Radiator Leak
I have a 2022 Palisade. I am having problems with the radiator leaking fluid from the upper left hand side.

accident? large bump? stone hit?
I take it to Hyundai this Thursday for them to diagnose.
I just had the same issue at 23k miles and got an engine overheating warning. Dealer said it was a manufacturing defect with the radiator assembly and I got a replacement covered under warranty.
I wonder how common radiator leaks are in the Palisade lineup. Leaks come in various degrees, from an obvious gush leaving a puddle on the floor to an imperceptible drip. The coolant level in my overflow tank is now just under the cold level mark. No big deal, take less than a cup to bring it back to the where it was 8 months ago (when new). But.. it is a closed system and that "cup" went someplace.
My dealer's explanation was that it detached and couldn't be reattached. Pretty serious defect.
I would suspect aluminum block porosity.I wonder how common radiator leaks are in the Palisade lineup.

What's horrible with coolant leak is the smell of burnt sugar. It seeps into the car through the vents and clings on to your clothes!
I had a Dodge Dakota truck that.. when it was cold (-30) one could smell antifreeze for a brief moment, once the truck warmed up the smell went away, never did find where the leak was.
Same issues, but no indication for engine overheating. Coolant leaks on the lower right portion of the radiator, front looking back. I noticed it, due to the puddle of fluid on the deck. I traced the leak under the hood and I found a dry/stain coolant on the metal portion at the radiator assembly. And ofcourse all of the puddle of coolant on the oil panel. Big changes on our situation, was that we just travel for vacation (from CA) for about 1300 miles (to TX) with a change in temperature, (13 degrees was the lowest temp we recorded but only for a day). And suddenly we have this coolant leak. The reservoir was also emptied when I check under the hood. Now looks like we are stuck and no where to go until this gets fixed.

Sorry for your troubles @KikoDan do keep us posted as others will undoubtedly chime in.
You should be able to fill it up with Prestone AF2000
I think I’m having this very same issue. 22k milesI just had the same issue at 23k miles and got an engine overheating warning. Dealer said it was a manufacturing defect with the radiator assembly and I got a replacement covered under warranty.
I’m at 22k and change and I’m having the same issue. Goes in Monday to be diagnosed and i hope replaced.I just had the same issue at 23k miles and got an engine overheating warning. Dealer said it was a manufacturing defect with the radiator assembly and I got a replacement covered under warranty.
Got our Palisade into the dealer yesterday. They too found a manufacturer issue and will have to warranty and replace the entire radiator and assembly. Minimum 1-2 week wait for parts. Hope this gets it fixed and back to us running right.
I took my 2022 Hyundai Palisade in for a radiator leak at 6000 miles. It was repaired but guess what I'm now at 38,000 miles and the same problem. There is stem coming from the engine. When I park it leaves streaks on the hood and is smoking.

Just so everyone is up-to-date. I did monitor the coolant leak by driving the vehicle for couple of days after adding (PINK) coolant fluid, and did not notice any excessive coolant on deck. But definitely the fluid is still coming out from the radiator assembly. So because of that I am confident to drive the vehicle back to CA from TX. As soon as we got back, we schedule the vehicle for inspection into the dealership. After the pressure test, they identified a crack radiator, which is covered under the warranty. It was a total of 5 days to repair the radiator to include shipment of parts. Very inconvenient specially knowing that the vehicle is not even a year old and with under 15,000 miles only. This definitely need to be looked at and grant a recall on my opinion.Same issues, but no indication for engine overheating.

It’s a known problem with these radiators. Had a friend with a 2021 and on their second replacement. 45k miles on car. Seems last about a year.
I was having an issue with my 2022 Palisade with an "engine overheat" warning and a coolant smell all over. I was lucky that my car was in the parking lot. Anyway, I found a puddle of coolant on the floor and coolant everywhere under the hood. So, I called Hyundai roadside assistance... took 5 hours to get my car towed. I just spoke to the dealer... I was told the radiator is cracked. They said it would take 4-5 days to get it fixed—no loaner car. I decided to get a rental car since we need a car. I already called Hyundai customer care and opened up a case. I want to make sure they cover my expense for the rental car. I was so happy about my until now. I guess things happen... it was just bad customer service.
Seems like the radiator is becoming one of Palisades weaker components.
