My Jeep has this idiotic Auto Start-Stop.
This needs to use a secondary battery, which they buried somewhere behind engine.
It cost me $400 to replace this battery.
Even if this feature saved me few $ on gas, it definitely not saved me $400 worth of gas!
And how much did this feature raised the price of the vehicle?
All to fulfill some guv idiot stupid regulation.
Anyway, people do not buy Jeeps for fuel savings!

Plus you’ll be replacing the starter more frequently.
