Major issues with no resolution to vibration when traveling 70mph

am having an issue with my 2026 Hyundai Palisade, as soon as I drive over 70MPH I have a horrific vibration/buzzing sound in the vehicle. I brought the vehicle into the Centereach service department and they stated they could not drive the vehicle legally at 70 MPH, they sent a service mechanic with me where I drove to the express way and demonstrated the issue and as soon as I hit 70MPH the tech heard/felt the vibration in the car. This vibration is not effecting the vehicles operation, I do not feel it in the steering wheel at all. The vibration can be felt/heard between 70 and 80 MPH. I had also researched online by simply googling " 2026 Hyundai palisade vibration over 70mph" and immediately I located a reedit post with dozens of people complaining about the same thing, and as far as I can tell from the posts, not one person was able to have it resolved (I have added links to the posts at the bottom). The service department rotated the tires and completed a forced road balance. I did not think this was going to work, as almost every post online said they tried this and it did not fix their vehicles either. I asked them what we can do if this does not work and they stated they may need to open a ticket with Hyundai Engineering and would need the vehicle to stay with the service department until it was resolved, I told them I would need a loaner vehicle as I need a vehicle for work. The service department stated they could not provide a loaner vehicle because this was not a "verified issued" since there tech could not drive the car. This does not make any sense, I drove the vehicle with the tech, he heard the issue immediately. I traveled the highway again today after the "forced balancing" was completed, and unfortunately it did not work, the vibration is still there and has not reduced or changed at all. I returned again to have the vehicle checked as the sound is still present with no change. The service manager stated they tighten some screws on a panel on the bottom of the car. Again this did not fix the issue. I truly love this vehicle and am very happy with it. I was going back and forth between trim models and choose to go for the top of the line trim, this is an expensive vehicle and is brand new, I would like to work with Hyundai to get this rectified, however I am extremely concerned by the posts I am seeing online about vehicle sitting at the dealer for 80 or 90 days while engineering works to fix the issue. I do not feel I should have to pay for a rental car while Hyundai attempts to diagnose the issue with their engineering team.

Tech rich vehicle

I love my vehicle but imo the following could be better. owner’s manual doesn’t fit in glovebox. sunroof only opens about 8”’s. 2nd & 3rd row seats are too slow. hatchback opens too slow. 2nd row doors should have keyless entry sensors. no footwell lighting. steering wheel stalks aren’t illuminated. key fob feals cheap and is too big.

Great safety features, great technology, great value

Safety features, fuel economy and ability to receive upgrades by software downloads makes the palisades calligraphy hybrid an exceptional vehicle, especially for the price.

Love my Palisades

One Muscatine I absolutely love my vehicle. But I was very disappointed the way they did the workaround for the seats controls from the dash and also from the side doors. I understand they had a lawsuit but doing the to totally remove controls from the dash is very disappointing. That was a selling feature when I ordered the car. I believe there could be another workaround so they can still use controls.

So far love it! Going from a car that got about 16 average mpg to now averaging over 30mpg is a huge savings

Hwy MPG not as Advertised

I was excited to buy the Palisade Hybrid, and the features are nice, but several parts of the ownership experience have been disappointing. First, there’s the power-seat safety fix. I understand there was an issue that needed to be addressed, but the seats now move slowly, and the second-row sliding seat is finicky to use. It’s actually faster to leave one third-row seat down and have my kids climb in and out through the trunk than to deal with the second-row entry. Next is fuel economy. The city MPG is great—exactly as advertised. Highway MPG is another story: at 70 mph, I’m getting 18 MPG at best. That’s the speed limit in some areas where I live; in areas where it’s 75 mph, I get about 17 MPG. I know hybrids do better in the city, but the highway results aren’t what the advertising led me to expect. I chose this car over a Traverse, and my mom tells me she gets 28 MPG on the expressway in her Traverse. Hearing that is disappointing, especially since my car was much more expensive. Finally, the remote’s proximity feature has completely stopped working. I had to use the buttons on the remote and put the key in the cup holder to start the car. The digital key in my Samsung Wallet won’t unlock it either. When I called the dealer, they said they would need to keep my car for at least 10 days to diagnose the issue, and they didn’t have a loaner available. So I’m left dealing with these problems in a $60,000 car because getting it diagnosed would mean being without it for at least 10 days, with no car to borrow. That’s not the ownership experience I expected.

Disappointing mileage

Averaging 25 miles per gallon after 5,000 miles, much less than advertised

Stylish, Great Range Just Not 100% Dialed in

I purchased the Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy brand new with less than 100 miles and immediately had to take it back to the dealership, and the car was there for 3 months due to backordered parts. Since I have taken the vehicle in a few times to get recals and repairs done. Currently I am waiting on parts to come in because the struts have failed on the front driver side. Would not recommend buying the 2026 model; however, maybe next year they get it right. Materials feel quality, and all the features and tech are what you would expect at this price point, but I would sacrifice some of the features to get a more reliable experience. Lastly, it's kind of a really tight fit if you have 3 or more little kids still in boost or carseats.
