2025 Hyundai Palisade brakes complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 96 of 96, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On June 30th, I turn right, into a parking lot. I take an immediate left and pull up to a stop sign at the end of a fast food driveway. There is about a 30 ft distance between turning right off of the main road and stopping at the stop sign. While attempting to brake, they lock up and skid. I have a scared foster child in the car. I was unable to brake, only using my right foot. I have to apply pressure to finally be able to get it to stop, with my left foot as well. While doing this, I hit my left, big toenail on the brake pedal and rip half of it off. Upon a quick Google search, looking for issues with the brakes, I discover that there is a current lawsuit for 2023-2025 Palisade models for ABS and traction control issues. Clearly this is a reoccurring issue. I take my brand new car into the Hyundai service department to have a look at the brakes. They see nothing wrong.
ABS not working property. Breaks will skip and pulse when breaking at low speeds on uneven roads or small bumps resulting in longer distance to break. Hyundai service states no known issue with 2025 ABS and states I would have to pay to have it looked at. I bought it in March 2025 and issue started one week ago.
1) Transmission sticks and doesn't shift at higher speeds, had dealer look at could not replicate. I have had many instances of this happening. Safety issue is this usually happens when accelerating to get on freeway or passing someone and then I need to back off gas pedal to get it to change gears 2) Anti collision warning goes on for no reason - has not engaged brakes. Safety issue is both times I hit the brakes thinking i was going to hit something but there was nothing in front of me.- will talk with dealer service manager this week 3) Anti lock brakes engaged at a normal stop - this could have caused an accident. I was able to stop car going into intersection by slamming breaks on - this has happened twice. Huge safety issue as I was entering a intersection and had trouble stopping the car. will talk with dealer service manager this week
Unknown. In a span of 15 minutes, I encountered 3 events in traffic where accidents could've occurred. I was in the middle turning lane, completely stopped. I tried to accelerate and start left turn when the car shut down, all lights on dashboard lit up. There's an alert saying push P (park) and restart engine. It took 2 or 3 times of trying to get the car to start. Once started the engine and oil lights came on. They went off soon after. Luckily, the car stopped before the turn started or there may have been an accident. I continue my drive down the street, come to an intersection where I slowly brake, the front passenger tire hit a pothole and the car slid into intersection (my foot still on the brake) instead of coming to a compete stop before the intersection. Again, accident avoided only because the oncoming traffic passed before car slid forward. Lastly, trying to get home safely and shaken badly, I come to another intersection. I'm the first car with 4 cars behind me. I'm completely stopped at a red light. The light turns green, I attempt to accelerate to move through light and the car shuts down again. All lights on dashboard light up, the emergency brake is automatically engaged and I spend the light cycle trying to get the car to restart. I had to release the emergency parking brake, put car in park, try to push start button. Last steps repeated more than once. Thank goodness the cars behind me were paying attention and didn't drive based on the light being green. There was no warning for any of these events. It was extremely scary and I don't trust the car to drive it further. I'm having it towed to the dealership for inspection. This is a 2025 with 636 miles on it and about 8 incidents regarding safety since purchased less than 2 months ago.
I can come to a complete stop and then will notice the car start to inch forward with foot still on brake which then, I’ll push foot down as far as it’ll go to stop car again. I’ll brake, stop car, put it into park and the entire car will jerk forward. I’m nervous this is going to cause an accident. The car is 2025 with ~600 miles. This is a daily issue since purchase. Appointment scheduled with dealership but they never seem to find anything.
The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH from making a right turn and attempting to stop the vehicle for a traffic light, with the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard, and the vehicle failed to stop. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle in front before coming to a complete stop. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was not filed, and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the federal safety agency hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.
At mid to low speeds when pressing the brakes, I can feel excessive shaking and vibration when going over uneven roads. I’m located in Queens, New York so you can imagine the roads aren’t the smoothest. However not speaking of pot holes or anything like that just any uneven surface bump. It causes the brakes to feel like ABS kicking on but no abs lights or anything just the feeling. I only feel it on low to mid speeds probably because faster speeds usually indicate highway driving and it’s usually pretty smooth when going those speeds.
My 25 Pallisade front end/front wheels shake violently when braking and hitting a bump at the same time. It shakes so hard my steering wheel shakes also. It can happen when braking hard, soft, small bump, big bump, it doesn’t seem to matter. It is brand new and I took it into the dealership when there was about 1500 miles on it. They didn’t find anything wrong.
When applying normal braking at 20 mph, the car began to shutter and slid approximately 20 feet past where it should have stopped. It felt like the ABS was engaging.
I was traveling in a parking lot, no more than 3mph and went to stop at the stop sign and my brakes locked up and I couldn't come to a complete stop for several feet. The car skid a few times before being able to fully stop. This was extremely scary, especially having a child in the car with me. Not only that, due to the car not stopping with only using my right foot, I went to also use my left foot to apply more pressure to the brake pedal, I ripped off a large portion of my toenail on my big, left toe. After doing a quick Google search, one of the first things that pops up is a class action lawsuit for this exact reason, that was established on May 9th of this year for 2023-2025 models. I have contacted the dealership and the manufacturer. This is an extremely concerning issue.
On bumpy road, while at low speeds, the steering shakes violently and the brake does not engage. I have to keep hitting the brake multiple times for the car to stop.
Brand new car came with warped rotors and rattling noise unresolved. Major safety issue due to brake failure. A few times braking due to red light, upon braking the car would stutter stop and at times not start stopping until brake pedal fully stepped on, had a few near accidents. At a McDonalds and Wendy’s drive through, foot on brakes but car would still move forward even though was at a complete stop(car moved forward from a complete stop even though foot is still stepping on brake pedal). Have heard rattling on right side of car when braking, unknown cause, mentioned it but dealership completely ignored it due to cannot replicate(happens once in a while), was not documented on invoice, planning to bring into dealership and demanding a full panel diagnostic. Major safety concern because I have children and what if brakes fail at a busy intersection.
When driving at a low rate of speed to stop, when you hit a bump or uneven road, the brakes lock up, the vehicle will lurch, and will not stop. This has happened several times on pavement, gravel roads, and dirt roads. I have had to steer off the road to keep from going into oncoming traffic. It has also caused me to go through stop signs. I am terrified to drive this vehicle in fear of being in an accident
There have been several instances--at least a dozen--where I will apply the brakes over a bump, pothole, or steep driveway and the car will skid. It's exactly how it feels when ABS activates when a car brakes on an icy road. The brake will disengage then re-engage, delaying the overall stop time. The skid feeling when the brake releases is unnerving and, again, delays the stopping time. Luckily I have not been close enough to the car in front of me and no collisions have occurred. It has happened often enough that I can often anticipate when it will occur (like over a bump), and I allow myself more time to brake. However, one can't predict when you need an emergency stop and it's scary to think my car could possibly not stop in time. I will issue a complaint to the dealer, as well. This issue has not been inspected by anyone yet but I plan to have our dealer look at it. No warning lights on the dash have come on during any of the times the skidding has occurred.
Overly sensitive and dangerous abs system when in gravel or uneven surfaces the abs will trigger and basically u lose all stopping power and your steering wheel vibrates I've almost hit something head on and ran through an intersection because of this
ABS kicked in at a stop sign going 15 mph. Car jerked forward into an intersection and did not stop quickly. This problem has occurred since this incident.
I have a 2025 Hyundai Palisade with ABS issue that has occurred at least 3 times since first occurrence at 1700 miles while on an incline turning right rode on rumble strip at about 15 to 20mph. The abs activated no abs light on dash, ride became extremely bumping and car will not stop at the light before the stop light. The was not able to steer left or right. This situation occurred two more times at decline and incline while turning at light. The car felt extremely unsafe when this event occurred.
I was driving on a road that was very rough with many bumps and the car (well in front of me) began to slow down to avoid a big pot hole, I applied my brakes to slow down before I got close to that car. Because the road was rough, as many others have filed the same complaint now, my Palisade engaged the ABS and the car coasted much farther than it shoudl have with the amount of brake pressure I was applying to stop before I collided with the vehicle slowing in front of me. The ABS prevented me from stopping before I almost hit the car who at that point had stopped in front of me, the forward collision warning came on and the emergency braking applied violently which almost caused a wreck behind me as well becuase the person behind me was not prepared to me to come to a complete abrupt halt. The palisade stopped itself after the ABS wouldn't let me stop soon enough to avoid a collision in front of me - almost causing a wreck behind me. With a simple google search, this ABS engaging on rough roads is a major common problem that Hyundai needs to address before we're all paying for wrecks that we didn't cause due to driver neglience but rather the functionality of the vehicle is causing the safety problem. I immediately called my dealership and have an appt for them to look at it early next week. I'm frightened this will cause me or my wife and kids to be in a wreck that could have been prevented.
When I drive over small pothole with low speed up to 15mph my abs activated
I have had issues with the brakes on my brand new 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The first incident was in a parking lot. I was driving up to the exit of the parking lot, driving very slow. When I pushed on the brakes, the brake pedal shook, the car lurched forward and did not stop as it should. From what I have read online, this seems like an ABS system failure. Similar things have also happened on bumpy street coming up to a stop sign driving at slow speeds. Luckily, I have been able to stop before going into an intersection. This is very scary when it happens and especially when my family is in the car. I am driving slow but if I am unable to stop and go into an intersection, I will cause an accident. I took the car to the dealership this morning. They inspected it and were unable to recreate it. They said they cannot do anything until the issue can be replicated. We bought this car because of its safety rating but driving around with brakes that are not reliable is definitely a safety issue.
As seen on many complaints online, the ABS system is failing when coming to a stop on dry roads. If you hit the slightest bump it will lung forward and you are unable to stop the car for 15-20 feet. This has happened numerous times almost causing an accident with my family. My fiancé was driving the kids to school and she hit the brakes at a stop light and she was unable to stop until she was in the intersection. Luckily, the cars coming were able to avoid her. She is petrified to drive this car. Hyundai has a case open and since they can't replicate it at the dealership, they send me my car back. It has been at the dealership twice for this issue and it has happened again. There are no options for me at this point other than to drive an unsafe car.
I was driving not even 5 miles per hour because I was coming to a turn I was making there was bumps in the road I ran over and lost control of the car no steering at all I couldn't stop it felt like I had a blow out and then I stomped on the brake hard and it stopped before it hit the curb with no codes or anything to tell Me what happened
When traveling slowly and braking, if you hit a bump the car steering begins to shake wildly that makes you feel you will lose control. You have to bump the brakes to make it stop. Seems like the anti lock brakes kick in when it shouldn’t and because it is the front tires make the car violently shake. Happens intermittently and difficult to reproduce at will. Has happened numerous times. Brought to dealership and because it can’t be reproduced at will they will not investigate the issue. Seems to be only a matter of time this will cause an accident.
On three separate occasions while driving in moderate stop-and-go traffic, I experienced an intermittent issue with my braking system. I was unable to fully depress the brake pedal. In some instances, the pedal felt like it was grinding as I pressed it down. The grinding sound was similar to what you might hear when there’s surface rust on the brakes in the morning, but it was coming from the brake pedal. I had been driving for a while and it hadn’t rained in days. I also felt feedback in the pedal during these instances, even though the issue did not appear to be related to the brake pads or rotors. This reduced my ability to brake effectively, and although I have not been involved in a crash, the safety of myself and those around me on the road was potentially in jeapordy. The issue is sporadic and does not trigger any dashboard warning lights.
I'm writing to report a safety issue with my 2025 Palisade Calligraphy Knight Edition. The other day, I was driving in town on a rough road, going under 25 miles per hour, when I came to a stop sign. I pressed on the brakes, but the car wouldn't stop completely. It kept moving forward, shuddering, and the ABS wouldn't stop. It felt like the brakes were not engaging properly, and the ABS was malfunctioning. It did finally stop on its own, but it was really scary. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I believe the braking system, and potentially the ABS, malfunctioned. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the vehicle did not stop as expected, and I had limited control over the vehicle's movement. This could have resulted in a collision. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. This is the first time it has happened. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle and its components have not been inspected by anyone regarding this issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I'm worried that this could happen again, and I want to make sure that other drivers are aware of this potential problem. I've only had my Palisade for less than 100 miles, so I'm hoping this is an isolated incident.
