1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2025

Left rear break calipers are frozen, wearing down the break pad and rotors within 1 day, breaks grinding metal on metal. When brought into autozone they stated they had 8 other Palisades this month alone with the same exact problem. There were no lights, warning or messages to the system. Vehicle was driving fine earlier in the day.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2025

Brake pedal intermittently goes soft or does not respond properly. Dealership flushed brake lines but issue returned within weeks. No abs or brake system warning lights are triggered. Safety is a concern due to potential brake failure and lack of system alerts.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2025

The forward collision warming sign just activated when there is no danger. The car will suddenly apply sharp brakes when you are even on the high with a speed over 65 miles per hour. It is very dangerous and scary and can lead to accidents. My car false alarms get activated more than three times a day. I hope Hyundai will recall this and fix this issue.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2025

On expressway traveling through atlanta, changing lanes with plenty of clearence using signal at approximately 55 mph when suddenly alarm sounded and breaking system engaged bringing car to almost complete stop. Could not accelerate and fortunately made it to berm area without causing serious accident. Turned engine off and restarted vehicle and continued on my way. Had vehicle checked at dealership and they said “all checked out and we found no diagnostics problem”. Also weren’t able to duplicate incident. I hope to god I am unable to duplicate the incident and cause fatalities including myself.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2022

My local dealer pulled the 40 amp fuse the vehicle's trailer wiring harness because of nhsta issue: omb control no. : 2127-0004 / part 573 safety recall report 22v-633. The fuse was pulled in August 2022 (6 months ago), I received a mailed notification from Hyundai, and then they marked the recall as being complete in their website. To date, I have not received any information from Hyundai about the replacement part and we have not been able to use the vehicle for towing in 6 months. I called Hyundai customer support today, and they still do not know a date when the remedy part will become available. We bought this vehicle for vacations to tow our travel trailer. If this vehicle cannot safely tow a trailer for the foreseeable future, I would like compensation and/or the option to sell the vehicle back to Hyundai. What are my options.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2022

On my way to work on the interstate with the cruise control set at 80mph a few weeks ago, the cruise control turned off automatically and all the warning lights came on within the dash. I pulled over, but the car seemed to be running fine otherwise. For the next few days the lights would be on or off and sometimes cruise control work and sometimes it didn't. I also noticed the parking break would engage automatically almost with every time I stop, which was also rare. I took the vehicle in for service and they were perplexed by the situation and had me leave my car for a few days. They thought they had it all fixed, but when I picked it up, within 24 hours, the lights came on again. I had noticed some break pressure issues when starting car up with this issue, but never a huge concern, until I backed out of my girlfriends driveway down a hill within 30 seconds of starting the car. With my foot on the pedal, the break disengaged for 2-3 seconds as I drifted down towards the street in reverse, and the abs starting pumping until I was able to depress the brake and get the car to stop (probably drifted 10-15 feet). Thank goodness no one behind me. I drove the vehicle in for service immediately as they suggested if lights remained on, so they could run diagnostics. They ordered a wheel sensor, which took a few weeks to get in while I still drove the vehicle with the abs causing me some concern over those 2-3 weeks. Just yesterday before my service to get wheel sensor changed today, I was out picking up food and driving through a flat parking lot within 30 seconds of starting the vehicle. The same issue with abs happened that I had before and I started going through a stop sign and pedestrian walkway. Luckily no one coming and brakes kicked in again after 5 feet of having no brake control at low speed. Wheel sensor replaced today and lights off. Everything seems to be working. I'm extremely concerned about this safety issue and potential accidents, injuries, deaths!.
