"Shocks leaked and had to be replaced"
Anonymous A., VA (2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL 3.8-L V6)"It became noticeable after a typical pothole. It was very loud. Repair parts were not stocked and caused a delay in repair. The dealership repaired it and it was covered by the extended warranty."

"At 102k miles i found out their was a leak in my CV axle. It cost $500 to repair at a local shop with after market parts. It would've cost 1000 at the dealership"
Anonymous, CT (2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL 3.8-L V6)"a/c stopped working and engine light came on. Dealer said they could not determine what was wrong but thought it was probably that the water pump needed replacing to the tune of $2000. They said that if it wasn't that, they would have to investigate further. (It was a gamble, paid for by us.) I looked online to see if there were any other owners with similar problems. I found an obscure post by a mechanic that told someone to try changing a specific fuse under the hood. I tried that and it not only fixed the problem, but saved us a pile of money."
Anonymous A., ON (2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL 3.8-L V6)"They call it the rear hub assembly but it manifests its issues in the front. Its been replaced twice so its on its third part. Hyundai says this version is better and with more updated computer programming Its funny they issued a warranty extension for the seat belts but Im on my third hub assembly without an extension."

"We asked the dealer to check the transmission as it seemed to be shifting harder. They did. Software reset. We came back and they said nothing was wrong. We went to another dealer and they saw a problem and replaced the transmission. It also fixed a problem where the car would no longer turn off at a stop. The first dealer said it was because the battery was at only 80%. Now working with the new transmission."

""The engine seems to be consuming oil. Engine started running very rough. No warning lights on. Found that the oil level was very low, almost non-existent on the dipstick. Had to add nearly 6 quarts or oil. No OBD codes, either. Seems to be consuming the oil slowly. I have to add every few weeks. Never see oil on the ground. Dealer has been no help so far except "drive for a while and bring it in; don't add oil". I'm not willing to take that risk, so I keep adding oil. Takes too long to get an appointment, and then they seem to try to get out of paying for repairs under warranty. My issue with the A/C compressor was ultimately resolved, but they tried their best to get out of that one, too. For these reasons, I don't plan on buying Hyundai in the future.""
