Consumer Description

AUTO START/STOP CREATES A HAZARD WHILE TURNING. FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION AND WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC, TRUCK SHUTS OFF. UPON RESTART, THERE IS NOTICEABLE LAG IN POWER STEERING WHICH EFFECT THE ABILITY TO TURN. NO ABILITY TO TURN AUTO STOP/START OFF PERMANENTLY WITHOUT VOIDING WARRANTY. CRASH STATS PROVE LEFT TURNING MOVEMENTS AT INTERSECTIONS CARRY SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH RISK. ADDITIONAL UNPREDICTABLE STEERING BEHAVIOR INCREASES ALREADY HIGH RISK. I FEEL THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. POWER STEERING IS NOT INSTANT UPON START UP AND AUTO START/STOP FUNCTIONS SMOOTHLY UNLESS WAITING TO TURN.
