[Geezer II]

Any of you guys got a vehicle with a start stop system?

Same with the wife’s car, every time I get in it I turn it off…. My trucks a 2021 and doesn’t have it…

Got one of these for the Dodge and never looked back. I'll never buy a vehicle where I can't disable it aftermarket. Bureaucratic garbage.

I hear that some models will auto disable this annoying feature if you have a tow hitch or have a load plugged into the trailer harness. So far I've been fortunate enough to not have this crap on my trucks.

Ram half tons have this, do any other manufactures? (Trucks)

I'll take a preputer car or truck any day - had my 79 chevy truck 25 years just normal wear stuff - dang

It's supposedly a fuel effencey thing, manufacturers got government epa kickbacks if they equipped vehicles with it. Thanks obama

My wife’s 2021 Yukon has it, can’t stand it!

Wife's 2018 Highlander has it. Like others, I turn it off when I'm driving.

That stop start module I linked turns it off automatically when the vehicle starts. I would always forget and it would die at the end of the driveway. Pissed me off. Yeah it's $110 and that was a hard pill to swallow but this vehicle would have been sent down the road if I couldn't have turned it off somehow.

2019 Chevy PU has it, drives me batshit crazy. It does have an OFF button but you have to remember to push it after you start it every time.

 

[Quantum673]

Yep my Truck has it. Push it every time I start it. If I forget, it reminds me when I stop at the first stop sign.

Read something today that GM will not be offering this option on larger SUV’s and Trucks (V8 motors)in the near future because of a chip shortage! They can have my chip too.

My moms gas golf cart has it. I hate it.
Can’t even imagine it on a auto...

They're pricey at $100+ but worth it. Nice to see they have competition. The one I have from smart start-stop is worth every penny. It was a hard pill to swallow but until this thread I completely forgot the car had it.

Reminds me of when I unplugged the seat belt alarm in my Jeep Cherokee, then t-boned an old man that pulled out in front of me. They couldn't figure out why the airbag didn't go off, then the light bulb went off in my head and sure enough, that was why.
