At a glance
- Next to the 2022 and 2024
- Each model year from the 2022 to the 2024 draws more complaints for its age than the one before it: 61 a year, then 100 for the 2023, then 129.
- Top problem
- Two problems run close. Brake wear has 82 complaints and seat belt has 82, out of 400 in all. A quarter of the 9 owners who gave a mileage for brake wear saw it by about 18,000 miles, and half by about 20,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- Only 7 of the 400 complaints (2%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, well under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 6 reports mention a crash and 2 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 3 of 6, fall under brake wear.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Each of brake wear, seat belt and windshield has a recall on the same system: brake wear, 23V-415; seat belt, 25V-607; windshield, 23V-180. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2024 at 102 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 91. So far in 2026, 82 more have come in.

How this compares
400 complaints is 2.6 times the median 2023 model on this site and 2.4 times the median 2023 SUV. Among the 7 Palisade model years here it ranks 3rd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
