittent but recurring, and it has not been properly diagnosed or corrected by the dealership despite repeated opportunities. The vehicle has not been repaired for this condition, and the defect remains unresolved. The condition may be available for inspection upon request, and diagnostic data such as warning messages and onboard fault codes should be present in the vehicle’s system. The failure began with white smoke during cold start and later escalated to engine power limitation and warning lights. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | SEAT BELTS | I am writing to formally report Hyundai’s failure to remedy Safety Recall 25V607 involving defective first and second-row seatbelts in our 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The recall was issued in September 2025 and stated no remedy was yet available but the vehicle remained safe if belts were checked after fastening. In December 2025, the front passenger seatbelt in our vehicle began unlatching while driving at highway speeds, even after confirming proper engagement as instructed by Hyundai. We have repeatedly contacted Hyundai of 110 (Farmingdale, NY) regarding remedy availability. A remedy became available in early December, and we were put on the dealership's list to order parts from Hyundai directly on December 30, but the parts still continue to be on backorder. We have minor children who must now rely on seatbelt-based car seat installation due to weight limits on LATCH. This is our only vehicle and it is virtually unusable at this point because I cannot in good conscience put my child in a car seat secured by a defective seatbelt. Given the documented malfunction of the seatbelt system, we are extremely concerned about the continued safety of this vehicle. Hyundai has not offered: - A loaner vehicle - A repurchase - A timeline for remedy We respectfully request investigation into Hyundai’s delay in remedying this federally mandated safety recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 816. | Crash: No Fire: No | 816 |
