2025 Hyundai Palisade

The driver seatbelt latch component failed. Unable to fasten the seat belt. This is a huge safety issue. It puts the driver and all passengers at risk. I received the recall in January due to having seatbelt latch issues on the second row. My kids safety was put at risk on the seatbelt latch not working properly on second row. I took my vehicle to dealership and it took couple of weeks for dealership to receive the part to due backorder. This is the SECOND time that the driver seatbelt latch needs to be replaced within just a month and half. Huge safety issue. No warning icon for seatbelt latch failure. The software is also another recall that keeps need to be updating.

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the rear passenger's side seat belt assembly failed to latch on the initial attempt and required a second attempt to forcefully secure the seat belt buckle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was inspected. The dealer informed the contact that the recall repair could not be performed because the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.

On December 15, 2025 I brought my vehicle in to McDonald Hyundai in Highlands Ranch, CO for a recall and was told the seatbelt parts would need to be ordered for Hyundai recall 283. I was told the seatbelt recall parts would take 2 weeks to arrive. January 15 I was notified by the dealership that the parts were in stock and ready to schedule. However, when I attempted to schedule the service, I was told the parts for my vehicle had been given to another customer. I was also told all seatbelt parts are now backordered with “no ETA” and that I must personally call every two weeks to check on the inventory status of recall parts in the service department at McDonald Hyundai. I asked the service advisor (Bo) for the service manager’s contact information on 3 different occasions and he refused to provide the service manager’s contact information every single time. I am still driving with my children daily under an active seatbelt recall more than 6 weeks after I was told my recall parts were ready to install.

The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I am reporting Hyundai Motor America’s failure to remedy two active safety recalls on my 2025 Hyundai Palisade (VIN: [XXX] ) within a reasonable timeframe, despite multiple attempts to have the vehicle repaired. My vehicle has two open safety recalls involving critical occupant protection systems, including seat belt buckle assemblies that may fail to latch properly and a third-row occupant safety defect that increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash or rollover. On October 23, 2025, I brought my vehicle to the Hyundai dealership specifically to have the recall defects repaired. At the time of drop-off, I clearly informed the dealership that the purpose of the visit was for recall repairs. However, the dealership labeled the visit as a “maintenance appointment” instead of properly documenting it as a recall repair visit. The recall defects were not repaired. I returned to the Hyundai dealership again on February 18, 2026, after being promised that the recall repairs would be completed. Once again, Hyundai failed to repair the safety defects, and the recalls remain unresolved. It is now February 20, 2026, more than four months since I first presented the vehicle for recall repair, and Hyundai has failed to remedy these critical safety defects or provide a clear timeline for repair. These defects involve essential safety systems, including seat belts and third-row occupant protection. I have four children who regularly occupy the rear seating areas, and I am deeply concerned about their safety. Hyundai’s failure to repair these safety recalls has placed my family at risk. Because Hyundai has failed to repair the vehicle within a reasonable timeframe, I am requesting NHTSA investigation and assistance. I am also requesting that Hyundai provide trade assistance, replacement, or buyback so that I can obtain a safe vehicle for my family, at no cost to me, due to Hyundai’s inability to remedy these safety defects.

I am writing to formally report Hyundai’s failure to remedy Safety Recall 25V607 involving defective first and second-row seatbelts in our 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The recall was issued in September 2025 and stated no remedy was yet available but the vehicle remained safe if belts were checked after fastening. In December 2025, the front passenger seatbelt in our vehicle began unlatching while driving at highway speeds, even after confirming proper engagement as instructed by Hyundai. We have repeatedly contacted Hyundai of 110 (Farmingdale, NY) regarding remedy availability. A remedy became available in early December, and we were put on the dealership's list to order parts from Hyundai directly on December 30, but the parts still continue to be on backorder. We have minor children who must now rely on seatbelt-based car seat installation due to weight limits on LATCH. This is our only vehicle and it is virtually unusable at this point because I cannot in good conscience put my child in a car seat secured by a defective seatbelt. Given the documented malfunction of the seatbelt system, we are extremely concerned about the continued safety of this vehicle. Hyundai has not offered: - A loaner vehicle - A repurchase - A timeline for remedy We respectfully request investigation into Hyundai’s delay in remedying this federally mandated safety recall.

Vechile bought new less than 6 months ago. Seat belt of passenger side does not function properly. Federally seat belts required to operate vehicle. I have small children to buckle into this seat. Safety concern since death could happen. Attempted to have dealer fix 3 times within the month and unable. Stop sale has been issued now on this vehicle. Completely unsafe.

the abs system doesn't work properly on uneven, low speed roads. the brakes will not stop i have almost wrecked on multiple occasions. the seat belt located in the middle row, the middle seat belt gets stuck in the plastic causing the belt to stay loose. the vehicle also will shut its self down into "accessory" mode and put me into park not allowing me to move from traffic. it will either "reboot" or power off fully if i hit the ignition, i never know which it will do until it does it. it will sputter as if it is trying not to die if i am setting in a line or parked with the car on.
