Rod Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Wife’s Yukon does. It’s less intrusive than I thought it would be. Still don’t see the point though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like it but also don’t care enough to bother disabling it seems like a lot of complexity to save a gallon of gas per year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted January 23 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 23 We put a starter in a car yesterday that had an internal thermal event, car has 35k on the odometer.. Figured she's saved about $50 in fuel with the stop/start feature..But she got to buy a $1700 starter.. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit the button that temporarily does it goes back into that mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It doesn’t work at all if it’s cold out so that’s like 5 months out of the year here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
