Driving slowly in a parking lot, went over a speed bump and the car suddenly started to shake/rumble and the brakes did not work. Almost hit the car infront of me. Very forcibly, applied brakes again which did stop the car. Just did a Google search and others have reported same issue and one suggested to file this complaint with you as apparently Hyundai is doing nothing about it. Car has just over 3000 miles on it and we have had no other issues. We have not brought it to service as it has just happened today. No warning lights came on. This is copied from a post 5 months ago: Hyundai corporate has told me that, upon testing other Palisades, they have discovered that this happens in ALL 2024 Palisades". I do not think this is a safe "idiosycrysity" that all Palidades should have.

Since around the 1000-mile mark, I have been having an issue sporadically we are when I am breaking and going over either a pothole, an entrance to a driveway, railroad tracks, or in general slowing down toward a stop sign going under approximately 15 miles an hour the entire car loses control and starts shaking. The ABS system or something similar is kicking in at the wrong times and it is perilous and can cause an accident as you have no control over the braking anymore for a few seconds. The entire car shakes in the front end, including feeling it through the brake pedal as well as the steering wheel. I have brought the vehicle many times to my local Hyundai dealership and have been told there is no issue and everything is operating according to how it should when I took the head of their maintenance shop out for a ride and replicated the issue I was told that it is operating normally and despite many people having the same issue online he was told by their back and " Tech line team" to say this is operating normally. Hyundai needs to be held accountable for these dangerous cars as it is only a matter of time before someone loses their life when they cannot control their vehicles braking power during such an incident.

Issue: ABS Brakes Safety Issue: Almost crashed into gas station Manufacturer Contacted - Not Yet. No Warning lights or errors on dash. Incident: Unexpected ABS Activation and Reduced Braking Effectiveness Date: October 28, 2024 Time: 5:30 PM CST Location: Pelham, AL Weather: Sunny and Dry Description: On several occasions, I have experienced unexpected pulsating of the ABS brakes while driving over rough, paved roads at speeds below 15 mph. In previous instances, this occurred while approaching a red light or stop sign, and I was able to stop safely. However, today, while pulling into a parking space at a Chevron Gas Station in Pelham, AL, I encountered a similar issue. The pavement was dry, uneven, and rough. Despite traveling at only 10 mph, I was unable to stop effectively within the parking space. The vehicle did not slow down as expected, and I felt as though the rear brakes were solely responsible for bringing the vehicle to a stop at the last moment. Increasing pressure on the brake pedal had minimal effect on slowing or stopping the vehicle. I have been driving for over 37 years and am very familiar with the sensation of ABS brakes activating in emergency situations. In this instance, the road was dry, and the braking was very gradual, so there was no apparent reason for the ABS to engage. This issue has only been observed on dry, rough, paved roads. Notably, the ABS pulsation continued even after transitioning from the rough pavement to a smooth surface.

When braking on bumpy road the brakes do not stop the car and car begins to shake violently and it stops abruptly after moving several feet. Car is at risk of hitting a pedestrian crossing in front of car. Dealer replaced one strut the believed was causing the problem. Problem persisted and dealer said they couldn't replicate so they will not replace the 2nd strut. Seems like the solution is replacing the strut but dealer will not replace at no cost. This is a safety hazard. Not sure if the strut is the solution or if antilock brake system is faulty.

for no reason, when driving at less than 20 MPH and starting to brake, the brake system will fail to stop the vehicle. Feels like the ABS model has gone nuts modulating, but even with the brake pedal fully pressed, you can only hope the vehicle will stop prior to hitting something or being hit. It does not matter the road conditions, as my issues have always been on smooth roads. There is no indication as when this problem will happen, and no fault indicators are present. After each incident, the vehicle brake system will function normally until the next incident occurs. This has happened on multiple occassions.

When the brakes are applied while in low speeds and you are driving on rough pavement or you hit a bump in the road the car skids and won't come to a stop. It feels like the ABS has kicked in. There are a few brick roads in my town. In just one block when I stop it will skid almost completely through the stop sign. I have to brake almost halfway before I get to the stop sign. The other day I was driving in the middle of town going around 25 mph and went to stop at a stoplight. My car hit a patch of rough pavement and skidded almost into the back of the car in front of me. I have only had my Palisade for a few months and the paint is chipping terribly. I have the night edition and 2 weeks after having it there were tons of chips in the grill. I do not live on gravel nor do I travel on gravel often. This should not be happening this soon. Why is there not a protectant applied" Why is my paint chipping so soon"

I was slowing to a stop for a red light while in traffic. My foot was lightly on the brake. I felt a bump on the front right I think, like perhaps I had hit a small pothole. The pavement was dry. It was about 100 degrees. My car lurched forward. I applied firm pressure to the brake. It made no difference as far as slowing the car. The brakes seemed locked. I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me. There were no warning lights on the dash. I released the brake for a very brief moment and reapplied firm pressure. I managed to stop my car closer than I would have chosen to the car in front of me.

When applying the brakes as you approach a stop light or vehicle etc.. the vehicle will apply or go into an ABS event and lock you out of the brake pedal so you can't apply any more pressure to the pedal and will not stop the vehicle without a collision. I have had this happen several times and have had to steer into the ditch or oncoming lane to avoid an accident. This has occurred at slow speeds as well as highway speeds. This is a very dangerous situation and will cause an accident

The car fails to completely brake when going slowly over uneven pavement. The car, steering wheel and brakes shake before stopping and coming to a complete stop.

In the last two weeks my car has experienced issues with braking a total of 5 times. The issue seems to happen when there may be an uneven road, pothole, or gravel. On 3 of the 5 occurrences, I was at a 4-way intersection with a car full of children. I was going no more than 10-15 mph at most because its a residential street and had ample time to stop. Upon pressing the brakes, my car slowed down a bit but then the brakes failed and I rolled through the interesection, having to blare my horn to warn others I could not stop. This could have been a deadly event had I needed to stop at a major intersection or to avoid a collision. I will be contacting the dealership today, however I have noticed there are multiple complaints regarding this issue and many lawyers discussing building a class action lawsuit as Hyundai fails to address the issues.

I was driving on a bit uneven surface, a temporary bridge, at low speed ~25mph. I pressed brakes to stop but the car started shaking and didnt stop as the brakes completely froze. I could have rammed into the car in front. I quickly released the brakes and pressed again with full force in fraction of a second and it somehow worked this time. It was a very scary experience with me and my family in car. This bridge was on a river and could have had catastrophic results for me any my family. This is a very serious safety issue. I see a lot of complaints from Palisade owners facing this issue online.

Multiple times approaching a crosswalk and stop sign at my kid-??s school going about 15 mph and started to apply the brakes as we went over some slightly uneven ground The car lurched forward repeatedly as the brakes were applied, bouncing forward in spurts rather while I applied the brakes with great force, the car took twice as long to stop than it should have. I went well past the crosswalk and stop sign despite beginning to brake with plenty of time to stop. This is so far from how an ABS system is supposed to work and something that is potentially dangerous.

The ABS starting shaking and skipping the car while braking when I wasn-??t even in a situation where ABS needed to be used. It is available for inspection. When this happened it caused braking to be worse and less responsive than what would have happened with normal braking. The car is currently at the dealership being looked over. As this is unsafe when I have a baby in the car. No warning lights or anything. Which is also concerning since the ABS light should be triggered when the ABS system is in use.

When the brakes are applied on uneven road at slow speeds, the brake pulse violently but does not stop. This creates a very dangerous situation. This happened several times and when my daughter was driving the car, came within an inch of rear ending someone. I had a 2021 Palisades Calligraphy which we drove on the same roads and this was never an issue.

I bought a 24 Palisade Ltd Few month into ownership, I was approaching a stop light going 10 mph and started to apply the brakes as I passed over some slightly bumpy ground. The car lurched forward repeatedly as the brakes were applied, bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and taking twice as long to stop than it should have; I was one foot from rear-ending a biker and a car in front of me despite beginning to break with plenty of time to stop - this is so far from how an ABS system is supposed to work and something that will get you in a wreck), Hyundai dealership has told me that, they dont see a problem and fixed nothing.

While braking at a stop, and encountering a pothole (has occurred even without a pothole on straight surfaces), it feels like the is ABS kicking in to avoid wheel lockup, and apparent slowing which rapidly mimics activities that could cause hard braking. Similar to when the car is on ice/snow and the car pulses to stop. Unsafe, as the vehicle does not top when intended and forces the vehicle to take longer to stop with the potential to involuntarily enter an intersection. I have had this occur multiple times. I am fearful that I will potentially have an accident with my grandchildren in the car. Dealership is aware of multiple issues, but cannot duplicate and thus will not resolve. No warning lights, or notifications occurred. Has been discussed on 2024 Palisade Calligraphy forums. Review other reviews on reddit where other models have been affected.

After I purchased within a month I was approaching a parking spot and I applied brakes. They wouldn-??t press down and the car start jumping forward. I pressed hard and the car would not stop and I hit a curb and it finally stopped. Second time: Approaching a stop sign I went over an un even are in the asphalt and the car jumped forward and I applied brakes and it jumped around and would not stop. I took to purchasing dealership and told them and showed them online issues others were having. They gave a rental for a week and called and said to come and get the car they could not duplicate the issue. I told them I was afraid and didn-??t want to hit someone or a person. They said unless they could duplicate there was nothing they could do. I changed dealerships and plan to take to them for the issue. It has happened to me on a dirt road approaching the entrance to make a turn. I am making sure before I take back that I can have someone ride with me and show them. I don-??t want them telling me they cannot duplicate again. It is very scary and if a pedestrian was in front of me I have no control of the car when this happens.

Whenever the car goes over bumps in the road at low speeds the ABS system activates. You can feel a -??grinding-?? sensation emanating from the brake pedal. When it happens, if you try to engage the brakes, they don-??t engage for several seconds. It happened to me recently with my kids in the car and we almost rolled into a busy intersection and could have been seriously injured.

This happened many times, almost causing an accident once. When driving at a slow speed over a small bump in the road, and braking, the ABS system goes haywire and the vehicle fails to stop.
