2023 Hyundai Palisade Brakes Problems

Your brakes stutter and lurch when braking over uneven pavement, even at low speeds, making it difficult to stop smoothly. This has happened multiple times at various speeds (5 mph to 35 mph), and in some cases you've nearly hit other vehicles or entered intersections when you couldn't stop in time. The problem started within the first few months of owning the car and continues despite reporting it to the dealership multiple times. This likely involves inspection and possible replacement of brake components that may be sensitive to uneven road surfaces.

On [XXX] around [XXX], turned right from [XXX] is very bumpy due to potholes. My palisade’s ABS kicked in and I was not able to break my car before the red traffic light. The car went over the light.

It appears that the ABS system engages/actuates while driving over gravel or uneven/dirt roads. When the issue occurs, the steering wheel locks up and the vehicle loses almost all braking control. No warning lights, messages or audible chimes show up when the issue occurs.

System that malfunctioned was the braking system Safety was risked because vehicle doesn’t stop as it should at low speed below 30mph. Safety of occupants as well pedestrians and other motorists affected. Problem can be reproduced although dealer refused to confirm.

ABS system malfunctions when traveling over bumps and applying brakes simultaneously. This condition happens intermittently and is found to be present in other automobiles of the same make and model. (Experienced in a rental vehicle).

On July 16, 2025 in stop and go traffic on I55 the cra failed to stop at 5mph. The road was bumpy on an overpass. I attempted to stop the car.

At 2:38 pm on Thursday, April 17th, I was driving southbound on a street and I had just picked up my daughter from school. There were a lot of cars since school just got out.

This is a known issue happening to Palisades and Hyundai isn’t acknowledging the issue. A braking issue has been going on for a while but hadn’t become a safety concern for me until this month. While braking but moving under 10mph, even less, the ABS system will engage without warning when driving over bumps or somewhat uneven road surface.

ABS shakes when crossing over different terrains. Car does not stop as fast as it should. I am afraid for the safety of my family and other drivers on the road if I can't stop.

As I was driving my car to work on 11/8/24 my pallisades brakes failed to work. As I was approaching a red light after stopping at a stop sign, It started to vibrate, like trying to grab traction, it did not slow down and continue the same speed until I almost hit a car at the light.

I was approaching a stop sign, slowing down to around ~20 MPH, then gently applied the brakes. All of a sudden, the car stared to lurch forward and the steering wheel shuddered violently as the ABS braking appeared to kick in. As the brakes were applied, the vehicle kept bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and it took almost twice as long to stop than it should have.

Vehicle would not slow when brakes were applied. Traveling under 20mph on dry, level, clear, straight surface. Brakes were applied and no response from vehicle.

A severe safety concern with our 2023 Hyundai Palisade, which has been present since the day we received the vehicle. When braking on uneven roads, the brakes jitter and stutter. This issue does not seem to occur on flat surfaces; however, it is always at lower rate of speed when roads have bumps.

My wife nearly crashed into a vehicle because the brakes on her 2023 Palisade would not work! I researched and she is not the only one this has happened to. It seems to be a known issue but there is no recall assigned to this, which is a huge safety concern for my wife and for our daughters, which were in the car when this happened.

*Conditions: sunny, dry, about 70 degrees While driving at a lower speed (< 20 MPH), I started applying my brakes just before going over a railroad track. After starting to initially slow down, I crossed the railroad tracks and my brakes started pulsing very loudly but were no longer slowing down the car.

While driving at slow speed I took my foot off the gas and applied pressure to the brake pedal. The brakes did not work properly; the brakes engaged and disengaged multiple times and the car continued to lurch forward almost resulting in a collision. This is a critical failure of the braking system and is extremely unsafe.

When pressing the brake pedal over uneven pavement (at low speeds of less than 10 MPH) the brake pedal shuddered so harshly I thought I wouldn't be able to stop. The first time this occurred, I was driving over a manhole cover and braking as I was behind a school bus slowing to a stop at a stop sign - I thought I was going to collide with the bus.

Was in traffic on a summer dry day when I went to stop again at a speed under 15 and brakes locked up the steering wheel starting to shake and brakes were pulsating up and down I had to really push down hard and all the way on the brakes and it finally stopped the car. I almost rear ended the car infront of me no lights came on the dash no warning noises

After hitting any size bump my car does not stop, the car starts shaking, and I have to slam on the brake in order to stop. This has happened multiple times, the most recent caused me to almost run a red light and cause and accident. I am reaching out to the dealer today.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while in stop-and-go traffic, the brake pedal was depressed and was abnormally stiff. As a result, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop and crashed into another vehicle.

I purchased my vehicle from South Point Hyundai in Austin, Texas on [XXX], 2022. Almost immediately after purchase, I began having trouble with the vehicle’s braking system. In essence, the vehicle seems to inappropriately activate its ABS while braking over uneven surfaces (think-parking lots, speed bumps) in dry conditions.

My 2023 Hyundai Palisade has experienced loss of braking/power braking at least three times (two of which almost resulted in a collision). It is not within recall 23V415000. After the first failure, the service center did the recommended repairs (replace faulty brake booster) of that recall.

My 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD engages the anti-lock braking system when I go over small bumps sometimes. It has happened at least twice in the last 24 hours and almost caused an accident because it resulted in a longer than expected braking time and distance. I have scheduled an appointment, but am unable to be seen for another two weeks so the dealer has not inspected it yet.

Brakes failed. Brake pedal went to floor unable to stop. First the dealership said it was the ABS sensor failed.

The engine shut off suddenly while driving 3x times in 17 days of ownership, brand new car. It happened leaving the highway (decreasing speed around 40-55mph) and the brake doesn't work properly when it happens (makes it hard to break and then suddenly brake at once). I was happy no one was in front of me for 3x and I could stop safely without hurting anyone.

Vehicle fails to stop when braking after a bump/rough surface in the road. Near miss for rear ending another vehicle. Yes, the problem was reported and demonstrated to the dealer service technician.

ABS system engaging at unpredictable times. Unable to stop. Have slid into intersection when braking with perfect road conditions.

On Friday, February 14. 2025 at approximately 9:05 am I was leaving a parking lot to make a right hand turn on to a busy three lane road. Since this issue with the brakes has occurred three times previously I make it a point to drive no more than 10 MPH in parking lots.

While driving intermittently, the brake pedal becomes hard and does not allow for eased braking. The car continues to roll forward and appears unable to stop. After pumping and applying hard pressure, finally, the brake pedal depresses fully and forces a hard and immediate stop.

ABS system engages on graveled inclines and potholes, overly sensitive. Cannot stop in time and had times where almost hit car in front. Took to dealership and they state no issues.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated.

I was going 5 MPH, hit a small bump in road and the ABS brakes kicked in and the car wouldn’t. I almost hit the car in front of me. Emergency system kicked in and luckily stopped the vehicle.

Under normal braking pressures, crossing uneven surfaces, even as normal as markings painted on the road surfaces will result in the ABS intervening to a degree beyond what is necessary or safe. No warning lamps or indicators are illuminated, but when this happens, you can hear and feel exaggerated feedback through the brake pedal.

When driving over uneven roads and if you need to apply the brakes abruptly, the ABS engages (shaking brake pedal) and I am unable to immediately stop my SUV until I’m back on even surface. This has occurred twice going over train track Road crossing and someone quickly needed to stop and once I was on the tracks I had to immediately brake but I could not slow down. SUV has 23000 miles.

My wife and I were coming up to a stop sign the other day and we hit some bumps in the road and were unable to apply the brakes. I pressed down on the pedal but the car went into the intersection before the brakes then applied and the car was then able to stop again. Thank god!!

The braking system has been an ongoing issue, shuddering and grinding when braking and hitting an uneven surface, especially at slower speeds. It has consistently become worse, shuddering, grinding and not stopping when going down a driveway. Tonight when going less than 20MPH and on a smooth surface, it would not stop when coming up to a light/intersection.

When driving over bumps (speed bumps, railroad tracks, sewer lids etc.) at a slow speed while pressing the brakes, the rear passenger brake produces a shuddering or a grinding sensation. This issue has been confirmed by other drivers who have operated my vehicle. When this occurs, it feels as though the vehicle is not stopping properly and the brakes are slipping.

ABS system is engaging on gravel road when coming to a stop at 20-25mph. Brakes don’t work and vehicle starts shaking. Hyundai dealership is saying there are no issues but this has happened periodically 4-5 times.

I received a call but could not make out the name. I was highly disappointed as my car has been with McDonald Hyundai for a week with no resolution and his call was to tell me what they will not do. He could not tell me one Hyundai would do to fix my car.

Driving on a gravel road (with small pot holes and bumps) down a slight hill caused my brake pedal to shudder making it impossible to slow to a speed I felt comfortable with. I had to remove my foot from the brake pedal and step on it as hard as I could to slow down.

When driving at low speed (<25mph) over uneven terrain, such as bumps in road or small potholes, and applying brakes, the Anti-lock braking system will engage and causing vibrations in the brake and steering column and the car will not slow down. This is documented by a multitude of drivers: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.

Under certain braking conditions, going over gaps in the road/bumps/railroad tracks and using the brakes, the brakes will lock up and stop working. The ABS seems to stop working, brake shakes hard and the car will not stop at times. Issue can occur at any speed, seems to be more common in lower speeds, under 25.

At times, when going over bumps, the brake pedal feels hard and hard to push to the floor. Other times, the brake pedal shakes and the vehicle feels as if it is shaking. The vehicle does not stop when brake pressure is applied.

When slowing down from a slow speed the car will begin to shake. This is intermittent.

Oversensitive ABS system, experiencing shaking when going over small bump on road and have to hit brakes hard to stop

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving 5 MPH – 10 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred daily, causing him to almost rear-end other vehicles.

When traveling at a modest rate of speed, if I apply the brakes going over any slightly uneven terrain the ABS triggers randomly and makes braking really difficult. It takes longer to stop and much harder pressure. I have reported this issue to the dealer but per usual they "cannot duplicate ", however it happens very often and my dash cam has caught it.

When coming to a stop at a slow speed on uneven ground, my vehicle would not brake. It vibrated and wouldn’t gain traction like the antilock breaking system activated. I had to pump the brake multiple times to finally get the car to stop before hitting the vehicle in front of me.

Please see attachment:

Anti locking braking system malfunctioning and preventing me from braking at low speeds in a parking lot and at a stop light. No lights on internally (Dash). Had to swerve to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me at the stop light and had to hit my horn to have the person in the parking lot slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me.

ABS kicks on while going slowly over uneven, bumpy roads, or train tracks. The entire car vibrates and I cannot stop the vehicle even when hitting the brake as hard as possible. The car continues forward for a few seconds after causing me to nearly rear-end other vehicles stopped at a red light.

We were in slow traffic, stop and go…and my wife went to stop and the car started pulsating and the brake pedal did not work. I checked online and there are reports of this issue and there are no recalls for our car. This was not anyone’s imagination and she had to pull/turn the car to the right to plan on avoiding hitting the car in front of us…as it was pulsating.

When slowing down using the break at low speeds over a bumpy terrain (gate track or drainage inlet) front of car shakes violently and vehicle does not slow down as fast as it seems like it should.

Dear Sir, My car has brake acceleration several times.

I steep on the brakes when I was coming to a gas pump when I did that the car started to shake. It's seams it's was the ABS I thought the car was not going to stop. I had to press the brakes all the way down for the car it stop.

Leaving parking lot. Approaching Exit to street to turn right. Going slow and applying the brakes.

When hitting a pothole or bump at low speeds the braking system fails and does not brake. As if the ABS system engages and leaves me going further when I need to stop. This problem always happens on the same street where I live

The ABS seems to kick in over aggressively. It will kick in and the brake pedal gets all jiggly on slight changes in road situations. For example, going into my driveway, driving over a manhole cover, etc.

The car would not brake when approaching a stoplight and I nearly ran into the vehicle in front of me. I had my daughters and a friend of theirs in the car and it could have been disastrous if I were to have not been able to brake and drove into cross traffic! This issue needs to be addressed immediately before someone gets seriously injured or dies!

ABS system activates when braking is applied over rough dry roadways, such as railroad tracks, rubble strips, or general bumps in the road, (minor potholes or manhole covers.)

When moving over bumpy ground at slow speeds - the brakes don’t latch on properly. The entire vehicle shakes and continues to move forward in a bumpy fashion. Never happened to me in any other car and I drive the same routes everyday.

Was turning right going down hill the road was slightly bumpy. During the turn it felt like the ABS system kicked in and the car was not slowing down. Also felt like I did not have any control of the vehicle.

The Hyundai Palisade 2023 faces a braking issue when going over an uneven or rough patch on the road. When the brake is depressed, the vehicle does not slow down. The brake vibrates and does not fully engage.

Under slow speeds and while applying brakes over bumps, the breaks become unresponsive. The car does not react to pushing the brakes pedal. It almost feels like ABS is kicking in but the car does not slow down.

I was driving over train tracks at about 5 MPH when my car wouldn’t brake. I was jamming down on the pedal and that eventually triggered a really aggressive ABS and emergency braking. I came millimeters away from hitting the car in front of me and the whole time it felt like I had zero control of the car and the car just had a mind of its own.

Anti- lock brakes shutter the whole vehicle at slow speeds Then you have to lock up the brakes to stop the vehicle
