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.

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.

Let me start by saying that I have had my eye on this vehicle ever since it hit the market in 2020. Finally, in late March 2022, I pulled the trigger and took delivery of a 2022 Calligraphy FWD. I have driven it from Dallas to Austin to San Antonio, and I must say that this vehicle is the best I have ever driven and owned! While I have read about the road noise, such as from the tires, I believe that Hyundai needs to rethink their stock tires on their high-end vehicles. Therefore, I decided to upgrade to the Michelin LTX Defender Tires - 24550R20's. I have had Michelin's on every vehicle I have owned, and they have never disappointed me! I purchased this vehicle from Bob Stallings Hyundai in Dallas, TX, and they did not charge me over MSRP nor up-charge the MSRP price. It was a pleasant buying experience from them. I strongly recommend this vehicle, which is the best in its class.

Vehicle year: 2020
For the past 15 years, we have exclusively owned German luxury cars. As our BMW X5 approached 100K miles, I began researching new vehicles. I read reviews and consulted Consumer Reports to decide whether to stick with BMW, opt for the more conservative Mercedes, or try the highly rated Volvo XC 90. All of these options were priced at $70K+. Then, I stumbled upon the new Hyundai Palisade. I was intrigued by the impressive reviews and checked how Hyundai fared on Consumer Reports and JD Powers. Although I was initially hesitant about owning a brand that is not typically associated with luxury, I convinced my wife to give it a try. After searching for weeks, I found a dealer with the 4WD Palisade Limited and bought it out-of-state. We have now owned it for 2 months and my wife absolutely loves it! The interior is beautifully appointed and the ergonomics of the dash, buttons, and gauges are superb. Everything is logically designed and fairly intuitive to use, including the infotainment system and the settings menu. The Napa leather seats are very supportive and extremely comfortable. Driving the Palisade is a highly pleasurable experience. It is luxuriously smooth, very quiet, and the V6 has more than adequate power for most driving situations. The transmission is silky and very well matched to the engine. Although the steering could be a bit tighter in the Comfort mode, it's not a major issue. The Palisade may not corner like an X5, but it is very stable in turns with very little body roll.It's so spacious inside! You'll love the luxurious comfort of the front bucket seats and middle row captain seats, which can accommodate up to four people. Even though we don't use the rear row often, it's great to have the extra space for packing on trips or letting our furry friend stretch out. Speaking of our dog, he gives the ride 5 barks! Overall, I highly recommend the Palisade to anyone looking for a luxurious and high-quality mid-size SUV. Take it for a spin and see for yourself - I'm confident you'll be impressed with its value.

Like some other reviewers, I found that the Palisade has a lot of safety features that can sometimes be a bit intrusive during normal driving. For example, the adaptive cruise control can slow the car down too much when you're trying to overtake, and the stop-start feature can be a bit jerky when the engine restarts. However, I appreciate that there is a button to turn off the stop-start feature, even if you have to do it every time you start the car. The auto-dimming headlights are a nice feature, but it's a shame that you have to activate them every time you turn on the car. It would be great if they could be set to activate automatically. One thing that I find disappointing is that the Palisade doesn't come with power folding mirrors, even on the Limited model. However, there are some features that I absolutely love, such as the heads-up display that shows all the important information right in front of you, and the turn signals that turn your tach into a camera view when you turn left and your MPH gauge into a camera view when you turn right. These features are very handy and make driving the Palisade a pleasure.This feature is only available on the Limited and I give it a 10! Seating is comfortable all around and there are enough cup holders and USB charging ports for 8 plus people. The HVAC is very good and keeps temperatures in the cabin consistent throughout. The LED headlights are an absolute dream and shine brighter than my BMW adaptive HIDs which I thought at the time could never be beaten...these beat it by a lot. The engine is only adequate for the size and heft of this vehicle and I'm hoping future models will incorporate a turbo version of this engine. It needs it, especially if you're going to tow anything close to its rated 5000# towing capacity. That being said, you won't find a more luxurious SUV at this price point anywhere. I shopped the new 2020 Explorer ($62K!!), Toyota Highlander ($48K) and Chevy Traverse ($52K). I also looked at the sister of the Palisade, Telluride, but I preferred the Palisade interior and exterior design a little bit more. One last parting concern about this vehicle is a TSB that just came out for the prop shaft in the AWD models. Unfortunately, my Palisade has the dreaded

Researched for a proper vehicle to fit my family's needs for a couple of months. After reviewing countless 3rd row SUV's, the Palisade was always at the top of my list. Once I was able to find a Palisade to physically review and test out, the decision was clear. I love most everything about it! In fact, I loved it so much that I have one on order for my wife.

I loved the car when we first got it and I still do for the nice seasons. However, if you live in an area with cold weather, it may not be the best fit for you. Unfortunately, I had some trouble with customer service. The front side mirror defroster runs off the rear defroster and takes a while to work. Additionally, the front windshield defroster is located in the middle of the dash and takes a long time to clear the windshield. As the wipers are tucked under the hood, they are difficult to access. If there is even a little bit of snow on your windshield, the wipers do not have enough power to work and the defroster is not placed in the best position to help melt the snow. It can be frustrating to drive down the road with wipers that don't work because of heavy snow. Also, I noticed that the interior vent system does not fully close even when you turn off the heat or air. It continues to blow air at whatever temperature you previously had set. I have decided to trade this car in, but unfortunately, I will probably take a big loss.

I purchased a 2024 Palisade limited in late December 2023. Upon arrival at home, I noticed that the driver's seat did not automatically extend upon exit, and that it would go forward, but did not want to extend backwards. I immediately took it back to the dealership the next day. The service team ordered a new switch for the seat and scheduled an appointment for me. Today (Jan 29 - over 4 weeks later), the dealer installed the new switch, but unfortunately, the seat still did not work. However, they informed me that they are working on a solution and will call me as soon as they figure out what is wrong. Although this is an inconvenience, I am grateful that they provided me with a loaner vehicle. I am confident that the dealership will resolve the issue with my brand new $50,000 vehicle in a timely and satisfactory manner.

In August 2022, I purchased the 2023 Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy. However, in October 2022, I experienced a dangerous issue while driving on a highway with oncoming traffic. Despite having plenty of time, the car would not accelerate beyond 20 mph, and the RPM quickly shot up to 4000 RPM. This issue persisted throughout the Fall and only resolved when the temperatures warmed up in the following Spring of 2023. Despite my efforts to get it resolved, the service techs were unable to diagnose the issue, and Hyundai refused to cover any costs. If anyone else has experienced this issue, please let me know if you were able to resolve it.
