2022 Hyundai Palisade — Known Issues & Recalls

Your seatbelts have a latching mechanism that's failing — they're coming unbuckled on their own while you're driving, which is a serious safety concern for your children. Both rear seatbelts are part of a recall, but your dealership says they don't have the parts in stock and won't give you a timeline for repairs or a loaner vehicle. Getting the seatbelt assemblies replaced at a dealership is the fix, but you may need to contact Hyundai customer service directly if your dealer can't help.

Your seat belts—both the driver's front belt and rear passenger belts—are unexpectedly unlatching while you're driving or when the vehicle is parked. Hyundai has issued a recall (Campaign 25V607000) to address this issue, but the replacement parts are currently on nationwide backorder and unavailable. This is a safety concern that needs to be fixed as soon as parts become available, so you should contact your Hyundai dealer to get on the waiting list for the recall repair.

Your seatbelt is subject to Hyundai safety recall 283, and you've been trying to get it replaced since December, but your dealership says they don't have the parts in stock. You've called multiple times (1/7, 1/15, 1/19) and even contacted Hyundai directly for expedited service, but the issue still hasn't been resolved and you haven't been offered a loaner vehicle while waiting for repairs. The fix will require the dealership to obtain and install the recall seatbelt assembly once parts become available.

Your driver-side windshield wiper stopped working without warning while you were driving in snowy conditions, making it difficult to see the road and creating a safety concern for you and your passengers. There were no warning lights or unusual smells before it failed. The dealership has been notified and is scheduled to inspect the wiper system.

Your windshield wipers crossed over each other during a snowstorm and now your driver's side wipers don't work properly in heavy rain or snow. You believe this matches a known safety recall issue. When you contacted dealerships and Hyundai customer service for help, one dealership refused service and the other wanted to charge you for repairs instead of covering it under warranty or goodwill. The fix will likely involve replacing or realigning the wiper motor assembly and linkage.

You received a recall notice stating that your third-row seating may be unsafe for occupants. Hyundai hasn't yet provided a fix for this issue, which is concerning since you have young children who use that seating. Both the dealership and Hyundai corporate have been slow to address your concerns. The manufacturer will need to develop and provide a remedy for the third-row seat safety issue.

Your 2022 Palisade caught fire while parked overnight without any warning lights appearing beforehand. The vehicle had been serviced at a dealer two weeks prior for a recall repair and oil change. The fire caused burns to your husband and damage to your home, and the vehicle was towed away without being diagnosed or repaired. A fix would require a thorough inspection by the manufacturer to identify what caused the fire and address the underlying engine or fuel system issue.

While parked, your car accelerated unexpectedly when you pressed the brake pedal, causing a collision with another vehicle. No warning lights appeared before the acceleration happened, and the airbags didn't deploy. The dealer was unable to diagnose or repair the issue, but the manufacturer opened a case to investigate.

Your children's rear seat belts are coming unbuckled repeatedly while driving, which you reported shortly after purchasing your vehicle but were initially told was not a problem. Hyundai later issued a recall for this exact defect, but when you scheduled repairs, the dealership said there would be a delay of several weeks and claimed you were the only person experiencing the issue—contradicting the existence of the recall. Additionally, there's now a separate recall for third-row passenger safety with no available fix, leaving your children without a safe seating option in your vehicle. Resolving this will likely require the dealership to inspect and repair or replace the rear seat belt mechanisms and potentially address third-row safety concerns under the recall program.

Your 2022 Palisade suddenly lost all engine power while driving at normal speed, with multiple warning lights appearing on the dashboard at once. The vehicle slowed down dramatically and became unsafe to drive, forcing you to pull over. After stopping, the engine would not restart and required a tow. This sudden power loss could pose a serious safety risk, especially if it happens on a highway.

Your steering wheel suddenly locked up without warning while driving in a parking lot, making it impossible to turn the vehicle. Your son was able to stop safely, but this could have caused a crash if it happened at highway speeds. Hyundai replaced the motor position detection sensor (MPDS) and the engine control unit (ECU) to fix the issue.

Your 2022 Palisade shudders and jerks while driving, with the check engine light flashing and an "Engine Overheating" message appearing on the dashboard. The engine was replaced by the dealer, and spark plugs were changed, but the jerking and overheating issues continue — the vehicle is now consuming coolant rapidly and feels like it might stall. The dealer was unable to service it further, and Hyundai is investigating the problem.

Your SUV has shut down completely while driving on two separate occasions, losing all electrical power, steering assist, and engine function. The first incident occurred after you replaced the battery; the second happened after the dealer diagnosed a faulty alternator and battery. Both times you experienced warning lights, a dead radio, loss of power steering, and a completely black dashboard while on the highway — creating a dangerous situation with no emergency lighting to warn other traffic.

You received recall notices for both the airbags and seat belts in your 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The seat belt recall letter indicates repairs won't be available until February 2026, which you feel is an unreasonably long wait. You haven't experienced any actual failures yet. The manufacturer will need to perform the recall repairs when parts and service become available.

Your 2022 Palisade has had 2 safety recalls issued for seat belts and seats, which concerns you for your family's safety. You're asking about options to have Hyundai buy back the vehicle due to these recalls. Contact your Hyundai dealer or NHTSA to discuss your buyback eligibility and state lemon law options.

Your car's child safety locks on the rear doors are failing frequently. You'll hear clicking sounds coming from the doors, and a warning message will appear on your dashboard indicating the child locks have malfunctioned. This is concerning since you have young children who rely on these locks for safety. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the child lock actuator mechanism and either replacing or repairing the faulty door lock components.

Your car's radiator failed and was replaced, but afterward the radiator hoses kept coming loose and needed to be retightened. The upper radiator hose was eventually replaced, yet you continue to experience coolant leaks every winter that require service visits. You've also experienced delays with Hyundai addressing recall issues and obtaining recalled parts.

Your fuel pump or fuel injector has failed, even though your car has less than 100,000 miles. This could cause your engine to run poorly, stall, or not start at all. You'll likely need to replace the fuel pump or fuel injectors to restore normal operation.

Your engine is stalling at every stop and requires restarting, accompanied by a pinging noise during acceleration. The dealership found your oil level dangerously low, causing misfiring, but your low oil warning light didn't activate. Despite having all maintenance records, your engine is burning approximately 0.75 to 0.9 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles—far more than normal—yet the dealership says this is within Hyundai's acceptable range. Fixing this issue will likely require diagnosing the cause of excessive oil consumption, which could involve inspecting piston rings, valve seals, or gaskets.
