Opened the sunroof and a loud popping sound followed by complete sunroof failure and a loud flapping sound from sunroof which appears to be from the sunroof wind deflector that is not attached I tried to take photos of this too, I pulled over and the sunroof has completely come off the runners on one side leaving it not flush to the roof, it was scary for myself and my child in the car, I did some research and found a technical service bulletin which I was not aware of even though I regularly maintain my vehicle at the dealership. I took it down the dealership who charged me $179 to tell me it was broken and put some plastic wrap on and told me as I’m 200 miles out of warranty that repairs are $3000, I have been in touch with Hyundai USA who don’t seem to care about this issue, vehicle is available for inspection, there was no warning at all I just opened the sunroof and this randomly happened also to add I have only used the sunroof a handful of times since I have owned the vehicle from brand new.

The tachometer on my 2021 Hyundai Palisade failed at 70,000 miles. The tachometer sometimes displays RPM at 0 and other times at 9000 during normal driving. The engine speed appears normal regardless of what the tachometer displays. The dealer diagnosed the problem requiring the cluster assy-instrument (part number 94001-S8640) to be replaced. I'm not sure if other information displayed on this screen is accurate or working properly. The vehicle is within the 5 year warranty but outside the 60,000 mile warranty. The dealer quoted $926.75 for the part and $290 additional for labor.

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. I have had it in the service department on four separate occasions where they have not been able to pinpoint the issue. They have replaced the door actuators in the rear doors as well as some of the fuses and wiring, but I have not gotten a resolution from any of the actions. It appears that there is some connection to my key fob because when I'm approaching the vehicle I can hear the locks start to engage. My concern is that once the system fails, the child safety locks are no longer engaged, which means my children can open the doors.

This issue is concerning the sunroof. Hyundai released a TSB on the sunroof wind deflectors but not yet a recall even though so many people have been impacted by it. The TSB states: “ On certain Palisade (LX2) vehicles, the sunroof wind deflector may malfunction and cause damage to the sunroof mechanism. The sunroof may be inoperable and become stuck in the open, partially open, or closed position.” Mine became inoperable and would not close which could cause safety issues with wind noise, rain coming into the car and other debris

UNKNOWN - On Sunday, June 1 2025, whilst driving West Bound on the 408 tollway in Orlando, FL, the sunroof of my car exploded and shattered. I was driving with the sunroof and sunshade closed. I was driving approx 70 miles an hour when I head an explosion, then heard glass spidering and then the glass bits falling on to the sunshade and also traveling down the roof of the car. I pulled over as quickly as I could. Looked at the back of the car I wanted to make sure nothing else happened to my car. When I climbed to look on top of my car, the sunroof had shattered. I took a small video. I immediately exited the freeway, and took side streets home. The entire way, I could hear glass bits dislodging and either hitting the sunshade or traveling off the roof. On the 408, there were only two passenger cars in front of me (no big trucks) and a few cars right behind me. No rocks bounced off anything to hit the sunroof. Traffic on the East bound side was very light also. 1. Yes, car can be inspected. Garage kept since Sunday June 1.25. 2. Safety- if the sunshade would have been open, the sunroof would have shattered into the car, covering me with glass. 3. Appnt with dealer is Thur June 12.25 4. No- no one has seen the vehicle yet 5. No warning lights, just a huge explosion above my head.

Leaking coolant: I have noticed that the coolant tank is empty a couple of days before and took it to the dealership and filled that.

While driving at 65mph on interstate under mild weather conditions the front sunroof spontaneously exploded. There was an extreme loud pop sound followed by glass flying down the roof line and into the fortunately closed sun shade. There was no external impact to cause this and the sunroof mechanism was not being used. After pulling over for inspection a volleyball size hole was seen in front sunroof and the remaining pieces of fractured glass was bowed up suggesting the glass blew up and not down. Safety concerns from the loud pop sound startling driver and potential for glass to rain over driver and occupants if the sunshade is open. The dealer refused to look at the issue and suggested body shop for repair. There were no warning signs and not a driver related issue. There continue to be many incidents being reported here and I'm guessing countless that aren't. There is an issue with the manufacturer needs to address.

Our car was parked in our garage overnight. In the morning, I went to get in the car and found that the sunroof had shattered. There was no evidence that anything had fallen on it or hit it; it was just simply shattered. There had been no previous damage to the vehicle. We attempted to call the 2 local Hyundai dealerships, but either did not receive a call back or they stated that they could not review our car for at least 2-3 weeks to see if this was a defect.

The hatch struts prevent the hatch door to close due to the broken plastic surrounding the struts. Both struts were replaced a year after the vehicle was purchased brand new and then a year later another broke and now they are broken again and in less than a year they are showing sign of hair line cracks, which will eventually causes the hatch door to get stuck sand it will not shut. Not only it’s a safety problem but also a very expensive piece of struts. For both to be replaced it will cost $2500-3000. This is a defect designed with cheap plastic. Please issue a recall immediately.

Component: child safety lock system Risk: we have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. We bought the SUV as a family vehicle. If the child safety lock system does not work out children would be able to open their doors while traveling at highway speeds. Problem reproduced: the dealership replaced a part the first time we took it in for the issue. The issue persisted. We brought it back when the issue happened again and the dealership said they couldn't reproduce the issue. It happens randomly. I have a video I made showing the issue happening several times in a row and provided the video to the service department. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to drop the car off again for them to diagnose. Inspected: not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance rep or others. Symptoms: you can hear the child lock system trying to physically engage over and over again when walking near to the locked car with the fob in your pocket. When inside the vehicle the same happens when trying to turn on the child safety lock via the button on the driver side arm rest in the driver side door. After the repeated clicking sound there is an alert that appears on the LCD screen in the dash above the steering wheel and a chime. The alert says: "Child safety lock failure" then goes away. I have a video reproducing this several times in a row: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LbvECtVyhA2LxLsp7 The last time we brought this to the dealership they said they could do nothing if they weren't able to reproduce the problem. We have an appointment to drop it with them again tomorrow to diagnose the issue.

After having my 2021 Palisade with only 3,000 miles, a small crack formed on the base of the wind shield. This crack quickly spread across the the bottom of the windshield in less than a months time. The glass appears to be fragile and thin. I can even feel the glassed raised when rubbing the crack, which seems to be more unsafe than a normal glass crack. The issue was reported to the dealer but they were not able to schedule to replace for several months.The dealer did not cover the windshield even on a new vehicle. The windshield was inspected by insurance. Total replacement is $1600 because of calibration.
