2025 Hyundai Palisade

Yesterday while driving over train tracks and braking for a red light in the distance, my brakes pulsed as if I were on ice and my car could not stop. The road conditions were dry, with the temperature outside around 75 degrees. I was driving 20mph max and nearly hit the car in front of us as my brakes would not engage. My daughter and I were both terrified. My car has around 13K miles on it. Since purchasing the car last October I frequently feel the ABS pulse while driving over bumps and braking at the same time. I do believe this could be replicated. I thought it was just a quirk of the car or a computer glitch that occurs when braking on rougher terrain. But yesterday while braking I was unable to stop, nearly causing a collision. Luckily the car ahead moved forward so we avoided a crash. There were no warning lamps or messages. I'm very scared to drive this car now. Please help.

I experienced a partial brake failure as I was attempting to leave a shopping center parking lot. The traffic light was red and there were no cars in front of me. I was traveling at approximately 10-15 mph. As I approached the light, I applied the brakes. The car started to shutter and the car kept moving forward. It’s as if the brakes were being applied off and on rapidly. The car kept moving forward. That’s when I applied a lot of pressure on the brake pedal to try and get the car to stop. It eventually stopped but by then, my vehicle was partly into the intersection. Had another vehicle been in front of me, my vehicle would certainly have made contact. There were no warning lights or other indications that the vehicle was having issues. The vehicle is brand new and has less than 800 miles on the odometer. The road surface was rather smooth; however, vehicles exiting the parking lot must drive over a drain grate. The braking issue happened as I drove over the grate. The grate is slightly lower than the paved road. Please see pictures. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership for evaluation. An internet search shows that other owners have experienced the same issue on 2023-2025 Palisades models.

When going over a bump/rough pavement at a slow speed and applying the brakes, there is a loud grinding noise and vibration on the brake pedal. The vehicle does not brake as fast as normal. This leads to extended braking distance. This has happened three times to us and haven’t been able to recreate. We are taking it in to the dealership to be evaluated.

The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is severely malfunctioning. When driving on stone roads, gravel, or uneven terrain, the brakes either fail to engage properly, over-react, or cause sudden grinding and shaking. This results in an unpredictable stopping distance. The issue creates an immediate risk of collision, particularly when braking on gravel, uneven surfaces, or potentially snow and ice. The vehicle sometimes requires a much longer stopping distance than expected, and at other times it locks up or nearly stops abruptly. This unpredictable braking response could cause rear-end accidents or loss of control. The issue has been reproduced multiple times during my daily commute on stone roads to my job. I have informed the dealer of the problem, though a complete confirmation or resolution has not yet been provided. The dealer has been made aware of the issue, but to my knowledge, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative - only by the dealership themselves. No warning lamps or dashboard messages appear before or during the problem. The symptoms first became noticeable shortly after purchasing the vehicle in July 2025, and they continue to occur regularly whenever the vehicle is driven on stone or uneven terrain. The vehicle was just purchased July 19, 2025 and is currently in the shop at the dealership right now where they are telling me they cannot find an issue.

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving 10-15 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle continued to roll. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard, and the vehicle rolled into the intersection on several occasions. There was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the brakes. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was driven seven miles, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer suggested that the mechanic take the vehicle home for the weekend to attempt to duplicate the failure. The contact declined the offer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

This vehicle on multiple occasions per week will have what my husband can only describe as the ABS incorrectly kick on. It happens in our driveway, rocky parking lots or streets that aren’t even. The vehicle shakes uncontrollably and the brakes can not be pressed when it happens. In the worst situation we ended up over a curb, luckily the curb seemed to help stop us before potentially hitting a post office. No lights come up on the dashboard and it isn’t easy to replicate as it happens randomly - usually at lower speeds - when coming into a stop. Our safety is put at risk every time we drive, not knowing if the issue will happen; and not being able to brake or remedy the issue. This is not a one time incident - this happens multiple times a week.
