Consumer Description

AUTO START/STOP IS TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED. IF YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION, IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO START BACK UP AND MOVE THE VEHICLE. LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO, THE THROTTLE GETS PRESSED HARDER IN THE HOPES OF THE VEHICLE MOVING. BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP I'M 3/4 TO THE FLOOR WITH THE THROTTLE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TAKE OFF LIKE A ROCKET. THIS IS OVERLY AGGRESSIVE START STOP IS DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD OPERATE LIKE OTHER SYSTEMS AND NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE UNTIL IT IS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CONCERNS TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED.
