Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I feel that this is a huge safety issue as I have 3 grandchildren that I watch everyday and have to have 2 of them in the 3rd row and 1 in the middle section, I love this vehicle but know I am afraid to drive it when I have them. This should be fixed immediately. Every day that there is not a fix is a day that I am putting my grand children's life in danger”

NHTSA complaint #11730903, filed 2026-04

“I opened a case with Hyundai corporate due to the safety recalls, one being the second row seat belts and now the ejection recall for the third row passenger. I was told to use caution only to my request of a loaner or rental reimbursement. Hyundai is NOT honoring rental reimbursements as they submitted.”

“Driver seatbelt will unbuckle or detach from buckle while driving. Multiple times it has happened where driving in dangerous conditions and the seatbelt will unbuckle while driving. Sometimes it will unbuckle itself quietly and I won’t notice it but the car will alert me to say it has been unlatched from the buckle.”

“My driver seat belt has randomly popped off while driving it has happened 4 times since I bought this used 2020 palisade at the end of February it’s very scary and i don’t feel safe in this car. I don’t think it has happened with my kids seatbelts but I don’t trust them , I do not have the exact dates”

NHTSA complaint #11610565, filed 2024-08

“The second row driver side seat belt both comes unlatched and will not catch on the latch. This is intermittent but happens about 70% of the time. I feel it is dangerous and needs a repair immediately. It has been going on since May of this year. My 13-year-old most often occupies that seat.”
