Equipment problem #1

I am writing to report a compliance issue regarding Hyundai recall 292 (NHTSA 26v-034). My vehicle has been grounded due to the safety risks outlined in this recall (specifically the failure of side curtain airbags to meet ejection mitigation standards for third-row occupants). Despite the vehicle being rendered unusable for safe transport, Hyundai is refusing to provide or reimburse a rental vehicle. This is a direct contradiction to the reimbursement plan submitted by Hyundai to the NHTSA on March 2, 2026, which states that the manufacturer will provide owners of affected vehicles reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain a remedy for the recall condition. Since a final remedy is currently "not available," the only interim "remedy" to ensure occupant safety is to provide a rental vehicle. By grounding the vehicle but refusing to cover alternate transportation, Hyundai is effectively forcing owners to continue driving an unsafe vehicle or incur significant financial hardship, which undermines the entire purpose of the safety recall. I request that the NHTSA investigate Hyundai’s refusal to honor its reimbursement commitments for grounded vehicles under recall 292 and ensure that all affected owners are provided with safe, manufacturer-covered transportation until a permanent fix is installed.

Equipment problem #2

The sunroof exploded while driving down the road. No other vehicles were within 100m of us. It sounded like a shotgun going off. Immediately pulled over to assess the damage and found almost no glass inside the car. The glass that was surrounding the break was protruding upward as if it had been building pressure from the inside of the car. Vehicle is available for inspection. I was swerving all over the road ducking my head thinking I had been shot at (combat vet). Im guessing the glass that wasn't found inside the car hit the road behind us but no other vehicles were around us at the time. If someone would have been behind us, they would have gotten peppered with broken glass. Dealer has not been notified yet but have seen many reports of the same thing happening to other people online. No one else has inspected the damage at this time. No warnings or messages were given prior to but im sure thats impossible. Temperature today has been between 30 and 40 degrees f. No major or rapid changes within the last few days.

Equipment problem #3

I am reporting a deliberate misrepresentation of vehicle status regarding recall 292. On April 9, 2026, I brought my vehicle to bud clary auburn Hyundai, for recall services, a safety concern with the 3rd row seat. I was told recall 292 had no remedy. I did not feel comfortable putting my kids back there knowing the airbags are recalled. It was officially grounded due to the side curtain airbag safety defect. The dealership has generated a repair order (ro) that falsely claims I departed in the vehicle on that same day. This is a material misrepresentation of fact. The vehicle was not released to me; it remained grounded and in the dealership's physical possession because it was deemed unsafe to drive. Evidence of falsification: the dealership's claim that I left in the vehicle is physically impossible and contradicts their own actions. I have a written email from the service manager acknowledging that a dealership employee personally drove me home on April 9th because the vehicle was grounded. Motivation and impact: this falsification appears to be a bad-faith attempt to manipulate the "days out of service" count required for eligibility under the washington state lemon law. By documenting a departure that never occurred, the dealer is attempting to "stop the clock" on a safety-related grounding. Reporting inaccurate possession data on a vehicle under a federal safety recall compromises the integrity of the NHTSA’s recall tracking system.

Equipment problem #4

Driving approx. 45 mph through [xxx] when I heard loud boom and glass shattering. After calming down and avoiding a collision I realized my sunroof had essentially exploded and shattered. No impact or foreign debris was visible or noted. I was very scared. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Equipment problem #5

Recall notice was received reporting 3rd row seating unsafe for occupants. There is no remedy at this time and I have 4 children under the age of 8, two of which ride in the 3rd row. Dealership has been reluctant to help with this matter and Hyundai corporate has delayed communication.

Equipment problem #6

Within months of purchase, I reported to james wood Hyundai in decatur that my children were repeatedly becoming unbuckled in the rear bucket seats. I was told the seatbelts were fine yet I continued raising this concern at multiple service visits because the issue persisted. This was an ongoing safety problem not an isolated complaint. Years later, Hyundai issued a recall for this exact defect. I promptly contacted the nearest dealership to schedule repairs and explained that this concern has been documented since shortly after purchase. I was informed repairs would be delayed several weeks because enterprise fleet vehicles were being prioritized and was told I am the “only person” experiencing this issue a statement that conflicts with a formal safety recall. Enterprise cannot legally rent vehicles with open safety recalls due to safety concerns, yet I am expected to transport my children in a vehicle with known defective rear seatbelts. Now there is another recall regarding passenger safety in the third row with no remedy so my children have no safe seat to use in my car. When I asked who’s responsible if my kids are injured in the second or third row of my car they will not respond.

Equipment problem #7

See attached document for complaint.

Equipment problem #8

While driving to work this morning, 12/31/25, at approximately 0730 my front sunroof exploded. There was no collision, no debris, nothing hit the glass. This put me and my child at risk due to exploding glass. I have attempted to contact dealer to inquire but am waiting on a returned phone call. I have filed a claim with my insurance as well. There was no warning that this was going to occur.

Equipment problem #9

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).

Equipment problem #10

I was driving down the interstate with my sunroof and the panel closed. Sunroof exploded outwards. Not near an overpass or any falling debris. Glass flew everywhere. Thankfully the screen was closed and it did not come inwards.

Equipment problem #11

Door locks clicking continuously for long periods, leading to "child safety lock failure" message displayed on dash. This occurred briefly last year and went away on its own, but issue has returned. Have received child safety lock failure message multiple times.

Equipment problem #12

Passenger side window cracked while driving under normal driving circumstances. I have had this vehicle for less than 30 days.

Equipment problem #13

The child safety lock fails frequently. It begins to click as if it is trying to lock the rears doors and then a warning on the dash says the child locks have failed. I have 2 children and this is a big problem.

Equipment problem #14

Vehicle randomly burst into flames while parked and shut off in our driveway beside our home. Vehicle is total loss. Fire department determined fire started driver side rear of vehicle in wiring. Diehl Hyundai of sharon was the last dealer to proved service and closed the recall on this vehicle. Vehicle model is known for this type of fire. Dealer did not make us aware of this recall before purchase. Vehicle was purchased specifically for towing ability.

Equipment problem #15

Driving on the highway, the sunroof exploded randomly. Glass blew up and out of the car, endangering anyone driving behind us. Glass also fell into the vehicle on myself and my pregnant wife. There were no warning lights or signs prior to this happening. This car is a certified pre owned car under warranty that had just gone through a full inspection prior to purchase in the fall of 2024.

Equipment problem #16

The driver side wiper stopped working after heavy snow. The right side under carriage screw came out so it was hanging but eventually got torn off.

Equipment problem #17

The power liftgate rh lift cylinder (passenger side) snapped out and broke causing issue to open and close.

Equipment problem #18

As I was driving, I heard a loud pop sound and then my sunroof shattered to pieces! it was not unusual weather or too hot or too cold. Why would this happen?.

Equipment problem #19

I was driving along the feeder road entering the on-ramp of the highway, going about 45 mph, when I heard a loud explosion coming from inside my vehicle. I was obviously startled and my first thought was maybe my kids left a soda bottle in the car and the pressure caused the bottle to explode. It was then I noticed broken glass all over the interior of my vehicle, as well as on my person. It was a clear, sunny day, about 75 degrees, so no extreme weather. There were no vehicles ahead of me, behind me or on either side of me. When I got to a stopping point, I searched my vehicle thoroughly thinking something must have come through the glass and shattered it. But I found nothing in my vehicle that would have come from outside and caused this to happen. While taking photos of everything, I noticed the glass that was left appeared to be bowed upwards instead of inward. It was then I realized whatever happened did not come from outside of my vehicle. I started looking things up online and realized the "exploding sunroof" was actually a very common issue happening to many other people's vehicles. Why a recall on this serious safety issue has not been issued is baffling. I could have been in an accident due to the startling nature of the incident, I could have been cut with shards of glass. Thank god my children were not in the car with me at the time as most of the glass went to the back seats where they would have been sitting. Prior to this happening there were no issues with my sunroof and no obvious warning signs of its impending explosion. I truly hope a recall is issued soon before someone is seriously injured, or worse.

Equipment problem #20

The forward safety breaking in this model is going to kill someone, hopefully not me as I am careful to manually disable it every time I start the car. Otherwise it applies the breaks at dangerous moments. Most often it happens when trees overhang the road, sometimes it is overhead road signs. I am not always sure what the cause is but having my breaks applied hard in the middle of merging multi lane highways is most definitively dangerous. I understand that on the 2023 model this can be permanently disabled so I suspect Hyundai is well aware of the problem. This problem has occurred to me at least a dozen times, and as I said I try to be very careful to disable it everyone I start the car.

Equipment problem #21

My trunk liftgate struts made of cheap quality and broken. Actually this could cause potential risk as I cannot close the trunk. The material is made of cheap pvc cracked for no reason.

Equipment problem #22

As I was driving. The sunroof shattered without any object hitting it.

Equipment problem #23

On April 19, 2024, while driving my 2022 Hyundai Palisade around 10:00 am (82 degrees outside) at a speed of 70 mph with no traffic ahead or behind me, my sunroof exploded. A very loud noise that startled my wife and me while driving. With no traffic on the road I was able to safely pull over and inspect the sunroof/damage. It left a semi round hole of shattered missing glass approximately twelve (12) inches in diameter. I then drove immediately to the nearest Hyundai dealer (Hyundai north - covington la). There service tech inspected it and said this issue has been happening often, but it is not covered under warranty, therefore, I would need to file an insurance claim to fix it.

Equipment problem #24

Child safety lock malfunction loud clicking noise followed by a child safety lock malfunction notice it does not happen every time.

Equipment problem #25

Rear occupany alarm has gone off after vehicle is off after exiting vehicle when vehicle is empty. This has occurred 5 times in the past 2 months and is random. The dealership is likely unable to duplicate issue so have not taken it in for this issue.

Equipment problem #26

On January 21, 2024, I was driving the Palisade about 80 miles away from home when I got engine overheated message multiple times. The temperature gage would go up and to max then goes down multiple times. Finally it was discovered that the coolant was leaking. The vehicle had about 31,000 miles. It was supposedly inspected when after 30,000 on December 28, 2023. The car was towed to a nearby dealer. Since it was Sunday, I had to rent a car and went home. Next day I called the dealer and was told the car would not be checked for another month at least. I was told to find other dealer in the area that can handle the inspection and fix if I wanted the car any sooner. I complained vehemently. I gave up and called other dealers in the area. Finally the same dealer called back and said that they have looked at the car it turned out there is technical bulletin for the issue. I was told to come down and get a loaner. I traveled to that location next day and picked up a loaner as my car is the only car we have. I talked to the dealer where the car was inspected last December and was told that service departments do not loo at tbs unless the owner raises an issue. I do not have access to tbs to check what's out there. This issue should not happen to consumers. Bulletins and recalls should be available publicly to all consumers to be aware of issues. I'm not sure where to go get tbs for my car. I found Hyundai's site for recalls. Nothing else. This should be addressed at the national level. Attached is a file that contains pictures of the coolant reservoir, at the beginning, after adding more coolant, then at end when it became clear coolant level is coming down.

Equipment problem #27

My wife and I were driving on I-81 south of front royal, virginia on 10 October 2023 when our sunroof shattered. Temperatures were mild at the time and we were traveling at normal highway speeds. Nothing impacted the vehicle and there was no warning before the sunroof broke. This is the second time this has happened in this vehicle, the first time having been repaired under warranty by a local dealer. This time we were fortunate to have the sunshade closed so no glass got in the vehicle and we were not injured unlike last time. My wife held the sunshade closed and we managed to pull over safely. We found a car wash and vacuumed as much of the glass as we could and jury rigged a cover out of cardboard and duct tape so we could proceed on our trip. We are now contacting an attorney.

Equipment problem #28

The blind spot view monitor (which displays the blind spot view from the side camera in the cluster when operating the turn signal control) malfunctioned. I rely on this safety feature when changing lanes as an extra precaution, and having the blind spot view suddenly not display when its settings are turned on poses a safety risk. This problem persisted for roughly 24 hours on the date stated. I parked the car, turned it off and on several times, toggled the setting for it on and off but that did not resolve the issue. The vehicle did not have any warning indicting the blind spot view was not functioning properly and there were no other issues present. Oddly, the next evening, after being parked overnight, the blind spot view monitor was back to its proper display. Luckily, I captured a video of the issue which also shows that settings for the blind spot view monitor were on but that it would not display properly. Unfortunately, the dealer was unable to reproduce the problem, but they only drove it for a total of 12 miles in their possession. I'm uncertain what inspection or trouble-shooting they did. I'm reporting this issue since other Palisade owners have also experienced a similar intermittent problem with their blind spot view monitors. They also said it abruptly just starting working again, similar to what I experienced.

Equipment problem #29

Sunroof exploded on Monday August 14 driving on highway going approximately 60 mph in albuquerque nm. Thankfully both covers were closed at the time of the incident. 86 degrees and clear skies at 3:20 pm. Dash cam in place at the time of incident.

Equipment problem #30

My sunroof exploded!! nothing hit me, I wasn’t driving crazy. My family and I were on our way home from visiting my dad and we heard a loud bang, like a shotgun, and glass pieces. I pulled over immediately and saw the sunroof looks like it was punch from inside the car out. Just exploded! I had to google to see if this has happened before and surprised to see it has to other Palisade owners. I got a police escort home because I had to drive really slow to get home safely. Incredibly scary for all of us.

Equipment problem #35

I had a "engine overheat" warning while I was parked. I checked and noticed the coolant level was low. So, I added coolant and the warning went away. I thought it was just a one-time thing. After a week, I parked my car while I went to pick up something at the store. My mother was in the car so I left the car running. When I came back, I noticed a very strong smell of coolant and saw the "engine overheat" warning again, the car was blowing hot air. I turned off the car and opened up the hood and saw coolant liquid was all over and also on the floor. I called Hyundai roadside assistance and they picked up the car after 5 hours of waiting. The next day, I called them and was told the radiator was cracked. It's been three days. I'm still waiting for their call.

Equipment problem #36

Equipment problem #39

Two days ago, my husband took our vehicle to the car wash. At the other end of the car wash, it was discovered that the closed panoramic sunroof was completely destroyed during the process. Shards of glass were everywhere. We have contacted Hyundai and they have told my husband there is no class action suit about this problem. Even though it is under warranty, as it is a 2022, they refuse to take responsibility to take care of the damages. I have found through my research, that this was a class action lawsuit, which was closed in 2017, but continues to be a very bad problem for not only Hyundai but many other vehicles using a particular type of glass. We are now unable to get the parts to repair it, as the glass company cannot get a part from Hyundai, and Hyundai refuses to comply comply.

Equipment problem #40

Driving into work my sunroof just exploded. Nothing hit me it was like an explosion. I keep getting the run around from the dealership and the warranty company.

Equipment problem #41

When driving down the road with my 7 year old in the vehicle, the single moonroof spontaneously exploded. No warning signs whatsoever, the vehicle is garage kept and there was no impact to the roof of the vehicle. The glass exploded outwards. The safety issue this creates is the glass particles. The loud is incredibly startling which could cause an accident. This was confirmed to have happened before by a buyer at the servicing dealership.

Equipment problem #50

Hyundai has failed to remedy recall 235 within a reasonable amount of time, and is misreporting the stats of completed repairs related to this recall. They state that owner notification letters and dealer instructions were mailed may 2023 and that "dealers will install a new fuse and wire extension kit, as necessary, free of charge. " yet, the dealerships I've contacted do not have the replacement parts and have not been able to repair my vehicle despite many inquiries. I have inquired with Hyundai USA about this permanent recall remedy and they have been unable to assist. They refer me back to the dealership, and the dealership refers me back to Hyundai USA with no remedy in site. The quarterly report stats are misleading, as my car and others have had this recall marked as "completed" when in fact only the inspection and interim fix to remove the 40a fuse was completed, not the permanent fix they claimed to have ready in may 2023. All the interim fix did was disable the power supplied to the tow hitch, so brakes and turn signals will not function on trailers, which is a road hazard. This is not a repair, it renders your tow hitch inoperable in a safe manner. While Hyundai USA reported to NHTSA back in may 2023 that they had a permanent fix including a replacement 15a fuse and new wire harness parts available, it is just not accurate. It is over a year since they publicly announced the tow hitch harness recall 235 and more than 5 months since they announced the permanent repair, yet any dealership I contacted was unable to perform the repair and said they were not supplied with the recall replacement parts. No alternative recall remedies have been given either. This recall needs to be remedied in actuality, not just on a piece of paper. So many owners like myself have exhausted means of contacting Hyundai, yet are still left with an unrepaired recall. It is unsafe and deplorable that they are publicly releasing inaccurate recall data in their favor.

Equipment problem #53

While driving my car it loses all power steering, said something about lane assist, shows a red circle with an exclamation point. This is dangerous as I can't turn. The only fix is to attempt to pull over, turn the car off and let it reset. This has happened three times in the middle of traffic, nearly causing accidents.

Equipment problem #54

On may 7, 2022 I was driving to georgia to visit a loved one in the hospital at night. I was driving by myself with my dog. Approximately 1:50 am, I stopped in greensville, nc (my halfway point to my destination) to relieve myself, let the dog relieve himself, and fill up my gas tank for the 2nd time (which was 5 hours from my destination). Approximately 15-20 mins after getting back on the road, I opened my sunroof to smoke a cigarette and I hear a loud "boom" on the roof of my vehicle. I looked up to see if my roof luggage crossbars were still in place (and it was). I continued to drive. I finished my cigarette and began to close the sunroof when I heard another loud noise with glass falling into my vehicle. I looked up and noticed that my sunroof has shattered completely. I hit the s. O. S button for assistance and they asked me to pull over. I told they, "absolutely not! this is not a well lit area; I'm driving by myself; it's just me and my dog; I don't know where I am; I'm in the middle of nowhere; I'm scared; and it's 2:00 in the morning!" I continued driving and told the operator that I was coming up on an area that looked better lit with signs showing food, lodging, and gas. I told her, I was going to get off the highway and go to one of the gas stations in that area. I took the exit and headed to the gas station; however, all of them were closed. I asked her what were my options? she stated that she wanted to send roadside assistance to my location and they would tow my vehicle to the nearest Hyundai dealership. I told her that everything was closed and because it was so late and I was in the middle of nowhere, I would continue to my destination and call back. I continued to drive 5 hours straight (without stopping) to get to georgia. During the remainder of my travel, I had to keep holding the sunroof cover because of the vibrations from the wind pockets to keep the cover from sliding and vibrating.

Equipment problem #56

Cracks occuring on windshield without direct impact. Requesting warranty repair but is not being honored by dealer.

Equipment problem #57

Rear differential failed and locked up at speed. No vehicles were behind at the time of the incident but could have easily caused a collision since the break lights weren't activated. Dealership confirmed the rear differential failed. Unable to inspect the components and the differential is going to be shipped to the manufacturer without being opened by the local dealership. Minor shudder felt a few moments prior to the complete failure and lock up and no warning lights came on before or after the incident.

Equipment problem #58

When increasing speed once it hits 65 up to 75 the steering wheel shake/vibrates. This is not safe at this speed and uncomfortable to drive. The service manager drove it and agreed the issue was there. It has been into be fixed several times. I am told each time it is fixed, but when test driven it is still an issue. I have been told it is fixed, but I have told them it is not.
