“On February 2024, I took the SUV to Lynn's Hyundai for an issue with A front sensor or the braking system - The problem is when you're driving at times very often in the streets, the vehicle will automatically cause the brake sensor to go off the dashboard with light up and the brakes will engage causing the vehicle to jerk hard and or stop at times and I have a huge concern that this may cause a serious accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11572860, filed 2024-02“I was recently involved in an accident with my 2020 Palisade that I believe may have been caused by a brake failure. I was simply moving the vehicle from one part of a driveway to another when, as I drove over a drainage ditch, the brakes did not respond and the car suddenly accelerated into a tree. I sustained facial injuries and was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital. The vehicle is currently at Canby Motors in Bel Air and is available for inspection. The vehicle has only been inspected by Canby Motors to my knowledge at this time. …”

NHTSA complaint #11499128, filed 2022-12“On 1/24/2023 I was driving down the road from my home to go to work when, as I was going down an incline, my brakes started pulsing and I lost all braking ability. I drove thru a stop sign, into the intersection and was able to steer the car down the road. It was down a hillside. I was able to eventually stop the vehicle approximately a mile and half from where the brakes failed. I was instructed by the dealership to have the car towed to them so they could evaluate what happened. I did this. The dealership is trying to assess what happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #11505196, filed 2023-02“I was driving through town at a low rate of speed (20-30 mph) with 2-3 car lengths between me and the next vehicle. I continued through light to next light. This distance was on an upward incline. After traveling approximately 500 ft, I noticed the traffic slowing in front of me and took my foot off the accelerator to start to slow down. This is when the car suddenly accelerated (instead of slowing down as would be expected when traveling up an incline), picking up speed quickly. The car's response happened so quickly that I was unable to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me. …”
