I am writing to file a complaint regarding four recalls on my 2023 Hyundai Palisade in the past year, two of which remain unresolved due to lack of parts or remedy. We received notification of the seatbelt recall in October and scheduled with our local Hyundai dealership. Upon arriving at our appointment, we were told there were no parts to complete the repair and that there was a months long waitlist because Hyundai corporate was only sending out a limited number per dealership. Those parts had to be installed before each dealership could order more resulting in a huge back order. I called two other dealerships in our area and all had the same story. It has now been nearly 6 months and I called again to be informed there was another recall on this recall and they have stopped fixing it altogether with no eta on resolution. In addition, while waiting for the seatbelt recall remedy, we were notified of the third row airbags being defective and there is currently not even a waitlist, remedy, or eta for resolution for this one either. With the seatbelts unsafe on the first two rows and the airbags unsafe in the third row our entire car doesn’t have a single safe seat for our family, including two children under the age of [xxx] , to sit. This is totally irresponsible on Hyundai’s part and I think they need to be held responsible for all of these mismanaged recalls. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Hyundai’s handling of these recalls and consider requiring interim accommodations for affected owners, such as loaner vehicles or vehicle buyback. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I opened a case with Hyundai corporate due to the safety recalls, one being the second row seat belts and now the ejection recall for the third row passenger. I was told to use caution only to my request of a loaner or rental reimbursement. Hyundai is not honoring rental reimbursements as they submitted.

Have attempted recall repairs 2 times. Was told I needed to reschedule since parts not available. I brought my vehicle in for repair 3/30/2026 @ 8:20. After noticing my car in back parking lot that did not move from at least 8:50am to 10:10am, I asked service representative what was happening. I was told I need to bring back at a later date when seatbelt parts are in. This process would take 4 hours. I made them aware that my front passenger seatbelt comes undone often.

My 2025 Hyundai Palisade is currently subject to multiple safety recalls affecting occupant safety. These include a recall involving seat belt buckle assemblies in the front and second row seating positions, as well as a separate recall involving the third-row seating area where the vehicle may not meet federal safety standards for occupant protection and may increase the risk of injury during a rollover crash. At this time, there is no available remedy for the third-row safety recall. Although no crash or injury has occurred, I regularly transport my children in this vehicle and am concerned about operating a vehicle that has been identified as having an increased risk of injury in a rollover crash without any available fix. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I have scheduled a dealership appointment to address the recalls that currently have available remedies. However, the primary safety concern remains unresolved due to the lack of a repair for the third-row issue. This situation raises concerns about occupant safety and the ability to safely transport passengers.

I took my car for service on March 27th 2026 and was informed the part for the seat belt recall was on back order. Today is April 24th 2026 and the part still has not arrived. My vehicle remains at the dealer.

I own a Hyundai vehicle with an active safety recall related to seatbelt buckle failure. The driver seatbelt buckle does not latch at all. The seatbelt tongue inserts but does not lock, making the seat unusable and unsafe to be driven. This issue matches the recall description for defective seatbelt buckle assemblies that may prevent proper latching. I have contacted multiple Hyundai dealerships and Hyundai corporate. I was informed that the recall remedy is not currently available due to lack of parts and will likely not be available for another 16 weeks. This recall has been open since approximately September 2025, and as of now (March 2026), no repair has been provided. Hyundai has not provided a loaner vehicle or guaranteed transportation solution despite the safety-critical nature of this issue. I was advised to contact dealerships individually to search for parts or loaners, which is not a viable solution. I am concerned about the extended delay in providing a remedy for a critical safety component and the lack of a consistent interim solution for affected owners.

I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety issue involving my 2023 Hyundai Palisade that is currently unresolved and directly impacts the safety of my children and passengers. My vehicle is subject to an open safety recall (recall 292 – ejection mitigation) for which there is currently no available remedy. In addition to this unresolved recall, I am experiencing an active failure of the seatbelt system. The seatbelts do not consistently latch and/or will not remain securely latched, creating an immediate risk to occupants. Replacement seatbelt components were ordered in January, and I have been informed they are on backorder with no estimated timeline for repair. As of today, the issue remains unresolved. This situation presents a severe safety concern. The vehicle has compromised occupant protection systems, including both restraint failure (seatbelts) and an open recall involving ejection mitigation. I regularly transport children in this vehicle and cannot rely on the safety systems to function properly. I have contacted Hyundai motor America and opened a case to resolve this issue. However, Hyundai has not provided a repair, has not provided a safe alternative vehicle, and has not offered a viable solution. I was offered rental reimbursement, but I am unable to pay out of pocket for a rental vehicle upfront, and the reimbursement limit does not cover a comparable vehicle suitable for transporting my family. As a result, I am being left with no reasonable or safe option: either continue operating a vehicle with known safety defects or assume financial burden that I cannot afford in order to obtain temporary transportation. I am requesting that this issue be investigated, including: * the delay in remedy for recall 292 * the failure and parts shortage related to seatbelt systems * the lack of manufacturer support for consumers facing active safety risks this vehicle is not safe for normal use under current conditions.

My 2025 Hyundai Palisade has active safety recalls with no remedy available: recall 283 (seatbelt – 1st and 2nd row) recall 292 (third-row ejection mitigation) I have three young children (ages [xxx] , [xxx] , and a [xxx] ) in car seats and cannot avoid using the affected seating positions, including the third row. I contacted Hyundai motor America and my dealership and was advised: there is no remedy available, there are no safety protocols or usage guidelines, there is no next step or interim solution. I am concerned because my children are regularly using seating positions impacted by these recalls, and I have not been provided guidance on safe operation in the meantime. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I am concerned that there is no remedy for seat belts in 1/2 row and there is a risk of injury in the event of an accident in third row, I have two young children and feel there are no safe seating arrangements in the event of an accident and remedy identified.

Acceleration hesitation on numerous occasions. Seat belt recall, unresolved. Waiting for parts for over two months. Also waiting for dealership availability and also, I need an available loaner car. I have to drive my child around frequently for personal reasons. I use my third row and there's no remedy for the third row safety recall. The second row seat belts are constantly being stuck and inoperable.

I've been trying for 6 months to get my recalled seatbelts replaced as I complained about issues with the latching mechanism for years before the recall. The dealership does not have parts to repair the seatbelts and will not provide a reasonable time frame or loaner vehicle in the meantime. Please help. I am concerned for my kids' safety as they're coming unbuckled spontaneously as we drive down the road and both rear seats are recalled so there is no safe place for them to ride.

I am the owner of a 2025 Hyundai Palisade sel premium, purchased in April 2025, currently at approximately 19,000 miles. I am writing to formally report two open safety recalls on this vehicle for which no remedy is currently available: 1. Third-row side curtain airbag recall: affecting approximately 568,576 Hyundai Palisade vehicles (model years 2020–2025). The third-row side curtain airbags may not deploy correctly during a rollover, failing to prevent passenger ejection. This defect is a documented violation of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 226. As of the date of this complaint, Hyundai has not developed a fix. Owner notification letters are expected in late March 2026. In the interim, owners have been advised to avoid using the third row. 2. Seat belt recall: a separate seat belt recall is also open on this vehicle. I ordered the parts for this repair months ago and am still waiting. No repair has been completed to date. As a result, I am driving a brand-new vehicle with two unresolved safety defects and no timeline for repair on either. Because I have children who regularly occupy the third row, I am being forced to either expose them to a known safety risk or stop using the vehicle as intended. I am formally requesting that NHTSA: - investigate the urgency of Hyundai's timeline for developing a remedy - review whether Hyundai's interim guidance to owners is adequate given the severity of the fmvss 226 violation - consider whether a 'do not use third row' advisory should be formally and officially issued to all affected owners I purchased this vehicle in good faith as a family SUV. The inability to safely use the third row renders it unfit for its intended purpose. I urge NHTSA to apply pressure on Hyundai to expedite a remedy.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notifications of NHTSA campaign numbers: 25v607000 (seat belts) and 26v034000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The contact stated that while attempting to clean the windshield, the windshield washer fluid system failed to spray as intended to clean the windshield. The dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that parts were not yet available for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

I am the owner of a 2026 Hyundai Palisade, purchased new less than 60 days ago. This vehicle is currently subject to a safety recall involving the 2nd and 3rd row power seat assemblies, which reportedly lack sufficient anti-pinch protection during certain seat adjustment functions, including automatic power-folding (stow) and the one-touch tilt-and-slide (“walk-in”) feature. We experienced this defect firsthand in our vehicle. During operation of the second-row seat adjustment feature, the seat continued moving without adequate resistance detection or automatic stop, indicating a failure of the anti-pinch protection system. This created a hazardous condition where an occupant could become trapped or injured by the moving seat mechanism. This issue is especially concerning because these seat functions are located in areas of the vehicle intended for passengers and children. We have an infant who will be occupying these seating areas, and this defect presents a direct safety risk. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have also become aware that this defect has been linked to multiple injuries and the death of a young child. Additionally, Hyundai has issued a stop-sale on affected vehicles, yet current owners are still expected to operate them without a confirmed repair available. At this time, no remedy has been completed on my vehicle, and I do not believe it is safe to operate given the nature of the defect and its location within the passenger seating area. I was told to ask the dealership for a loaner, which the dealership does not have. Additionally, Hyundai said they would cover $60/day in rental fees. A similarly-sized SUV in our area rents at $210/day - a payment discrepancy we cannot afford.

There are two major safety recalls that have not been fixed by the manufacturer, making this vehicle unsafe to drive. 1) seatbelts come undone; no estimated timeline for parts to be available for repair 2) vehicle's interior cabin design may not provide sufficient protection for third-row occupants during a rollover; no estimated timeline or remedy available for repair.

Vehicle has been at dealership since March 21, 2026 due to multiple active safety recalls and unresolved repair issues. Dealer confirmed recalls involving defective seat belt buckle assemblies that may fail to properly latch and a separate recall involving third-row occupant protection/ejection mitigation safety standards. One recall currently has no available remedy or repair solution. Vehicle has remained out of service for an excessive amount of time waiting on backordered parts and unresolved safety repairs. Manufacturer and dealership have not provided a clear repair completion timeline. Dealer communication has been poor and calls often go unanswered. I no longer feel this vehicle is safe for my family or small children due to the nature of the recalls involving seat belt safety and occupant protection during crashes or rollovers. The safety defects and inability to timely repair the vehicle have caused significant hardship while continuing to make monthly lease payments for a vehicle that cannot safely be used. Dealer and manufacturer have confirmed the recalls and repair delays.

The contact owns a 2021 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the child in the second-row seat became trapped after the seat belt seized. The seat belt was cut to free the child. Additionally, the contact reported that the infotainment system was inoperable, failed to power on, and malfunctioned while driving, preventing the use of hands-free feature. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 148,000.

I then let the service writer know and he said “what do you mean?” I then explained to him that they were the old because they were dirty, with dust and dirt in the “press” release button.

Hyundai has opened an internal case, number 42429100 their only resolution is to leave the vehicle at a dealership and rent a car at my own expense. They have offered to give me a slight discount on a trade, but all comparable vehicles are under safety recalls as well. They have offered no effective solution and I have no manner to safely transport my family. The vehicle is subject to an active safety recall (NHTSA recall 26v034) for failure to meet federal ejection mitigation standards (fmvss 226) due to curtain airbag performance in the third row. According to the manufacturer, there is currently no available remedy for this condition. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealership, which confirmed that the recall is active and that no repair can be performed at this time. A separate seatbelt-related recall was completed during the inspection. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the recall notices. Because there is no available remedy and no timeline for repair, the vehicle cannot be restored to a condition that meets federal safety standards within a reasonable timeframe. This impacts the ability to safely transport occupants, particularly in scenarios involving side impact or rollover crashes where ejection mitigation is required. The manufacturer has not provided a functional resolution, such as a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation, and advised leaving the vehicle at the dealership without support. This leaves the owner without a safe and usable vehicle for normal family transportation.

I am submitting this formal complaint regarding an active safety recall affecting the seat belt system of my 2025 Hyundai Palisade xrt. Hyundai has acknowledged the existence of the defect. However, I was informed by a Hyundai customer service representative [xxx] ), under case number xxx, that there is currently no available remedy or repair for this recall. This situation is deeply concerning, as it involves a critical safety component intended to protect occupants in the event of a collision. Due to the nature of this defect, I do not feel safe operating the vehicle under any circumstances. Despite the acknowledged safety risk, Hyundai has not provided any adequate interim solution, such as a replacement vehicle or transportation assistance, leaving me effectively unable to safely use the vehicle. This places me in an unreasonable and unsafe position, as I am left with a vehicle that poses a potential risk to my safety without any available corrective action. I respectfully request that the national highway traffic safety administration investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that Hyundai provides a timely and effective remedy, as well as appropriate support to affected consumers.

There have been 2 safety recalls and I find that unacceptable for my family. What are my options for a buy back?.

I own a 2023 Hyundai Palisade limited that currently has confirmed active safety recalls affecting critical passenger safety systems, including the third-row side-curtain airbag recall and the second-row seat belt buckle recall. We have experienced firsthand the seat belts coming unbuckled during driving. These recalls affect hundreds of thousands of Palisade vehicles and involve defects where third-row airbags may not properly deploy in a crash and seat belt buckles may fail to latch correctly, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. Despite contacting my dealership, I have been given inconsistent information and no clear remedy timeline, leaving me with a vehicle that I reasonably believe is unsafe to operate and significantly diminished in value. I am seeking legal review regarding potential class action participation, consumer protection claims, or compensation for owning a vehicle with unresolved safety defects. At this time their only remedy offered is to swap the Palisade for a lender santa fe until it is repaired, this is something I have pressed for persistently to achieve.

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.

Seat belt in the 2nd row became spontaneously unbuckled while driving. Seat belt was attached to my daughter's car seat and was snug and latched for several weeks before it spontaneously came undone while driving on the highway.

Manufacturer recall number283 NHTSA recall number25v607000 I took my car to mcgovern Hyundai in arlington, MA to have the seat belt recall issue fixed. The recall was issued in September 2025. I was told that they cannot fix the issue because they do have the parts. I have children who ride in the backseat of my car everyday. It is unsafe and unacceptable for Hyundai not to have the parts to address this recall.

The driver seatbelt latch component failed. Unable to fasten the seat belt. This is a huge safety issue. It puts the driver and all passengers at risk. I received the recall in January due to having seatbelt latch issues on the second row. My kids safety was put at risk on the seatbelt latch not working properly on second row. I took my vehicle to dealership and it took couple of weeks for dealership to receive the part to due backorder. This is the second time that the driver seatbelt latch needs to be replaced within just a month and half. Huge safety issue. No warning icon for seatbelt latch failure. The software is also another recall that keeps need to be updating.

I've been trying to get defective seat belt replaced since December 2025 as we've had occurrences where the buckle will come unlatched. The dealer just says there are no parts available and it's been 4 months!.
