No Stop/Start on 2021 GM SUVs and Pickups

[PimTac]

Okay I wasn’t sure which vehicle we were talking about. Some disable the SS system when a trailer harness is plugged in.

My lone experience with then FCA SS was a Pacifica and it was super quick to shut off. Parallel parking usually shut the engine off a couple of times.

A full hybrid vehicle, and a ram with a designed hybrid system and less than 10000miles
isnt proof.

Whats next you arguing every manufacturer's implementation of MDS is not causing any issues?

 

[CKN]

Let's just say the problems are not any where near what they appear on the Internet. I drove a loaner 2021 Chevrolet Silverado with the Dynamic Skip motor. It can run on little as one cylinder. Had start/stop too. The vehicle had 600 miles on it. I drove it about 50 miles. I can tell you first hand that both stop/start and MDS were utterly seamless. And if you visit the truck boards THERE ARE PLENTY of high miles AFM motors.

So yea.

GM is cheap, $50??

VW gave us $150 VW gift card when they disabled the LED sub roof perimeter light because of fire issue recall. Then they actually fixed the lights .

The stop/start system on my VW Atlas 2.0T is phenomenal. It’s almost unnoticeable.

That is not the case on my previous 2.7T, 5.0, and 3.5T F-150 work trucks. Even my BIL’s 2.3 Ranger is quite noticeable.

New GM pickups, SUVs to be built without automatic stop-start feature during chip shortage

GM will stop offering an automatic stop-start fuel-saving technology in some pickups and SUVs due to the ongoing semiconductor chip shortage.

www.usatoday.com

The first thing I do every time I start my 911 is to hit the button disabling the start/stop.

It ever there was a feature that should be disabled on a car, it was that thing on some GM 6 speed transmissions that forced you to go from 1st gear to 4th. Now THAT was annoying, AND dangerous, AND and no option to turn off like the stop/start.

Article from different news source says GM sh*tcanning it due to chip shortage.

From my understanding (and what C&D doesn't mention) is start/stop will return when the "chip thing" returns to normal.

With the supply issues with full size trucks and SUVs GM didn't have to give a dime. Optics.

This is true^^^^^^^

That's good news. My mother has a 2018 Malibu with the start/stop feature and I absolutely hate it.

Again-why is this guy cited as somebody with credibility?

Smart move, I hope others follow their lead. With any luck when the semi chip shortage is over they'll keep building them without stop/start.

 

[Jake_J]

Because he has more then 4 million subscribers.

And 3.85 million of those subscribers wouldn't know the difference between a carburetor and a camshaft...

I think there are some cats and dogs on Twitter that have that many followers. So your point is?
