Common Problem

Transmission and Engine Issues
Some users have noted concerns about engine quality and transmission issues. While one user reported no significant problems at 20k miles , another expressed disappointment in the engine's performance. Additionally, there are reports of oil consumption problems, with one owner needing frequent oil tests and potentially facing an engine replacement.
Electrical and Feature Malfunctions
Several owners have experienced electrical issues such as problems with wipers, lights, and infotainment systems like CarPlay. Some also find the auto-stop feature at traffic lights annoying and difficult to disable permanently.
Suspension Problems
A notable issue with the 2020 and 2021 models is the failure of the rear self-leveling shocks. This problem leads to a rough ride and excessive bouncing, which has been acknowledged by Hyundai through a service bulletin but not a formal recall. Owners report significant costs for repairs if not covered under warranty.
Catalytic Converter and O2 Sensor Failures
There have been cases where the check engine light indicates a P0420 code, suggesting issues with the catalytic converter or O2 sensors. In some instances, the catalytic converter was found to be damaged right after purchase, leading to long waits for parts due to backorders.
General Reliability and Service Experience
While many owners express satisfaction with their Palisades, citing minor nitpicks rather than major issues , others have had negative experiences with Hyundai's service centers, finding them unhelpful or slow to address problems. The variability in service quality suggests that finding a reliable dealership can significantly impact ownership experience.
