On 01/12/24 my vehicle cut off while driving and wouldn't allow me to shift from park to shift. The transmission also had a habit of jerking back and forth when under load going up a hill. Hyundai dealership suggested a transmission flush. After the flush the problem came back in May of 2024

When turning slowly or going over bumps at a lower speed, a thud or pop can be heard from the rear, which could be the shocks or struts in the rear. On a luxury vehicle, with this low of miles, these shouldn't need replacement so quickly. No warning lights or messages.

Sudden powertrain failure. Car started to decelerate on its own. The car started to vibrate when accelerator was pressed. Car was in high speed and could have stalled and the passengers could have been killed. Hyundai has refused to honor the powertrain warranty and has attributed the entire transmission failure to bad gas which is very very unlikely. Have contacted Hyundai USA and got no substantial help. Hudson Hyundai is the dealer and is notorious in their treatment of customers. The company needs to issue a recall of 2021 pallisades before a major accident.

Had my car in shop for over 30 days on my last visit, was there 4 other times. When you reach speeds of 62 mph to 73 mph car has vibration in seat and steering wheel along with feeling it. They rotated tires, replaced drive shaft, replaced rear differential and fluids. Was told to come get car there is nothing they can do about it. Called Hyundai filed a complaint and someone higher up was going to call me back within 10 days. Its now 12 days and no call. I called today and asked for the person to talk to and got a new phone number. Been trying to call her and cant get threw. Guess my next step is to tell Dealership about was is going on and contact my state to fill a report with them. Got 2,674 miles on car.

The vehicle developed a vibration at speeds of 65-70 mph. It had less than 100 miles on it when it was first noticed. The dealership has balanced the tires twice, replaced the drive shaft, and replaced the rear coupler with no success. They do not know what's wrong with the vehicle. They are currently awaiting a read differential "to see" if that fixes it. They aren't sure that it will. The part is on backorder from Korea and the vehicle has been sitting at the dealership for weeks.

2021 Palisade calligraphy - while driving on highway (comfor mode - cruise control) htrac error light came on. After stopping and shutting car off the error resolved for a few minutes and then came back on while driving. Noticed no power to rear wheels while driving - snowed next day- AWD vehicle became only fwd. Took to dealer and error code P182111 was assessed. Also water intrusion in a connection and the actuator (motor) seems to be faulty. Car has 812 miles on it when this occurred. Know of another user on Hyundai forum with same issues @ around 1000 miles. Waiting to hear what issues they are diagnosed with at dealer.
