2022 Hyundai Palisade Seats Problems

Your third-row power seat's safety feature that detects objects in its path isn't working — the seat continues closing even when it hits things like a loaded backpack, and it doesn't stop or reverse. This creates a crushing hazard, especially for children. You've documented the problem on video and reported it to Hyundai Consumer Affairs, but the issue happens every time you use the seat.

Your third-row power fold seats don't stop when closing and can crush objects underneath them. During testing, the seats closed completely over water bottles and jugs without stopping. This poses a potential safety risk, especially for children and pets who might be under or near the seats when they close.

Your third-row seat may not have a functioning occupancy sensor that detects when someone (or something) is sitting in it. When the owner tested this by placing a case of water bottles on the seat and folding it up, the sensor didn't trigger—and the bottles were crushed. This suggests the seat's safety detection system may not be working as designed. The fix would likely involve inspecting or replacing the occupancy sensor in the third-row seat.
