On August 27, 2026, my 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy displayed a "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" warning and was taken to the dealership.

"Stop vehicle and check power supply" warning lights accompanied and panic alarm goes off on new 2027 palisade hybrid calligraphy with 72 miles. The passenger rear brake grabs much more than the others which you can barely feel. Johnson Hyundia of Apex,NC, where we purchased the vehicle tell us not to bother bringing it to them because unless it has a fault code or constant message, they can't do anything. Hyundia corporate gave me a case number but acted like they never heard of it happening to anyone else. Reddit posts have at least 20 other cases of this same thing happening to new hybrid vehicles.
