2025 Hyundai Palisade

Too new to assess

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is too new for this measure. Almost every complaint about a vehicle this recent is a first-year complaint, because that is all the service life there has been, so the figure cannot separate a genuine early defect from simple youth. The complaint counts, systems and recalls below still stand on their own. The most-reported system is service brakes (91 complaints), typically at 11 mo or about 7,000 miles.

Safety recalls — NHTSA campaigns

25V291000 2025-05-06 Do not drive
Power train:automatic transmission:fluid/lubricant:pump

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025 Hyundai Palisade vehicles. An insufficient seal on the controller for the electric oil pump may allow moisture to accumulate in the printed circuit board, which can cause an electrical short and result in a fire.

A fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

Air bags:side/window:curtain

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2020-2025 Palisade vehicles. The side curtain air bags for third-row occupants may deploy improperly in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."

Improper side curtain air bag deployment increases the risk of injury during a crash.

25V607000 2025-09-12
Seat belts: rear/other:buckle assembly

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2020-2025 Palisade vehicles. The seat belt buckles in the driver, passenger, and second-row window seats may fail to latch.

Seat belt buckles that fail to latch may not properly restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

In owners’ own words

Seat belts mileage not reported 1 mo in service
The passenger side seatbelt will not buckle. There was no warning no signs of failure. The car has 3000 miles on it. Seems like something in the receiver part of the seatbelt is broken.
Seat belts mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The seat belt on the driver’s side 2nd row captains chair and the 3rd row middle seat spontaneously unlatched while driving. This occurred 5 times over 2 days, at different speeds and locations. One in a parking lot, twice while exiting the neighborhood, and twice on the freeway.
Seat belts mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The front passenger side seatbelt disengages while driving- has happened on four occasions. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. There were no warnings or indications that the seatbelt was loose or would disengage.
Service brakes mileage not reported 7 mo in service
When traveling slowly and braking, if you hit a bump the car steering begins to shake wildly that makes you feel you will lose control. You have to bump the brakes to make it stop. Seems like the anti lock brakes kick in when it shouldn’t and because it is the front tires make the car violently shake. Happens intermittently and difficult to reproduce at will. Has happened numerous times. Brought to dealership and because it can’t be reproduced at will they will not investigate the issue. Seems to be only a matter of time this will cause an accident.
