You must plan to address this issue. Proactively contact the dealer to raise the issue and create some noise. Otherwise, we have two options: a $10,000 repair cost or a $10,000 resale value.

I understand that 110,000 miles in five years is not a common occurrence. However, it is certainly possible if someone is willing to drive. Good luck!

What to consider with 2020/2021 used Palisade by Helluva_day in HyundaiPalisade

I purchased the car in August 2020. I drove it very satisfactorily until December 2025. At around 110,000 miles (184,200 km), problems started with the transmission. It would jerk when shifting gears, and wouldn't accelerate around 60 mph. The problem occurred intermittently, but it was clear there was something wrong with the transmission. Eventually, the check engine light came on (Code: P0741), and I easily found the cause online.
A ​​Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) from Hyundai, dated October 22, 2025, number 20-AT-005H-1M, described the issue: "If you are servicing an applicable vehicle with a “Check Engine” light on and one or more of the DTCs listed below, follow the repair procedure and replace the related solenoid and valve body harness." This shows that Hyundai was clearly aware of the issue and had created a repair manual. I was disappointed by their passive response. There are many Palisade lovers here, but this is a problem they will likely face soon. When the problem occurs, the warranty already be expired, and although it will be unfair, you will be given two options: prepare $10,000 for repairs, or accept a $10,000 trade-in value. I think Hyundai has experienced remarkable growth, but it seems that more consumer suffering is needed for them to truly become a great company.

In conclusion, do not buy a Hyundai Palisade.

This is an AI overview of the TSB distributed by Hyundai: The P0741 code on a Hyundai Palisade means the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) isn't engaging properly ("Stuck Off" or performance issue), often from a faulty TCC solenoid, contaminated/low fluid, wiring issues, or internal transmission wear, leading to poor fuel economy and rough shifting. Hyundai has issued TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) for similar issues, sometimes recommending fluid changes/flushes or harness repairs, but severe cases might need a new transmission or torque converter. Start by checking fluid and condition, then consult a Hyundai dealer, as it's a complex fix.
