The 2022 Hyundai Palisade is designed as a family-friendly vehicle that turns heads. The automaker claims it helps customers “arrive in style, safely.” Yet, the consensus online is that this SUV has a lot of faults that must be dealt with, including faulty windshields that crack spontaneously, sunroofs that explode and shatter, defective steering, and malfunctioning engines.

Most Common Problems with the 2022 Hyundai Palisade
There has been a total of 33 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) since September 26, 2021. Nearly a third of these complaints (12 in all) relate to windshields that crack for no apparent reason or from minimal impact. There are also 2 complaints that report windshield wipers that have stopped working in a snowstorm. A third complains that wipers come on without rain or moisture present.
One NHTSA complaint suggests that the wiper system is poorly designed and needs an urgent revamp.
Steering is another major issue, with 6 complaints. Some say the Palisade loses power steering while driving while most say the steering simply becomes very difficult to manage. Clearly, it affects safety, not just for the Palisade driver and passengers but also for others on the road.
Exploding sunroofs and faulty engines currently have 3 NHTSA complaints each. Two of the engine complaints also involve the electrical system, which is another area of concern with 4 complaints. Other components and systems that have attracted complaints are forward collision avoidance, lane departure, seat belts, seats, brakes, and vehicle speed control.
There is also an urgent recall that affects the 2022 Hyundai Palisade as well as the 2020 and 2021 models. A total of 245,030 vehicle owners have been warned that their vehicles could catch fire when being driven or when parked. This is due to a problem with the tow hitch harness.
Does the 2022 Hyundai Palisade have a Windshield Cracking Problem?
Complaints to the NHTSA show that there is a huge problem with 2022 Palisade windshields. For example:
“Our new 2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy with 1200 miles windshield spontaneously cracked in the middle after warming it with the remote car starter in the morning. There was no rock chip or hit the night before when we drove it. It just split, possibly because of warming up a cool windshield.”
“Windshield has chipped 4 times in (the) last year.”
“Vehicle is only 2 weeks old and (the) windshield cracked for no reason, the crack is progressing.”
“Cracks occurring on (the) windshield without direct impact. Requesting warranty repair but is not being honored by (the) dealer.”
“Windshield cracks too easily. Glass is not strong, very thin, (and) non-protective. 2600 miles.”
An owner from Mississippi states: “The most infuriating part is that the road was clear, there is no way a rock could have hit my car.” After doing some online research, the owner discovered evidence of “issues with the 2020 and 2021 windshields cracking easily.”
“I’m so irritated, especially because it can’t be repaired, the whole windshield would need to be replaced.”
An owner from Texas states that a Palisade technician said “the Palisade windshields are very fragile and sometimes when chips are being repaired the entire windshield will crack.” After getting a chip in his 2022 Palisade windshield repaired, he was faced with another crack within 24 hours… nowhere near the original chip.
“It will need to be replaced soon because I am afraid it is going to crack all the way to the driver’s side edge and fall in on me and my passengers.”
Is There a Steering Problem with the 2022 Palisade?
Steering issues appear to be a serious safety risk. Complaints to the NHTSA range from steering issues causing strain on drivers to descriptions of terrifying safety issues.
An owner from Arizona states that the steering wheel shakes or vibrates when reaching 65-75 mph. “This is not safe at this speed and uncomfortable to drive. The service manager drove it and agreed the issue was there.” But the problem continues because every time they “fix” the problem, it recurs.
On August 4, 2002, a Tennessee owner couldn’t control the vehicle and said it “was terrifying. I can’t imagine if I had been on the highway or interstate when this happened. The dealership is telling me not to drive my car if I don’t feel safe. But they can’t look at it until the end of September 2022.”
An owner from Oregon reports that his 2022 Palisade “loses all power steering.” There is a message about lane assist. “This is dangerous as I can’t turn. The only fix is to attempt to pull over, turn the car off and let it reset. This has happened three times in the middle of traffic, nearly causing accidents.”
What’s Wrong with the Sunroofs in the 2022 Palisade?
Lemberg Law is aware that an unacceptable number of vehicles manufactured by many different manufacturers have issues with sunroofs that shatter. We have recently launched class action investigations into sunroofs that shatter and/or explode in the 2020 RAM 1500 and Toyota Camry, the 2020-2021 Toyota Highlander, the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Toyota RAV4, and the 2022 Ford Explorer, Kia Telluride, and the 2022 Hyundai Palisade.
All sunroof issues with these vehicles are bad. Here are some comments made by 2022 Palisade owners in their complaints to the NHTSA.
Complaint from an Owner in Virginia
The first came from an owner in Virginia who described how his sunroof shattered while he and his family were traveling on State Highway 170 in Eastern Colorado in December 2021.
“The temperature outside was just below freezing and the temperature inside was set to between 72 and 78. We heard a loud bang and we were showered with broken glass. My wife, two sons, and I received minor cuts. My wife possibly got some glass in her eye but seems to have gotten it out with no ill effect. While I was very startled I didn’t swerve. If I had, we would likely have lost control of the vehicle. We were traveling at freeway speeds and I think we would have been seriously injured or killed if this had occurred.”
A Nebraska Owner Heard a Loud Explosion
“Upon inspection, it was discovered that the glass sunroof had exploded and shattered. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered.”
Boom and Another Sunroof Shatters…
A 2022 Palisade owner from Maryland heard a “loud “boom” on the roof of my vehicle” after stopping on the road to smoke a cigarette. “I finished my cigarette and began to close the sunroof when I heard another loud noise with glass falling into my vehicle. I looked up and noticed that my sunroof had shattered completely.”
Does the 2022 Hyundai Palisade Have Engine Problems?
To get to the destination safely, a well-built engine has to be part of the vehicle. However, this motor doesn’t do the Palisade any favors.
There are varied engine problems that 2022 Palisade owners have reported to the NHTSA. For example, an owner from Ohio states that the engine shut off while pulling off a highway, negatively affecting the brakes. An owner from Texas says the engine restarted after shutting. But, because there was no key available, it continued to run overnight and filled the car with carbon monoxide.
The owner of a 2022 Palisade from Missouri has a very different complaint. His brand-new vehicle had an oil leak from the head gasket that was so bad he was told not to drive the car.
Ultimately: “Hyundai is covering under warranty at no cost but now I’m concerned over the 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.”
One Edmunds review says, “Engine, by default setting, turns off while you’re waiting for the light to turn green. The gas it saves is minimal at best, compared to the wear and tear of your battery and starter.”
For now, Hyundai isn’t discussing the engine concerns. At this point, the automaker is probably scared to bring up anything resembling an admission of guilt after all the lawsuits about defective motors in the vehicles. In the past, Hyundai motors have created car fires, so this has got to be a touchy subject, one to avoid at all costs. Still, it’s unclear how “safe” the drive is in the 2022 Palisade. Most customers aren’t sticking around to find out.
What Are Your Rights if you think your Hyundai Palisade is a Lemon?

| Description | Upon returning from vacation, we found our moonroof had shattered. The vehicle was sitting in a parking garage at logan airport in boston for 7 days, with no evidence of any cause. The entirety of the glass was shattered and bowed up towards the center as if popping under tension. If the sunshade were open, shards of glass would have fallen upon myself and three children in the car. The description appears to match several other similar events described by other owners in previous nhtsa reports as well as online message boards. |

| Description | 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. |

| Description | In the passenger side second row captain seat, our son who is in a high back booster seat has buckled his seatbelt. We had heard the click. The seatbelt warning light has indicated the seat belt was buckled. About an hour into the ride we hear the warning bell that a seatbelt has been unbuckled. He had not unbuckled it or touched it. It just undid itself. Was it not fully locked to begin with ? Would it have come out if we had gotten into an accident??? Why was there no warning light if it was indeed not fully locked? This has happened twice now and concerned if the seatbelts are reliable. The most recent time occurring this past week, 2/10/23 |

| Description | Driving on a highway on 1/13/2023 and suddenly the sunroof exploded! It sounded just like a gunshot when it happened. Nothing at all hit the vehicle or sunroof, just a spontaneous explosion with glass going everywhere. Luckily there were no injuries to the driver from falling glass and we did not go into oncoming traffic on a two lane highway. It was extremely startling! This car only has about 8,000 miles on it, we bought it new in november 2021. I contacted the dealer where it was purchased. Fortunately they saw fit to repair it free of charge to us, and provide us with a loaner car. |

| Description | If the weather is snowy, or there has been snow built up on the windshield the windshield wipers fail to operate until you pull over and clear the windshield cowl of 100% of snow in that area. This happens while driving and while parked. Imagine driving down the road in a severe snowstorm and having your windshield wipers just stop working on a whim, and you have to pull over to the side of the road, where there may not even be a shoulder to pull off to, so that you can clear the wiper sensor. Then 5 miles later you have to do it again because heavy snow built up. |

| Description | Two days ago, my husband took our vehicle to the car wash. At the other end of the car wash, it was discovered that the closed panoramic sunroof was completely destroyed during the process. Shards of glass were everywhere. We have contacted hyundai and they have told my husband there is no class action suit about this problem. Even though it is under warranty, as it is a 2022, they refuse to take responsibility to take care of the damages. I have found through my research, that this was a class action lawsuit, which was closed in 2017, but continues to be a very bad problem for not only hyundai but many other vehicles using a particular type of glass. We are now unable to get the parts to repair it, as the glass company cannot get a part from hyundai, and hyundai refuses to comply comply. |

I wasn't told this wasn't being repaired or that the wiring was being disabled. I towed a small boat a few weeks later and as it got dark, figured out the lights weren't working. I called them today to let them know the repair wasn't done and this was when I learned they didn't actually repair it. I also was not notified by the manufacturer of the recall. I was told about it by a relative. When I contacted them, they said they weren't responsible for notifying me. |

| Description | Our vehicle was purchased and taken home on 04/29/2022. On 05/06/23 we took the care in for an alignment issue, as the car drives right off the road, to the right. Dealership said it was off, at 200 miles only. They realigned and gave it back. It happens again, right after leaving the dealership. Car was taken back again on 05/06/22 for realignment yet again. Dealership rotated tires and realigned. This did not work again. So the third time, 06/23/22 we received another rotate and realignment. Again, this did not help, and a new front strut was ordered. The would drive right off the road, to the right, every time. Creating a major safety issue for our two toddlers, and family. The front strut was installed on 10/12/22. The dealership has been frustrated due to not being able to fix the alignment. Mind you, brand new car, 2022 palisade. Front strut put on, but the vehicle is veering right again. Even the driver who picked the car up said he noticed the problem. Cooperate said we must get a second opinion from a hyundai dealership before they can intervene. We have taken this brand new car to the same dealer at 200 miles, 1,000 miles, 5,000 miles and most recently for the strut. We're going to get into an accident and hyundai beats around the bush. |

| Description | A rock hit the windshield of my new 2022 palisade while driving on the highway and caused a small chip on the driver's side about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom. I contacted the dealership right away because when I purchased my vehicle I was told they would repair chips at no charge. When I was making the appointment to get it repaired, the technician stated that the palisade windshields are very fragile and sometimes when chips are being repaired the entire windshield will crack. However, if I did not get the chip repaired my windshield would crack anyway. I had the chip repaired and within 24 hours my windshield cracked down the middle from the top to 1/2 down the windshield - nowhere near the chip. Then within 2 days the crack turned and went all the way to the edge of the windshield on the passenger's side. A few days later a new crack formed in the middle of that crack and went down towards the bottom of the windshield and is coming back towards the driver's side! I have not been hit by that many rocks! I am reporting this here, with the dealership and with hyundai in case there is some kind of recall on the 2022 palisade windshields. It will need to be replaced soon because I am afraid it is going to crack all the way to the driver's side edge and fall in on me and my passengers. |

| Description | Vehicle sped up/kept going towards the traffic ahead while on adaptive cruise control. Vehicle also started showing “radar disabled†warnings & has continued intermittently (on a daily basis) for about the past 3 weeks. The “forward collision avoidance disabled†warnings keep popping up even while not on cruise control. Nothing physical is blocking the radar. The on-board computer does not record any errors & the dealership claims they can't see the error (apparently the computer doesn't record/store the errors). I have pictures & videos of the errors & reported to the manufacturer. |

| Description | When increasing speed once it hits 65 up to 75 the steering wheel shake/vibrates. This is not safe at this speed and uncomfortable to drive. The service manager drove it and agreed the issue was there. It has been into be fixed several times. I am told each time it is fixed, but when test driven it is still an issue. I have been told it is fixed, but I have told them it is not. |

| Description | Our vehicle has captain seats in the middle row. The seat buckles are so far recessed it's always difficult to buckle, especially when using car seats or boosters. Our children, nearly 9 and 7 years old who had no difficulties buckling before, are unable to buckle themselves with their boosters now. Additionally, and even more concerning, is that the seat belt will "click" as if it's been buckled but come unbuckled partially through the drive. I have found I have to get two clicks and/or yank on the buckle to ensure it's all the way in. But for children it's confusing as they're unsure if they've buckled correctly. A hyundai dealer inspected it and stated it as a known problem but that there's nothing that can currently be fixed about it. However, I worry if in an accident the seat belt may actually come undone as it's not all the way in most of the time. |

If another driver that is taller or shorter tries to drive and adjust their mirrors, they will be unable to do so, limiting rear side view visibility and creating a dangerous situation. Dealer reproduced issue, then supposedly tried to correct it by "resetting the mirrors program" and failed again a day later and does not work ever since. There were no warning lights |

| Description | I was driving out of my subdivision when the follow lane assist warning light came on. My steering wheel immediately became difficult to steer. Very difficult. I was able to make it back into my subdivision. I turned off the car and the warning lights went off. This was terrifying. I can't imagine if I had been on the highway or interstate when this happened. The dealership is telling me not to drive my car if I don't feel. Safe but they can't look at it until the end of september 2022. I just purchased this car in april. Im terrified of this happening again. Also, my windshield wipers are coming on on auto without rain or moisture on the windshield. Don't know if the two are related. |

| Description | The car pulls to the right and it is hard to steer left. At speeds higher than 50mph the steering wheels vibrates when turning left to correct the veering. The lane departure and lane keeping assist to not operate correctly because the car veers to the right. I have had the car serviced twice within one week of purchasing and there is no fix from the dealer nor hyundai. This issue was apparent within minutes of first driving the car, there are no warning lights. The alignment is out of spec but cannot be corrected by the dealer. The cause is reported as an issue with the steering angle sensor. |

| Description | Speedometer stopped working and went to zero mph june 1, 2022. Vehicle has only 2,800 miles on it. Shutting off and restarting the car did not solve this. Simultaneously, the car compass indicated wrong direction; a safety announcement came over the infotainment system repeatedly telling us we were driving the wrong way on the street (we were not). No other indicators of a malfunction came on and the car's internal diagnostics said all was normal despite this problem. Went immediately to hyundai dealer who confirmed the problem. Dealer fixed it by disconnecting the car's battery and reconnecting it a few minutes later. Safety issue is that suddenly we could not tell if we were exceeding the speed limit or driving too slow. |

| Description | On may 7, 2022 I was driving to georgia to visit a loved one in the hospital at night. I was driving by myself with my dog. Approximately 1:50 am, I stopped in greensville, nc (my halfway point to my destination) to relieve myself, let the dog relieve himself, and fill up my gas tank for the 2nd time (which was 5 hours from my destination). Approximately 15-20 mins after getting back on the road, I opened my sunroof to smoke a cigarette and I hear a loud "boom" on the roof of my vehicle. I looked up to see if my roof luggage crossbars were still in place (and it was). I continued to drive. I finished my cigarette and began to close the sunroof when I heard another loud noise with glass falling into my vehicle. I looked up and noticed that my sunroof has shattered completely. I hit the s. O. S button for assistance and they asked me to pull over. I told they, "absolutely not! This is not a well lit area; I'm driving by myself; it's just me and my dog; I don't know where I am; I'm in the middle of nowhere; I'm scared; and it's 2:00 in the morning!" I continued driving and told the operator that I was coming up on an area that looked better lit with signs showing food, lodging, and gas. I told her, I was going to get off the highway and go to one of the gas stations in that area. I took the exit and headed to the gas station; however, all of them were closed. I asked her what were my options? She stated that she wanted to send roadside assistance to my location and they would tow my vehicle to the nearest hyundai dealership. I told her that everything was closed and because it was so late and I was in the middle of nowhere, I would continue to my destination and call back. I continued to drive 5 hours straight (without stopping) to get to georgia. During the remainder of my travel, I had to keep holding the sunroof cover because of the vibrations from the wind pockets to keep the cover from sliding and vibrating. |

Maybe I am unlucky that there have been two in a short period of time and so close to the original purchase date. Wanted to document the issue in case there is an issue with the windscreens. I have heard (internet) of other concerns/issues with hyundai windscreens, not sure if the palisade is effected or not. |

| Description | 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. |

| Description | Windshield wipers stopped working while driving in a snow storm. You then have to pull off the road with little to no forward visibility. At one point my wife had to roll down the window and stick her head out to see to pull off the road. The wipers seem to pack snow into the area they park and then quit. It is very difficult to get them working again no matter how much snow you dig out of the area the wipers park in. This has happened three times so far this winter. |

The contact stated that after his wife started the vehicle there were several warning messages displayed on the instrument panel including the check engine light, traction control, fuel-saving, forward collision, and master warning lights. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who discovered that the electrical wiring harness had been chewed on and damaged by rodents. The wiring harness was replaced, and the failure was remedied. The contact was informed that because the wiring harness was manufactured using a soy-based material the rodents would chew on the wiring harnesses. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,332. Vehicle has been repaired.*jb |

| Description | This is horrible and a disaster waiting to happen. Had the vehicle for one week. First snow storm was driving and the wipers stopped working. Most likely due to the poor design of the wiper system. Had to pull over on a highway in a snow storm and dig out the snow from the well where the wipers sit. This is unacceptable and something needs to be done about it. The entire wiper system needs a revamp asap. |

There was traffic on freeway so car wasn't driven above 40mph speed. The windshield appears to be super thin, and probe to these issues. This thing isn't being covered by hyundai and is first in my driving life of 9 years. This is first time with hyundai, lexus and mercedes didn't have any low quality windshields. |

| Description | 2022 palisade, less than 3000 miles and this happens. The dealer said “sorry, but it's road hazard†I've owned other vehicles and have driven in interstates with plenty of trucks with things hitting my windshield (previous cars) and I have never in my life seen a windshield crack so easily. The most infuriating part is that the road was clear, there is no way a rock could have hit my car, I wasn't driving through any underpass nothing to have caused it, where I could have been like fml debris from a truck. I love my palisade but I was not surprised when I did some research and saw that they are having issues with the 2020 and 2021 windshields cracking easily and have a lawsuit for “fragile windshield†I have filed a complaint and opened a case with hyundai! I talked to safelite and an autobody shop and was told that a windshield should not have cracked so easily. I'm so irritated, especially because it can't be repaired, the whole windshield would need to be replaced. |

| Description | Sunroof shattered. We were traveling on i70 in eastern colorado. The temperature outside was just below freezing and the temperature inside was set to between 72 and 78. We heard a loud bang and we were showered with broken glass. My wife, two sons and I received minor cuts. My wife possibly got some glass in her eye but seems to have gotten it out with no ill effect. While I was very startled I didn't swerve. If I had, we would likely have lost control of the vehicle. We were traveling at freeway speeds and I think we would have been seriously injured or killed if this had occurred. |

I think I have a lemon. Power steering went out three times total, they continue to say they have fixed problem but all lights on my dash turned on and now a 2 year old car needs complete new computer that they are saying is not under warranty. I have told them the past two visits my car is sticking on gear changes and now it is out of warranty, lifetime powertrain isn’t worth it. This car has been nothing but problems.
our palisades caligraphy… 2022 white was purchased late 2021. since then after 4000 mi there has nor been any issues. we were impressed with the 24.7 mph city/highway fwd , imay add, hilly area that we reside in. so far ..so impress.
Now that I’ve had my 2022 side days before Christmas I can say the vehicle has a poor interior design. It has the cup holder in the same area as the wireless changer. Not very smart. If anything spills it hits the wireless charging area, can hit the usb also goes down through the cracks to the under section and into wire housing. Not a good set up at all. Not enough room up front to safely put beverages. Paint is thin & vehicle was chipping from highway use within a week or two. For the amount this suv costs I would expect Hyundai to do a higher quality. Can’t get into service even with an upgraded warranty. They want the vehicle for 2 weeks for any diagnosis and will not give you a loaner. Their corporate office is no better. They’re going downhill quickly
I have a 2022 Hyundai palisade Sel and I keep getting a engine overheating warning everytime I drive over 55 mph. My reverse camera doesn’t show what’s behind me, it shows what’s in front of me. The sensors indicating a collision keep going off at random when nothing even comes near my car and it causes my brakes to lock up at random. It’s annoying as fuck and they can’t figure out what’s going on with my car
