| Apr 2025 | STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES | When traveling slowly and braking, if you hit a bump the car steering begins to shake wildly that makes you feel you will lose control. You have to bump the brakes to make it stop. Seems like the anti lock brakes kick in when it shouldn’t and because it is the front tires make the car violently shake. Happens intermittently and difficult to reproduce at will. Has happened numerous times. Brought to dealership and because it can’t be reproduced at will they will not investigate the issue. Seems to be only a matter of time this will cause an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES | On three separate occasions while driving in moderate stop-and-go traffic, I experienced an intermittent issue with my braking system. I was unable to fully depress the brake pedal. In some instances, the pedal felt like it was grinding as I pressed it down. The grinding sound was similar to what you might hear when there’s surface rust on the brakes in the morning, but it was coming from the brake pedal. I had been driving for a while and it hadn’t rained in days. I also felt feedback in the pedal during these instances, even though the issue did not appear to be related to the brake pads or rotors. This reduced my ability to brake effectively, and although I have not been involved in a crash, the safety of myself and those around me on the road was potentially in jeapordy. The issue is sporadic and does not trigger any dashboard warning lights. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Hyundai "Smart Cruise Control (SCC)" I had my SCC set at 54mph. I entered a broad curve, which was gentle enough that it was safe to maintain that speed. Ahead was a left-turn turnout lane for vehicles wanting to make a left turn off the highway. This turn lane is part of the broad curve, too. A vehicle was stopped ahead in this appropriate turn-off lane waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. As my vehicle entered the curve, the radar/camera at the front of my car detected this stopped vehicle a little ahead of me, and immediately began to brake my car into a panic stop. I was thrown forward a little in the seat, and the vehicle immediately behind me had to suddenly brake, too, in order to avoid read-ending me. These was no need for this of course. With conventional cruise control, I would have been able to navigate through the curve at the set speed, and all vehicles in the vicinity, including mine and the vehicle behind me, would have been safe. The Hyundai owner's manual points out that the SCC may well malfunction in curve situations (among many, many other situations). Smart Cruise Control is an accident waiting to happen. Please, please get this feature OFF of vehicles sold in the United States. Return control of the vehicle to the drive, not some camera. Thank you. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I was driving down the highway and suddenly heard a crack. One on the windshield and one on the passenger window. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Purchased car new on 01/10/2025. Drove across country to my home without any problems. At 3300 miles, on 02/21/2025, I was entering circular freeway onramp when a horizontal crack about 6 inches long in windshield suddenly appeared midway up on driver's side. No object observed striking glass either visually or audibly. After parking, crack was in outer glass layer with no indication of impact damage, such as spider cracking. Small glass fragments flaked off in area where glass crack originated. Crack has continued expanding horizontally to about 18 inches as of this writing. Crack is in direct line of driver's vision creating distraction. Structural integrity of the glass is now in question. Appears to be a stress induced crack. Due to recent crack, windshield has not yet been inspected by professionals but is available for inspection. Mild temperature in the high 50's and no rapid temperature changes. Car has Heads Up Display (HUD) which I understand has a different windshield from non-HUD models. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | SEAT BELTS | After buckling the front passenger seatbelt and proceeding to drive, the front passenger seat belt disconnected without warning. This is the 5th time this has occurred during driving. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES | I'm writing to report a safety issue with my 2025 Palisade Calligraphy Knight Edition. The other day, I was driving in town on a rough road, going under 25 miles per hour, when I came to a stop sign. I pressed on the brakes, but the car wouldn't stop completely. It kept moving forward, shuddering, and the ABS wouldn't stop. It felt like the brakes were not engaging properly, and the ABS was malfunctioning. It did finally stop on its own, but it was really scary. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I believe the braking system, and potentially the ABS, malfunctioned. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the vehicle did not stop as expected, and I had limited control over the vehicle's movement. This could have resulted in a collision. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. This is the first time it has happened. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle and its components have not been inspected by anyone regarding this issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I'm worried that this could happen again, and I want to make sure that other drivers are aware of this potential problem. I've only had my Palisade for less than 100 miles, so I'm hoping this is an isolated incident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2024 | SEAT BELTS | The passenger side seatbelt will not buckle. There was no warning no signs of failure. The car has 3000 miles on it. Seems like something in the receiver part of the seatbelt is broken. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
