SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The car exhibited an inability to effectively brake in a very common situation (braking when traveling at low speeds on slightly bumpy ground). I was approaching the end of our driveway and started to apply the brakes as I passed over some slightly bumpy ground asphalt. The car lurched forward repeatedly as the brakes were applied, bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and taking twice as long to stop than it should have; I was a couple of feet from entering the roadway despite beginning to break with plenty of time to stop.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Brake/traction system inoperable and fails to properly engage during normal driving conditions with variations ranging from: minimally uneven, minimally wet or minimally bumpy surface. When applying the brakes in these circumstances, the vehicle shakes violently while continuing to proceed forward. This has happened when braking at all speeds and as low as under 20mph. My family has narrowly escaped injury and death on multiple seperate occasions from running off of the road, to rear ending another vehicle, to sliding up through busy traffic intersections. We feel unsafe to drive/ride in this vehicle as we feel like we are playing Russian Roulette. This issue was previously communicated to the service dept at local Hyundai dealership but they were not able to find/replicate issue. I have videos now for proof. There have been no warning lights or other messages that would identify any issue with the vehicle.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
On December 19th at about 5pm, I was pulling into a gas station driving at about 10-15 MPH when my brakes locked up and the car started shaking. It felt like the anti lock braking system was activated and I did not have full braking control of the vehicle. I was driving slow enough that the vehicle did finally come to a complete stop. The gas station was flat and the road appeared in good condition, but is was dark outside and about 40 degrees F. No warnings were observed on the dash or heads up display. No one was hurt in or outside of the vehicle. We have only had the vehicle for a few months (purchased used from Carvana with only 6k miles) and only 70 hours of drive time where the issue has never been observed or reoccurred. Hyundai has not yet been notified but I will file a report with them and ask for an inspection although I’ve read in Hyuandai forums that they are aware of this issue and have no root cause or solution.

Potential Consequences:
Was simply driving at approximately 40 mph and heard a loud bang come from the area above my head. Noticed a wind noise at that point. Upon getting home it was noticed that the glass on the sunroof had shattered on its own. Nothing hit it. It simply just shattered. I've read about people with a similar issue with this vehicle and I'm concerned. Had the visor that covers the inside of the sunroof been open, glass would have hit me and my children passengers.

Potential Consequences:
I was coming to stop speed under 15 (mph) the brake pedal and steering wheel starting shaking violently, and (the) brakes seemed to be pulsating up and down. I had to really push down hard and all the way on the brake pedal and when the car finally stopped my car was passed the stop sign and was in cross traffic luckily the car coming saw and swerved around me. My daughter would have suffered injury if that car hadn’t swerved. There were No ABS or malfunctions in the instrument panel and no audible warnings.” This has happened multiple times and Hyundai states this is inherent characteristic of this model which to me means all Palisades are defective.

Potential Consequences:
I was pulling into my driveway [XXX] when I engaged the brake pedal pushing it fully down to stop behind my other vehicle. The antilock brake system seemed to turn on and the car did not stop. The steering wheel started shaking violently and the car went forward another 10-15 feet and I crashed into my other car, all while the brake pedal was completely down. We brought the car in to the dealership, Ettleson Hyundai in Countryside, IL, where they could not reproduce the event. They changed out the main governor of the ABS system anyway.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
This has happened to me on 6 different occasions. While driving at slow speeds, and applying the brakes, the vehicles ABS system kicks in for no reason. However, while doing this, the vehicle is not slowing down and feels as though it will not stop. The only thing that stops the vehicle is the emergency brake that kicks in when the sensor feels I am getting too close to the car in front of me. I have been close to hitting the front car on several of these instances and another time, I stopped because I turned the wheel to the curb and the sensor picked up the curb and suddenly stopped the car. I have noticed that this happens more if the road is not smooth. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for service and no change was done because they could not duplicate the problem.

Defect Description:
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
There is a serious flaw in the low beam headlight display for this vehicle. There are two large shadows directly in the light of sight. I rarely drive this vehicle at night and with the recent change away from daylight savings time, I drove it in the early evening and discovered the headlights created a huge shadow right in the sightline of the road with oncoming vehicles. It is especially worse when turning on a curve and whatever is in the road ahead is almost invisible. I took it to my local Hyundai Dealership on 23 Nov 24 and had them look at it. They responded there was nothing wrong with the lights. They took pictures of the vehicle against a white background and it clearly showed two small triangular dark spots in the center of the vision. They said this is normal for Palisades. I asked them to show me the same view on another Palisade and it was identical with large shadows in the background. I asked for copies of the white background photos and they declined to provide them. I now understand from on-line research, that Hyundai is aware of this problem for 2021-2024 model year Palisades. But they will not do anything. Below are photos I have taken while driving in the dark and you can clearly see how there is a shadow that could cause an accident and cost lives. I also have video but this format will not let me upload it. I have also attached some research screen shots from [XXX] and [XXX] that discuss this issue (along with their pictures). I understand there are class action lawsuits ongoing with this issue. As a result, I believe it is time the NHTSA looks at this road safety issue and take action to have Hyundai fix it. I also ask that someone respond to indicate receipt and what action will occur in this. Thank you. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
