The best and worst Hyundai Palisade years, by the numbers

Short answer: among Hyundai Palisades old enough to judge (2019–2022), the 2019 has the fewest owner complaints per 10,000 sold. The 2020 has the most.

We counted every owner complaint filed with the federal government (NHTSA) for each model year and divided by how many were sold that year, so a year that sold more doesn’t look worse just for being popular. Years newer than 2022 are shown but not ranked — they haven’t been on the road long enough. How this is calculated.
