Car begins to shake if brake is applied when diving over uneven terrain. Acts like ABS is applied but car does not slow as it should. No lights or indicators flash when this occurs. Fortunately was able to stop before rolling into intersection as I was already traveling at slow speed. Dealer has not been consulted on this problem but Reddit indicates dealer cannot/will not fix it.

Traveling in a slow lane of traffic. Brakes malfunctioned when I began to brake over broken/ not smooth road. Car began to shake hard and loud. Brakes locked but car was still rolling. I was unable to control the vehicle almost rear ending the car in front of us. I didn’t know what to do or how to stop us before we crashed. That’s When the car actually stopped everything went quiet and it seemed as if I got into an accident with myself. Because the car jerk hard and stopped abruptly. Called the dealership. To service the car. Told them what happened. Dealership said they cannot do anything about it. Told to express my complaint to NHTSA.

When driving at a slow speed on dry uneven pavement, such as repaired asphalt around potholes, and the breaks are applied, the abs system kicks on and launches the car forward, sometimes in a series of occurances, before the car will stop. We brought the car to the dealership service department. They found no error codes and could not duplicate the problem, although it has happened at least four separate times when we ourselves have driven the car. The last time it happened (which is the date listed in this report), we ended up in a crosswalk before the car came to a complete stop. We have also found comments online from others with the same issue in Hyundai Palisades.

One month into ownership of my 2024 Palisade Limited AWD, I was approaching a stop light going ~20 mph and started to apply the brakes as I passed over some slightly bumpy ground. The car lurched forward repeatedly as the brakes were applied, bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and taking twice as long to stop than it should have; I was one foot from rear-ending the car in front of me despite beginning to break with plenty of time to stop - this is so far from how an ABS system is supposed to work and I've never experienced it in another car. Hyundai corporate has told me that, upon testing other Palisades, they have discovered that this happens in ALL 2024 Palisades. This is troubling for several reasons: 1) The car exhibited an inability to effectively brake in a very common situation (braking when traveling at low speeds on slightly bumpy ground). Several people have noted this experience in Reddit posts; 2) I have been driving for 25 years; I’ve driven other cars with antilock brake systems and have never been in a wreck. This is unlike any experience I’ve ever had in a car and it’s very abnormal / incredibly dangerous; 3) When asked to recreate the issue at the dealership, the head mechanic rode with me and said, “The car shouldn’t do that,” when it occurred with him the car. It was clear that he found it to be very concerning behavior. Hyundai kept the car in the shop for 2 days shy of a month. At the beginning of the month, they apparently did not know that the 2024 Palisade behaved this way. Over the course of the month, they learned that this is how a Palisade behaves when driven over uneven ground at moderate to low speeds because they tried it with other cars they had on hand. This vehicle is prone to rear-end cars in front of it when stopping and also to bouncing out in the middle of an intersection when approaching a stoplight /stop sign. It will kill people of unaddressed. There are no messages / warning lights on in the car.

Hitting any bump/railroad track at even very slow speeds causes the breaks to not engage fully which has almost caused a crash on three different occasions. After researching this issue, it seems there was a similar issue that occurred with the 2023 Palisade.
