Expert Verdict
โš ๏ธElevated Concerns

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade faces notable reliability concerns primarily due to multiple recalls affecting critical systems like the electrical components and trailer hitches. With peak failure mileage averaging around 34,711 miles, owners should remain vigilant to avoid potential issues.

Key Factor:Multiple critical recalls

๐Ÿ“‹Why This Matters

The recalls for the 2022 Hyundai Palisade are significant, especially regarding the electrical system where excessive adhesive in the instrument cluster can lead to display failures. Additionally, the risk of fire from faulty trailer hitches poses a serious safety threat that could leave drivers stranded. This combination of electrical and visibility issues can diminish driver confidence and increase repair costs over time.

Mileage Failure Analysis

โš™๏ธEngineering Insight

The peak failure range of 20k-40k miles suggests that issues are likely to emerge fairly early in ownership. This is critical for current owners who should be proactive in monitoring their vehicles as they approach this mileage threshold to mitigate risks associated with electrical failures and wiper operation.

SERVICE BRAKES

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a serious safety issue involving my Hyundai Palisade related to brake failure. While driving my Hyundai Palisade, I experienced a situation where pressing the brake pedal resulted in little to no braking response. The vehicle did not slow or stop as expected, creating an extremely dangerous situation and a significant risk of collision. This occurred without warning, and the brake pedal did not provide normal resistance or stopping power. This issue appears to be intermittent, which makes it difficult to predict or reproduce, but it has occurred more than once. Based on my experience and reports from other Hyundai Palisade owners, this may be related to a malfunction of the braking or ABS system. The lack of reliable braking response presents a serious safety hazard to drivers, passengers, and others on the road. I am concerned that this issue could result in a crash, injury, or worse if not addressed promptly. I am requesting that this complaint be formally recorded and that the brake system on Hyundai Palisade vehicles be thoroughly investigated. If applicable, I also request information regarding any known technical service bulletins, software updates, or recalls related to this issue.

The sun roof in our 2022 Hyundai Palisade exploded on Friday 28th November whilst we were driving down the highway on I25 to [XXX] . All of my family were in the car and the sunroof exploded outwards for no reason. There were no windows or doors open at that time to create pressure and no rock or item hit the sunroof. As you can see from the photos, there is very little glass inside the car and the majority of it exploded up and out from the car and the shape of the glass pointing upwards, indicates the explosion was from the inside of the car, to the outside. Despite the upheaval in the car , we were able to navigate the car safely off the highway. We were in contact with Hyundai corporate (Case number XXX) and they have denied to accept responsibility for this design issue. We have seen numerous incidences of this online for exploding sunroofs on Hyundai Palisades. Our local Hyundai dealership inspected the sunroof and took record of the broken sunroof but they have denied to accept responsibility. We have filed a claim through Safeco insurance (Claim #XXX) and got the sunroof replaced through insurance. I have sent a case to Safeco for Subrogation for them to reclaim costs for Hyundai. We feel this is a significant design issue and will potentially cause other accidents in the future. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The engine is burning oil at a rate that is unreasonable. When the oil level is low, there is no oil light indicator to show that the car is low on oil. My safety is being put at risk because the engine could seize up at any moment and may have slow or no acceleration. I caught the low oil problem just in time because i have a child who was aware of what the issue was with the car. I have had normal oil changes. This is a known issue in Hyundai's and these vehicles need to be repaired/replaced. The care will be inspected by a Hyundai dealership.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the front driver's side and passenger's side seat belts unbuckled independently while driving. The contact stated that the failure had recurred more frequently with the front passenger's side seat belt. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts), which the contact related to the failure; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Rear suspension has continued to have issues. First noticed after about 20,000 miles. A clunk and gurgling sound in rear. Took to local dealership and they didnโ€™t do anything about it. Took again at 35,000 miles and was ignored again. 42,000 the dealership finally listened and replaced rear shock insulation, problem persisted but was a little more muted. 48,860 miles took it to another dealership and they replaced both rear shocks reporting them both as leaky rear shocks. Now at 70,000 all previous symptoms are back and louder than before.

Rear shocks failed at 71,000 miles, front shocks are now failing at 73,000 miles. Vehicle is not driven under harsh conditions and all recommended maintenance has been performed. Service advisor said โ€œthe Palisade is notorious for thisโ€. Front rotors/brakes have been reported as in good conditions for months. Now, front rotors are suddenly so warped they need to be replaced immediately.

After my 2022 Palisade Calligraphy with 95K miles stalled several times in intersections and ran rough, dealership said I was 4 quarts of oil low. Dealership recommended an oil consumption test and vehicle burns 1 quart every 568 miles. Hyundai denied my claim under their 100K power train warranty since I was 2nd owner, and they did not make a good will offer. After researching, it appears oil consumption is a common problem with Hyundai vehicles, specifically the Palisade. Aftermarket warranty I purchased denied my claim since it didn't cover oil consumption. Submitting this incident so others are aware of oil consumption issues with Hyundai vehicles as vehicle is unsafe when it stalls.

The airbag light came on and we took it in. The dealership reported that the airbag module has failed. This is a safety concern since this is not a common issue for cars to have unless its an older car, its been in an accident or moisture. We park the car inside a garage overnight every night. The light has been on for a few months and the dealership (Dean Team Hyundai in Ballwin, MO) confirmed the issued was the airbag module.
