The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of 2022 Hyundai Palisades consistently report radiator leaks causing coolant odor, visible seepage, and engine overheating warnings. Hyundai acknowledged the issue in Technical Service Bulletin #23-EM-003H (August 2023) for model years 2020–2022, yet no recall has been issued. Radiator failures include cracked units and pinholes; repairs require part replacement, and loose hoses need retightening across multiple service visits. Winter leaks are recurring.
Oil consumption is a widespread complaint. Owners report the engine consuming oil at 0.5 quarts per 1,000 miles—below Hyundai's 1-quart-per-1,000-mile warranty threshold—and leaking from the filter housing and cracked oil pans. Critical: there are no dashboard warnings for low oil, so drivers only discover the problem when the engine shakes or stalls due to oil starvation. This has occurred at highway speeds and intersections, creating collision hazards.
Transmission failures appear early. One owner's transmission was replaced twice by 27,000 miles after sudden loss of motive power; another reported blockage during gear shifts at 10,000 miles, rendering the vehicle undrivable. Dealers acknowledge multiple identical complaints but cite parts shortages and 3-month repair delays.
Stalling at stop lights occurs with both the Idle Stop & Go system on and off. Dealers apply ECU and TCU software updates as a patch, but owners report the stalling recurs. Some owners also report sudden, complete loss of power without warning lights, forcing towing.

Failure modes owners describe
Radiator and Coolant System Leak
Radiator develops leaks—cracked radiators, pinholes, or loose hose connections—causing coolant loss and engine overheating. Hyundai issued TSB #23-EM-003H (August 3, 2023) acknowledging slight coolant leaks in 2020–2022 Palisades, but no recall has been issued despite owner reports of pattern failures.
When: Various mileage; one owner reported issue in November 2024; another during routine operation
Symptoms owners cite: Engine overheating warnings; Coolant odors inside and outside vehicle; Visible coolant leakage; Radiator hoses loose or cracked; Leaks recur seasonally (winter noted)
Repairs/costs cited: Radiator replacement, hose retightening, upper radiator hose replacement; parts availability delayed and service visits multiple
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: TSB #23-EM-003H issued August 3, 2023; no recall; slow parts availability and service response
Excessive Oil Consumption and Oil Leaks
Engine consumes oil faster than normal and leaks oil from the oil filter housing and cracked oil pan. Oil consumption rate of 0.5 quarts per 1,000 miles falls below Hyundai's warranty threshold (1 quart per 1,000 miles), leaving owners without warranty coverage despite the problem creating a safety risk.
When: Incidents reported June 2025 and March 2026; oil consumption test performed after multiple service visits
Symptoms owners cite: Oil leaking from oil filter housing; Cracked oil pan; Severe low oil causing engine shaking while braking; Vehicle stalling due to low oil; Oil loss between scheduled oil changes; No dashboard warning lights for low oil condition
Repairs/costs cited: Oil change, oil plug replacement, oil filter replacement, oil filter housing replacement; oil consumption test showed 0.5 quarts per 1,000 miles; Hyundai deemed repair unwarranted under warranty
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Oil consumption does not meet warranty threshold; deemed non-warrantable by Hyundai
Transmission Failure and Shifting Problems
Transmission loses power or develops blockage during gear shifts, causing jerky transitions and complete loss of motive power. Two owners required transmission replacement; one owner had transmission replaced twice. Issue occurs at low mileage (27,000 reported) with no warning lights to alert driver.
When: Reported at 27,000 miles; one owner experienced blockage at 10,000 miles on newer model
Symptoms owners cite: Sudden loss of motive power while driving at normal speeds; RPM increase without power response; Blockage during gear shifting making vehicle non-drivable; Vehicle loses power intermittently then recovers; Failure recurs even after transmission replacement
Repairs/costs cited: Transmission replacement attempted twice for one owner; parts shortage reported; 3-month repair wait times noted; dealer acknowledged multiple similar complaints
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Manufacturer case opened after second failure; parts shortage and availability issues
Intermittent Loss of Engine Power
Engine loses power intermittently during acceleration and normal driving speeds without triggering warning lights or diagnostic codes. Makes safe merging and speed maintenance impossible, creating collision risk in traffic. Issue persists despite prior service visits.
When: Occurs intermittently during normal driving; multiple occurrences reported
Symptoms owners cite: Intermittent loss of engine power at normal driving speeds; Power loss during acceleration; Engine hesitation and failure to respond to throttle input; No warning lights or diagnostic codes stored; Vehicle safely recovers after brief power loss; Unsafe for merging or maintaining highway speeds
Repairs/costs cited: Prior service visits unsuccessful at permanent resolution; intermittent nature makes diagnosis difficult
Engine Stalling While Coming to a Stop
Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while braking or coming to a stop, with dashboard lights illuminating and gear sometimes shifting into neutral. Occurs both when Idle Stop & Go (ISG) system is enabled and disabled. Multiple 2020–2022 Palisade owners report the same issue; dealers have applied ECU and/or TCU software updates as a patch without formal recall.
When: Occurs during normal driving and braking; frequency increasing
Symptoms owners cite: Unexpected stalling while coming to a stop; Dashboard lights illuminate as if restarting; Gear shifts into neutral during stall; Manual restart required to resume driving; Occurs with ISG enabled and disabled; Frequency increasing over time; Dangerous at intersections and in heavy traffic
Repairs/costs cited: ECU and/or TCU software updates applied at dealer level as workaround
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Software updates applied at dealer level; no official recall issued; no permanent fix acknowledged
Sudden Complete Power Loss While Driving
Vehicle suddenly loses all power and becomes unable to restart, requiring towing. Multiple warning icons appear on dashboard simultaneously. Occurs without warning at normal driving speeds, creating immediate safety hazard.
When: Sudden occurrence during normal driving
Symptoms owners cite: Sudden loss of all power while driving; Multiple dashboard warning lights appear; Vehicle immediately slows and becomes unsafe to operate; Vehicle will not restart after power loss; Requires towing
Repairs/costs cited: Vehicle required towing; repair details not provided in narrative
Faulty Sensors and Key Fob Malfunctions
Proximity and safety sensors activate false alerts without nearby objects. Key fob system generates false "key not in vehicle" warnings despite key being present, causing distraction and potential safety disruption.
When: Occurs during normal operation
Symptoms owners cite: Sensors frequently activate without nearby objects or obstacles; False safety alerts during driving; "Key not in vehicle" warning despite key present in cabin; Warnings distract driver and undermine safety feature effectiveness
