2023 Hyundai Palisade suspension problems

Filed Sep 27, 2026 · Suspension · TN

I have a 2023 Hyundai Palisade Issue: At low speeds under 20 MPH, on bumpy, rough surfaces, more noticeable when turning (left or right) and going on an incline (up or down), there is low level noise from the backend undercarriage of the Palisade such as clunking or thumping noise. The failure is persistent and gotten progressively worse. The failure was duplicated at the dealer. This is a known issue from Hyundai. See Technical Service Bulletin 26-SS-001H created on May 2026 Hyundai has formally acknowledged this rear-shock noise problem. Technical Service Bulletin 26-SS-001H, Warranty Extension Z12. Problem: Certain Palisades may have a clunking or thumping noise from the rear while driving over rough roads, caused by worn self-leveling rear shock absorbers. In the Technical Service Bulletin 26-SS-001H it says Please note that for the first repair, replacement of both rear shock absorbers will be covered by this warranty extension. For subsequent repairs, one or both rear shock absorbers will be covered depending upon the impacted side(s). I reviewed the Hyundai TSB 26-SS-001H closely. I think I have a solid basis for a firm escalation email, especially because Hyundai's own bulletin specifically contemplates "subsequent repairs" for the same rear shock problem. This raises a serious question for me as an owner: What is Hyundai's permanent corrective action for this problem? Replacing the same suspension components repeatedly after the condition returns is not an acceptable long-term solution. I should not have to repeatedly return a relatively new vehicle to the dealership for the same suspension problem, particularly after the prescribed repair has already been performed and the condition returned approximately one month later. I will write a professional but firm email to the Dealer (who has been very nice and Hyundai. If they cannot fix it, I will need to review my state's lemon law requirements.

Two simultaenous problems happened: 1) loud clunking/thudding during low-speed turn. 2) Clunking/knocking/rattling noise from suspensions when going through uneven grounds. This both things happened before 20,000 miles. Had AWD coupling and rear differential unit replaced under warranty regarding problem 1). Had rear shocks replaced under warranty regarding problem 2). Found there has bben TSB issued related to 2), for older models, TSB 25-SS-004H but not for this year of models. Those two exact problems started again at about 40,000 miles. Had vehicle checked at 50,500 miles recently. Regarding problem 1), the dearship found issue with AWD coupling, stating faulty parts, drive shaft seal was 1/8" off and materials are fused. Replaced AWE coupling, and ECU program update. After program update, I do not see the power distribution monitor anymore from my dash. The program update should turned it off for some reason that I do not know. I have no clue that AWD module is working normal as I cannot see the power distribution action anymore. Regarding problem 2), they replaced both rear shocks again. The problem went away for now. This vehicle has been only 50,000 miles and had 4 major issues (2 times of two major identical issues) that alongside with many owners' compaints, and seems highly related to one of Technical Service Bulletin that was previously issued for older models. I would like to request investigation on these services.

The self leveling shocks have gone bad two times now in a matter of 4 months. The first time we had no major issues but the second time it caused the ABS system to kick in while making a left turn. The dealer said it was caused by the car not sensing the correct posture because of the shocks turning on the ABS system and causing us not to be able to brake for about 10-15 feet. If there was a person or vehicle in the way we would have crashed.

I have had to replace tires 5 times since I got the vehicle. The mechanic said there may be a balance issue with the car and it is wearing on the rims/tires prematurely. Currently 63000 miles on car.

2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE VIN [XXX] Vehicle rear shock absorbers failed. Steering and drivability adversely impacted. Many many many complaints online document these defective parts and Hyundai's failure to resolve problems and supply properly functioning parts. Hyundai customer service is useless and claims no information on replacement part availability or time. Now that Hyundai has their newest problem of killing babies in their defective third row seats, I would have thought Hyundai would resolve outstanding issues. the federal safety agency needs to intervene now.

At low speed, and today for the first time completed stopped at a stop sign, we here and feel a very loud "thunk" through the steering wheel and coming from under the front end of the vehicle. It's very loud and jerks the steering wheel when it happens, and can be felt through the car seats as well. The whole vehicle seems to shake. This has happened so far approximately ten times, and we are losing confidence in the car's safety. The dealer told us that he had not heard of this problem, but we know that to be untrue, because a simple google search reveals that it is a known issue.

Rear Shocks Failed. Were Replaced under warranty. This is the second time this has occurred

Filed Jan 23, 2026 · Suspension · IN

I am writing to report a recurring safety-related issue with my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The rear shocks on my vehicle failed at approximately 29,000 miles and were replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, the same components have failed again at around 65,000 miles, resulting in a noticeably rough, unstable, and unsafe ride. The repeated failure of these suspension parts raises concerns about the durability and reliability of the vehicle’s rear shock system, as well as the potential risk it poses to occupants and other drivers. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed to determine whether a broader defect investigation is warranted.
