Disabled it with Forscan right after I got my truck. All of my other vehicles don't have.
God no.My new Sonata and wife's Palisade have this. I've read on here how so many dislike this tech. Does anyone actually find it useful? I rather like it, to be honest. It happens very quickly and doesn't alter my driving style.
Love it. Total silence and absence of engine vibration at every stop light. Very relaxing. Wish I could add it to all of my cars.
I've lived with it for a week so far with the Ram I just bought. I wouldn't say I love it, but it doesn't seem too obtrusive. I like that it seems to have enough smarts so if the turn signal is on and you creep forward, it seems to know you're about to take off so it doesn't stop again. It doesn't sound like it's using the regular starter for start/stop, I suspect it's using the motor/generator from the hybrid drive. I have noticed the ventilation fan seems to turn off when the engine stops, I wonder if that's to keep the evaporator cool in summer since the A/C compressor stops with the engine.
No, don’t like that. Glad I don’t have it on my car. But it’s a manual transmission so I don’t know how that would work.

If I understand you correctly if you stop for a light and wait with the clutch engaged and in first gear the engine won't shut off?Go to neutral and engine stops, push clutch to select a gear and engine starts

Thanks. That is what I thought, here's the rub. IIRC when you come to a light you're supposed to stop and wait with the clutch depressed and in first gear, which would keep the engine running wasting gas with SS enabled. People looking to save a TOB sit at lights in neutral with their foot off the clutch, which would shut the engine off, making SS do what it is supposed to. Back in the day when I took drivers Ed that was wrong and illegal, according to what I was taught. No comment on what I do I might end up in jail. LOLcorrect
Sounds like you’re a perfect candidate to buy an EV. Have funLove it. Total silence and absence of engine vibration at every stop light. Very relaxing. Wish I could add it to all of my cars.

Here at a light they wanted to you to stay in first gear. At a train I'll turn the engine off if the train is long enough. Truth be told I cross a train track once or twice a month so it is a non-event. I might wait for a train twice a year.We're supposed to shut the engine off by law (but nobody does), it was originally intended to cut noise for people living there. specifically there are reminder signs at railroad crossings
No not really. These starters have beefed up internals.It sounds like a system that will end up needing either new flex plates and starters on a regular basis, or rings gears if that applies. So what maybe every 4 years or so? A $2000. transmission removal to do the job? Or maybe just another incentive to trade in on another new one with another big monthly payment?
On MT-equipped cars start-stop is actuated by the transmission being in neutral and the clutch pedal.No, don’t like that. Glad I don’t have it on my car. But it’s a manual transmission so I don’t know how that would work.
