Seat belt on other Palisade years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them.
What this problem usually is
This group covers the belt and the seat it's bolted to: buckles that won't latch or won't let go, belts that lock up and won't pull out, and seats that shift or rock in their tracks. It's a wide bucket, with over 9,000 complaints across the vehicles on this site, and a quarter of them mention a recall.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the buckle (9 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the seats cover the 2026 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The internal wiring within the third-row driver-side seat belt buckle may become damaged and result in a permanent display of a belted third-row driver-side seat on the instrument panel.
The second and third row power seats may fail to detect a person. The seat may continue to move after contacting a person during powered seat functions, such as one-touch tilt-and-slide or automatic power fold-and-stow.

When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote
“There was a recall for my 3rd row seat, my car sat at the dealer for 6 months due to it. They tell me they fixed the recall after 6 months I receive my car and my seats are not functioning. I believe the safety of my kids are at risk due to this. They have yet to take the vehicle back to fix the problem and it has been over 2 months now.”

“My 9 year old daughter was sitting in middle row, as her sisters were getting in as well, the recliner button was pressed and she was being pinned against the front row seat. She wiggled her way out but suffers from Spina bifida and wears AFO braces for her feet. Her foot braces were caught and they snapped but luckily she was able to wiggle out.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 50 reports involved a crash and 9 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
