Sorcery!in my '19 Bronco
Yes, it really is that annoying. If I was not confident that someone would make an aftermarket solution to permanently disable it, I would cancel my Bronco order over it. It is f*ing awful.I swear it only drives people nuts because someone told them it should. Auto start/stop is not nearly as intrusive or annoying as the internet makes it out to be.
People should be thankful for features like start/stop for helping keep our gas vehicles on the roads.
Over react much? It's barely even noticeable.Yes, it really is that annoying. If I was not confident that someone would make an aftermarket solution to permanently disable it, I would cancel my Bronco order over it. It is f*ing awful.
no. It has never hampered my ability to drive the car, and we have three with this function.I've never driven a vehicle with this feature. Is it really that bad?
Hey! I was looking up the a AE015 for the bronco sport, what are the chances you think the full-size bronco I’ll use the same thing?This ends up being really annoying with the dongle down by your legs. Also, damaging your OBDII port is pretty awful if you were to pin it out of the way.
Most people (myself included) with the Ranger ended up going the FORSCAN route and simply turning the feature off entirely.
This ^I have one.Dont even thik about it. Push start botton hit the auto on off switch off.done
It might be more for the CAFE benefit, which auto makers are typically desperate to improve. Even a small bump over thousands of vehicles helps, where as an individual owner might not see much if any tangible benefit.My slobbering carburated 5.0 will drive for 1/8th mile just on the fuel in the carb bowls... they might hold a cup? I let it run to drain bowls if I have to pull the carb off for anything, I need to time it but it seems to take forever and a day to idle long enough to get that done.
An idling engine doesn't need a whole lot of gas.
I think if in the name of MPG it would take a lot of stoplights to see much of a difference.
Hard on the engine too. And starter. Mechanically speaking, this is a “feature” that will shorten the life of both.Honestly it’s just me being weird and lazy as far as turning it off every time.
a lot of my driving is starting and stopping so hearing the motor stop and then start after 4 seconds drives me nuts.
