NHTSA Complaint #11700321 — 2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE

THE 2021HYUNDAI PALISADE AT A FOUR WAY LIGHT STOP BUSY INTERSECTION. UPON GIVING HAS AND MAKING THE LEFT TURN FROM CIMMIRON UNTO SARATOGA BLVD THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE LIKE IF VEHICLE IN 4WD BUT THE VEHICLE IS AN AWD AND IT LOSS LIKE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ALMOST REAR ENDED AND HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THE LIGHT BEGUN TO CHANGE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI AND FOUND OUT ONLINE AND AT THE DEALER THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH AWD PALISADES. THERE IS EVEN A TSB BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, THE 4WD COUPLING STARTS GOING BAD AND MAKES VEHICLE NOISES AND LOSE POWER IN DRIVETRAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ACTION MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE LAWSUITS COMING FLYING. FOR CRYING OUTLOUD I HAD MY GRAND BABIES WITH ME AND ALMOST GOT INTO A THREE-WAY CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE PALISADE DECIDED NOT TO GO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIX ALL FAULTY AWD COUPLINGS THAT MAKE THE TIRES TURN PROPERLY. MY FRIEND HAS A 23 MODEL AND HAVING SAME ISSUES IT IS ALSO AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE PALISADE. DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS HYUNDAI IS AWARE AND THERE IS A FORUM ON THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALL THIS IS INSANE.
