Premature radiator failure that could lead to engine failure while driving. Common problem with Radiator at low milage. Cracks and looses coolant at lower drivers side
The radiator has a leak no warning lights went on but the back up reservoir was empty the car started to gurgle multiple times after driving the car for a long road trip we heard the bubbling sound checked under the hood and see pink radiator fluid on the underside of the car and pink corrosion on the radiator itself
In April 2022, we purchased a new 2022 Hyundai Palisade from a dealership due to persistent issues with our previous Hyundai Santa Fe, which had ongoing engine problems and recalls. After multiple unsuccessful repairs and software updates on the Santa Fe, we decided to trade it in for the Palisade.
The vehicle went into limp mode while traveling on the highway. Vehicle decelerated from 65mph to 30mph very quickly & without warning (no indicator lights came on). I was almost rear ended, since the car behind be had no idea I was decelerating due to no brake lights. It then slowly decelerated to 14mph as I was able to get off highway.
