2023 Hyundai Palisade Service and Repair Manual
Hyundai published one set of specifications for the 2023 Palisade, and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to exactly that — a torque value, clearance or test procedure you look up is the 2023 figure rather than something carried forward from an earlier Palisade.

Known issues on the 2023 Palisade. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the electronic controller for the Idle Stop & Go oil pump assembly: an electric oil pump assembly that overheats increases the risk of a vehicle fire. Another covers the windshield wiper motor, which may operate intermittently or fail to operate due to snow or ice buildup on the windshield, and wiper failure can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. A third covers the seat belt buckles in the driver, passenger, and second-row window seats, which may fail to latch and therefore may not properly restrain occupants in a crash. The fourth covers the brake booster, whose diaphragm may become misaligned and cause an internal vacuum leak, which can result in a loss of power brake assist that can extend the distance required to stop. Owners have filed 530 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 68 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are tracing a brake booster vacuum leak, inspecting a rear buckle assembly, or simply holding the 3.8L V6 to its service intervals, this manual keeps the work on Hyundai's own procedure for your specific 2023 Palisade.

While sitting at a stop sign, I attempted to place my vehicle in Park. I opened the driver’s side door, but the car had not actually shifted into Park. None of the vehicle’s safety systems engaged when the door was opened. The car rolled forward with me partially outside the vehicle, dragging me until it struck a tree. This incident reflects a critical failure in the vehicle’s electrical/safety systems: •The transmission did not engage Park when selected. •The door-open rollaway prevention syst

I was stopped at a stop sign with my foot firmly on the brake and vehicles engine starting revving. Next was stopped at my mailbox with the foot firmly on the brake and engine started revving again. Next, I was pulling into my garage and had just taken my foot off of the brake and engine revved again, this time propelling me into my garage wall. I have a video of the car pulling into the garage and you can hear the car accelerate.

I purchased my vehicle from South Point Hyundai in Austin, Texas on [XXX], 2022. Almost immediately after purchase, I began having trouble with the vehicle’s braking system. In essence, the vehicle seems to inappropriately activate its ABS while braking over uneven surfaces (think-parking lots, speed bumps) in dry conditions. I have dashcam videos of at least three examples of this happening (from Aug ‘22 through May ‘24). I took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs that included the braking i
The sunroof glass exploded while traveling on the highway. The glass panel was closed shut about a minute before the incident. Small and large glass fragments entered the passenger cabin while traveling at highway speed. One large fragment caused a small laceration to the drivers arm. Another fragment struck the vehicle traveling behind and caused minor damage. Other large and small fragments landed on 2nd row passengers. There was no evidence of a foreign object or road debris causing this inc
The seat belt for the driver seat spontaneously unbuckles while the car is in motion. After fastening the buckle, the buckle disengages while driving, with no warning or provocation. This has happened 3 times on the driver seat and once on the 2nd row captain chair. The dealership has offered to inspect and replace all the buckles. The car has 10k miles and is 8 months old.
I was at work and went to move my car in our parking garage. I hit a bump and my front tires started to shake along with my steering wheel, and my brakes wouldn't work.

I recently was hit on my rear passenger side and had repairs done to my vehicle. I had also experienced this shortly after I purchased the car and the dealership sup
