Adaptive cruise control controls the speed limit based on Maps or actual signs was making an error! I was in a 60 MPH area when the system would read the route number sign and mistake it for speed limit. This happened both on state route 80, and state route 70, the car would accelerate up to that speed indicated by the route sign for a few seconds and then realize somehow it was in error and drop down to legal speed. Its a surprise for the driver.

The wireless charging spot is overheating and causing phones to be overheated as well. I had to turn off the wireless charging pad due to it being extremely hot to touch and causing my phone to also be extremely hot to touch. Concerned for device damage as well as a fire risk for the vehicle.

Stopped at the gas pump and filled up. When I went to leave all dash lights were lit up and car wouldn’t move. Brakes were locked. I tried restarting and restarting. Brakes would lock up when I tried to move, either direction. I finally gases it enough that it screeched the tires to move it from in front of the gas pump.

With 2100 miles on the Hyundai Palasade Calligraphy Hybrid, we were driving on a well established dirt and gravel road when we experienced a loud pop or bang. We saw nothing in the road ahead in the form of a pot hole or protruding rock, etc. A minute later, a low tire pressure warning light came on. The tire went flat. Upon close inspection there was a cut like slit in the tire just below the bead line of the wheel rim. A look back on the road traveled, produced no clear obstruction that might have caused this. Our assessment of this is a sidewall blowout. This new vehicle comes with no spare tire. Only a pump and container of sealant. Installation of this failed to restore the tire for obvious reasons. This Pirelli 265 45R21 Scorpion MS tire is rare and not in stock anywhere. We had to tow our vehicle 50 miles to a Hyundai dealer who told us we had to wait for them to order a tire. We have spent close to 400.00 in Expenses and still did not pay for a tire yet. Searching the web reveals similar problems with this tire. This has resulted in a negative customer experience with the vehicle and Hyundai alike.

We purchased a New 2026 Hyundai Palisade Limited. We drove two other palisades (XRT and SEL). We did not have any issues with the windshield. We purchased a Limited trim that was not on the lot, but in a different city with the same company. We did not drive a Limited or Calligraphy since we drove two other palisades. When I drove off the lot with our new Palisade I noticed the vision through the windshield didn't seem right (like a fishbowl when looking right and cars in front at a certain distants). We thought, let's give it a week or two, since we many not be use to the new SUV. After less than two weeks we both said something isn't right with the windshield, still was distorted (fishbowl) type of look when driving. The dealship looked at it and said, this is how Heads Up Displays (HUD) are. They called Hyundai, Hyundai said the same thing. We do not have a HUD in our limited. The dealership said, yes you have a HUD on your Limited. After the dealership did more research they found out we do not have the Heads Up Display. Since the windshield contains the HUD and Acoustic for Limited and Calligraphy we do not have an option do replace the windshield with a lower line e.g. SEL. We are stuck with driving a car that could cause an acident due to not having a clear picture of vehicles in front or when turning right. We don't have no options but to drive a hazad SUV.

There was a recall for my 3rd row seat, my car sat at the dealer for 6 months due to it. They tell me they fixed the recall after 6 months I receive my car and my seats are not functioning. I believe the safety of my kids are at risk due to this. They have yet to take the vehicle back to fix the problem and it has been over 2 months now.
