Hello, my name is Bob Miller. I chose to buy a 2026 Hybrid Palisade Calligraphy for 2 reasons: The extended front row leg room - more than any other SUV I've looked into. And I've never owned a hybrid - so I was curious how well I would like it. PROBLEM -> less than 48 hours after bringing the Palisade home, I woke up the next morning and the battery was dead. So dead that the Hyundai road assistance tow truck couldn't even get the battery to take a charge, so they towed it back to the dealership. a.i. tells me this can happen due to the digital key and passive entry features being too close to y our smart phone, constantly trying to make a connection, using lots of battery power, causing your battery to drain to "0" overnight.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello all. My wife and I recently purchased a 2021 Calligraphy. Paint color is Moonlight Cloud. We traded in the wife's daily driver ('17 Jeep Wrangler Sport) for this one owner palisade that had 101K miles. We were actually looking to go back to a Grand Cherokee as we have had multiple in the past and really like them. Well, we literally had three that we were looking at swiped out from under us. So we looked around the lot and saw a 2020? in the steel graphite color, which ended up going to auction. We took a test drive in a '22 calligraphy in the steel graphite color and wow.....what a comfortable great ride. totally beat the grand cherokee in overall comfort and ride and even in quality and performance. when we got back from the test drive my wife noticed the what we thought was black '21. she looked inside and fell in love with the color of the interior. Well, long story short, a couple of days later (we looked at it on a saturday) it was ours. Haven't regretted making the switch to a vehicle we normally wouldn't have considered. She is still riding on cloud nine and it has been about a month. Anyhow, glad to be here and look forward to reading some posts about what others have come up against (issues wise) and what others think about owning a palisade. Was one a FB forum page and they might as well have called it the complaint page...lol
