2025 Hyundai Palisade: problems, recalls and reliability

“While driving normally with the vehicle already in Drive, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion and displayed a message instructing me to shift to Park or Neutral. I attempted to select both Park and Neutral, but the vehicle would not respond to the shift controls. I ultimately turned the vehicle off and restarted it, after which it operated normally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Hyundai dealer. No stored fault codes were found, and the dealer has been unable to reproduce the event during road testing and GDS flight recording. The underlying cause remains unidentified. I am concerned that recurrence in moving traffic or while crossing an intersection could create a crash risk.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Sep 2026

“After slowing to make a right or left turn, pressing on the accelarrator causes no response for ten to fifteen seconds. This proble seems to be in numerous Palisades for 2023 to 2026. Numerous message boards have reports of this issue with the dealer not being able to repair the problem. I myself almost gor into an accident due to this issue.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Sep 2026

“Upon returning home on 7/20/2025, I smelled a strong odor of gasoline. I looked under the car and saw that gas was leaking from a small hole on the (R) rear side of the tank. The hole was an approximately 1/16" . Due to danger of flammable fuel vapor and leaking gas I parked away from the house and put a temporary plug to stop the leak. I was shocked to find that the fuel tank was unshielded and made of thin walled plastic. There no warning indicators given prior to this incident. The vehicle has 12383 miles on it. Cause of the leak is unknown, possibly a poor mold casting of the tank.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Jul 2026

Neither the dealer nor an independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,958.”Owner report · Seats · Jul 2026

“This vehicle has had an open recall for defective seat belts since 9/11/2025, but the Hyundai dealership I purchased from has been unable to perform repairs due to insufficient parts on hand. I've been told we're on a waitlist for parts but there is a nationwide shortage and there is no estimate when parts will be available.”Owner report · Seat Belts · Jul 2026
