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.

Was in traffic on a summer dry day when I went to stop again at a speed under 15 and brakes locked up the steering wheel starting to shake and brakes were pulsating up and down I had to really push down hard and all the way on the brakes and it finally stopped the car. I almost rear ended the car infront of me no lights came on the dash no warning noises

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.

I was driving over train tracks at about 5 mph when my car wouldn-??t brake. I was jamming down on the pedal and that eventually triggered a really aggressive ABS and emergency braking. I came millimeters away from hitting the car in front of me and the whole time it felt like I had zero control of the car and the car just had a mind of its own. Based on what I-??ve read online I believe this is a known issue that Hyundai is ignoring.

I was slowing down approaching an intersection with cars already at a full stop up ahead. I was braking to slow down in preparation to stop. As I got closer, I drove over railroad tracks and felt the brake pedal begin to vibrate like the automatic emergency braking system kicked in. With my foot still on the brake, the car continued forward without any additional decrease in speed. I pushed my foot down as hard as I could and the car stopped inches from the car in front of me. I-??m not sure if me pressing on the brake more even did anything or if some other collision avoidance system in the car stopped it before colliding with the car in front of me. There was beeping and the display switched to show cameras in front of the car, which happens when getting close to something while parking, etc. Luckily I was slowing and not at a high rate of speed. If I had hit the car ahead of me, there would have been damage but not major. What if I was going faster when this occurred" Or if I was braking for a person or bike" Or if it was collision avoidance that actually stopped the car here but I was the first car stopping in the intersection and couldn-??t stop.

I purchased my vehicle from South Point Hyundai in Austin, Texas on [XXX], 2022. Almost immediately after purchase, I began having trouble with the vehicle-??s braking system. In essence, the vehicle seems to inappropriately activate its ABS while braking over uneven surfaces (think-parking lots, speed bumps) in dry conditions. I have dashcam videos of at least three examples of this happening (from Aug -??22 through May -??24). I took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs that included the braking issue on or about [XXX], 2022, but the dealer claimed they were unable to diagnose and address the braking problem. There were no dash indicators or DTCs that were available. This problem continued to exhibit itself and was a matter of concern to our family, until the braking system-??s failure caused a collision with a parking garage access gate arm on [XXX] 2024. This incident has created distress, and substantially impairs my family-??s willingness to use the vehicle due to a now established safety hazard. We do not wish to put others in danger for a mechanical failure that we were told was non-existent when we tried to get it fixed in December of 2022. We have also been put in a tough situation because we do not have access to an additional vehicle for use while the problem is diagnosed at the dealer.

While driving intermittently, the brake pedal becomes hard and does not allow for eased braking. The car continues to roll forward and appears unable to stop. After pumping and applying hard pressure, finally, the brake pedal depresses fully and forces a hard and immediate stop. The entire car seems to shake during the event. This has occurred approximately 5-8 different times at different speeds, all below 25 mph, such as in a parking lot and while exiting the freeway. There have been no lights or warning indications before, during, or after. The entire car shakes violently when the brake pedal is gently pressed. The car almost continued into an intersection of heavy traffic before stopping. The first and only appointment has just been made with the dealer for inspection tomorrow, April 16, 2024. No maintenance has been performed since the original purchase, and no other incidents have occurred with the vehicle.

When traveling at a modest rate of speed, if I apply the brakes going over any slightly uneven terrain the ABS triggers randomly and makes braking really difficult. It takes longer to stop and much harder pressure. I have reported this issue to the dealer but per usual they "cannot duplicate ", however it happens very often and my dash cam has caught it.

My 2023 Hyundai Palisade has experienced loss of braking/power braking at least three times (two of which almost resulted in a collision). It is not within recall 23V415000. After the first failure, the service center did the recommended repairs (replace faulty brake booster) of that recall. The brakes failed again shortly after. The service center also confirmed they felt the brakes go soft when they were repairing it a second time. This time they replaced the brake master cylinder assembly, pin assembly, etc. The brakes failed another time after this. We took it back to the dealership, where it has been since. We have lost all faith in the brakes of this car, and this presents a major safety concern to Palisade drivers and those on the road.

ABS system engages on graveled inclines and potholes, overly sensitive. Cannot stop in time and had times where almost hit car in front. Took to dealership and they state no issues. ABS should not be this sensitive where it engages in normal everyday driving.

My 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD engages the anti-lock braking system when I go over small bumps sometimes. It has happened at least twice in the last 24 hours and almost caused an accident because it resulted in a longer than expected braking time and distance. I have scheduled an appointment, but am unable to be seen for another two weeks so the dealer has not inspected it yet. There are no warnings, only shaking from the ABS and clearly reduced braking power.

I was just turning right from a stoplight into a store parking lot when I lost power steering & my brakes were -??difficult-?? to push down. I barely got it out of the way of traffic and I turned the car off, got out, opened and closed my door, and got back in and it started back up and drove to the parking spot like nothing had happened. Sensors reset to 0. It happened again 2 stops away while in a drive through. I did the same thing and it started back up ok. It would do this every 2-3 days for 2 weeks. Finally it did it one day, 5-6 times. The day I called the dealership & said that I was afraid my 2023 Palisade was going to literally get me killed on the highway was when the manager was able to get me a loaner vehicle to drive. It-??s been in the dealership for over a week. I saw the recall about the loss of power brake assist online and thought this may pertain to my Palisade.

Brakes failed. Brake pedal went to floor unable to stop. First the dealership said it was the ABS sensor failed. after they replaced the abs sensor they then determined the master brake cylinder piston ruptured causing the fault in the ABS. The repair has been made and brakes a working fine now.. However this failure could of resulted in q catastrophic accident The contact stated that repairs were made on the vehicle.
