Model years to avoid

Hyundai Palisade

What it says about you

Opinion

You wanted the Telluride and the dealer had this one. It is the same car. You have made peace with that, mostly.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

8 model years on record, 2,346 complaints filed. No year stood out against this model's own history — which means it has not drawn unusual complaints, not that it is a good car.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • stop 2024, 2025 peak 43.7% of that year's complaints
  • brakes 2024, 2025 peak 34.9% of that year's complaints
