2025 Hyundai Palisade

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.

ABS braking issue at low speeds on uneven roads. I was coming out of an alley, with fences on both sides. NOT driving fast. It's an alley. At the end of the alley they had one of those speed bump plastic things, not a speed bump, but something to protect COAX/cable being temporarily run. The alley goes to a T and the top of the T is a county road/2 way traffic that is like 60 MPH. Coming to the stop the front felt like it tripped over the bump, then the brake pedal did basically nothing. The ABS was like stuck on and no pumping or standing on the brake helped. I went out into the road and hoped the cross traffic had time to stop.

This car was just purchased brand new in April 2025. The ABS system is randomly malfunctioning. It causes my braking distance to change and I am concerned with the braking of my vehicle. The ABS system engages like I am slipping on ice or snow. It has happened 4 times on dry pavement during the summer. The dealer is unable to duplicate the issue and therefore cannot do any repairs to fix the issue.
