VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners report issues with the 2024 Hyundai Palisade's braking system, particularly related to the ABS. Complaints frequently mention that when driving over uneven surfaces, such as bumps or gravel, the ABS engages unexpectedly, leading to increased stopping distances and vibrations. This issue often occurs at speeds below 20 mph and has led to near collisions, with drivers noting the need to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. No specific mileage range is consistently mentioned, but multiple owners describe experiencing these symptoms shortly after vehicle purchase. Additionally, one owner mentions difficulty with cruise control due to poor visibility of steering wheel graphics during the day, though this appears less common. Safety implications include potential loss of control and increased risk of intersection accidents.
