2022 Hyundai Palisade: engine stalls while driving

Filed Nov 8, 2026 · Engine · FL

I am filing an immediate safety complaint regarding a severe engine defect on my vehicle and the manufacturer's dangerous diagnostic protocol. The vehicle is experiencing active engine failure symptoms, including [insert symptoms here, e.g., severe knocking, sudden hesitation, intermittent stalling, or a flashing check engine light]. I have clear video evidence of the failure, and the dealership's Shop Foreman inspected the vehicle and diagnosed it with an internal engine problem. Despite a formal diagnosis from their own Shop Foreman and video proof of the failure, Hyundai Techline is attempting to deflect liability by blaming a previously installed aftermarket oil filter. The dealership has since replaced the aftermarket filter with an OEM filter. However, instead of repairing the diagnosed internal engine defect, they are forcing me to drive this malfunctioning vehicle for an additional 1,000 miles to "duplicate" the issue. Operating a vehicle with a known, documented internal engine failure on public roads poses an immediate and severe safety hazard to myself, my kids, and other drivers. The vehicle is at imminent risk of sudden engine stalling, complete power loss, or catastrophic mechanical seizure at highway speeds, which could cause a serious collision. The manufacturer is actively demanding that I operate a dangerous vehicle as a condition of their warranty process, shifting extreme physical liability onto the consumer.

The vehicle experienced severe engine stalling and critically low oil levels that were officially documented by an authorized dealership well before 100,000 miles (at approximately 79,000 miles). Because this pre-existing condition remained unresolved under warranty, the engine ultimately failed and required a complete replacement at approximately 103,000 miles. Just 7,000 miles later, at 110,000 miles, the automatic transmission suffered a critical failure. The transmission severely shudders, spikes to excessively high RPMs, and refuses to shift properly through lower gears (gears 1 to 3). This causes sudden hesitation, loss of motive power, and violent jerking when accelerating and merging into active traffic, creating an imminent crash hazard. The manufacturer has refused repair assistance despite cascading powertrain defects that originated prior to 100,000 miles.

Vehicle: 2022 Hyundai Palisade, approximately 78,000 miles. The vehicle has experienced a recurring engine/powertrain malfunction involving engine stalling, hesitation/rough operation, startup rattling, cylinder air/fuel imbalance, and misfires. The exact failed component is currently UNKNOWN. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has stalled at low speeds, creating a safety concern because the engine can unexpectedly shut off or lose power while the vehicle is being operated in traffic. Unexpected stalling could leave the vehicle without normal acceleration when entering or crossing traffic and creates a risk of a collision involving the occupants or other motorists.The vehicle has been evaluated and serviced by a Hyundai dealership for engine-related concerns. Diagnostic trouble codes associated with these problems have included P000C, P219D, P219F, P21A0, and P0302. Of particular concern, P219D, indicating a Cylinder 2 air/fuel ratio imbalance, has occurred repeatedly, and the vehicle subsequently generated P0302, indicating a Cylinder 2 misfire. This suggests a recurring problem involving the same cylinder, although the underlying cause remains UNKNOWN.Previous repair efforts have included work involving the vehicle's VVT system, but the engine-related problems and diagnostic codes have continued/recurred. The vehicle/component has been inspected by a Hyundai dealership. To my knowledge, it has not been separately inspected by police, insurance representatives, or the federal safety agency. Whether Hyundai corporate/manufacturer representatives have directly inspected the vehicle is UNKNOWN.Prior to and during these incidents, symptoms included the check-engine warning light, startup rattling/noise, engine hesitation/rough operation, and stalling at low speeds. Diagnostic codes were stored when the check-engine light appeared. The problems have occurred on more than 100 occasion rather than being a single isolated incident.

We brought our vehicle to Anaheim Hyundai for a recall-related service update. Before releasing the vehicle back to us, dealership staff advised that we “may experience some issues” after the update and stated that this was considered “normal.” Later that same evening, the vehicle began stalling while driving. The stalling occurred 7–8 times in different driving situations, including while turning through a busy intersection with oncoming traffic. Each incident created a serious safety hazard, especially because all three of our young children were in the vehicle at the time. During each stall event, the vehicle would suddenly shake, the dashboard warning lights would illuminate, the engine would shut off, and we were forced to restart the vehicle in traffic. In addition, the RPM gauge now constantly fluctuates and shakes while driving. We immediately returned the car to the dealership. Initially, we were told there were no diagnostic error codes. Shortly afterward, the dealership informed us there was a code related to the instrument cluster. They worked with Hyundai technical support to replace and recalibrate the instrument cluster. During this process, the dealership also claimed that our battery was contributing to the stalling issue. At that point, we learned that the dealership technician had jump-started the vehicle while performing the recall update during our original visit. Based on the dealership’s recommendation, we replaced the battery. However, the stalling issue continued even after the battery replacement. We returned the vehicle a second time for the same unresolved stalling problem. During that visit, the dealership stated the issue was caused by the gas we were using, specifically Costco fuel. We were informed that multiple diagnostic codes had appeared, yet the vehicle was returned to us without the issue being resolved. Prior to the recall service, we never had any stalling or drivability issues with the vehicle.

The vehicle exhibits two distinct and dangerous behaviors: 1. Engine stalling upon deceleration: When slowing to a stop, the engine stalls abruptly before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, causing a sudden, unexpected deceleration that throws occupants forward with significant force. 2. Unintended surge upon brake release: When releasing the brake pedal from a complete stop, the vehicle surges forward unexpectedly and with excessive force, causing occupants to be jolted harshly without warning. Both incidents occur without any prior indication to the driver, leaving no opportunity to prevent the danger to occupants or others nearby. SAFETY RISK: Passengers were subjected to sudden, unexpected forward jolting without warning, posing a risk of injury. The vehicle's behavior also creates a hazard for other drivers and pedestrians in the vicinity. DEALER / SERVICE CENTER: The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center. INSPECTION BY MANUFACTURER, POLICE, OR INSURANCE: The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. WARNING LAMPS OR PRIOR SYMPTOMS: No warning lamps, dashboard messages, or prior symptoms appeared before or during these incidents. The failures occur without any advance notice to the driver, leaving no opportunity to take corrective action.

This same incident has happened twice, June of 2025 and more recently March of 2026. My vehicle will essentially have no oil left causing my car to shake while breaking and eventually the car stalls out. The first time this occurred, my vehicle stalled out in the highway and again at a 4 way stop sign. I took it to the Hyundai dealership where an oil change, oil plug and oil filter was replaced. In December of 2025, I noticed oil leaking from my vehicle, where the oil house filter was deemed the issue and was replaced. March of 2026, my car started to shake and eventually stall out again and this prompted me to check my oil levels where there was little to no oil. An oil consumption test was performed and it was noted my car is consuming 0.5 quarts of oil per 1,000 miles. Per Hyundai, this does not meet the oil consumption warranty (1 quart per 1,000 miles) and there is nothing to do for this issue at this time. My concerns are that this issue arises prior to my next recommended oil change. Also, there are no warning signs that prompt me that my oil is actually low; no dashboard warnings or notifications. I really only know this problem is occurring when my vehicle physically shows signs while I am driving. I am frustrated with this as I have to refill oil in between oil changes but also pay for the oil changes. Also, it worries me for the safety of my family while we are driving this vehicle.

Since purchasing the vehicle brand new in Oct 2021, all recommended services have been executed on time. (records to prove it can be provided if required) Aug 25, 2025. Mileage = 78,247. Full preventative maintenance including GDI Fuel Service and Oil change Nov 21, 2025. Mileage = 85,421. I am on a 2 hour commute home and the engine is stalling at every stop. Needs to be re-started each time. Pinging noise when accelerating. The car is brought into Parkway Hyundai in Wilmington, NC. Oil was below dipstick. This lack of oil causes the engine to misfire. I asked why the "low oil" light doesn't appear. I am told that he didn't know but the light only goes on when its completely out of oil. That doesn't seem safe at all. At this point, I am told by Service agent that this is a known problem with Hyundai and the recommend bringing the vehicle in for oil checks every 1,000 miles Dec 15, 2025. Mileage = 86,597. Oil check - Engine 0.4 quarts low after 1,000 miles. I am told it is "within Hyundai's range of acceptance Jan 2, 2025. Mileage = 88,463. Oil check - Engine 1.4 qts low after 2,000 miles. I am told 0.75 quarts every 1,000 miles is within the accepted range. Jan 22, 2025. Mileage = 89,487. Oil check - Engine 0.9 qts low after 1,000 miles. I am told 0.9 qts is within Hyundai's accepted range. This is unacceptable for a car to burn almost a quart of oil every 1,000 miles.

While driving, the vehicle intermittently loses engine power without warning. The loss of power occurs at normal driving speeds and during acceleration, creating an unsafe condition in traffic. When the issue occurs, the vehicle hesitates and fails to respond to throttle input, making it unsafe to merge or maintain speed. The condition occurs intermittently and does not consistently trigger warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes. Despite the absence of warning lights or stored codes, the loss of power is clearly felt while driving and presents a serious safety concern. The issue has occurred multiple times and has not been permanently resolved despite prior service visits. The intermittent nature of the failure and lack of codes makes diagnosis difficult, but the problem continues to recur and affects the safe operation of the vehicle. This loss of power creates a risk of stalling or sudden deceleration while driving, increasing the likelihood of a collision, especially in traffic or at intersections. The issue appears related to the engine timing or powertrain system.
