2020 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 2020 Hyundai Palisade problems
The Hyundai Palisade, a midsize SUV, has been a popular choice for many consumers since its release in 2020. However, as with any vehicle, there have been reported issues and complaints from owners. This article will focus on the common engine problems found in the 2020 Hyundai Palisade, based on the search results provided.
Excessive Oil Consumption: One of the most common engine problems reported by 2020 Hyundai Palisade owners is excessive oil consumption. This issue has affected over 2 million Kia/Hyundai vehicle owners, leading to a lawsuit. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to engine wear or failure, making constant monitoring and immediate action essential to prevent costly repairs.
Excessive Vibrations and Shaking: Another issue reported by Hyundai Palisade owners is increased vibrations while driving. For instance, a thread from the Palisade forums discusses an issue with the Hyundai Palisade experiencing vibrations at higher speeds, specifically around 65 mph. This issue seems present in different models, including the 2022 model year.
While the search results provide information on these two engine problems, it is important to note that the Hyundai Palisade has also had issues with other components, such as the windshield, brake master cylinder, instrument cluster, and windshield wiper motor
. However, these issues are not directly related to the engine and are therefore not discussed in detail in this article.
In conclusion, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade has faced engine problems, with excessive oil consumption and vibrations being the most commonly reported issues. These problems can lead to costly repairs and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly. It is crucial for Palisade owners to be aware of these issues and monitor their vehicles for any signs of trouble.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-21
- VIN: KM8R24HE1LU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while attempting to stat the vehicle, the instrument panel was inoperable. The contact stated that the screen on the instrument panel appeared blank with no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the instrument cluster had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,237.
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-09
- VIN: KM8R5DHE5LU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: My 2020 Hyundai Palisade has been a lemon from the beginning with numerous issues including a whistling sound when driving, a recalled trailer hitch known to cause fires, paint issues, rim paint issues etc… But the worst offender is the oil consumption issues. A few months ago I thought something was wrong with my transmission so I took my car to the dealership. I also had an oil change scheduled-which I get on time every time. It turns out that, in 7,000 miles (Hyundai recommends 7,500-10,000 miles between oil changes in their manual) I was down 5 quarts of oil-there were no leaks, my engine was using up the oil. My car only holds 6.9 quarts so I was almost out of oil which was causing driving issues including lack of power when starting up at lights, surging and bucking when stopping etc. The dealer refilled my car and told me to come back in 1000 miles. If my car used up more than 1qt of oil they would submit the problem to Hyundai. When I came back in 1000 miles I hadn’t lost much oil so I was sent on my way. In the next 1200 miles I was watching my oil levels closely. I took it into the dealership when it looked low and they put in 3/4qt of oil. In the next 1100 miles I took it in and they added almost 1qt of oil. Now I am starting the oil consumption process again. But honestly the requirement of being down 1 full qt in 1000miles in crazy. I would have to top off my car every 1000 miles just to be safe. And if I let it go for 2,000 or 3,000 miles my engine could seize on the freeway with my family in the car causing a terrible accident. Once I am down the 1qt/1000 miles Hyundai does an engine clean out. According to my dealership that may or may not work. Then I have to come in after 1000 more miles to check oil consumption. If the clean out didn’t work I am finally allowed to get an engine replacement. I have 2 warranties on this car and nothing applies until I get to 1qt/1000miles. This is unsafe, time consuming and a known EDI engine issue
SUSPENSION,WHEELS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-16
- VIN: KM8R54HE0LU
- Components: SUSPENSION,WHEELS
- Summary: The rear shocks on my vehicle were checked and the left rear is requiring replacement at approximately 33K miles. The leakage was gradual and after the ride became noticeably rough, I took it for diagnosis at Safford Brown in Fairfax, VA. A failed left rear shock was confirmed. I am replacing to make the ride bearable, and in researching the issue, learned of a TSB for my model year issued by Hyundai for rear shock problems. I will request that the dealer keep the bad components if needed for further action to be pursued with Hyundai. The service advisor also noted very uneven wear on three tires which I believe to be directly caused by the gradual failure of the shock. An alignment was recommended. I have been advised by the service advisor and technician that the right rear shock is intact and does not require replacement at this time.
STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-04
- VIN: KM8R24HE1LU
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

It had 15 codes activated, all dashboard lights were lit and safety messages showed up, while driving. No power steering, emergency brakes were activated, transmission wouldn't change, a/c stopped working, temperature and tachometer were erratic. It is very scary because it happens while driving and an accident is imminent.

SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-28
- VIN: KM8R5DHE6LU
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: The rear shocks have failed multiple times on my vehicle. The original shocks failed under 50k miles. I had them replaced on February 14 with OEM shocks at the dealership. The replacement rear driver side shock began leaking last week, approximately 6.5 months after install. It is currently available for inspection upon request. Without properly working shocks, the car is more difficult to control over rough roads, and creates a safety hazard for myself and others. The original shock issue that was corrected in February was reproduced by the dealer and an independent service center. The new problem is self diagnosed, but is very evident when looking at part and surrounding area (fluid leaking from the shock and dirtying the surrounding parts). The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or other parties. There were no symptoms of the problem prior to failure.

- VIN: KM8R5DHE9LU
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: My driver seat belt has randomly popped off while driving it has happened 4 times since I bought this used 2020 palisade at the end of February it’s very scary and i don’t feel safe in this car.

POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-07
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KM8R14HE7LU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
- Summary: I had just pulled into a (handicapped) parking space at my bank in Marana Az. as I prepared to stop with the brake still depressed, the car suddenly surged, with the tach going to 5000rpm. The vehicle jumped the sidewalk (with rear wheels making drag marks on the sidewalk. Vehicle shot up the slight rise , hit and demolished a concrete bench and some plants and was heading toward the main entrance when I shut the engine off with the ignition key. The car stopped less than 10 feet from the bank entrance. the car came close to going through the entrance shattering the glass doors and possibly injuring bank customers and employees. There was no warning, but this car has had 3 or 4 sudden engine surges before - about one every 1 1/2 years. Hyundai service has checked and denied any problems. On line queries indicate the surging problems are not uncommon. They happen without warning and result in serious injury and damage to people and property. Hyundai is stonewalling. Other drivers have similar events occur for sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) and suggest problems with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) including throttle position sensors. Our Palisade has less than 40,000 miles on it and has been well maintained, but Hyundai people refuse to acknowledge any problems - my wife and I consider that this car is a potential death machine.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-28
- VIN: KM8R54HE3LU
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: On Friday 6/28/24 I turned my vehicle on to drive to lunch. I put the vehicle in drive and started to move forward out of my parking spot when the following errors flashed on my dashboard in succession: "Check Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist System", "Check Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System", and "Check High Beam Assist System" and then the steering wheel locked while the vehicle was still moving forward. I put the vehicle in park, turned it off, turned it back on and there were no problems. On Saturday 6/29/24, the same series of events happened in the evening when turning the vehicle on from park. On Sunday 6/30/24 I turned the vehicle on in the morning and backed out of my driveway. When I put it in drive and started going down the road the same series of events happened again. This time, it did not resolved when I turned the vehicle off then back on, but happened 7-8 times in succession. The vehicle was not driven all day and when I turned it back on Sunday evening it seemed fine. I drove across town to meet a friend, put the vehicle in park to wait, then in drive (so it had been running for approx 30 minutes) and the issue happened again. On Monday 7/1/24 I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and the issue happened to the tow truck driver as he was getting the vehicle off of the truck. On Friday 7/5/24 I called the dealership and they have "verified my concern" but are not sure why it is happening. I am now waiting to hear back from them on this issue.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-02
- VIN: KM8R5DHE1LU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: UNKNOWN The sunroof shattered as we were driving down the interstate. To our knowledge nothing hit the sunroof to make it shatter. We did not see any rocks or debris. This is a safety issue as if we wouldn’t have had the inside shade closed we would have been showered with glass while driving at highway speeds and could have been injured.
SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-03
- VIN: KM8R3DHE9LU
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: The seatbelts in the second passenger captains chairs will appear to be latched/locked in, and then when driving will unlatch. We have our daughters tug on them to assure proper locking and they will appear locked and still come unlatched frequently while we are driving. This problem has been going on and off since we owned the vehicle. It definitely puts the safety of our children at risk as they seatbelts clearly have a defect and I'm scared to think what would happen if this occurred during a car wreck. It often cannot be reproduced, which is why we haven't taken it to a dealer. There's no rhyme or reason as to when/why it occurs. It probably happens 3-4 times per month. In reading on-line forums with other owners of this vehicle, dealers are not willing to fix it due to its inconsistency. The seatbelts warning light does not always come on when this happens.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-04
- VIN: KM8R5DHE4LU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My 2020 Hyundai Palisade slipped into neutral while slowing down in traffic. Was able to quickly pull over, brake and put back into drive.

- VIN: KM8R44HEXLU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Due to a recall that Hyundai has not fully resolved, I am unable to use the OEM tow hitch that I paid for when I purchased my car because there is not an updated fuse for the trailer hitch. Hence, trailers won't have lights, making them illegal and unsafe. The Hyundai dealership "resolved" the recall by removing the fuse several months ago, but never replaced it. Furthermore, the dealership never told me that I was unable to use the tow hitch. I was only told that the recall was resolved.

We searched for months for an SUV that would meet our family's needs, and we were thrilled to find that the Hyundai Palisade Limited exceeded our expectations! We already owned a 2011 Hyundai Equus and loved the luxurious look and ride, and the Palisade gave us that and so much more. We've been driving ours since October 2019 with no issues, and we couldn't be happier!
-
We were looking for a new midsize SUV and test drove the Lincoln Aviator, Kia Telluride, and Hyundai Palisade. After trying them all, we decided on the Palisade over the Kia. Although the Aviator was very plush, it couldn't match the ride comfort of the Palisade. Additionally, it was much more expensive than both the Palisade and the Kia. The Palisade had the same ride characteristics as the Telluride, but we preferred its more luxurious interior and intuitive control layout. The Palisade's exterior design also appealed to us more, as it had a more upscale look. Ultimately, we chose the Palisade for its superior interior, where we will be spending most of our driving time.
-
This vehicle has everything you need for under $50,000, including the best warranties and services. The price also includes 3 years of oil changes, tire rotations, and car washes.
-
This is definitely an amazing vehicle! I would definitely buy it again. I researched and test drove every SUV in this class of 3rd rows, including some “above” class models. However, I have no regrets buying this vehicle at all. It drives like a dream (think FUN!), has plenty of power, space, comfort, and tech. It is an absolutely balanced vehicle in every way. Mine is smooth and tight. I got the SEL AWD w/ Convenience Pkg, which is the best value in the line-up. I absolutely love this car! I still make up reasons to go drive it...
-
The Palisade is a great design and very well laid out SUV. The ride is very comfortable and handles nicely. All of the electronic options work well. I especially like the adaptive cruise control.

Are you having problems with your 2020 Hyundai Palisade?
Brennon Ondricka 2025-01-04
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to share my experience with the Palisade. After conducting extensive research, I decided to purchase this vehicle and it did not disappoint! The drive is smooth and the cabin is incredibly quiet. The car has plenty of power and the technology is top-notch. I highly recommend taking a test drive and experiencing it for yourself. However, I did experience some wind noise issues that Hyundai was unable to address, which ultimately led me to sell the car. If you do decide to purchase the Palisade, I recommend testing it on a windy day to ensure it meets your needs.
Dan Gutkowski 2025-01-04
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share my experience with my 2020 Limited, which I purchased in June 2020. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing some wind and whistling noise in the cabin, which seems to be a common issue with this model and the 2019 version. I understand that Hyundai issued a TSB regarding this issue in 2019, but I was disappointed to learn that the local dealership informed me that there is currently no solution available to correct the problem. Despite this issue, I still believe that the vehicle is otherwise fine. However, I may consider going back to my Toyota Highlander in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Juvenal Boehm 2024-08-19
My wife and I recently purchased a 2020 Hyundai Palisade after our 2016 Kia Soul gave out. We were impressed with the luxurious features and ample seating for our whole family. However, as a tall man, I did find the Palisade to be a bit cramped compared to our old Kia Soul. It seems that many new cars are designed with a focus on sporty driving experiences, which isn't always what families need. Despite this, I am pleased with the high level trim and the warranty that comes with the Palisade. I am also impressed with the Atkinson cycle engine, which returns decent gas mileage for a larger vehicle, even if it does sound a bit odd at idle.

I visited two different dealerships and test drove the SUVs of different trims. In my experience, both had similar features. The mirrors are now power folding, which is a great addition to a higher-end SUV. However, I did not like the push button selector for transmission and the wind noise was a bit of a bother. I have owned a Sonata in 2011, two Kia Optimas, and now a 2018 Kia Sorento, and all of them have had wind noise issues. Unfortunately, the Sorento has some annoying quirks, which is why I have decided to switch to a different brand. I test drove the Palisade and the Telluride, but I found that they lacked the power I was looking for when passing. There was a slight stutter or delay, and it seemed like the transmission was struggling when I tried to accelerate. The interior was nice, but there was no designated space to store sunglasses or ink pens. On the bright side, I did appreciate the power control for the rear seats, even though I would hardly use them. There wasn't a lot of storage space behind the third row, but that's not a big issue for me since I would have them folded down most of the time, just like I do with my Sorento. Overall, the value is great, but I'm hoping to see some improvements in the next generation.

Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my recent purchase. Unfortunately, I've had some trouble with it. It's been spending more time at the dealership than in my driveway. There's a strange noise coming from the driver's door when the AC or defrost is on high, and despite their efforts to fix it by changing door seals and adjusting the door, it hasn't been resolved yet. I'm feeling quite disappointed about this.
