The ABS braking problem has not been mentioned to Hyundai or any other company or organization to date as it was just recently experienced. I recently put unscreened millings on the road end of my gravel driveway. When coming to a slow stop before entering the public road I now experience the brake vibration or chattering with deminished braking responce. Fortunately, I have not experienced this while driving on a public road in 35,000 miles.

Leaving parking lot. Approaching Exit to street to turn right. Going slow and applying the brakes. Hit a small crack or pothole in the pavement and the ABS kicks in. Brake shutters when abs occurs, but braking pressure is very light and car almost rolls into intersection. I think I had to quickly release brake and step on brake again to be able to stop the vehicle. It happened very quickly Vehicle is 1 year old. No lamps or codes. Happened again in similar situation. Trying to stop at lower speed. Hit a bump or loose gravel. Abs kicks in and braking pressure is drastically reduce even after getting past the crack or gravel

I steep on the brakes when I was coming to a gas pump when I did that the car started to shake. It's seams it's was the ABS I thought the car was not going to stop. I had to press the brakes all the way down for the car it stop. I thought for sure I was going to hit the car in front of me.

The ABS seems to kick in over aggressively. It will kick in and the brake pedal gets all jiggly on slight changes in road situations. For example, going into my driveway, driving over a manhole cover, etc. This has felt dangerous in several instances if I'm slowing down for a red light and the ABS kicks in and significantly increases my stopping distance.

When hitting a pothole or bump at low speeds the braking system fails and does not brake. As if the abs system engages and leaves me going further when i need to stop. This problem always happens on the same street where i live

My wife nearly crashed into a vehicle because the brakes on her 2023 Palisade would not work! I researched and she is not the only one this has happened to. It seems to be a known issue but there is no recall assigned to this, which is a huge safety concern for my wife and for our daughters, which were in the car when this happened. It could have been much worse if the brakes failed and the car were to drift into cross-traffic! This needs to be addressed immediately before someone gets seriously injured or even dies! In the meantime, our Palisade will not be driven.

The car would not brake when approaching a stoplight and I nearly ran into the vehicle in front of me. I had my daughters and a friend of theirs in the car and it could have been disastrous if I were to have not been able to brake and drove into cross traffic! This issue needs to be addressed immediately before someone gets seriously injured or dies!

Over sensitive ABS when going over bums or bumpy roads the breaks get really hard, makes a loud cranking noise and break peddle starts shaking really bad unable to bring the car to a complete stop I-??ve taken it in and they said they couldn't mimic that reaction. It feels very unsafe specially when you have little kids in they car.

*Conditions: sunny, dry, about 70 degrees While driving at a lower speed (< 20 MPH), I started applying my brakes just before going over a railroad track. After starting to initially slow down, I crossed the railroad tracks and my brakes started pulsing very loudly but were no longer slowing down the car. Despite breaking about 5 to 6 seconds before the car in front of me, I just keep on rolling right up to the point where I was going to hit them and then the auto-safety stop slammed my car to a halt. I may have actually hit them, it was hard to tell. The driver even pulled over, got out and looked at their car, but gave me a thumbs up as if I didn't hit them. I'm extremely concerned that my brakes didn't work in perfect conditions when starting to break with PLENTY of time. I just went online to see if this has happened to others because it was so crazy, and it looks like there are numerous stories just like mine (i.e., when breaking on a bumpy surface). How in the world has this not been recalled?!!! My car has less than 20k miles on it and it has been regularly serviced via Hyundai dealerships. I have dashcam video to verify/corroborate my story. You can see that I was going slow to begin with, started breaking well before I needed to, you can hear my breaks grinding loudly, and the car is just not stopping until the last second before I'm about to crash where it slams to a halt from the automated stopping system.

While driving at slow speed I took my foot off the gas and applied pressure to the brake pedal. The brakes did not work properly; the brakes engaged and disengaged multiple times and the car continued to lurch forward almost resulting in a collision. This is a critical failure of the braking system and is extremely unsafe. In this scenario, I could have hit the car in front of me. Had I been approaching an intersection, I could have been in a severe collision. I brought the car to the dealership and they could not replicate the issue. They inspected the vehicle and did not provide any information on what could have caused the issue. No component was identified as the cause of the problem. No warning lamps were on prior to or after the incident. During the incident, I was not looking at my dashboard; I was trying to not hit the vehicle in front of me. The car has under 20,000 miles and has been driven for just over a year.

When moving over bumpy ground at slow speeds - the brakes don-??t latch on properly. The entire vehicle shakes and continues to move forward in a bumpy fashion. Never happened to me in any other car and I drive the same routes everyday. Many people are complaining about it online for the Palisade - and it seems like Hyundai has confirmed the issue but isn-??t fixing it or issuing a recall. Please take action!

When pressing the brake pedal over uneven pavement (at low speeds of less than 10 mph) the brake pedal shuddered so harshly I thought I wouldn't be able to stop. The first time this occurred, I was driving over a manhole cover and braking as I was behind a school bus slowing to a stop at a stop sign - I thought I was going to collide with the bus. The second time occurred when turning into a parking lot which was uneven (where the parking lot met the sidewalk). This seems like a significant safety hazard that could cause crashes, injuries and fatalities. Please look into this.

The Hyundai Palisade 2023 faces a braking issue when going over an uneven or rough patch on the road. When the brake is depressed, the vehicle does not slow down. The brake vibrates and does not fully engage. Only when pressing the brake very strongly does it engage and bring the vehicle to a stop. Faced this issue a few times with no vehicles in front of time. Once as I was pulling out of a parking lot, I had the same issue and had cars ahead of me. I struggled to bring my car to a halt to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of me. This is quite dangerous and should be addressed by Hyundai. Upon talking to multiple Palisade owners, they have all consistently faced the same issue. Some of my friends in India say they-??ve faced the same issue on smaller size Hyundai SUVs that they own there.

After hitting any size bump my car does not stop, the car starts shaking, and I have to slam on the brake in order to stop. This has happened multiple times, the most recent caused me to almost run a red light and cause and accident. I am reaching out to the dealer today. The car did not show any warning lights on the dashboard.

Under slow speeds and while applying brakes over bumps, the breaks become unresponsive. The car does not react to pushing the brakes pedal. It almost feels like ABS is kicking in but the car does not slow down.
