2025 Hyundai Palisade: jerking or lurching

Filed Sep 28, 2026 · Driver assistance · OH

On August 10, 2026, at approximately 12,302 miles, I took the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealer after it stalled multiple times, including once while accelerating. I also reported sluggishness/loss of power. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle subsequently stalled two additional times. In September 2026, while driving at highway speed with cruise control engaged, the vehicle suddenly and aggressively decelerated/braked as though it detected an obstacle ahead, although no vehicle or obstacle was present. A similar event occurred the following day. Unexpected braking, loss of power, or stalling at highway speed creates a serious collision risk. I have also experienced a forward-collision warning when no vehicle was in front of me and intermittent jerking/hesitation. I returned the vehicle to the Hyundai dealer on September 22, 2026, at approximately 14,548 miles. The dealer performed diagnostic scans and approximately 42 miles of road testing. No relevant DTCs were found, the problems could not be reproduced, and no repair was performed. The dealer documented the result as No Trouble Found. There were no consistent warning lamps or messages before the stalling or unexpected deceleration. The cause remains unresolved despite multiple dealer visits.

Driving less than 30 mph, the Forward Collision System enaged (there was nothing near the vehicle) and the vehicle suddenly jerked and braked pulling the car as if it was not in its lane.

It happened on the way home from Manhattan [from Mount Sinai Hospital], near the ramp to 9W. The road was freshly milled (top layer removed before repaving), and I was going downhill. Traffic ahead was slowing, I had plenty of room, and it wasn’t even a sudden stop — I was just trying to gradually slow down when the car failed to respond properly. This isn’t some one-off. The behavior matches what I’ve seen others report: at low speeds, on rough or uneven surface, the ABS seems to engage when it shouldn’t, and instead of stopping, the car jerks forward. I’ve been able to replicate it a few times now — I more or less can sense when it might happen. To make matters worse, my pregnant wife was in the passenger seat when this happened. She injured her left shoulder during the crash, and the very next day she had to undergo an emergency C-section. Because her lower body was numbed for surgery, the pain in her shoulder made the whole experience much harder for her [btw, Mother and Baby are perfectly fine, thanks god]. This has left me shaken that a family SUV can have such a dangerous defect on the road. There is a lawsuit already, but this needs to be taken very seriously. https://www.classaction.org/news/2023-2025-hyundai-palisade-vehicles-plagued-by-brake-problems-class-action-suit-claims

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.

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

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.
