My 2020 Palisade has about 98,000 miles. A few months ago I brought it to the dealership because I thought my transmission was faulty. It turns out my car had burned up all but 1 qt of oil and it was affecting my engine, eventhough I changed my oil at 7,000 miles per the Hyundai manual (7500-10,000). I recently took the car in for an oil consumption test. I did an oil change, at my expense, and they set up the car for the test. I came back in 1000 miles and since my car had only burned up 3/4 of oil and not a full qt, Hyundai refused to do anything. I have driven 467 miles since that test and my dipstick shows an oil line 3/4 of the way to the bottom line already. I have a 100,000 powertrain warranty and a 120,000 bumper to bumper extended warranty and the only suggestion from Hyundai is to do an engine take apart at my expense ($1,000) or an engine clean at my expense ($700). Both of these options are unacceptable. So for now I am just going to be putting oil into my car every 500-1000 miles and hope it doesn't get worse. I worry about being on the freeway with my children and my engine seizing. This has happened to many people on palisade forums and other Hyundai card with their EDI engine. This is not only a terrible inconvenience that I should not be experiencing on my 4 year old car but also a huge safety issue. Please do something to make Hyundai make this right. This is their flagship car and not inexpensive.

My 2020 Hyundai Palisade has been a lemon from the beginning with numerous issues including a whistling sound when driving, a recalled trailer hitch known to cause fires, paint issues, rim paint issues etc… But the worst offender is the oil consumption issues. A few months ago I thought something was wrong with my transmission so I took my car to the dealership. I also had an oil change scheduled-which I get on time every time. It turns out that, in 7,000 miles (Hyundai recommends 7,500-10,000 miles between oil changes in their manual) I was down 5 quarts of oil-there were no leaks, my engine was using up the oil. My car only holds 6.9 quarts so I was almost out of oil which was causing driving issues including lack of power when starting up at lights, surging and bucking when stopping etc. The dealer refilled my car and told me to come back in 1000 miles. If my car used up more than 1qt of oil they would submit the problem to Hyundai. When I came back in 1000 miles I hadn’t lost much oil so I was sent on my way. In the next 1200 miles I was watching my oil levels closely. I took it into the dealership when it looked low and they put in 3/4qt of oil. In the next 1100 miles I took it in and they added almost 1qt of oil. Now I am starting the oil consumption process again. But honestly the requirement of being down 1 full qt in 1000miles in crazy. I would have to top off my car every 1000 miles just to be safe. And if I let it go for 2,000 or 3,000 miles my engine could seize on the freeway with my family in the car causing a terrible accident. Once I am down the 1qt/1000 miles Hyundai does an engine clean out. According to my dealership that may or may not work. Then I have to come in after 1000 more miles to check oil consumption. If the clean out didn’t work I am finally allowed to get an engine replacement. I have 2 warranties on this car and nothing applies until I get to 1qt/1000miles. This is unsafe, time consuming and a known EDI engine issue

I had just pulled into a (handicapped) parking space at my bank in Marana Az. as I prepared to stop with the brake still depressed, the car suddenly surged, with the tach going to 5000rpm. The vehicle jumped the sidewalk (with rear wheels making drag marks on the sidewalk. Vehicle shot up the slight rise , hit and demolished a concrete bench and some plants and was heading toward the main entrance when I shut the engine off with the ignition key. The car stopped less than 10 feet from the bank entrance. the car came close to going through the entrance shattering the glass doors and possibly injuring bank customers and employees. There was no warning, but this car has had 3 or 4 sudden engine surges before - about one every 1 1/2 years. Hyundai service has checked and denied any problems. On line queries indicate the surging problems are not uncommon. They happen without warning and result in serious injury and damage to people and property. Hyundai is stonewalling. Other drivers have similar events occur for sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) and suggest problems with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) including throttle position sensors. Our Palisade has less than 40,000 miles on it and has been well maintained, but Hyundai people refuse to acknowledge any problems - my wife and I consider that this car is a potential death machine.

The car is approximately 3.5 years old (2020) and the engine failed. The symptoms of the engine failure are the exact failures of all of the other Hyundai engines that failed over the last 10 years which were recalled. There needs to be further investigation in all of the engines Hyundai is putting out to protect people. Hyundai offered to pay 50% of this because they know they are wrong, but they need to pay 100% of customer issues.
