I had recall 283 and 292 completed at Hyundai Autonation Savannah on Abercorn 10-19-26. There are pieces broken and screws of some kind left on the floor. Additionally, the clip was broken on the underseat airbag I believe it is from my research. I have concerns about the safety of the seat and the assembly of the components. I fear that if the seat moves forward, could that cause injury to my child in the seat. Could the seatbelt not work properly? I have reached out repeatedly to have an inspection done and received no assistance. I can’t pay out of pocket right now for an inspection of the vehicle seats and safety belts. I have photo documentation of my concerns. The cosmetic aspect of it can be handled via emails and me reaching out to corporate but the safety of the seats must be addressed. I don’t know if you can help me or not. Thank you for your time.

I came to a complete stop at the stop sign and waited for several vehicles to pass on the street I needed to turn onto. I proceed to turn right but the vehicle stalled mid turn. The motor rev'd as I pressed the gas and made weird noises like the truck was stuck in neutral although it was in drive. The tires would not spin to propel me forward. I was stuck in the middle of the street. I shut the truck down for about a minute while flagging others to go around me then started the truck up again. The issue cleared. This has happened several times. Other times, the dashboard display completely blacked out and the drivemode button (eco vs sport vs comfort) changed on it's own and I was not able to manually change settings or get the dashboard to reappear or get the truck to move forward when placed in drive gear. I had to power cycle the truck to get it to work. Very unsafe to be stranded in the road. Dealership reported no trouble found, issue cannot be replicated. I also have suspension issues and reported power loss while driving. Please investigate.

Brakes 2

I am reporting a serious potential braking-system safety defect involving my 2024 Hyundai Palisade Night AWD. I experienced steering-wheel vibration when braking and an incident in which the brakes were extremely difficult to apply effectively, leaving me unable to stop in an emergency as needed. This created a serious risk of a collision and injury to me, my passengers, and others on the road. I am concerned that the vehicle’s braking system may not perform reliably when rapid or emergency stopping is required. My vehicle was serviced at Morrie’s 394 Hyundai in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Following an extended period of recall-related service beginning March 20, 2026, the vehicle was marked ready on July 3, 2026, under Repair Order #[XXX]. I subsequently brought the vehicle back on July 6, 2026, under Repair Order #[XXX], reporting rattling and grinding associated with driving and braking. The dealership documented resurfacing all four brake rotors. I am concerned that the steering-wheel vibration and serious difficulty stopping may indicate a braking problem that requires further investigation. The July service documentation references a “Vehicle Health Report With Video” and a completed vehicle health report. However, on October 16, 2026, the dealership verbally told me that no vehicle health diagnostic video was conducted on July 6 and that the only video was from March 23. The available portal screenshot identifies a video dated March 23, 2026. I am requesting review of the service records and clarification of what inspections and testing were actually performed. The exact mechanical cause of the braking symptoms is UNKNOWN to me. Although the dealership resurfaced all four rotors, I do not have documentation establishing the root cause of the symptoms or confirming that the braking concern was fully resolved. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this may represent a safety defect affecting the 2024 Hyundai Palisade or other similarly equipped vehicles INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Subject: Formal Safety Complaint and Request for Investigation – Hyundai Recall 283, Unsecured Infant Car Seat Following Recall Repair I am requesting that NHTSA investigate a serious child passenger safety incident following Hyundai Seat Belt Recall 283 performed on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade at Earnhardt Hyundai San Tan in [XXX], on XXX During the recall repair by the dealership, my infant granddaughter's rear-facing car seat was left completely unsecured. Its securing strap had been removed by the dealership from the car seat itself, with one end still attached to the vehicle's lower anchor and the remainder left underneath the seat. The car seat was returned to its normal position without any warning or notification. I unknowingly transported my granddaughter in this potentially life-threatening condition before discovering it on XXX. I am attaching my formal complaint emailed to dealership General Manager [XXX] and Service Director [XXX] on XXX, at 8:52 p.m. This email contains the full description, chronology, supporting evidence, and specific safety concerns. I also reported the incident to Hyundai USA by telephone on XXX (Case #XXX) and through Hyundai Motor America's online complaint system (Case #XXX). I request that NHTSA investigate the dealership's recall procedures, Hyundai's child restraint safety warnings, and whether similar failures could endanger other children. Please review my attached complaint and provide written acknowledgment and an NHTSA complaint reference number.

1. Component or System Failed Seat Anchor/Restraint System: Driver's seat mount bolts left hand-threaded following Campaign 283 recall service. (RO available for inspection) Suspension & Steering Geometry: Alignment/subframe failure causing severe tire wear under 6k miles across 2024, 2025, and 2026. (RO's available for inspection) Dealer Documentation System: Falsified "Recall Declined" entry in WebDCS and on RO, omitted and undocumented flagged safety recall on RO (Oct 28, 2025), unrecorded oil leak inspection findings, withheld technician notes and VIN and repair records. (RO's and Webdcs,- Warranty History available, technicians notes possibly available). 2. Safety (Me, Husband, and 2 Children) Put at risk Seat Anchor / Restraint System -Loss of Control: Loose seat bolts allow the driver's seat to shift unexpectedly, impairing pedal and steering control while driving. -Restraint Failure: Unsecured bolts risk complete seat detachment during a crash, rendering seatbelts and airbags ineffective. Suspension & Steering Geometry -Tire Blowout Hazard: Severe tire wear under 6k miles drastically increases the risk of a high-speed blowout. -Unstable Handling: Continuous misalignment causes vehicle pulling, reduced braking efficiency, and compromised control during emergency maneuvers. Dealer Documentation System -Forced Operation of Unsafe Vehicle: Logging safety recalls as "Declined" and omitting flagged recall alerts in WebDCS and on Repair Orders hides known safety hazards from official records, leaving uncorrected recall risks active while driving. -Concealment of Mechanical Hazards: Suppressing oil leak inspection results and withholding technical VIN notes hides active fluid or mechanical defects, creating sudden engine failure, loss of power in traffic, or fire hazards without the driver's awareness. 3.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number 26V034000 (Air Bags) and 25V607000 (Seat Belts). The vehicle was repaired with film. The other recall parts were on back order. Following the repair, the contact became aware that the view through the third-row windows were distorted, and it was difficult to see clearly. The dealer informed the contact that the issue was self-corrected. The passenger became nauseated due to the distortion. The manufacturer was contacted from the website and by phone and referred the contact back to the dealer for assistance. The manufacturer opened a claim and stated that the film could be removed or reapplied. The dealer advised the contact that the film could be removed. The failure mileage was approximately 25,500.

Suspension and driveability issues. Seat belt safety recall not completed after several attempts. 1. SUSPENSION: Suspension noises (popping, clunking, creaking, etc). Difficulty controlling vehicle on the freeway; it sways and I wrestle with wheel to drive and keep in lane despite having multiple lane and driver assist features. AWD equipped however rear suspension loses power and struggles to drive on uneven surfaces. Vehicle is unstable, rocks from side to side while turning and feels like it will flip over. Purchased new tires and had wheel alignment and balancing done but have to keep getting wheel alignment for pulling and non-centered steering wheel. Ride is not smooth, feels bumpy and bouncy. Steering wheel, seat, and pedals still vibrate and shake after new tire service. New tires have abnormal and premature wear. Complained about issues to dealership with suspension and driveability and they told me it was normal to have noises and they could not duplicate so wait until it gets worse. Diagnostic fees are required but they waived the first fee. Months passed and even after new tire install with balancing and alignment the issues got worse. They again said it was normal and the suspension had to settle after new tires but issues have persisted again for months and have worsened. So after multiple alignments and complaints of other issues (ie. Bluelink, paint, remote start, ABS system), I escalated again within service and sales and they now say there is a recall on suspension. 2. SEAT BELTS: I have scheduled multiple service appointments for the seat belt recall. Parts were ordered but then upon return for service, the dealership said the parts were placed on another vehicle as first come first serve so they ordered parts for me again but then they say the parts were used by someone else again. This keeps happening. Now they say the design still has an issue so waiting on new design and parts. I have had nothing but problems with this truck since purchase.

I am reporting a problem obtaining the remedy for an open safety recall on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade Limited (Hyundai Recall 283 / NHTSA 25V-607). I first contacted Johnson Hyundai of Wake Forest, NC, regarding this recall in October 2025. At that time, the dealership did not have the necessary remedy available. I contacted the dealership again in January 2026 and was placed on a waiting list for the recall repair. As of October 6, 2026, I am number 123 out of approximately 390 customers on the dealership’s waiting list. I have been told that Hyundai is sending only a very limited number of replacement parts to dealerships and that customers may wait seven months or longer before being notified that their parts are available. This recall involves seat-belt buckle assemblies that may fail to latch properly, creating a potential increased risk of injury in a crash. My concern is not that the dealership is refusing to perform the recall. My concern is that the manufacturer is not supplying sufficient replacement parts for the dealership to perform the safety recall within a reasonable timeframe. Hyundai’s recall information indicated a planned final remedy owner notification date of June 30, 2026. It is now October 2026, and I still do not have a repair appointment or a reliable timeframe for obtaining the required parts. I rely on this vehicle to transport two young children, including a child with special needs, so simply stopping use of the vehicle indefinitely is not a practical option for my family. I am requesting that NHTSA review Hyundai’s implementation of this recall, including the availability and allocation of replacement parts and the length of time affected owners are waiting for the safety recall remedy. I would also like NHTSA to review whether Hyundai is providing sufficient information and an appropriate interim solution for owners who must continue using their vehicles while waiting for the recall repair.

Vehicle developed a check engine light and underwent warranty repair, during which all six fuel injectors were replaced (Repair Order #1HWS5031079, dated 7/8/2026, 33,768 miles). Despite this repair, the check engine light returned, and the vehicle subsequently developed an intermittent hard-start and no-start condition — in some instances the engine would not start on the first attempt and required a second attempt. The vehicle was returned to the dealership for a second repair visit (Repair Order #1HCS55031999, dated 7/28/2026, 34,090 miles), during which the dealership considered multiple possible causes, including a sensor issue and fuel-related concerns, before completing the repair. The vehicle was out of service for a cumulative total of approximately 22 days across both repair visits. An intermittent no-start condition raises reliability and safety concerns, particularly in situations requiring predictable vehicle operation.

The panoramic roof glass on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade shattered unexpectedly while the vehicle was stationary or just beginning to move. I did not observe any object striking the vehicle, nor was the vehicle involved in a collision. The glass continued to fall into the passenger compartment, creating a potential safety hazard for occupants. The vehicle can still be operated; however, dust, water, and other debris can enter the vehicle through the damaged roof. There were no warning signs, unusual noises, cracks, or other symptoms prior to the failure. The incident occurred on September 9, 2026, at approximately 37,900 miles. I have scheduled a dealership inspection for this week, and a case has already been opened with Hyundai Customer Care. The dealer's inspection is currently pending.

I purchased this 2024 Hyundai Palisade new, delivered XXX. Beginning XXX, at only 3,954 miles, I began experiencing a recurring defect in which the front windshield wipers freeze, stick, or stop moving mid-stroke while the vehicle is being actively driven. This is most dangerous during heavy/pouring rain, when losing wiper function eliminates my ability to see the road ahead. I have brought the vehicle to Freehold Hyundai ([XXX] [XXX]) eight separate times for this same defect: - XXX (3,954 mi): reported, dealer could not verify, no action - XXX (8,620 mi): reported, dealer could not verify, no action - XXX (9,335 mi): reported, dealer could not verify, no action - XXX (15,748 mi): reported, dealer checked wipers, reported "operating normal" - XXX (48,329 mi): both front wipers not operating normally, windshield linkage flagged as cause - XXX (48,901 mi): wiper arm found bent; arm and linkage replaced - XXX (53,512 mi): noise from wipers, factory wipers recommended - XXX (55,843 mi): wiper arm moving slow and stopping mid-stroke; technician found high electrical resistance in the wiper motor cond internal/electrical failure, but the defect continues to occur. I have video documentation of the wipers freezing while driving in the rain. This is an ongoing, unresolved safety hazard.

The vehicle brakes malfunctioned while driving over bumpy pavement in a parking lot. There was a loss of ability to stop the vehicle, the breaks seemed locked or ineffective. This cause me to come close to rear ending the vehicle in front of me. My foot was pushed FIRMLY on the break and the vehicle seemed to continue to lurch forward. The collision warning alarm was sounding and the brake pedal was vibrating.

The vehicle's OEM wiring harness caught fire during standard operation. We had just started our drive connected to a trailer and break controller that functioned flawlessly for a year with a different vehicle prior to this incident. The trailer is a 2025 and the brake controller was new at the time of purchasing the trailer in February 2025. the only thing that prevented further damage was my husband calling to say something was smoking and I needed to stop the car. I was driving to pickup my husband and children from the campground bath house to drive home. Yes, it is available for inspection. The safety of myself and any passengers was put at risk due to the electrical fire and all extenuating risks associated with that. The problem has not been reproduced by the manufacturer that I am aware of. The tech at the dealership verbally confirmed that the part in question was the cause of the fire and that the new (post repair) part did not have a secure 7way plug attachment to the break controller which was also brand new since the original was damaged during the incident. The components have been inspected by the dealership. There were no lights prior to the failure and there were no lights after the failure until the new temporary harness was installed in Slade KY prior to receiving and installing the new (same) OEM part once we returned home.
