Potential Consequences:
TSB # MC-10207814-0001 I Have already had this repaired once, in 2023 and the other in 2024. My vehicle is now out of warranty, and Hyundai won't do anything for this fix. Looking online, there are plenty other complaints regarding the rattling noise experienced with this issue. I believe this should become a recall, and all vehicles on the road should be able to get this replaced in or out of warranty.

SUSPENSION
Potential Consequences:
- Self leveling rear shocks failed at 21,000 miles leading to dangerous instability on the highway. - The problem was ignored by my primary Hyundai dealer but identified by another and the shocks were replaced. Hyundai Corporate was of no help. - There are numerous reports of self leveling rear shock failures on the higher Hyundai Palisade trim levels. See on line chat forums; Google "Hyundai Palisade Rear Shck Failures". - Hyundai has failed to correct this safety issue and continues to manufacture and offer their self leveling rear shocks on certain model trims. This is a safety problem requiring an investigation by the NTSB. - As a note, 40 per cent of the writers mileage is highway, and there were no heavy loads or abusive driving practices.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When driving our brakes are spongy, downhill braking control gets disabled and tells us to control our speed even when going speed limit and below. Increased braking distance is needed, brakes are to the floor. When taken in for this concern we were met with, no issues noted on inspection. The brakes are getting worse and we feel as though this is a hazard for driving.

My 2020 vehicle stopped on me while I was driving on the interstate! Beforehand, I had no issues with the vehicle driving or otherwise. The alternator has gone out on it! There was no prior warning. It just stopped while I was driving and I was stranded for hours! I’m a female. It’s costing me hundreds of dollars for a fairly new car!

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Over the past 5 years, this vehicle has experienced three major powertrain failures: two complete transmission failures and, most recently, a catastrophic engine failure. The most recent issue involved the engine burning excessive oil without warning. While my wife was driving downhill, the vehicle shut off completely, causing a total loss of power steering and braking. She was barely able to get it safely to the side of the road. It was a serious safety risk, especially with children in the vehicle. Each failure has occurred well before it should in terms of mileage, and despite repairs, the issues continue. After this third failure, Hyundai offered to cover only 50% of the repair costs—which seems to acknowledge some degree of corporate responsibility—but we declined, as this is a relatively new vehicle and the problem is clearly systemic. We paid the second total transmission replacement completely out of pocket. A quick Google search and outreach to social media revealed that hundreds of Hyundai owners (across multiple models from this era) are experiencing very similar engine issues, many with official recalls for consumption, but there being no official recall or widespread support for Palisade owners. Personal stories suggest a clear pattern. The original dealership that sold the vehicle listed it as Certified Pre-Owned, but has since changed ownership and retains no records, which has made verifying the warranty status impossible. Hyundai corporate and customer service have been extremely difficult to work with—there are multiple active case numbers, no internal communication, and the local dealership doesn’t coordinate with national reps. This vehicle has spent over 100 days in service across these failures. I’ve tried every route available—dealership, corporate support, and online forums. The community is unsafe, and without broader action, other families could be at risk.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Hello, I have a 2020 Hyundai Palisade that was bought last year in 2024. It’s had no issues with the engine up until approximately the last 2 weeks with oil consumption and noises from the engine rattling. I contacted the dealership to get it checked out and on the way there it caught fire. The engine died and almost all of the oil leaked out. The engine block now has a hole in it, so it is unable to be driven. My husband was driving and had just had surgery. Thankfully I was driving in a separate vehicle with my kids in case something like this happened. It has been sitting at the dealership since the 28th of May. The dealership inspected it and said there is no known cause at this time. The dealership also said they unfortunately can’t do anything. I called my insurance and they said the only thing they can cover is the damages caused by the fire. The estimate amount to fix it is 13K. But I believe the engine malfunctioned and was already having problems without my knowledge of it. There were no warning lights or alerts stating there were any problems with the vehicle. I also do know there is a class action lawsuit happening because of the 2020 Hyundai Palisades.

In short, the transmission has been replaced, the fuel injectors and other components. After that gets fixed they are saying we need a whole new engine and hyundai with only a pay a portion of it. We did the oil consumption test and it failed. The car was down for almost two months and they want us to pay 6k as our part. This is absolutely ridiculous and this seems to have been a known issue.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
In short, the transmission has been replaced, the fuel injectors and other components. After that gets fixed they are saying we need a whole new engine and hyundai with only a pay a portion of it. We did the oil consumption test and it failed. The car was down for almost two months and they want us to pay 6k as our part. This is absolutely ridiculous and this seems to have been a known issue.
Corrective Action:

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
We have a a reoccurring issue of a gear selector malfunction warning popping up on the dash. When this happens it is at random and causes the vehicle to forcibly put the car in park. The heavy concern is that it happens when the car is in motion. Forst few times it happened when backing out of a parking spot. Most recently it happened while driving out of our neighborhood. My concern is that this could potentially happen during a time in which speeds are higher and cause a wreck. We have taken the vehicle to Hyundai dealership locally and the code for the issue will not show so they send us home because they are not able to pinpoint the exact problem. We have continued use of the vehicle because when this does happen we have been able to cycle the car off and on and it goes back to normal and all warnings are cleared..... this cannot be normal a nd I just don't wish to find out what happens when it does this at a higher rate of speed.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The speedometer occasionally would not work. Typically all other dash features would and I could get speed through digital reading. Today, none of the dash reading work. My speedometer has the dial at 155. The digital reads 0, gas shows E, miles to empty remained at 260 for the over 10 mile drive, ramps as well as coolant didn’t register and were at 0 and C. This is a hazard as it is a safety requirement to follow the speed limit when driving. This placed myself and others in danger. You are welcome to inspect this. When I have called the dealer previously for this concern, I was told that this would need to be covered by myself. A simple internet search shows that this is a more common issue than it should be.
