When I am stopped at a traffic light (or even when traffic comes to a stop on the interstate highway in traffic), when I begin to drive again, all of a sudden the automatic braking system engages and slams on the brakes when there is nothing in front of me that I could collide with (because the car in front of me has driven forward and out of the way). Each time it happens I am terrified the person behind me is going to rear end me because I have started to drive already and the car suddenly and inexplicably slams the brakes on hard. I can’t find a rhyme or reason to when this occurs - I can go weeks without it happening and then suddenly it will happen once or twice and then weeks again without it happening - making it tough to recreate.

I was going about 20mph or less on a bumpy side road in the city and couldn’t stop at a stop light and almost hit the car in front of me. The brakes just did nothing when I mashed down and finally kicked in and I stopped before crashing into the Honda in front of me. I just reported it to Hyundai and online says there’s a class …

I just reported it to Hyundai and online says there’s a class action lawsuit for this exact reason.

Our car shuttered quite strongly on two occasions, while going at a low speed (around 5 miles per hour) and applying the brakes over a rough surface (pavers and a speed bump). We advised Larry H Miller Hyundai Peoria Service Department of this when we took the vehicle in for our complimentary maintenance on 12/03/24. They advised there was a TSB with this as a known issue and they found "7949 Front Brake Rotors Warp 51712A00 1.10 verify and found front brake rotors out of round perform front brake rotor machining and test drove car and verify working operation." They also advised their protocol was that the manufacturer would not replace them until the rotors were shaved 2 or 3 times (we have now had them shaved once on 12/03/24).

I was going over a speedbump in a parking lot, following traffic. When my front wheels went over the bump, my Palisade started shaking uncontrollably, I had ZERO brake power and just missed hitting the car in front of me that started to pull away! I reached out to the dealer who stated that this is 'normal' to happen from time to time. This happened in October, 2024. I went to an online forum for a Palisade group on FB and asked and could not believe how many people this has happened to!! The general content was they were all told it was normal too, which we simply do not believe. Then it just happened today!! In my own driveway, gravel. I almost ran straight into the garage door going under 5 MPH, but again, very scary! I carry around my four grandchildren alot and the thought of this happening and them being hurt has caused me to reach out to NHTSA. PLEASE HELP UP GET HYUNDAI TO FIX THIS!!!

I was leaving a parking lot and getting ready to turn onto a busy road with my family. As I approached the road and started to brake, we went over a number of pot holes. When that happened, the whole car started to shake and I noticed that we were not slowing down. I don't know what was going on but I was scared. We were approaching a busy road quickly and I did not feel safe. I pressed HARD down on the brakes and eventually we came to a HARD stop. I told my wife what happened and she said that similar things have happened to her when she was braking and she had to swerve off of the road to avoid hitting the car in front of her. There is definately something going on with the ABS system. Going over the bumps through off the entire system and would't let me brake. I have not taken it to a dealer and it has never been inspected by anyone. Prior to the issue, there were no warning signs that came up prior to the issue, or afterwards.

This has occured multiple times. In each event, I was driving over 30mph, and had to brake hard (pushing on the brake pedal to an effort to slow down rapidly). The car's brakes locked up ...the abs engaged and braking was good, but it did not release as i let my foot of the brake, causing my car to come to a near complete stop. The car behind me, nearly rear ended me. As noted above, the vehicle's brakes do not release, after a hard brake, when you pull pressue OFF of the brake pedal.
