Service Brakes complaints
214 reportsWhile approaching a stop sign there was a crack in the road and as wife was applying brakes she hit the crack and vehicle started shaking and brakes would not stop vehicle. This has happened three times.
When braking over uneven surfaces or while the vehicle dynamics reduce the weight on the wheels, the ABS system activates and greatly increases the stopping distance.
ABS activates when going over small bumps while breaking to a complete stop.

Approaching main hwy very slowly to stop.

Yesterday [XXX] the car basically failed to stop when I braked and was nearly hit by the approaching vehicle. I immediately called the service dept of the dealer and taking it in for diagnostics. No warning lights ever popped on. So what happened is I was getting on to the road from the parking lot and started braking to wait for the approaching cars to pass but instead of stopping all I got was vibrations and shaking all while not stopping. The car got almost half body length out on the road making the approaching cars swerve and honk at me. The only way I managed to stop it was stomping on the brakes as hard as I could, which worked. But it freaked me out and sent my kid in tears cuz the stopping was so violent. I am aware of the ABS issue with these models and experienced it 5-6 times before but never it was a near collision situation and especially with the kid on board. I called the dealer right away and am taking the car in for diagnostics. I told them about the issue and history of similar events but all I heard back was “oh, sorry it happened, come in for a diag. We have never heard of it.” We all know by now about the faulty ABS system in Palisade and the class action was just filed against Hyundai last month. So I wonder what will it take for them to admit the problem and issue a remedy. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ABS system engages when it shouldn’t, causing stopping problems. Caused my wife to run out in middle of intersection and not get stopped in time. This seems to be a common problem with this vehicle and nobody knows how to fix it
When coming to low speed stops at stop signs over uneven/SLIGHTLY bumpy roads, brakes rumble uncontrollably and resist stopping, thrusting my car past stop signs into oncoming traffic. This has happened SEVERAL times, thankfully without accident, and is extremely scary. It MUST be addressed!
The Palisade has been intermittently acting up approaching a stop and the pedal pulsates and pedal travel is much longer, stopping distance is lengthened but when all of this is going on, not one light or warning is shown. No ABS light, TRAC light or Skid light is illuminated.
Over the last week my Palisade has kicked on the ABS brake feature which has resulted in the vehicle to not stop timely. This was on a flat, paved road and was no reason for this feature to kick on. It has nearly resulted in an accident. We have brought to dealer and reported the issue but seems to be a more wide spread issue th…

Over the last week my Palisade has kicked on the ABS brake feature which has resulted in the vehicle to not stop timely. This was on a flat, paved road and was no reason for this feature to kick on. It has nearly resulted in an accident. We have brought to dealer and reported the issue but seems to be a more wide spread issue than we thought after doing some research online.
