2024 Hyundai Palisade Brakes

when going over roughts that are considered rough the abs braking system does not engage and I have multiple times of almost hitting the vehicle in front of me cause the abs are multiapplying but not stopping in a normal time, instead the distance is longer...this only happens on rough roads currently and not off roading but actual concrete/asphalt service/highway roads

ABS system activated when I hit a bump of any kind and I'm slowing down, like a speed bump, a 1/2"edge on my curb as I enter my driveway a little faster than usual. Or exit a long drive at that is dry and lower than the sidewalk and tires flyi over the edge of sidewalk and it activates pumping the brages repeatedly. Dates have been recent and a while ago. 11-25-25 and I don't have exact dates but probably 2 months ago and 4 months ago and 6 months ago and even 1 year ago. I took to the dealer but they said they couldn't recreate it so the couldn't fix anything. That was early on. I thought I was going to hit my garage door because it prevented me from stopping faster. It disengages my ability to use the brakes. They don't activate when being slammed on just when the road is rough. I looked in forums and many others have this issue. Please got it I hate it and it makes me want to return the vehicle because I don't feel safe when it happens.

During a routine inspection at Ron Marhofer Hyundai in Akron, OH on November 22, 2025, the technician reported that both the front and rear brake caliper brackets on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade were “caliper bracket dry.” The inspection sheet also included the following warning from the dealership: “If not replaced, the brake caliper will fail, causing a dangerous condition where either the vehicle will not stop or will pull severely to one side when it does.” This was found on a 17-month-old vehicle with about 33,540 miles. Brake caliper slide pins and brackets should not be completely dry on a vehicle this new unless something was defective in the lubrication, assembly, or materials. The dealership confirmed the condition, provided photos, and gave a repair estimate. I contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs and the case was escalated several times, but Hyundai ultimately declined to cover the repair, even with the dealer’s written statement that the calipers may fail and the vehicle may not stop. Based on the age of the vehicle, the dealer’s warning, and the nature of the problem, this is a premature brake system defect that creates a real safety risk to me and others on the road.

There has been several occasions where I am coming up to a corner or to a stop light and when I brake and, there is an area of 'washboard' or pot holes, the brakes stop working. I took the vehicle into the dealership (7/24/2025) and told them about the breaking issue and they were able to replicate the issue, but they do not have a fix for it. It is very disconcerting when this happens and the car doesn't stop right away.

When applying the brakes on uneven surfaces, the vehicle lunges forward, shutters and shakes and is uncontrollable, the brakes fail to work And increases stopping distance. this is extremely dangerous and needs to be fixed. This has happened multiple times.

Shook violently while pushing brakes and finally caught and stopped after pushing them hard.

I am reporting a recurring and hazardous issue with my 2024 Hyundai Palisade. When driving over uneven or bumpy surfaces—such as city streets with potholes, manhole covers, or brick pavement—the braking system fails to respond appropriately. Despite applying the brakes at low speeds (approximately 25 mph or less), the vehicle does not decelerate as expected. This results in extended stopping distances of approximately 15–20 feet, posing a significant risk of collisions or harm to pedestrians. This issue has occurred multiple times under various conditions, including dry roads and moderate temperatures. There are no warning lights or error messages displayed on the dashboard during these incidents.

I was going about 20mph or less on a bumpy side road in the city and couldn’t stop at a stop light and almost hit the car in front of me. The brakes just did nothing when I mashed down and finally kicked in and I stopped before crashing into the Honda in front of me. I just reported it to Hyundai and online says there’s a class action lawsuit for this exact reason.

Our car shuttered quite strongly on two occasions, while going at a low speed (around 5 miles per hour) and applying the brakes over a rough surface (pavers and a speed bump). We advised Larry H Miller Hyundai Peoria Service Department of this when we took the vehicle in for our complimentary maintenance on 12/03/24. They advised there was a TSB with this as a known issue and they found "7949 Front Brake Rotors Warp 51712A00 1.10 verify and found front brake rotors out of round perform front brake rotor machining and test drove car and verify working operation." They also advised their protocol was that the manufacturer would not replace them until the rotors were shaved 2 or 3 times (we have now had them shaved once on 12/03/24).

ABS System failure at speeds below 30mph/rough surface. ABS system shutters and braking feels as if the vehicle will not stop. Other owners are reporting the same issue, plus no fix yet from Hyundai.

I was coming to a stop and pressed on the brakes and my car would not brake . It started jerking but continued forward. I almost hit the car in front of me.

When stepping on the brakes on a somewhat bumpy road the brakes will at times stop braking and the car will still keep going unless you take your foot off the brake and step on the brakes again. This is a massive safety issue.

We own a Hyundai Palisade that continues to experience unexpected ABS engagement while driving, causing sudden and unsafe braking. This issue has nearly resulted in multiple accidents and poses a serious safety risk to my family and others on the road. The vehicle is currently at the dealership, and we’ve been informed that Hyundai is aware of the problem but does not yet have a fix. It is unacceptable that such a severe safety defect remains unresolved. We urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and hold Hyundai accountable for ensuring a timely and permanent solution.

I will drive at low speeds (on residential or approaching stop light) and start pressing my brakes and then the car starts violently shaking and DOES NOT STOP… it keeps rolling forward. I lose brake power. The longest distance I’ve went without brakes working was 20 feet. I have little children and bought this car for safety features. I feel extremely unsafe. The problem is intermittent and Hyundai doesn’t know how to fix the issue because they stated there is no “check engine lights or codes” popping up. Very dangerous. This is going to get people killed. They need to recall Hyundai palisades for brake issues.

When braking on uneven surface like gravel, bumps, ect. The vehicle may shutter and continue lurching forward. Takes around double the stopping distance expected and has been close to accidents multiple times. This has happened many times since purchasing the vehicle brand new in 7/2024. No warning lights or messages pop up when this is happening. We took the vehicle in for inspection around 2/2025 but they could not replicate the issue so didn't even look at the parts for any concern. No other person has examined the vehicle besides the dealer on that visit. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Is definitely a danger to drive in good road conditions but very concerning to drive in rain or snow with not knowing if the brakes will perform or not.

Breaks occasionally make the car jump or shake excessively. This has happened randomly about 4 times already since we purchased the vehicle.

Car has had multiple issues with brakes where it shudders on brick roads. There have been two incidents on brick roads where the car won’t brake and has slid into oncoming traffic. Hyundai is aware of the issue but, has no fix for it. They say it is safe however, definitely not safe when sliding into oncoming traffic.

On 8/23/25 at approximately 7:20 PM, the vehicle approached a red stoplight in a turn lane to merge onto the highway, the car began to shake violently and the brakes functioned only minimally, not allowing the vehicle to slow down/stop as expected. The vehicle eventually came to full stop, however, given that there was another vehicle in front us that was stopped, there very easily could have been an accident, putting myself, my husband, and 3 year old son, as well as other vehicles, at risk of an accident/serious injury. The car, thereafter, functioned normally. The car was taken into the dealership, however, they stated that they could not duplicate the issue and there was nothing wrong with the braking system. There were no warning lights displayed on the dashboard. Upon further investigation, it appears other Hyundai Palisades have had similar issues, some resulting in serious accidents/injury, however it does not appear that the dealerships or Hyundai have provided any answers or ability to fix this issue.

When I am braking on a road with bad condition (bumpy, uneven, some minor potholes, etc.) the car starts to skid causing the wheel to shake, I lose control of the vehicle, and my stopping distance increases. It's like the ABS is overly sensitive and kicks in whenever the road has any of the problems stated above. This has almost led me to rear-end another car who is in front of me several times. This problem happens almost daily. My children, husband, and I drive in this car daily and it puts all of us at risk. I took my car to a Hyundai dealership , (Napelton's Auto Park of Urbana) and they were not able to reproduce the problem, therefore they could not find anything wrong. The vehicle and component have not been inspected by anyone except for the dealership mentioned. No warning lights, messages, and other symptoms have been displayed at any point in time, before, during, or after the problem occurs.

ABS system is malfunctioning when going over bumps. For instance, I tried braking when going over small bumps and car started jerking and skidding almost rear ending car and finally brakes kicked in at end. Happened 4 times now after buying it a year ago. This is a known incident online that needs to be addressed. Could be very dangerous at higher speeds and cause a wreck. Dealers apparently aren’t doing anything or Hyundai.

Since early ownership, my Palisade’s ABS activates improperly on bumpy/uneven surfaces like railroad tracks, construction zones, causing brake pedal pulsing, vibrations, and significantly longer stopping distances. Braking feels ineffective, as if the brakes “don’t catch,” unlike my wife’s new SUV, which brakes normally on similar surfaces. This occurs at low to moderate speeds (10-40 mph) on dry, rough roads like potholes or gravel, but not on smooth pavement. I believe the ABS/traction control system misreads wheel speed, reducing braking efficiency and posing a safety risk. The issue occurs 2-3 times weekly crossing railroad tracks near my home and daily on my highway commute through construction zones. I must maintain extra following distance (4-5 car lengths at 40 mph) to compensate, which is challenging in traffic. This defect nearly caused two collisions. In both, braking on rough surfaces at ~30-40 mph (with 2-3 car lengths ahead) extended stopping distances, forcing me to swerve into the breakdown lane to avoid rear-ending vehicles. This endangers my family and contradicts Hyundai’s safety ratings, a key reason for my purchase. I reported this to Branfon Hyundai in East Haven, Connecticut at my 7,000-mile oil change around November 2024 and was verbally told it was fineand again at 14,000 miles and asked them to document it April 2025. Both times, they documented my complaint but claimed it was “normal ABS behavior” and felt typical, offering no repairs or diagnostics. After another recent incident today I research the issue and the [XXX] v. Hyundai lawsuit (filed May 2025, CA) confirm similar ABS issues in 2023-2025 Palisades. Please investigate this ABS defect for a recall to fix braking performance. My family relies on this vehicle’s safety and was the main reason I bought it and most people who have families are sold at this safety award. I can provide service records or videos if needed.

Any time I brake on bumpy roads or rail road tracks, my brakes start bouncing and i'm not able to completely brake until i've passed the bumps. There's bumpy roads all over and this is very unsafe and concerning every time it happens. The abs system needs to be looked at.

The brakes appear to be skidding when coming to a stop at low speeds, even on pavement. Has occurred once on gravel and other times on patched asphalt. Two major incidents have occurred where vehicle would not stop and slid past stop sign and started to go into highway traffic. Driver has to stomp on the brake to get the car to stop. This has occurred intermittently at least 8 times since vehicle was purchased in Feb 2025. We have had it inspected at the Hyundai dealership 9/5/25 but no problems could be found with the brake system. It is scheduled to go back again after another skidding incident 9/15/25.

Driving and while stopping at a red light on an uneven road almost crashed into the car in front of me due to brakes not stopping, abs was activated and I could not stop car made a grinding sounds and my steering wheel shook and sho did the car.

I've been dealing with an ongoing issue with my ABS kicking in when slowing down and driving over a bumpy surface since I purchased my car. I first reported this issue to Hyundai dealership and Hyundai Corporate Customer Care in July 2024.(As well as the NHTSA) At that time I had experienced this issue around 5 times. Since then, up to the present, I experience this issue on a regular basis and have brought my car into the local Hyundai dealership 4 times over the past year to fix. Each time I got the car back...it still was not fixed. I even had a technician from the dealership ride with me so I could show them...and he verified there is a safety issue. The dealership communicated with the Hyundai tech line and they were instructed to replace the ESC module in the ABS system. I picked up my car today, and the issue is still there. I went back to the dealer and even showed them a video of it happening today and the dealership said there is nothing they can do. Hyundai claims there is nothing wrong even though I have several videos and even had a local mechanic from the Hyundai dealership ride with me to experience this safety issue. I have called Hyundai Corporate again to escalate this safety concern. There is clearly a big problem and Hyundai needs to fix it before there is a serious accident or injury. Maybe pressure from your administration could help. I am willing to speak with anyone needing more information or copies of some of the videos I have taken.
