2020 Hyundai Palisade UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The air compressor on my 2020 Hyundai Palisade with 55,321 miles has completely malfunctioned. The issue was diagnosed by Five Star Hyundai Dealership in Macon, Georgia on 9/26/25 and is currently available for inspection. The repair will cost $1,781. A failed A/C compressor in a 5-year-old vehicle could put my safety or others’ safety at risk due to reduced visibility from poor defrosting, driver impairment from extreme heat, and secondary damage affecting critical systems like steering or electrical power. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to air compressor failure. However, Hyundai has issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) for certain 2020–2022 Palisade vehicles regarding the AC compressor. Bulletin 24-HA-003H: This TSB addresses reduced AC performance due to an "out of specification" AC compressor pulley and hub assembly. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Sunroof stuck in partially open position and will not close. This is a known issue with a Technical Service Bulletin: TSB #MC-10235352-0001.

The sunroof wind deflector broke when I simply opened the sunroof, and the sunroof is now stuck in the open position. I wish TSB 23-BD-003H-1 would've included my VIN so I could've addressed this issue prior to it breaking. Now I am faced with a $3400 repair bill from Hyundai. Hyundai said there is no cheaper option to partially fix it to at least get it closed. Other repair shops are referring me to Hyundai to complete the repair.

Went to open the sunroof the back opened a little but would not open all the way and now it won’t shut either. I’ve seen a few other owners say that this happened to them as well.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a safety concern regarding my 2020 Hyundai Palisade. Recently, when I attempted to operate the sunroof, it only opened partially and made a crackling sound. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that some of the internal plastic components were breaking apart, and now the sunroof does not close properly. After researching this issue online, I discovered that numerous other owners are experiencing the exact same problem. For reference, here are a couple of user-reported discussions highlighting similar experiences: [XXX] [XXX] Additionally, I came across a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) related to this very issue, which can be found here: [XXX] However, when I checked my vehicle’s VIN, it did not appear to be included in the list of affected models, despite my vehicle exhibiting the same symptoms described in the bulletin. This leads me to believe that the scope of affected VINs may not have been fully identified. Given the number of similar complaints shared by other Hyundai Palisade owners, it appears this may be a more widespread issue than initially recognized. I respectfully request that NHTSA consider investigating this matter further, as it may help protect and support additional Hyundai customers who are dealing with this problem and have not yet been offered a resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While sitting at a stoplight with no moving passing traffic around my vehicle. There was a loud pop/crash sound that came from the roof. I pulled my car into a parking lot and found my sunroof had a large hole in the middle and was shattered. The glass is pushed upwards. My internal shade was closed, which kept glass from falling inside and on me. I was not hit by a foreign object, by all indications the glass spontaneously exploded.

Driving along I94 then suddenly heared a popping sound when I checked the sunroof exploded/ shattered to pieces.

Due to a recall that Hyundai has not fully resolved, I am unable to use the OEM tow hitch that I paid for when I purchased my car because there is not an updated fuse for the trailer hitch. Hence, trailers won't have lights, making them illegal and unsafe. The Hyundai dealership "resolved" the recall by removing the fuse several months ago, but never replaced it. Furthermore, the dealership never told me that I was unable to use the tow hitch. I was only told that the recall was resolved.

Trunk strut/ spring plastic broke off making trunk not being able to close properly. Had to manually close trunk due to issue and eventually spring completely broke off and unable to close trunk. Safety hazard because trunk slams without having strut spring which could cause serious damage/injury to person/children if closed on. Read online that issue was happening. Hyundai said no warranty or defect. However have had multiple dealerships say that they have replaced this issue on Palisades.

UNKNOWN The sunroof shattered as we were driving down the interstate. To our knowledge nothing hit the sunroof to make it shatter. We did not see any rocks or debris. This is a safety issue as if we wouldn’t have had the inside shade closed we would have been showered with glass while driving at highway speeds and could have been injured.

The following recall has been repaired (see attached): Manufacturer Recall Number 235; NHTSA Recall Number 22V633000 However, the dealership is unable to successfully (continuously fails to) clear the recall for this VIN: [XXX] . Please clear this recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Recall 235 was performed incorrectly by a dealership in Tacoma, WA. My Palisade 2020 has an OEM trailer hitch and wiring harness. The dealership completed the inspection in spite of the fact that the instructions say not to when there is an OEM hitch and wiring harness. The Tacoma dealership pulled the trailer fuses and my local dealership in Kirkland WA refused to do the harness replacement. They said Hyundai would refuse to pay for it. I am also trying to get the dealership I purchased the car from three months ago to do the install. But that is in another city. The updated 235 recall is now out with the repair procedure shown and I am having trouble getting dealers to do the harness replacement due to the fact that they say there are 0 recalls left to do for my Palisade. I need your site to show that the replacement recall (just issued) is needed for my car. It is Recall 23-01-044H and is an update of the original 235 recall.

We received a Safety Recall for the Tow Hitch on our 2020 Hyundai Palisade. We took the vehicle to the dealership last summer and they removed the fuse and therefore, disabled the towing ability of the vehicle. It has been over 5 months since this was done. Hyundai still does not have a solution for the Safety Recall. What can be done to bring a resolution for this Safety Recall?

On the 2020 Palisade SEL Premium the blue tooth voice recognition for calling out and siri request only works when the iPhone or Android phone is connected through the counsel USB. (CARPLAY) When not connected with the USB cord, but connected through the Bluetooth to the phone, the phone can receive and call out by touching the screen. Also, phone contacts shown on the screen through the Bluetooth can be retrieved by manually panning through the contacts and toughing the contact to be called. When a call is received through the Blue tooth, again you have to take your hand off the steering wheel and eyes off the road to find and touch the screen receiver button. The steering wheel phone buttons do work unless again the phone is connected through USB cord / Carplay. This is an Epic Fail for this model Hyundai and sets a big question for their advancement into Bluetooth technology. Also, I question their concern for driver and pedestrian safety, with the driver taking his eyes off the road and their hand searching the the monitor screen to manually answer or use their phone.

VEHICLE EXACTLY 1 YEAR OLD WITH FULL WARRANTY, WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME AND SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND GLASS PIECES CAME DOWN ALL OVER ME AND MY WIFE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS HYUNDA SANTA FE AND TUSCON MODELS AND THE DEALER CLAIMS A ROCK PECK CAUSED THIS AND THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. ITS BEEN A TERRIBLE BATTLE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE ASKING ME TO FILE A COMPREHENSIVE CLAIM WITH INSURANCE COMPANY HOWEVER I DONT FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY PEOPLE, EVEN PEOPLE WHO OWN THE NEW 2020 PALISADE. ITS MORE COMMON ON DUAL SUNROOFS BUT WE HAVE THE SINGLE SUNROOM AND I PROMISE, IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION THAT WE DONT WANT TO EXPERIENCE EVER AGAIN. WE HAVE BEEN PROUD HYUNDAI OWNERS OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS AND IF THEY ELECT NOT TO HELP US WITH THIS ISSUE OF REPAIRS, UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL TRADE THE VEHICLE AND NEVER PURCHASE HYUNDAI AGAIN.

No problems

THIS IS A USED 2020 PALISADE. I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE OWNER ON THE MYHUNDAI APP SO THE OLD OWNER CAN START MY CAR REMOTELY, CHANGE THE MODES OF AUTOPILOT CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT MY PERMISSION ENDANGERING THE PASSENGERS. THE WEBSITE TO UPDATE THE OWNER IS BROKEN. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI SUPPORT 5 TIMES OVER A MONTH AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND UPDATED MY INFORMATION AND TO UPDATE THE OWNER BUT IT STILL WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE IT AFTER SUBMITTING THE REG, BILL OF SALE, AND MY DRIVERS LIC IMAGE AS REQUESTED.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 45MPH IN NEW HYUNDAI PALISADE 2020 MODEL WITH 17K MILES, SUNROOF WAS NOT CRACKED OR OPEN, WAS COMPLETELY SEALED.

BOUGHT CAR IN AUGUST 2020 IN JUST A MONTH OWNING IT ROCK CHIPPED THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A HUGE CRACK. TOOK THREE MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT. WAS FIXED MID NOVEMBER. NOW A MONTH LATER NOTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND IT HAS ANOTHER CRACK. IT WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE A HYUNDAI PALISADE 2020 AND THE WINDSHIELD IS TO WEEK I REPLACE TWICE ALREADY THE HYUNDAI COMPANY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT ..THERE'S A LOT CLAIMS WITH THIS MODEL SUV

ONLY 2,500 MILES AND NEEDS A FULL WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDOW, A SMALL CHIP WHICH IMMEDIATELY SPREAD INTO A CRACK ACROSS THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. AND HAVE TO WAIT 6 WEEKS TO GET IT REPLACED BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD IS ON BACKORDER - THERE MUST BE AN ISSUE THAT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE ALREADY HAS A BACKORDER ON A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD!

WHISTLING NOISE IN DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WHEN THE CAR GOES OVER 70 MPH AND THE WIND HITS THE WINDOW AT THE RIGHT ANGLE. 3 FIXES AT THE DEALERSHIP, INCLUDING NEW SEALS. SERVICE MECHANIC SAID ALL THE CARS ON THE LOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING.
