Consumer Description

THE START/STOP SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF I FORGET TO SHUT IT OFF AND PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER A STOP, THE ENGINE DELAYS ACCELERATING CAUSING ME TO NOT GET UP TO SPEED QUICK ENOUGH TO MERGE PROPERLY INTO THE LANE. THE START/STOP FUNCTION IS GOOD FOR CITY DRIVING AND SHOULD BE AN OPTION THAT IS DEFAULTED OFF AND SELECTED TO ON WHEN THE DRIVER SO DESIRES. THIS CONSTANT TURNING THE SYSTEM OFF EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION.
