Quote:Evidently from 2016 on they made them where they shut off when you are at a stop light.  When you release the brake they automatically start back up.  I'm willing to bet that she'll be getting a starter and/or a battery replaced far sooner than I will.  This method may save a few drops of fuel and may be "greener", but in the long run it causes more unnecessary wear and tear and needless expense.

 

 

 

I definitely understand your perspective because I'm not totally sold on that concept too.  However, I can see where the auto shut-off would have a massive impact (saving fuel) when you factor in 20 million cars alone in the US going through rush hour traffic.  It seems to make better sense in LA, Chicago, NY and other congested areas where it takes 90 minutes to go 15 miles.

 

My 2005 Jeep Wrangler doesn't have the shutoff capability, or XM Radio, or bluetooth, or auto windows, or wind-down windows, or auto lock/unlock key chain, or the fancy beep beep sound when you lock the car.   :mellow:
