After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle experienced rough driving. The contact later discovered that the engine oil level was extremely low. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer performed an oil consumption test, an engine leak down, engine compression test, and carbon cleaning on the engine; however, the vehicle continued to experience the failure.

Owner report 11489473 · 2022-10-16 (October 16, 2022)

The alternator suddenly failed. This caused the batter to rapidly deplete and lose all electrical function of the vehicle. Loss of power steering, breaks, lights, instrument cluster and gauges. basically the vehicle rolled to a stop. Further investigation has shown that this issue is not uncommon on the Palisade. A quick google search revealed dozens of people with the same issue. Since it’s on several year models of the Palisade it points to the alternator. It goes out and the battery cannot support the electronics.
