2023 Hyundai Palisade Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: April 8, 2026 · Filed: October 30, 2026

My car has been giving me issues for over 6 months. The staff at Hyundai have no idea what is going on. I bought my car from Hyundai and have only gotten service from Hyundai. On my dashboard you will see several lights blinking. The seatbelt signs in the back light up when no one is in the seat. The lights on the dashboard are very dim. The blinkers do not work sometimes. Some days I cannot automatic start or open the back cab. All of this is random and happens whenever with no warning.

My vehicle is experiencing sudden, unprovoked engine stalling specifically during turns [Specify: e.g., when turning right from a complete stop / while coasting through a left turn at 15 mph]. When the engine stalls mid-turn, the vehicle immediately loses all power steering and braking assist. This creates an incredibly dangerous situation where the vehicle becomes nearly impossible to steer or stop, placing myself, my passengers, and other drivers at imminent risk of a catastrophic collision. The vehicle experienced a stall while executing the sharp right turn onto the [XXX] exit.. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In 2024, my [XXX] daughter was seated in the third row of our 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy (VIN [XXX]). She was wearing her seat belt and sitting in a backless booster seat. While I was loading luggage for a family road trip, a piece of luggage accidentally pressed the third-row power-folding seat control. The seatback began folding forward while my daughter was occupying the seat. She became trapped and compressed between the folding seatback and the second-row seat in front of her. Despite encountering resistance from her body, the powered seat continued applying pressure. She experienced pain from the compression and could not free herself. The seat did not automatically stop or reverse. I was fortunately standing nearby loading luggage and was able to remove the luggage from the control and manually reverse the seat mechanism within seconds. Had I not been immediately present, my daughter could have remained trapped and suffered more serious injuries. Since the incident, we have required our children to use high-back booster seats because we believed they might offer protection against the powered seat folding. However, we recognize that booster seats are not designed to protect against this hazard. I recently learned about Hyundai’s recall involving power-seat entrapment hazards in certain 2026 Palisade vehicles. My 2023 vehicle is not included in that recall, despite having experienced an incident involving a child being trapped by a powered seat. I request that NHTSA investigate whether the third-row power-folding seats in earlier Hyundai Palisade models present a similar safety hazard and whether additional recalls or corrective measures are warranted.
