The driver seatbelt has come unlatched while driving on 3 occasions over the past month, which is how long I have owned the vehicle. I will be driving normally and the seatbelt just pops open. No pressure is being applied to the belt or the buckle at the time it pops open.

NHTSA owner reports · September 18, 2026 snapshot.
What owners actually said
385 reportsWhen driving at slow rate of speed, the "Check Forward Safety System" and "Check Side Safety System' lights will come on spontaneously and will turn off after a few moments and/or if I shut the vehicle off and turn it back on. This happened another time when I was parked in the vehicle where the lights came on spontaneously.
While driving and approaching a stop, the vehicle would not stop when gradually pressing on the brake. The only way to stop the vehicle was to SLAM on the brake. When I would brake entering a parking lot, the vehicle would continue and would not slow down as I applied pressure on the brake until I slammed the brake.
While braking at lower speed over non smooth road, my brakes jam up and I can not brake. My car drifted right into an intersection and grateful no cars were coming. Has happened multiple times.
ABS activating for no reason while braking in perfect driving conditions and not allowing the vehicle to come to a stop as needed.

ABS activating for no reason while braking in perfect driving conditions and not allowing the vehicle to come to a stop as needed. The first incident caused me to slide through a stop sign narrowly avoiding other traffic, and the second incident almost caused me to rear end the vehicle in front on me. This is apparently a known issue with Hyundai and needs to be addressed ASAP!

Dealership made several repairs at no cost to me that minimized the issue but issue still present. Car is leased. There were NO weights on rear tires, weights had to be installed. Brakes feel as if being pushed upward when driving over rough road surface. Gas pedal vibrating when driving over rough surface. And feels as if bottom of vehicle or something under is dragging. Please help - I have 3 children one of whom is in wheelchair. Safety is a priority. Thank you.

I was leaving my neighborhood approaching a stop sign going 15-20 mph and started to apply the brakes. It was a little bumpy and maybe very light gravel. (Clear weather, dry road) The car suddenly and unusually applied the brakes repeatedly (I felt it through the pedal). It actually took the car longer to stop than normally it would have (I drive this route every day). It defintely was unusual, caught me off guard, and could have been worse as I ultimately stopped much closer than normal to a 45 mile an hour 2 lane road. My husband was with me in the car, and he mentioned he recalled a similar experience several months ago.

Hyundai Service for Malfunction 8-10-24 Took New 2024 Palisade to Hallmark Hyundai Service Dept. for issue with handling On 4 different occasions while driving out of a parking garage at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville TN, going approximately 5 MPH or so, the front wheels started moving back and forth very violently. Steering wheel shaking with violent wheel movement. I held the steering wheel Firmly and slammed the brakes. Shaking stopped. This happened on 3 different occasions. The forth occasion happened while pulling into a parking area at Centennial Park, Nashville TN. I hit a small pot hole and the same activity occurred while driving 10-15MPH. I held the steering wheel Firmly and Firmly applied the brakes to make it stop the shaking. Reported the incident to Hallmark Hyundai on 8-7-24. Nicole set me an appointment for 8-10-24 at 8am for immediate inspection and to make sure everything was still “tight”. After meeting with the technician, her immediate comment was that this is called a “Death Wobble”. They ran a full diagnostic and found no codes. They want me to bring the vehicle back and keep it and perform tests and more inspection for this may be the first report of such dangerous activity. They think it could be the driving assist system, abs, suspension issues, etc.??? The technician stated that the “Death Wobble” happened to her once while traveling at a speed of 60MPH. I asked if this could happen at any traveling speed, the answer was YES!!!!
When braking lightly between 10-20MPH, the ABS will activate if I hit a small bump or pothole. Something as simple as pulling into my driveway will cause the ABS to activate. On one occasion, I was driving through a gas station parking lot, lightly pressed on the brakes to slow down over a rough patch of concrete and the ABS cam…

When braking lightly between 10-20MPH, the ABS will activate if I hit a small bump or pothole. Something as simple as pulling into my driveway will cause the ABS to activate. On one occasion, I was driving through a gas station parking lot, lightly pressed on the brakes to slow down over a rough patch of concrete and the ABS came on. The car behaved as though I was braking on ice. This is incredibly dangerous and Hyundai has been unable to diagnose the issue and unwilling to present any viable options.

There are many reports of this issue online. Yesterday I was involved in an accident because of this and that I god I didn't hit a person only a car and no one was…
