   In owners' words

   “The dealership warranty manager says it was a road hazard but there was no hazard to be had around us.”

Watch for a brake pedal that goes soft or hard, longer stopping distances, the car shaking or lurching forward when you brake, and ABS activating on bumps or small road flaws. If the brakes seem unable to stop the car, stop driving and have it towed to a dealer. Confirm with a dealer that every recall is complete, and park outside and away from structures until recall 23V526000 is repaired.

73 problems found in all 387 complaints. One complaint can describe more than one problem, so counts add up to more than the total. Not counted as a defect: 39 about recall paperwork or parts delays, 4 describing no vehicle defect. Typical miles, repair cost and fix rate show only when enough owners report them.

• Complaints. NHTSA's owner complaint file, counted as unique complaint numbers for make HYUNDAI, model PALISADE, model year 2024. Data through Oct 4, 2026.
• Verdict. Judged from this model year's own complaints, not against other models, using shares rather than counts. Serious known problems: one serious problem (transmission, engine or stalling, steering, brakes, airbags, fire, fuel leaks) is in a quarter or more of complaints; or a smaller but clear cluster comes with an unusual share of crash, fire, injury or loss-of-power reports or early failures; or an urgent recall or NHTSA investigation matches a top complaint. Some known problems: one of those signals on its own. No pattern of serious problems: none of them; this doesn't mean the vehicle is trouble-free. Too few complaints to judge: under 50 complaints. Why this verdict: 33% of complaints (127) describe brake problems (brake failure, phantom automatic braking); A park-outside recall (23V526000) for a fire risk in the power train.
• No grade or class ranking. Raw complaint counts favor models that sell fewer cars, so we don't score or rank this vehicle against other models until we can adjust for sales.
• Trouble spots and history. Complaints grouped by the part owners chose when filing. The history grid counts complaints filed in each model year's first 3 years so older and newer years compare fairly; years with fewer than 3 complete years are marked too new.
• Named problems. Every one of the 387 complaints was researched and classified by its problems, severity, symptoms, repairs and any cost the owner mentions; the counts, costs and fix rates on this page are tallies of those classifications. Quotes are verbatim excerpts, checked against the original text. Engines are decoded from partial VINs with NHTSA's vPIC service.
• Repair costs and fix rates. Shown only when at least 10 owners report a repair cost, or at least 10 complaints describe whether a repair worked.
• Not adjusted for sales. Not affiliated with NHTSA. Page updated Nov 5, 2026.
