Thank you so much for your reply! It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this. You mentioned checking the connections around the fuel filter. Could you perhaps elaborate a bit more on what I should be looking for specifically? I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I'm willing to give it a shot before taking it back to the mechanic.

Alright, I understand. Honestly, if you're not super comfortable with car stuff, I wouldn't dig too deep. I'd suggest taking your mechanic's initial diagnostic seriously, especially since they pointed to a cable or plug connection. Sometimes, it's best to leave these things to the professionals before you accidentally create another fault somewhere. I went to the workshop for my issue - it's safer.

I appreciate your advice. You're right, I think it's best to leave it to the professionals. I took it back to the shop, and they confirmed it was indeed a faulty connection with the fuel filter heater. They replaced the defective parts, and everything seems to be running smoothly again. The total repair cost was 95€. Thank you again for your support!

PALISADE

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Palisade. I have a Palisade too. I had a similar issue a while back with the fuel system. Reduced power and rough idling sound familiar. For me, it turned out to be a faulty connection somewhere in the fuel system's electricals. It's like a loose wire in a lamp, causing flickering and dimming. Have you checked the fuel filter and the connections around it? It might be something simple, but with these modern cars, who knows?
