1 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2026

We are currently on a road trip. Fortunately we were in a 55mph zone and not going faster. While driving on the highway, the hood released from the latch and popped open. Fortunately the secondary latch caught it and we were able to pull over safely. I can’t imagine if we were going faster if the secondary latch would’ve withheld it. Very scary incident.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2026

Korum Hyundai documented my 2026 Palisade calligraphy as having a “failing bumper support structure” and noted a rear-bumper indentation on 3 of 4 vehicles inspected. Purchased 1/28/26, delivered 3/1/26. After road trips and the first wash following the 30-day ceramic-coating cure, the indentation was clearly evident. Multiple inspections found no evidence of impact or camera-recorded damage. The bumper was replaced through insurance and recoated. After another 30-day cure, the same indentation was again evident after the next wash and now appears better or worse depending on driving, weather and temperature. Korum referred me to Hyundai motor America. After nearly 3 months of calls, emails and delays with no repair or resolution, Hyundai is now sending me back to korum on 11/5. I am going in circles while the documented “failing bumper support structure” remains unresolved with Hyundai of America/korum Hyundai.
