Korum Hyundai documented my 2026 Palisade Calligraphy as having a âFailing bumper support structureâ and noted a rear-bumper indentation on 3 of 4 vehicles inspected. Purchased 1/28/26, delivered 3/1/26. After road trips and the first wash following the 30-day ceramic-coating cure, the indentation was clearly evident. Multiple inspections found no evidence of impact or camera-recorded damage. The bumper was replaced through insurance and recoated. After another 30-day cure, the same indentation was again evident after the next wash and now appears better or worse depending on driving, weather and temperature. Korum referred me to Hyundai Motor America. After nearly 3 months of calls,…

FACT: Complete failure by selling dealer Jeff Wyler Hyundai Colerain to perform manufacturer-mandated Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) under R.C. 4517.53 prior to delivery on July 20, 2026. Consequently, high-voltage hybrid computer updates, safety modules, Hybrid Control Unit (HCU), Battery Management System (BMS), and AWD actuators were never verified for road readiness. Dealer also failed to lower tires from 47 PSI shipping pressure to 36 PSI operating pressure. Operating this vehicle with unconfigured hybrid modules and tires over-inflated to 47 PSI (found around 8/12) caused severe, structural drivetrain vibrations during the first 1,100 miles (9/3). RoadForce balancer identified one bad…

Sep 28, 2026Engine
The engine misfires and runs very rough when stopped in drive after highway driving, and the vehicle hesitates and struggles to accelerate from a stop. At about 3,000 miles, Phil Long, Colorado Springs diagnosed a failing cylinder 6 fuel injector and replaced it on 22 April 2025. The problem continues after that repair. The condition repeats in the same way. After 15 minutes to 1 hour of interstate driving, I exit the highway. When I stop at the first traffic light on the off ramp, the engine begins idling very rough, and the tachometer shows about 500 RPM. When I shift to park, the idle smooths out. When I shift back to drive, it becomes very rough again. Pulling away from the light is…

On September 21, 2026, at approximately 9:20 AM, while attempting to turn off the engine of the parked vehicle, the engine failed to shut down as commanded. Due to severe ECM misfire and erratic anti-stall compensation, the engine surged uncontrollably and propelled the vehicle forward. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) completely failed to detect the obstacle, alert the driver, or apply emergency braking, resulting in an unavoidable low-speed collision and slight front-end body damage. The following day, on September 22, 2026, at approximately 2:49 PM, the vehicle abruptly triggered a powertrain fail-safe mode in traffic, forcefully restricting speed to roughly 20 mph (limp-in…

The 1 year old vehicle experienced a serious transmission/drivetrain malfunction that ultimately made it unable to drive. On September 3, 2026, while I was on the road, the vehicle stopped operating properly and had to be towed to the Hyundai dealership. The vehicle and affected components remain available for inspection at the dealership. The failure created a safety risk because the vehicle became unreliable and inoperable while being used on public roads. A sudden loss of propulsion or inability to move normally could have placed me and other motorists at risk, especially in active traffic. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by the Hyundai dealership. After performing work, the…
