“stop/start cycling systems”...They suck

It boggles the mind when you find out exactly how much they suck.

ASS or Auto Stop Start touches everything, it's not simply shutting off the engine. It's flat out ridiculous.

Spent 300 bucks to get a chip to disable that and other nanny systems on my 22 gladiator

Rented a Volvo (not my choice) years ago that did that shut off at a stop thing. Alarmed the hell out me that the damn thing was breaking down. Being a Vovlo, it was already weird, that shutting off almost had me returning it to Budget.

yes, they could make them much better.

I was on a metered downhill freeway onramp during rush hour.

the volvo in front of me stopped and started 47 times after I decided to start counting.

I turned my car off once and just lowered the ebrake everytime I had to move forward a car length

My wife’s ten year old Mercedes has a button to turn it off. It’s the very first thing I do when I start her car.

“These suck”

The stop/start cycling system is the worst thing ever devised…and it was done to meet government requirements. So scratch that first statement, government is the worst thing ever devised.
