general problems of the 2021 Hyundai Palisade - part 2

I was driving on a highway going approximately 80 mph when the car stopped accelerating. It was as if someone switched the car to neutral. The engine completely shut off and I had to scramble to safely pull over to the side of the highway. I had to turn the car off, wait, and turn it back on. I got back onto the highway and rushed towards a dealership. The engine shut down two more times. Each time requiring me to pull over to the side of an incredibly dangerous highway to restart the car. The dealership stated it was an issue with the fuel injector.

The child safety lock system is failing. The issue started intermittently and is now regularly occurring. With the child safety lock button on the driver’s door (near the window switches) engaged, an audible cycling of the door locks occurs. After about 12 cycles, the locks stop cycling and an error message appears on the dash. The message states “child safety lock failure”. The safety of children in the vehicle is put at risk because the system regularly fails, allowing children to open doors with vehicle in motion. When the vehicle is taken to the Hyundai dealer that sold the vehicle, they claim they cannot reproduce it and that they have not heard of anyone else reporting the same issue. However, this has been reported by many Hyundai Palisade and kia telluride owners online and they have been working with their local dealers for repair. No components have been inspected because dealer “could not reproduce”. No messages appeared prior to failure, only after (as stated above). Issue first appeared at around 30,000 miles. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Several unknown warning lights were illuminated intermittently. The contact also stated the vehicle failed to switch between gasoline and hybrid mode. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact requested a buyback of the vehicle. The failure mileage was unknown.

This vehicle awd system failed, the assitance systems failed, namely: adaptive cruise, regular cruise, blind spot warning, emergency brake assist, lane keep assist, and parking collision warning.

Another vehicle t-boned my vehicle on the front left side. We were both traveling around 15 mph. As soon as he struck my vehicle, the air bags were deployed and the car instantly caught fire. The car was on fire before I was at a complete stop. I was able to pry the door open and crawl through a small opening after moving the air bags out of the way. I had to crawl into traffic to be able to escape the fire. If the door had been jammed more severely then I wouldn't have been able to make it out in time before the fire reached me. If my kids had been in the vehicle, then I would not have been able to get them out before the fire got to them. The police determined that the fire started at the engine. My insurance totaled the vehicle and then it was removed from the towing yard and taken to montgomery. There were no prior issues or any warnings/messages before the incident.

Child safety locks failed and clicked attempting to engage until turned off. With the locks unable to engage, children able to utilize windows and open doors which put their safety at risk. Replaced under warranty.

The first time I was stopped at a red light and my vehicle shut off completely and was unresponsive, nothing worker. To get the vehicle to respond I had to get out of my vehicle at the light shut my door and use the remote to lock and unlock the vehicle at that time it finally responded. This happened again when I first started my vehicle and before I could put the vehicle in gear it shut off. I did the same thing as before and vehicle was responsive. The last time it happened I was driving the vehicle shut off I was almost hit from behind the brakes didn’t work had to wait for the vehicle to slow down, when I got out to shut my door to try to use the remote to get it to respond it kept rolling and almost hit me. This vehicle is currently in the shop to analyze this defect. There is no warning it happens out of nowhere and there is no controlling the vehicle. I am afraid for my life to drive this vehicle because if it is to happen again at a high speed or if I need to brake I run into to someone since the vehicle completely shuts down.

The infotainment system that is included with the sel model constantly disconnects from your cell phone. We did not know prior to buying this model that Hyundai had changed their vehicle packages so that the midrange does not have options for navigation or xm radio. This becomes a safety issue because instead of having my attention on the road as I should, I am attempting to reconnect my phone to use maps, and sometimes to fix the music, taking my attention off the road. I set everything up in my car prior to driving and yet the constant in and out of the connection causes me to readjust while driving. On long drives, navigation is essential to make it to the destination. Music is not an essential but it is extremely helpful to pass the time and also helps to curb the tiredness that comes with long drives. This issue may not be the worst possible issue to have but I can see it causing accidents, which is why I decided to report it. For people that do everything they can to set things up prior to driving it is very frustrating and dangerous to have to adjust the infotainment multiple times, even in short 20 minute drives, and not have their full attention on the road where it should be.

2021 Palisade calligraphy - while driving on highway (comfor mode - cruise control) htrac error light came on. After stopping and shutting car off the error resolved for a few minutes and then came back on while driving. Noticed no power to rear wheels while driving - snowed next day- awd vehicle became only fwd. Took to dealer and error code p182111 was assessed. Also water intrusion in a connection and the actuator (motor) seems to be faulty. Car has 812 miles on it when this occurred. Know of another user on Hyundai forum with same issues @ around 1000 miles. Waiting to hear what issues they are diagnosed with at dealer.

The apple carplay consistently disconnects and gives an error on the screen. This happen a lot while waze. It is very distracting & annoying. It disconnected about 10 times in 1 min already.
