After my 2022 Palisade Calligraphy with 95K miles stalled several times in intersections and ran rough, dealership said I was 4 quarts of oil low. Dealership recommended an oil consumption test and vehicle burns 1 quart every 568 miles. Hyundai denied my claim under their 100K power train warranty since I was 2nd owner, and they did not make a good will offer. After researching, it appears oil consumption is a common problem with Hyundai vehicles, specifically the Palisade. Aftermarket warranty I purchased denied my claim since it didn't cover oil consumption. Submitting this incident so others are aware of oil consumption issues with Hyundai vehicles as vehicle is unsafe when it stalls.

The oil filter housing is plastic and breaks easily. Most places I tried to get an oil change refuse to work on this car because they don’t want to be liable for any damage to the engine do to a cracked oil filter housing. This is a know issue and the manufacturer has not issued a recall or offered a fix. This forces owners to bring there vehicles to a Hyundai dealership and pay a premium for an oil change.

The engine is burning oil at a rate that is unreasonable. When the oil level is low, there is no oil light indicator to show that the car is low on oil. My safety is being put at risk because the engine could seize up at any moment and may have slow or no acceleration. I caught the low oil problem just in time because i have a child who was aware of what the issue was with the car. I have had normal oil changes. This is a known issue in Hyundai's and these vehicles need to be repaired/replaced. The care will be inspected by a Hyundai dealership.

The dealership is stating we have bad gas as the gravity of the gas was .74. And that we had bad fuel injectors. Mind you the dealership before this one advised us we had spark plug issues. So we called corporate and explained the situation and they advised we were covered under warranty. Now we tell them to go ahead and get rid of the bad gas and with the understanding we are covered under warranty for the fuel injectors. We advise the dealership we spoke to corporate and they advised the fuel injectors are covered under warranty. The weekend goes by we check on the car Monday and the dearlship advises we are not covered. So we call corporate back who is now advising it's up to the dealerships to honor the warranty and it looks like we are not covered. We are the original owners of the car and can't understand how our car has been down for 3 months and the person who makes the warranty want cover. This is the classic bait and switch and who protects the consumer?

While driving the car on highway the oil plug fell and eventually seized the engine. There has been multiple complaints for the same for other Hyundai vehicles as well. The car is in dealership right now with engine failure. While driving the car on I-81, suddenly smoke started coming out of hood. Stopped to check and then while starting the car again, saw oil check and engine check light come on after. The dealership mentioned oil plug fell off and oil spilled all over engine. The last service was over 7 months ago and was due for service soon. Couldn’t be negligence but a problem with Hyundai.

The vehicle went into limp mode while traveling on the highway. Vehicle decelerated from 65mph to 30mph very quickly & without warning (no indicator lights came on). I was almost rear ended, since the car behind be had no idea I was decelerating due to no brake lights. It then slowly decelerated to 14mph as I was able to get off highway. Upon inspection, by me, the vehicle was found to have very little oil & I do get my oil changes on the required interval at the dealership. It had been about 2500miles since my last oil change. This vehicle is available for inspection if needed. No warning lights or messages came on & the app that notifies of problems stated the car had no issues. The vehicle has been to the dealership multiple times & I have been made to come back every 1K miles for oil consumption tests x 3. As of the 3rd test, it has been calculated that my car is burning 1qt or oil every 775miles. The dealership is requesting a new engine for my vehicle. Hopefully it will be approved. But, I personally feel this is a major safety hazard to just have your car stop at of nowhere with no warning light or alarm.

My Palisade 2022 was only on 10k miles when the coolant tank is completely empty. I can see coolant on the engine bay floor as well as my garage floor. There is definitely a leak which drained the coolant. This is an urgent situation since my engine could stop working on the road anytime. Checking the Palisade forum, there are numerous incident like this so this is a systematic design failure on the cooling system.

Started to notice an oil spot under the vehicle at around 4500 miles. Since the car is brand new and hadn't even had its first oil change, we immediately scheduled a service appointment. We were finally able to get it into the dealership 2 weeks later and received a diagnosis shortly after drop off. Turns out the oil leak was coming from the head gasket on the right bank of the engine and requires replacement of both head gaskets. The engine oil level was low and the service technician recommended the car not be driven until it could be repaired as simply adding oil would continue to contribute to the leak. Parts have been ordered and requested via next day delivery however they currently do not have an ETA as to when the parts will arrive. The repair job is estimated at 10-12 hours so it will be out of service for 2 days just for repairs once parts do come in. Plus Hyundai would not reimburse car rental fees even though the dealer was out of service loaners however after a day, they were able to provide one. Of greater concern however is why would the head gaskets be leaking oil while the car is still basically being broken in from new. I've had cars of multiple brands with well over 100K miles that never leaked from the head gaskets. If these engines are assembly line built, I'm concerned that the torque specs were off when assembling the heads to the block causing the leak. If that's the case, this issue could begin to pop up on many other vehicles built at the same time. Hyundai is covering under warranty at no cost but now I'm concerned over our investment that we've only had now for 3 months and future reliability. The vehicle is currently out of service for an undetermined amount of time. If not caught, this could have resulted in a full engine failure as the low oil warning never came on.
