2022 Hyundai Palisade problems: recalls, complaints and whether this is a year to avoid

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade has 309 owner complaints on record with NHTSA, which ranks it 4 of 4 Hyundai Palisade model years by complaint volume. That is the lowest of any year in the run — the 2021 car has 440. 5 recall entries cover this year.

Is 2022 a good year for the Hyundai Palisade?

Complaint volume is fairly even across this nameplate, so the model year is a weaker signal here than it is on many cars. Read the components below rather than the totals.

Older years have been on the road longer and collect more complaints for that reason alone, and a year that sold in higher volume collects more while being no worse.

The 2022 accounts for 20% of every complaint filed against the Hyundai Palisade in this retrieval, which works out to 77.2 complaints per year on the road across the 4 years since it was sold new — the figure to compare against other years, because it removes the advantage a newer car gets simply from having had less time to accumulate reports.

Complaint volume is broadly flat against the 2021 (0.7×), so on this measure the two years are interchangeable and the choice between them comes down to condition and price rather than the model year.
