2023-2024 Hyundai Palisade With ABS Braking Problem

Complaint

The lawsuit asserts that the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and/or Traction Control System in 2023–2025 Hyundai Palisades is defective. When the brakes are applied over bumpy or uneven roads, the system miscalculates wheel speed, causing rapid brake pulsing and failure to stop as expected. This issue has led to repeated complaints and near-miss collisions.

Key Allegations Include:

  • Increased Stopping Distance: Brakes fail to respond properly over uneven surfaces, requiring greater force and longer distances to stop.
  • System Malfunction: Palisade ABS and traction control systems apply and release brakes inappropriately, causing vibration and loss of control.
  • Ongoing Safety Risk: Drivers report near-collisions and difficulty braking under common road conditions.
  • Inadequate Repairs: Dealers often dismiss complaints as “normal behavior,” leaving the issue unresolved.
