Hyundai Palisade problems
The Hyundai Palisade (Korean: 현대 팰리세이드) is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Hyundai Motor Company since late 2018, replacing the Maxcruz (also known as Santa Fe XL outside of South Korea) as the flagship SUV under the Hyundai brand.
The term palisade means a fence of defensive stakes or a series of coastal cliffs — the latter recalling the neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles or the nearly forty mile Hudson River palisade, running north from opposite Manhattan.
Overview
The Palisade debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 28, 2018, having been previewed by Hyundai's Grandmaster concept of June 2018. The Palisade is Hyundai's largest passenger vehicle to date, measuring 4,980 mm (196.1 in) long with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm (114.2 in) inches. It has 21 cu ft (595 L) of cargo space behind the third row and 87 cu ft (2,464 L) with both rows folded down. Like its predecessor, the Palisade features three rows of seating, with seating for up to eight passengers when equipped with a second-row bench seat or seven passengers with the optional second-row captain seat.
The vehicle rated a coefficient drag of 0.33, achieved with an optimised front cooling area with extended internal air guide, aerodynamic underside panels with full front and centre underbody covers, and rear wheel aero deflectors.
Introduction of the right-hand drive model started in December 2020 in Australia and Indonesia. CKD assembly in Russia started in 2020 by Avtotor for domestic sales.

Common Hyundai Palisade problems
Common Problems with the Hyundai Palisade:
- Excessive Vibrations and Shaking: Several owners have complained about increased vibrations while driving their Palisade, particularly at higher speeds around 65 mph. This issue seems present in different models, including the 2022 model year.
- Windshield Cracks Easily: The 2020 Hyundai Palisade has the most overall complaints, and the worst category is windows/windshield problems. The most-reported problem is also with the 2020 Hyundai Palisade for windshield cracks easily, with an average cost to fix of $1,600 and an average mileage of 14,000 mi.
- Cracked Windshield With No Impact: The 2021 Palisade has also been reported to have cracked windshields with no apparent impact, with an average cost to fix of $1,600 and an average mileage of 8,000 mi.
- Rodents Chewed Wires Due To Soy Based Wiring: The 2021 Palisade has been reported to have rodents chewing on wires due to soy-based wiring, with an average cost to fix of $3,200 and an average mileage of 6,000 mi.
- Engine Related Problems: Reported issues for the 2022 Hyundai Palisade include cracking windshield and engine-related problems.
- Poor Interior Design: The 2022 Hyundai Palisade has been reported to have a poor interior design, with the cup holder in the same area as the wireless charger, which can cause spills to hit the charging area, USB, and wire housing. The paint is also reported to be thin and chipping away within a week or two of highway use.
- Engine Overheating Warning: Some 2022 Hyundai Palisade owners have reported getting an engine overheating warning every time they drive over 55 mph.
- Reverse Camera and Sensor Issues: The reverse camera on some 2022 Hyundai Palisade models doesn't show what's behind the car, instead showing what's in front of it. The sensors indicating a collision also keep going off at random, causing the brakes to lock up.
- Wind Noise: Some owners have reported excessive wind noise after going 40 mph and above, making the ride unbearable at times.
- Steering Problem: Some 2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited Edition owners have reported a drift to the right whenever the car is driven, which has not been fixed despite multiple attempts by the dealer.
It's important to note that not all Hyundai Palisade vehicles will experience these issues, and many owners have reported positive experiences with the vehicle. However, these are some of the common problems that have been reported by owners of this car.
Does the Hyundai Palisade have any issues?
Hyundai has issued a safety recall that applies it over 4,000 units of the Palisade built during the 2024 model year. The SUVs included in the campaign could experience a valve spring failure, a problem that can cause major engine damage including puncturing a hole in the block.
What year of Palisade to avoid?
If you're interested in the Hyundai Palisade, it's a good idea to be familiar with the worst years so you can stay away from them. We recommend keeping clear of the 2020 and 2021 years if at all possible. They have the most customer complaints and will cost you an excessive amount to keep in one piece.
How reliable are Hyundai Palisades?

Hyundai Palisade 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-18
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: KM8R4DGE4PU
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: I was approaching a stop sign, slowing down to around ~20 mph, then gently applied the brakes. All of a sudden, the car stared to lurch forward and the steering wheel shuddered violently as the ABS braking appeared to kick in. As the brakes were applied, the vehicle kept bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and it took almost twice as long to stop than it should have. There was a vehicle in front of me and my vehicle was a foot from rear-ending that car despite me slowing in advance and attempting to brake gently. The collision warning system kicked in and I suspect that the vehicle stopped itself, even though I was firmly holding the brake pedal down. My wife experienced te identical situation a week later, so this is becoming very concerning. A quick search on the internet has revealed that many other 2023 & 2024 model year have experienced the same issues, and apparently Hyundai USA is aware of the issue, but do not have a solution to fix it yet.

- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: When driving the car normally suddenly there was an extremely loud sound above us. After pulling off the road and inspecting the vehicle we saw that the front sunroof had shattered. Fortunately the bottom cover had been closed else the glass would have fallen on the driver and passengers and very well could have caused an accident and/or injuries. The remaining glass was bowed upwards and there wasn't any foreign objects inside the roof. At the time of the incident there were no other vehicles around us nor were we under any trees or highway structure. We brought the car to the dealer who claimed that something must have impacted the sunroof however that is not the case. The sunroof glass spontaneously just shattered without any warning. There had been no cracks or chips in the sunroof glass at the time.

I've seen some bad reviews here, but after owning my 23 Palisade Calligraphy for about 10 months, I love it even more than when I first bought it. It has a great highway ride and plenty of features for the money. The wind noise problems that were present in the first year have been resolved, and mine is now very quiet. For those who complain about the ride, it's worth checking the air pressure. Mine had 40 lbs when it should have been 35. While it may not be the most thrilling ride, it's a fantastic 3-row family vehicle with great power that allows you to take those exit ramps with some speed. The only visit I've had to the dealer was for a quick and free oil change and tire rotation. I encourage you to drive one for yourself and see that it's one of the best values in 3-row SUVs. Additionally, there are plenty of reviews out there for 3-row SUVs, so be sure to look at them all. Don't be fooled by those that prioritize handling over models that are spacious and reliable. Consider why you want a 3-row vehicle, and I believe you'll find that the Palisade and the Telluride should be at the top of your list.

I've been driving the Palisade for about two weeks now and have already put around 1000 miles on it. Compared to my other cars, a Porsche Cayenne and Porsche Boxster, this vehicle is simply awesome. I highly recommend getting the Calligraphy trim, which is essentially last year's limited edition with some minor changes. The car drives really well and the engine is powerful enough, unlike some of the other cars we were considering such as the 2022 Acura MDX. The Palisade feels luxurious yet practical for family use. The ride is smooth and comfortable, and the brakes are responsive. The car is packed with features, including pretty decent autonomous cruise control (with hands on wheel). The stereo sounds good, although it may not match the quality of a Bose, Burmester, or B&O. However, once properly configured, it's more than adequate. Some owners have complained about wind and road noise, but I haven't experienced any issues with that. The second and third rows are very spacious, although I do wish the upper trims had the option for a bench seat. The space behind the third row is great and easily fits a stroller. There are a few minor things we don't like, such as the lack of a factory hitch (which costs $800 to install at the dealership), no wireless carplay on upper trims, and the stop hold feature needing to be engaged every time you turn on the car. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our purchase and highly recommend the Palisade. **Update 3/9/21: A few more minor issues to note: (1) the fuel tank is small, so be prepared to fill up often, (2) the top end doesn't have dimming side mirrors, which could be a deal breaker if you drive at night, and (3) the car doesn't have power folding mirrors. Despite these minor shortcomings, we still highly recommend the Palisade.

Are you having problems with your Hyundai Palisade?

I would like to share my experience with the 2020 Hyundai Palisade. Unfortunately, I have encountered some issues with wind noise and smell, which I found to be a bit frustrating. I had to visit the dealer multiple times for the same problem with the service engine light before reaching 1400 miles. However, I believe that these issues are not representative of the quality of the product as a whole. Although I had some difficulties with the corporate representative assigned to me, I am hopeful that the company will take steps to address these issues. Overall, I think that Hyundai is a good company and I would recommend their products.

I purchased a 2022 Palisade with 31k miles. Unfortunately, I experienced a leak in the seam of my radiator which left me stranded on the side of the road. Although the dealership fixed the issue, it reoccurred a week later. Additionally, I encountered a minor problem with the back seat vent. While the car has some impressive features, my experience has led me to conclude that it is not a reliable vehicle. As a result, I will not be purchasing another Hyundai Palisade.

Final update 3/24: Hi there! We wanted to let you know that we recently made the decision to trade in our 2022 Palisade SEL. While we initially thought it would be a good fit for us, we found that it just wasn't as safe or comfortable as we had hoped. Unfortunately, we experienced some issues with the alignment of the rear wheel, which caused the car to feel unstable and uncomfortable. Additionally, the seats lost their support over time, making the ride even bumpier. We also noticed that the road and wind noise were quite loud, and the car was difficult to control in snowy conditions. While the Palisade may not be the right fit for us, we did find that the QX50 was a much more satisfying experience. We hope this information is helpful to you! Original review: We had a less than ideal experience with the 2022 Palisade SEL. The ride was quite bumpy and noisy, and we found it difficult to control in snowy conditions. While it did have a spacious interior, we ultimately found it to be lacking in comparison to other vehicles in its class. Thanks for reading!The 3x5 cement board still provides ample space, but unfortunately, it's not enough for a 4x8 piece of drywall. On the bright side, the transmission shifting is smooth and we haven't encountered any issues in the past sixteen months, except for the pull to the right which has been present since factory delivery and continues even after a front end alignment. However, the steering being off level makes driving a tiring experience. It's important to note that the Palisade is not a luxury car like a Lexus, Infiniti or Audi, but if you're used to a Ford Focus or Chevy Spark, you'll definitely enjoy the upgrade. Currently, we are in the process of selling the vehicle after sixteen months.

The 2023 Palisade Ultimate Caligraphy has some great features, but also some drawbacks. On the positive side, it is roomy and luxurious, with heated seats in the front and middle rows, adaptable cruise control, and excellent 360 camera views. However, there are some negative aspects to consider. For example, it is not possible to lock the vehicle if you manually start it, and in extremely cold temperatures of -40 to -50 degrees, the 10-minute intervals for starting the vehicle are not sufficient. It is frustrating that the designers of this product did not take into account the harsh Canadian winters. I have previously raised this issue when I purchased my first Palisade in 2019, but unfortunately, it seems that the technical team has been unable or unwilling to make this minor change. Hopefully, they will address this issue in the future.
Ole Bednar 2025-03-21

Loaded with features at a price well below the competition. Although, it is important to note that there have been some electronic glitches. The safety systems have been known to brake randomly and accelerate at a stop light on their own, which can be concerning. In the first 20k miles, there were some issues with the rear differential, AWD system, and rear suspension, but they were promptly addressed and resolved.
