The trunk electrical. When I push the button the trunk fully opens as you are in the turn knit begins to close and has no sensor. I came down into the back of my neck so hard and caused injury. It didn-??t it again to my [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The hatch struts prevent the hatch door to close due to the broken plastic surrounding the struts. Both struts were replaced a year after the vehicle was purchased brand new and then a year later another broke and now they are broken again and in less than a year they are showing sign of hair line cracks, which will eventually causes the hatch door to get stuck sand it will not shut. Not only it-??s a safety problem but also a very expensive piece of struts. For both to be replaced it will cost $2500-3000. This is a defect designed with cheap plastic. Please issue a recall immediately.
While driving at 65mph on interstate under mild weather conditions the front sunroof spontaneously exploded. There was an extreme loud pop sound followed by glass flying down the roof line and into the fortunately closed sun shade. There was no external impact to cause this and the sunroof mechanism was not being used. After pulling over for inspection a volleyball size hole was seen in front sunroof and the remaining pieces of fractured glass was bowed up suggesting the glass blew up and not down. Safety concerns from the loud pop sound startling driver and potential for glass to rain over driver and occupants if the sunshade is open. The dealer refused to look at the issue and suggested body shop for repair. There were no warning signs and not a driver related issue. There continue to be many incidents being reported here and I'm guessing countless that aren't. There is an issue with the manufacturer needs to address.
The passenger side rear view mirror stop auto tilting when in reverse, even with the switch in left or right position. I also cannot manually adjust said mirror up or down, only left and right. At one point said mirror tilted downwards when reverse selected and never came back up. At first the issue seem intermittent, but now it doesn-??t work at all.
Child safety lock, making a clicking sound while engaged. When the lock is disengaged, the sound goes away. This sounds like a safety concern when you are trying to put on the child log for safety of your child.

Our car was parked in our garage overnight. In the morning, I went to get in the car and found that the sunroof had shattered. There was no evidence that anything had fallen on it or hit it; it was just simply shattered. There had been no previous damage to the vehicle. We attempted to call the 2 local Hyundai dealerships, but either did not receive a call back or they stated that they could not review our car for at least 2-3 weeks to see if this was a defect.
I-??m having trouble with getting insurance protection on my 2021 Hyundai Palisade. It appears that the SUV is easy to seal. State Farm and Travelers insurance company will not write a policy on a Hyundai vehicle.
My locks start making a clicking noise randomly, sometime when vehicle is off some times when it is going down the road. It makes a series of clicks, sounds like doors are locking and unlocking, then I get a warning that pops up on dash that says child safety lock failure. When I took it to the dealership they could not get any failure codes when they hooked up computer.
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.
On 7/23 my family experience a very horrific event. While traveling on a road at approximately 35 mph our rear passenger window exploded. The explosion was unexpected and dangerously unsafe. There was debri of broken glass all over our bodies, hair, clothing and inside our vehicle. Luckily our family was not injured. Since then our family has really questioned the safety of your vehicles after learning that this type of event is happening to other hyundai palisade owners. I created a case and have not heard back from anyone nor any dealership cannot provide assistance in my area. My kids and family are afraid to get into a vehicle we thought was safe but apparently is not. I need someone to call me and I need to stop being transferred over and over to different customer service reps and need hyundai to take responsibility for our loss family time, appointments and mental insecurities caused by this explosion.
The sunroof exploded and shattered while driving on the highway. It was very loud and startling and could have caused us to get in a wreck as it sounded like a gun went off. Also, we then had to drive with a hand on the sunroof cover so the glass wouldn't come into the car as it was very windy and it was unclear if the cover would stay shut. There were no warnings whatsoever. It is at the dealership now and has been confirmed.
Component: child safety lock system Risk: we have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. We bought the SUV as a family vehicle. If the child safety lock system does not work out children would be able to open their doors while traveling at highway speeds. Problem reproduced: the dealership replaced a part the first time we took it in for the issue. The issue persisted. We brought it back when the issue happened again and the dealership said they couldn't reproduce the issue. It happens randomly. I have a video I made showing the issue happening several times in a row and provided the video to the service department. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to drop the car off again for them to diagnose. Inspected: not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance rep or others. Symptoms: you can hear the child lock system trying to physically engage over and over again when walking near to the locked car with the fob in your pocket. When inside the vehicle the same happens when trying to turn on the child safety lock via the button on the driver side arm rest in the driver side door. After the repeated clicking sound there is an alert that appears on the LCD screen in the dash above the steering wheel and a chime. The alert says: "Child safety lock failure" then goes away. I have a video reproducing this several times in a row: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LbvECtVyhA2LxLsp7 The last time we brought this to the dealership they said they could do nothing if they weren't able to reproduce the problem. We have an appointment to drop it with them again tomorrow to diagnose the issue.
Driving down I-5 and heard an extremely loud explosion above driver and passenger seats. Upon inspection at home, the sunroof has shattered with a hole directly in the middle of the unit. No debris or vehicles were in front of the vehicle during the incident.
While driving our Palisade on the freeway, the sunroof exploded without warning. Fortunately, the sunroof was closed and we had the internal compartment closed and no one was behind us on the freeway. So the glass did not enter the vehicle or hit another vehicle. But if the indoor compartment was open then glass would have entered into the vehicle and striking individuals in the car. The shattered glass did do damage to the top of our car (i.e. scratches deep enough to take off the paint completely). Based on online forums, and one law firm-??s (based in Connecticut) website, this is a known problem with the Hyundai Palisade. It also appears that the NHTSA is investigating the Kia Sorento for this same problem. Thus, the problem has been replicated in other vehicles and Kia/Hyundai are aware of the problem. Our vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone (we are taking it to the dealer in the near future). There was no warning that this was going to happen, it just sounded like a gun was being fired in our car.
Driving down the highway at 70 mph, no other vehicles around, we heard exploding glass shatter above us. The sunroof cover was closed, so no glass in the cabin. There was nothing around us nor anything flying in the air that could have hit the sunroof. We stopped as soon as we could safely to look at it and the sunroof glass was shattered in the middle. I had to use Gorilla tape to cover the glass so we could drive the last 2 hours home. My wife had to hold the cover closed for fear it would open and glass fly in to the cabin. Our safety was at risk as the glass could have fallen in. and cut us or flown in our eyes as we were traveling at highway speed. We have an insurance claim, we have contacted Hyundai with photos, and no response from Hyundai at this time. No warning lights or messages were on in the vehicle. We have a repair estimate including glass clean up and new glass installation. We researched and appears that sunroof explosions have happened on Hyundai models, I guess we weren-??t the exception.
I started my car using my key fob so the car wouldn-??t be as hot when my baby and I got in. I walked to the back passenger side, unlocked the car and put my baby into the car. I then walked around to the driver-??s side door and somehow the car was locked even though I had just unlocked it. I had my keys in my hand so I pressed the unlock button. My car would not unlock. I tried all of the doors and tried to lock and unlock my vehicle multiple times. I was about to break a window since my 7 month old was locked inside when I realized maybe the trunk would open. It did and I had to climb through my trunk to get into my vehicle to unlock it. This is exceptionally dangerous as I live in a very hot climate and a child can die in a hot car in minutes. Even though the car was running if you do not get into your car in 10 minutes the car automatically turns off. If someone does not remain calm in that situation they may not think to try the trunk. I have not yet notified the dealer or had the vehicle inspected. I was able to recreate the incident without my child inside. If anyone would like to inspect my vehicle that is fine. This is a deadly accident waiting to happen.
While driving on I-95 near Bangor Maine there was a loud noise. The sun roof glass exploded and glass fell inside on the driver and passenger. Glass also flew into the air on the vehicles traveling behind. There where no vehicles traveling in front of it during the glass explosion.
The car randomly stopped in the middle of not where, like a stop sign, high way, and anywhere while driving it. Very unsafe-?? the car ask you to put the car on neutral or parking then the car does not want to start. After 15 min you can start the car with Neutral button. Not solution has been make by Hyundai. They have a lot of the same issue, and Hyundai does not know what to do next
