NHTSA complaint #11733090, filed 2026-04“I am reporting a serious safety issue involving my 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The vehicle has repeatedly produced white smoke during cold start and has experienced loss of engine power while driving. Despite multiple repair visits (six times) to an authorized Hyundai dealership, the dealer repeatedly stated that the condition could not be reproduced and no repairs were performed. I provided video evidence of the white smoke and described the symptoms in writing at each visit. …”
NHTSA complaint #11718913, filed 2026-02“The vehicle has roughly 8500 miles on it in the first year. We have experienced multiple engine misfires due to bad ignition coils on cylinders 3 & 4.

NHTSA complaint #11703453, filed 2025-12“Unknown. Twice while trying to accelerate onto highway on ramp, the car did not go faster immediately as expected. It didn’t pick up speed. I’m trying to go from 35 to 60 and there’s a delay from the time I step on gas until the car actually go faster. It didn’t stall or shut off. If someone was behind me, I fear i would have been rear ended. Dealership said diagnostic test was fine and unable to reproduce. They reset computer and said it must be my driving. Car had ~310 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11673240, filed 2025-07“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. …”
