ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Engine fire caused by AC compressor. On 09/28/24, at 1700 miles and in the parking lot of a restaurant, smoke suddenly began filling the cabin and when I looked out the window the entire car's front was engulfed in a gray smoke. The overpowering smell was of burning wire insulation, plastic, and rubber. I immediately shut the car off, popped the hood, and was ready to run into the restaurant for a fire extinguisher when I noticed the large cloud of smoke was dissipating, but the heat was still incredibly extreme and a good amount of smoke was still pouring from the engine. My sister-in-law entered the car to retrieve her purse, and her eyes instantly started watering and she had a headache for several days. She is still complaining of her chest burning. After calling roadside, the AAA driver stated the car really smelled badly burned, and hauled the car off to the dealer of purchase. The fire was on 09/28/24 (a Saturday), and on Monday, 09/30/24, I submitted what took place to Hyundai. This is when the fraud started and Hyundai, with the help of the dealer, have purposely done everything possible to conceal the fire. I have full details of this fraud, and it's simply shocking. I am awaiting information regarding the restaurant's video recordings.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
We were driving on a highway between two towns with no other cars on either side of the highway and our sunroof exploded. We pulled to the side of the road thinking there was a gunshot or a tire exploded to discover the shattered sunroof. Thankfully we had the slide closed and it contained the glass pieces. The sunroof class was pointed upward. No rocks were bouncing around and nothing hit our windshield. The dealership warranty manager says it was a road hazard but there was no hazard to be had around us.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I bought a 24 Palisade Ltd Few month into ownership, I was approaching a stop light going 10 mph and started to apply the brakes as I passed over some slightly bumpy ground. 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 one foot from rear-ending a biker and a car in front of me despite beginning to break with plenty of time to stop - this is so far from how an ABS system is supposed to work and something that will get you in a wreck), Hyundai dealership has told me that, they dont see a problem and fixed nothing.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While braking at a stop, and encountering a pothole (has occurred even without a pothole on straight surfaces), it feels like the is ABS kicking in to avoid wheel lockup, and apparent slowing which rapidly mimics activities that could cause hard braking. Similar to when the car is on ice/snow and the car pulses to stop. Unsafe, as the vehicle does not top when intended and forces the vehicle to take longer to stop with the potential to involuntarily enter an intersection. I have had this occur multiple times. I am fearful that I will potentially have an accident with my grandchildren in the car. Dealership is aware of multiple issues, but cannot duplicate and thus will not resolve. No warning lights, or notifications occurred. Has been discussed on 2024 Palisade Calligraphy forums. Review other reviews on reddit where other models have been affected.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
After I purchased within a month I was approaching a parking spot and I applied brakes. They wouldn’t press down and the car start jumping forward. I pressed hard and the car would not stop and I hit a curb and it finally stopped. Second time: Approaching a stop sign I went over an un even are in the asphalt and the car jumped forward and I applied brakes and it jumped around and would not stop. I took to purchasing dealership and told them and showed them online issues others were having. They gave a rental for a week and called and said to come and get the car they could not duplicate the issue. I told them I was afraid and didn’t want to hit someone or a person. They said unless they could duplicate there was nothing they could do. I changed dealerships and plan to take to them for the issue. It has happened to me on a dirt road approaching the entrance to make a turn. I am making sure before I take back that I can have someone ride with me and show them. I don’t want them telling me they cannot duplicate again. It is very scary and if a pedestrian was in front of me I have no control of the car when this happens.

Potential Consequences:
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? When braking at low speeds, breaks start to shake (almost as if the ABS kicked in) while going over uneven ground or a bump. Almost as though the brakes skip making it so the car won't come to a stop. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Car felt like it wasn't going to stop or took longer to stop in a situation where the ABS did not need to kick on. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, but they say all the cars do it but I see it as a problem since it prevents the car from stopping normally. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages when it happens, it just randomly happens.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The brakes in this car have a major safety issue. Many others besides me have experienced this issue I have discovered through reddit and youtube. Under very specific conditions the brakes fail to work properly. At slow speeds over uneven surfaces when you hit the brakes occasionally the car will fail to stop and continue on an addition 10-16 feet before finally the brakes kick in and stop. It's a helpless feeling as you press down as hard as possible on the brakes but the car continues to move. This can be difficult to recreate because it does not happen every time, I have found this happens most often driving over train tracks slowly while applying brakes but its also happened in other instances like hit a pothole at slow speeds while applying the brakes. This has probably happened at least a dozen times since Ive had this car about 8 months. I would guess the speed it happens at is about 5-15 mph, never at high speeds thankfully. I feel nervous driving with my babies in the car, I am extra cautious knowing about this issue to attempt to stop much earlier than I normally would. This problem would most likely cause a fender bender with the car stopped ahead of me but what if there's uneven surface while Im stopping at a red light and I end up sliding out into traffic? Please please thoroughly investigate this issue before my family or another family has a tragic problem! Thank you

Potential Consequences:
In north Attleboro, on a sunny dry day in the 70s. Coming to a stop sign at the bottom of a 20ish degree decline. As I approached the stop sign the brakes at around 10mph started to lock. It felt like ABS kicking in on ice. I skidded past the stop sign. There was nothing I could do to stop it. Luckily no one was in front of me, I would have hit them.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
A lot of the time I go to press on my brakes, my vehicle skids as if I'm sliding on ice but we are in dead of summer. It makes a crunchy noise almost and the pedal vibrates. It's a 2024 and has less than 10,000 miles and has been doing it since I got the vehicle with only 500 miles. It has skid to the point that if there is a vehicle in front of me it can cause an accident because the vehicle does not come to a complete stop. I, now try to stop way before I'm supposed to and keep a further distance because I'm afraid to crash, and I drive on the bypass daily. There are no warning lights, I mentioned it to the person who sold it and he said there were no recalls and now he no longer works for the dealership.
