Overview

2024 Hyundai Palisade

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade offers three-row SUV utility with a standard V6 engine and all-wheel drive. However, used-car shoppers should approach this model with caution. Its reliability record is marred by a high volume of complaints, particularly concerning the service brakes and automatic emergency braking systems, which have shown erratic behavior on uneven surfaces. This, combined with numerous recalls, suggests potential manufacturing or calibration issues that could lead to costly repairs and impact daily usability. While comfortable and spacious, these underlying concerns demand a rigorous pre-purchase inspection.

Critical Failure Risk

The most frequently reported issue involves the service brakes, specifically erratic ABS activation on uneven surfaces. This can lead to a loss of braking effectiveness, shuddering, and reduced control. This is a critical safety concern.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
