2020 Hyundai Palisade — Known Issues & Recalls

I am reporting a safety concern involving repeated engine stalling while driving my 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The vehicle has stalled a total of seven times during normal operation. Most of the incidents occurred while slowing down or stopped at intersections and traffic lights.

Your engine started shaking severely and losing power while driving on the highway at 70 mph, forcing you to slow down and exit. The dealership found your engine oil was low, and topping it off resolved the issue temporarily — but the same problem occurred again on a later trip. You've noticed your vehicle appears to be consuming oil faster than normal, especially at highway speeds, and this may be happening to other 2020 Palisades around 100k miles. The fix will likely involve the dealership performing an oil consumption test to diagnose whether your engine has an internal leak or is burning oil abnormally.

Vehicle is consuming or burning oil at a high rate. While dealer has done an oil consumption test and claimed it was "within tolerance," I have on multiple occasions had the car start to shudder at 2,000 miles since last oil change only to find the oil wasn't even on the stick anymore.

The engine burns 1 quart per 1000 miles of driving

engine is consuming alot of oil I have to put a quart every week and it has a smell of burning near the engine and white smoke at the back tail pipe.

Your front driver's side and second-row driver's side seat belts won't latch properly, leaving you unable to safely secure a car seat or passengers. The dealer confirmed the problem and ordered replacement seat belts in December 2025, but parts still haven't arrived. The fix will require replacing the faulty seat belt assemblies once parts become available.

We scheduled in advance and confirmed recalls to have seatbelts recall serviced. Lost the entire day waiting for the service department to tell me they did not have the parts. The recall was mishandled and communication was kept to a minimum regarding the service noone knew about not having parts until the end of the day, which was 7 hours after our scheduled visit.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the second-row seats were inoperable. The contact also stated that the second-row seat belts failed to function properly, and the seat belt buckles failed to latch securely.

Your 2020 Hyundai Palisade has a safety recall for seat belt buckles in the front and second row that can unlatch while driving. You took your vehicle to the dealership on March 20, 2026 for the recall repair, but when you inspected the buckles afterward, they appeared to be the original dirty, worn parts rather than the new ones. The service writer could not show you the old or new parts to confirm the replacement was actually completed. The dealership may need to properly inspect and complete the seat belt buckle replacement to ensure your safety.

Your front passenger seat belt keeps coming undone on its own. You've tried to get this fixed twice under recall, but the dealership says the replacement parts aren't in stock and you need to reschedule. When you brought your car in for repair, they kept it for hours only to tell you again that the parts aren't available and you'll need to come back another time. The repair will likely require replacing the seat belt assembly or its locking mechanism.

Your third-row seat belt warning system isn't working—the car doesn't alert you if a passenger back there isn't wearing their seatbelt. You first noticed this in January 2026, but it's unclear how long the problem has existed. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the seat belt sensor or warning system module in the third row.

Starting around 90,000 miles, your transmission has been shuddering, and the problem has gotten worse over time. You've kept up with regular maintenance and even changed the transmission fluid twice, but the shuddering continues. This appears to be a common issue reported by other owners with this transmission type.

I own a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The vehicle began jerking while driving, particularly during acceleration and shifting, prior to reaching 100,000 miles. Over time the issue worsened, and the vehicle started failing to accelerate properly when pressing the gas pedal.

Your 2020 Palisade is consuming excessive engine oil—dropping 2.6 quarts after just 1,000 miles—which can cause sudden engine failure, stalling, or loss of power at highway speeds and create a crash hazard. The dealership confirmed no external leaks but denied warranty coverage for the needed combustion chamber cleaning due to mileage. Additionally, your vehicle is under a federal safety recall for potential side curtain airbag deployment failure in crashes, with no fix available yet. Addressing the oil consumption will likely require professional engine diagnostics and combustion chamber service to identify and repair the internal cause of excessive oil burning.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? "The tempered glass panel of the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered while the vehicle was in motion. The glass exploded outward with a loud report similar to a gunshot.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. There was an oil-burning odor coming from the vehicle.

Your 2020 Hyundai Palisade has two active safety recalls (for seat belts and air bags), but the manufacturer doesn't have replacement parts available yet—and the wait has gone longer than you feel is reasonable. Additionally, your windshield washer system isn't spraying fluid properly when you try to clean the windshield. The dealer confirmed that recall parts still aren't in stock. Fixing these issues will require waiting for recall parts to become available and having the washer nozzles or pump system inspected and repaired.

Your 2020 Hyundai Palisade is consuming oil much faster than normal, even though no leaks are visible and you're only doing local driving. This excessive oil consumption is a serious concern that suggests an internal engine problem. Your engine may need inspection to identify the source of the oil loss, which could involve checking the piston rings, valve seals, or other internal components.

Engine is sucking the life out of this vehicle meaning it is consuming more than normal oil. Oil consumption, I had the testing done. and Hyundai has done nothing about fixing the issues Well I am the second owner of this vehicle and it should be laws in place for the second owners of a vehicle.

August 2025: While driving down the road and approaching a light, I slowed down to turn and make a left. As I braked, all lights on the instrument panel lit up and the car completely turned off. After several attempts to start the car again, the car started.
