SERVICE BRAKES
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade frequently report issues with the anti-lock braking system (ABS), particularly on uneven or bumpy surfaces. Symptoms described include the ABS engaging unnecessarily, leading to increased stopping distances, vehicle shuddering, and in some cases, the vehicle failing to stop as expected. These problems are often noted in vehicles with low mileage, typically under 5,000 miles. Several complaints involve incidents where the vehicle unexpectedly stops or slides, with three reports of crashes and two injuries. Buyers should be aware of these potential braking issues, especially if driving on uneven terrain is common.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade frequently report issues with the vehicle's sunroof and braking system. Complaints describe sunroofs spontaneously shattering, sometimes while the vehicle is in motion, leading to potential safety hazards from falling glass. Additionally, multiple owners experience braking problems, especially on uneven surfaces, where the ABS engages unexpectedly, causing delayed stopping or skidding. This braking issue is associated with incidents of minor crashes and near-misses, often occurring at low speeds. These problems appear in vehicles with varying mileages, including those with as few as 310 miles, indicating they can occur early in the vehicle's lifecycle. Potential buyers should be aware of these issues, particularly the safety implications related to braking and sunroof integrity.

SEAT BELTS
Owners report several issues with the seat belts in the 2025 Hyundai Palisade, with a common complaint being seat belts that fail to latch securely or spontaneously unlatch while driving. Typical symptoms include seat belts not clicking into place, randomly disengaging, or being inaccessible due to their positioning, especially when using car seats or booster seats. Complaints frequently mention these problems occurring within the first few months of ownership and at relatively low mileage, such as 2,500 to 3,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, with one reported crash where seat belts failed to restrain passengers, resulting in whiplash injuries. These patterns suggest potential safety concerns for buyers considering this model, particularly for families with young children.

SUSPENSION
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade frequently report suspension-related issues, primarily involving rear shocks and struts. Common symptoms include loud rattling noises from the rear, bouncing and loss of traction when hauling, and a violent shaking or "death wobble" when braking over bumps. These issues are noted at low mileages, with some reports as early as 1,500 to 8,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, as several complaints describe loss of control or near-collisions due to these suspension failures. Buyers should be aware that some dealerships have difficulty reproducing these issues, and parts may be on backorder, complicating repairs.

POWER TRAIN
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade report frequent issues with the power train, particularly involving transmission and braking systems. Complaints often describe the transmission unexpectedly upshifting during deceleration and failing to respond appropriately when accelerating, with occurrences noted as early as 816 miles. Additionally, multiple owners experience ABS activation on uneven surfaces, leading to braking difficulties at low speeds, which poses a significant safety risk in crowded or high-traffic areas. Some reports include transmission fluid leaks and shifting problems at higher speeds, with safety implications noted during freeway acceleration or when entering intersections. These issues suggest potential reliability concerns for buyers considering this vehicle model.
Owner complaints5
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners report several electrical system issues with the 2025 Hyundai Palisade. A common problem involves the dashboard lighting up with multiple warning indicators and a loss of power steering, leaving vehicles at dealerships for extended periods without resolution. Another significant issue involves the ABS system engaging unnecessarily, causing the vehicle to slide forward even at low speeds, which poses a potential safety risk. Some owners also experience starting problems, where the vehicle fails to start using the push-button or BlueLink app, only responding to the key fob. These issues appear to occur in relatively new vehicles, with no specific mileage mentioned, and may affect the vehicle's safety and reliability.
Owner complaints5
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade frequently report issues with windshield durability, specifically mentioning susceptibility to chips and cracks. Symptoms commonly described include abnormal scratches, chips, and cracks that impair visibility, with some owners noting large cracks appearing without any apparent impact. These issues are often noticed within the first few months of ownership, with mileage as low as 3,300 miles mentioned. Safety implications are noted, as cracks can create distractions and impair visibility, particularly when they occur within the driver's field of view. Potential buyers should be aware of these windshield concerns and consider inspecting for such damage when evaluating a used Palisade.
Owner complaints5
STEERING
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade frequently report issues with steering and braking when driving at low speeds, particularly over uneven surfaces such as bumps or potholes. Typical symptoms include violent shaking of the steering wheel and an apparent activation of the ABS, which can extend stopping distances and result in a temporary loss of control. These issues are reported even in brand new vehicles, with some complaints noting mileage as low as 1,200 miles. While no crashes are reported, the potential for loss of control is a significant safety concern. Buyers should be aware that these problems are difficult to reproduce consistently, which has led to challenges in diagnosis and repair by dealerships.
Owner complaints2
ENGINE
Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade report issues with engine misfires and unexpected engine shutdowns. Complaints frequently mention misfires due to faulty ignition coils, particularly on cylinders 3 and 4, with incidents occurring around 8,500 miles. Some owners indicate these misfires are acknowledged by dealerships but not proactively addressed by Hyundai unless they occur. Another reported issue involves the engine shutting off unexpectedly during deceleration, with dashboard lights illuminating and requiring a restart while in traffic, posing potential safety risks. These issues are reported within the first year of ownership and may impact driving safety and reliability.
Owner complaints2
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners report issues with the 2025 Hyundai Palisade's lane assist and braking systems. Complaints frequently mention the lane assist pulling the vehicle into other lanes, including into oncoming traffic, even when the vehicle is centered, particularly when cruise control is engaged. Another issue described is the vehicle's failure to brake while exiting a parking lot, nearly leading to a collision. These problems are noted by owners to occur at high speeds and during low-speed maneuvers, posing significant safety risks. Multiple owners have experienced these issues with different vehicles of the same model year, indicating a broader pattern rather than isolated incidents.
