Incident: October 26, 2026 · Filed: October 30, 2026

at around 22,000 miles brakes feel spongy at times, at times brake pedal floats then goes to floor when trying to stop. First repair at dealership (McGovern of Arlington, Ma ) bled brakes and replaced rear brakes even though not too bad . One month later same conditions dropped off for repair, thought contaminated brake fluid and bled brakes lasted another 4-6 weeks Dropped off Monday 10/26/26 same exact problem so scary when driving and you have to put brake to floor to stop Could not duplicate problem, so they just bled brakes again How do you force them to replace parts when they say they cant duplicate problem but it exists

Was a stop waiting for a break in traffic to make a right turn. Once there was a break in traffic, I attempted to turn the steering wheel while easing out of the corner but the wheel completely locked up and I was unable to make the turn. Thankfully, there was enough of a break in traffic (across all four lanes) that I could navigate into the parking garage across the street. There I was able to shut off the vehicle and restart it again and regain steering capabilities.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the seat belt buckles in the second- and third-row seats failed to latch properly. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available.

The driver was pulling onto a driveway and braking to slow to a stop near the entrance of a garage. Suddenly the car surged ahead striking a stone column at the garage entrance severely damaging the column and damaging the front hood, bumper and licence plate area of the car. The air bags did not deploy. This incident occurred at night. At the same time the car surged forward the interior lights and control panel lights went out completely. They came back on after the vehicle hit the garage column. There were two adults and two children in the vehicle. All known recalls (7) at that time had been completed on the vehicle (2022 Hyundai Palisade).

The vehicle experienced severe engine stalling and critically low oil levels that were officially documented by an authorized dealership well before 100,000 miles (at approximately 79,000 miles). Because this pre-existing condition remained unresolved under warranty, the engine ultimately failed and required a complete replacement at approximately 103,000 miles. Just 7,000 miles later, at 110,000 miles, the automatic transmission suffered a critical failure. The transmission severely shudders, spikes to excessively high RPMs, and refuses to shift properly through lower gears (gears 1 to 3). This causes sudden hesitation, loss of motive power, and violent jerking when accelerating and merging into active traffic, creating an imminent crash hazard. The manufacturer has refused repair assistance despite cascading powertrain defects that originated prior to 100,000 miles.

The vehicle has experienced issues for roughly 6 months randomly not starting. The lights and displays come on but it will not respond to push start. We took it in and they replaced the starter assembly about a month ago. The next day it wouldn’t start again. That same weekend died twice and intersections with the auto stop start like the computer was rebooting. It went back into the shop a few weeks ago and they have been unable to isolate the issue. Opened up a case with Hyundai and it’s back at the dealer again tomorrow for them to work with HQ technical teams.

Incident: October 2, 2026 · Filed: October 7, 2026

The driver-side windshield wiper arm/attachment system malfunctioned. This is the same component area addressed by Hyundai Safety Recall 243 (NHTSA Recall 23V-180). The dealership documented that the driver-side “wiper arm nut backed off causing wiper arm to come off car.” Photographs also show damage/wear to the internal splined mounting area of the wiper arm. The dealership tightened the retaining hardware and returned the existing wiper arm to service rather than replacing the arm. The vehicle and currently installed wiper arm are available for inspection upon request. I also have photographs documenting the condition before and after the dealership service. The driver-side windshield wiper stopped functioning, leaving the driver without a functioning wiper to maintain visibility through the windshield. Had this occurred during rain, snow, or other reduced-visibility conditions, I could have experienced a sudden loss of adequate forward visibility while driving. I am concerned about recurrence because the dealership documented that the retaining nut had backed off, there is visible damage to the wiper arm's splined mounting area, and the existing arm was returned to service after the retaining hardware was tightened. Yes. The vehicle was taken to the authorized Hyundai dealership that previously performed Recall 243. The dealership confirmed the malfunction and documented on the October 6, 2026 repair order: “DRIVER SIDE WIPER ARM IS NOT MOVING” and “FOUND WIPER ARM NUT BACKED OFF CAUSING WIPER ARM TO COME OFF CAR.” The dealership tightened the retaining hardware and returned the existing wiper arm to service. The vehicle and wiper assembly were inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealership on October 6, 2026. This is the same dealership that performed Hyundai Safety Recall 243 on the vehicle in March 2023. No warning lights/messages or prior symptoms. Wiper failed suddenly during normal warm-weather use with no snow, ice, or unusual resistance.

The windshield cracked for no apparent reason. It was fine the night before, then cracked the next morning. It seems to originate from the frame area under the passenger side wiper.

The vehicle's steering wheel completely locks up in mid-turn while actively in motion. Berman Hyundai of Lincolnwood performed massive engine and transmission overhauls but twice willfully ignored my warnings about this catastrophic steering defect. The dealership is refusing a safe loaner vehicle. The car is currently grounded at Napleton Hyundai for an emergency independent diagnostic. An active corporate case is open with Hyundai Motor America under Case Management #43278436. All this and I’m not even done paying the vehicle.

Component Affected: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: HIGH PRESSURE PUMP Description of the Safety Hazard: My 2022 Hyundai Palisade has developed a catastrophic failure of the engine-mounted High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP). The insulating foam cover is completely saturated and leaking raw, liquid gasoline directly on top of the engine block. The fuel system is unable to maintain rail pressure, causing severe pre-detonation engine knock ("pinging") and mechanical stumbling during acceleration. Furthermore, there are visible electrical flashes/short-circuit arcs occurring in the engine bay directly adjacent to the high-pressure liquid fuel leak, presenting an imminent vehicle fire hazard. Active dark fluid puddles contaminated with fuel are dripping past the splash shields onto the ground. Dealer/Manufacturer Actions: Despite clear photographic evidence of a pressurized fuel leak on a powertrain-covered component, multiple authorized Hyundai dealerships (Fred Beans, Harrisburg, and Chambersburg) have refused service or grossly misdiagnosed the life-threatening safety issue as a 'gas cap' or 'water hose.' Hyundai Motor America Corporate Consumer Assistance has failed to intervene or provide emergency towing remediation for this severe fire risk.
