Acceleration hesitation on numerous occasions. Seat belt recall, unresolved. Waiting for parts for over two months. Also waiting for dealership availability and also, I need an available loaner car. I have to drive my child around frequently for personal reasons. I use my third row and there's no remedy for the third row safety recall. The second row seat belts are constantly being stuck and inoperable.
AIR BAGS Mar 31, 2026
I am writing to file a complaint regarding four recalls on my 2023 Hyundai Palisade in the past year, two of which remain unresolved due to lack of parts or remedy. We received notification of the seatbelt recall in October and scheduled with our local Hyundai dealership. Upon arriving at our appointment, we were told there were no parts to complete the repair and that there was a months long waitlist because Hyundai corporate was only sending out a limited number per dealership. Those parts had to be installed before each dealership could order more resulting in a huge back order. I called two other dealerships in our area and all had the same story. It has now been nearly 6 months and I called again to be informed there was another recall on this recall and they have stopped fixing it altogether with no ETA on resolution. In addition, while waiting for the seatbelt recall remedy, we were notified of the third row airbags being defective and there is currently not even a waitlist, remedy, or ETA for resolution for this one either. With the seatbelts unsafe on the first two rows and the airbags unsafe in the third row our entire car doesn’t have a single safe seat for our family, including two children under the age of [XXX] , to sit. This is totally irresponsible on Hyundai’s part and I think they need to be held responsible for all of these mismanaged recalls. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Hyundai’s handling of these recalls and consider requiring interim accommodations for affected owners, such as loaner vehicles or vehicle buyback.

Hyundai has opened an internal case, number 42429100 Their only resolution is to leave the vehicle at a dealership and rent a car at my own expense. They have offered to give me a slight discount on a trade, but all comparable vehicles are under safety recalls as well. They have offered no effective solution and I have no manner to safely transport my family. The vehicle is subject to an active safety recall (NHTSA Recall 26V034) for failure to meet federal ejection mitigation standards (FMVSS 226) due to curtain airbag performance in the third row. According to the manufacturer, there is currently no available remedy for this condition. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealership, which confirmed that the recall is active and that no repair can be performed at this time. A separate seatbelt-related recall was completed during the inspection. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the recall notices. Because there is no available remedy and no timeline for repair, the vehicle cannot be restored to a condition that meets federal safety standards within a reasonable timeframe. This impacts the ability to safely transport occupants, particularly in scenarios involving side impact or rollover crashes where ejection mitigation is required. The manufacturer has not provided a functional resolution, such as a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation, and advised leaving the vehicle at the dealership without support. This leaves the owner without a safe and usable vehicle for normal family transportation.

The steering wheel clunks and locks when turning at low speeds or when ISG turns the car back on. At times, it is a hard enough jerk to pull it out of my hands. It was taken to the dealership multiple times. The coupler was replaced, but it still jerked the steering wheel. The dealership in Utah could not replicate the sound, even though it occurs multiple times a day at this point. Loss of the ability to steer after sitting at a light poses a huge safety issue between not being able to immediately navigate upon accelerating or when turning left at an intersection.

SERVICE BRAKES Mar 30, 2026
As I approached the traffic light from a parking lot, at slow speeds ie 5mph, I hit a patch of uneven ground where the concrete was uneven. The brakes stuttered and lurched. I pumped the brakes without much success and came within inches of hitting the car ahead of me. This has happened multiple times. Another time, I was approaching an intersection again at approximately 30 mph. The brakes stuttered so hard that I barely stopped before entering the path of the oncoming traffic. On a later separate time, traveling at approximately 35 mph, we were fully in the crosswalk when the car finally stopped. These were just the scariest of times, not inclusive of all occurrences. The trouble began within the first few months of purchasing the car in 2023 and still happens. I reported this to the dealership on several occasions. They claim it is normal for the vehicle but it is a danger to the occupants in the car and the nearby pedestrians.

When moving forward at very slow speed, the steering wheel bounces as if it had been hit by something and we hear a loud "thunk". The whole front end of the car vibrates. This has also happened once while completely stopped at a traffic signal. This has been happening for several months, and we know that others have reported the same problem, but the dealer is unresponsive. We are worried that the steering could fail at speed, and are losing confidence in the car.

I purchased this car in September 2025 and learned about the seatbelt recall shortly thereafter. Since then I have been waiting for the repair- my local dealership has had the parts on back order since then. My children ride in the 2nd row and the seatbelt has come unlatched while we were driving on 5 separate occasions. This is unacceptable and put my children’s lives at risk. Hyundai should have parts available to fix this immediately. I need to know what can be done to ensure my children are safe. I have to drive my car so I don’t know what else to do. I need assistance for a solution.

I’m frustrated with the seatbelt recall. The dealership has been amazing at assisting us, but it’s Hyundai that’s dropping the ball with only release 2 seatbelt buckles per week, per dealership. I have 2 seatbelts in my vehicle that are randomly coming unbuckled. I’ve had a few appointments trying to get it fixed, but they can’t get the parts in. Then to receive a letter in the mail about the third row seat. This isn’t just my daily driver, I haul 4 kids in this vehicle with 2 seatbelts coming unbuckled! This should be a priority in fixing, all of it.

I own a 2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited that currently has confirmed active safety recalls affecting critical passenger safety systems, including the third-row side-curtain airbag recall and the second-row seat belt buckle recall. We have experienced firsthand the seat belts coming unbuckled during driving. These recalls affect hundreds of thousands of Palisade vehicles and involve defects where third-row airbags may not properly deploy in a crash and seat belt buckles may fail to latch correctly, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. Despite contacting my dealership, I have been given inconsistent information and no clear remedy timeline, leaving me with a vehicle that I reasonably believe is unsafe to operate and significantly diminished in value. I am seeking legal review regarding potential class action participation, consumer protection claims, or compensation for owning a vehicle with unresolved safety defects. At this time their only remedy offered is to swap the palisade for a lender Santa Fe until it is repaired, this is something I have pressed for persistently to achieve.

Manufacturer Recall Number283 NHTSA Recall Number25V607000 I took my car to McGovern Hyundai in Arlington, MA to have the seat belt recall issue fixed. The recall was issued in September 2025. I was told that they cannot fix the issue because they do have the parts. I have children who ride in the backseat of my car everyday. It is unsafe and unacceptable for Hyundai not to have the parts to address this recall.

At low speed, and today for the first time completed stopped at a stop sign, we here and feel a very loud "thunk" through the steering wheel and coming from under the front end of the vehicle. It's very loud and jerks the steering wheel when it happens, and can be felt through the car seats as well. The whole vehicle seems to shake. This has happened so far approximately ten times, and we are losing confidence in the car's safety. The dealer told us that he had not heard of this problem, but we know that to be untrue, because a simple google search reveals that it is a known issue.

Our vehicle has yet another active recall, without a remedy. The vehicle is “unsafe in event of a crash in the third row”. I specifically bought this vehicle because I have children and need the third row.

We were in Nevada and the outside temp was in the mid 60s. The inside air conditioning was set at 69. We pulled over to inspect and take a picture. I have read about numerous complaints of this happening going back to the 2021 models and as recently as the 2024 models.

Hyundai issued recall 292 "A VEHICLES THAT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THIS STANDARD MIGHT HAVE INCREASED RISK OF INJURY TO THIRD ROW OCCUPANTS DURING CERTAIN CRASHES INCLUDING A ROLLOVER." on January 22, 2026. As of the time of this filing, February 4, 2026, there is no remedy available. The Palisaid I own is impacted and we are unable to safely use the vehicle as intended for 3 of the 7 vehicle seats. I have contacted Hyundai Corporate and was assigned a case manager; as of February 3, 2026, his response was "I completely understand that one of your primary reasons for purchasing this vehicle was to accommodate your family using the third-row seating, and I truly apologize on behalf of HMA for the inconvenience this situation has caused. At this time, because the vehicle remains operational, we are unfortunately unable to offer compensation or an alternate vehicle until an official remedy becomes available. Please know that we recognize how frustrating this experience can be, and we appreciate your patience while we await further updates." I do not consider the vehicle "operational" when occupants of the seats may be more injured during a crash.

Along with the two recalls of which I have not been contacted by Hyundai or provided any form of remedy, this is highly concerning and makes me feel extremely unsafe driving my vehicle, especially with the fact that I have small children and teenagers. My car had an issue from inception that I’ve let the dealer know about that. They still have not fixed including the fact that well I’ll be driving on certain roads are on the highway. It’ll come up with a warning telling me that I’m going the wrong way and try to engage the automatic breaking system. In addition, the second row seatbelt has been stuck and it won’t go back in. The third row seats often times try to disengage and come down. Anytime I hit a small bump or go over a speed bump even very slow. My Bluetooth goes off-line as well as the Navigation and then it comes back online within 3 to 5 minutes. Carr seems to have had a number of odd issues, including the way the engine has sounded as well as the electrical system is not engaging properly. I feel highly unsafe continuing to drive this vehicle and until all recalls and full proper analysis is conducted to remedy these issues I would want Either a full refund of the cash value that I purchased my vehicle for, a brand new vehicle at no additional charge, or a loaner vehicle until all of these issues are remedied, and then a full analysis to ensure that it meets the standards. My preference would be to get a full refund of the cash value in which I purchased my vehicle for so I can get something else that is more safe for my family.

I am writing to report a recurring safety-related issue with my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The rear shocks on my vehicle failed at approximately 29,000 miles and were replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, the same components have failed again at around 65,000 miles, resulting in a noticeably rough, unstable, and unsafe ride. The repeated failure of these suspension parts raises concerns about the durability and reliability of the vehicle’s rear shock system, as well as the potential risk it poses to occupants and other drivers. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed to determine whether a broader defect investigation is warranted.

I am reporting a recurring, life-threatening electronic failure in my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. On [XXX], while turning into an intersection, the vehicle's brakes spontaneously engaged, stalling the car in the path of oncoming traffic. During this event, multiple critical safety systems failed simultaneously, including the headlights and horn, leaving me unable to warn other drivers. A "violent" surge was required to clear the intersection, risking a high-speed collision. Similar spontaneous recurrences occurred on [XXX] and [XXX], and most recently on [XXX]. These incidents are characterized by "phantom braking," total loss of propulsion, and a complete lack of interior/exterior electronic response. Technical Evidence: Diagnostic scans revealed 16 distinct fault codes (including C161608, C181287, and U012687) involving the Chassis Control Module, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and communication buses. Despite these logged codes, Hyundai and the dealership have repeatedly returned the vehicle to me, stating they "cannot replicate" the issue, thereby dismissing a documented electronic record of failure. Arbitration Status: I entered into BBB Auto Line Arbitration (Case #[XXX]). Hyundai has contested the claim by attempting to manipulate the "start date" of the defect to February 2024 to avoid Lemon Law statutes, despite dealer records confirming the first occurrence in August 2023. As of January 13, 2026, the dealership is again attempting to force me to take delivery of the unrepaired vehicle. This vehicle is a "phantom" safety hazard. The manufacturer’s inability to replicate a logged electronic fault during a brief test drive does not mitigate the extreme risk of sudden braking and power loss at highway speeds. I am requesting a formal investigation into these specific fault codes and the electronic integrity of this model.
