2021 Hyundai Palisade Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“On several occasions, between 15-25, one seatbelt (2nd row behind driver) unlatches randomly. We know it’s not because of the user. It will latch (and we know it’s latched because it clicks and there’s no seatbelt warning), but while driving it will unlatch for no apparent reason”

“The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the contact became aware that the seat belt had independently unbuckled from the seat belt buckle. The contact stated that the failure had occurred twelve times”

“I am having problems with the seatbelt buckles in the second and third row seats, either not buckling to begin with (the seatbelt will not latch), or the seatbelt spontaneously unbuckles while I am driving”

“The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (SEAT BELTS); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available”

“The manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner, I have been waiting since January 2026 for the new parts and it is July with no expected date of seat belts availability”

“Recall for safety seat belts not repaired in a timely manner. It’s been 2.5 months, I called the first time after one month to see how much longer for the parts to come in and was basically told it is what it is, most people wait over 2 months, that was in January”

“During normal operation, the sunroof wind deflector/visor malfunctioned and jammed inside the mechanism. This caused the pulleys and track assembly to bind and pull the glass panel out of position, damaging and breaking the sunroof track/mechanism”

“Pressed button to open glass sunroof and glass panel crookedly began opening with one side opening farther than the other until it stopped midway with a loud grinding noise. It stopped crooked in the tracks. It would not open”

“The sunroof failed to totally open or close after an initial engagement. Further inspection revealed the sunroof wind deflector frame slides and shoes were broken, and cables were loose and out of position”

“We have been in Hyundai’s “oil consumption” protocol for the past 8-10 months. We’ve had 6 oil changes in that time. Each oil change was right a 1,000 miles. My engine is burning between 1.5 - 2.5 quarts of oil EVERY 1,000 MILES”

“Excessive oil consumption. Oil tank empty at 3 oil changes. Car was stalling at stops. Oil was empty 5000 miles prior to next suggested oil change. No low oil indicator light alarm”

“Oil is being consumed at a rapid rate. Even when there is no oil in the vehicle, there are no lights that show up to signify low/empty oil. Once the oil is run dry, the car begins to make noises, can not accelerate, and jolts while driving”

“Moving portion of panoramic sunroof glass exploded outwards while driving 60 MPH. Loud noise and glass could have injured driver, caused an accident, or damaged surrounding vehicles. The dealership has inspected and denied responsibility”

“Driving SB on I-35 in Texas, going 70 MPH, no trucks or other cars passing, or following behind and the sunroof glass exploded. Nothing hit it. The screen was closed, so no glass fell down into the vehicle interior”

“The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sunroof glass fractured without impact”

“Shock failure within 33,000 miles. Going over bumps at higher speeds causes some loss of control of the vehicle. Dealer confirmed the issue with the shock upper insulator”

“Have had rear shocks replace twice by the dealer with less than once at 35,000 miles again at 60,000 mile on the SUV. now with around 70,000 miles on the SUV the shocks need replaced again”

“Rear shock failure causing bouncy uneven drive, confirmed with visibly leaked fluid. Dealership contacted, awaiting investigation”

“When turning on the child safety locks, the doors repeat a clicking sound for a few minutes sounding as if the doors are locking. After the noise stops, the dashboard shows the message "child safety lock failure"”

“The electronic child safety lock system that is controlled with the door panel has been consistently failing since about 6 months after i got my vehicle. It tries to the lock the doors repeatedly until the system fails and tells me "child safety lock failure" on the display”

“Child Safety Lock Failure (displayed on instrument panel upon immediate startup of vehicle). Child safety lock is stalled in a continuous lock and unlock clicking mode”

“The vehicle would shut off when idling at lights or in reverse and have delayed acceleration after stops. It also would shut off when idling in park”

“The engine has been intermittently cutting off every day. We have taken it to the dealership multiple times, and they say they cannot recreate the issue, so there is absolutely nothing that they can do. The vehicle will shake a little bit and then turn off”

“The car will start shaking, can’t exceed a certain mpg, and does not speed up. The check engine light comes on. The car is available for inspection”
