All this anti-modernist BS is exactly how really old people act before they drop dead and life goes on without them for a much relieved younger generation... There's no future for these corrupt predatory criminals. Or as Obama said: "Most of the world's problems are caused by really old men refusing to let go of power."
Only two of my vehicles are afflicted by the aptly named 'A.S.S.' I used....A.S.S. wipes on them - costing a total of $20 for both. Of all of the allegedly gas saving gimmicks that government has saddled us with I can only think of one that is more ridiculous - which is the reason that there's really no such thing as a small truck in America these days. My company Jeeplet has A.S.S. I've gotten into the habit of smashing the disable button right after I start the car, but it has the new "smart A.S.S." system that makes the car's victim push the button to disable it after each re-start. HOWEVER (comma!) Sometimes I forget to do so. This will turn out to be a self-licking lollipop because...it's a Jeep, which means it's really a Dodge. THAT means it a 'rough A.S.S.' feature. Leaving an intersection after it engages is about as smooth as a bartender-turned-congress critter answering an adult question in Munich. I expect that this car will be needing a new tranny fairly soon.
Hate Auto Stop On the rare occasions I forget to turn it off on my 2024 Outback it sounds like an old garbage truck
Aren't some Chrysler products made without the option to turn the system off? I think I've heard them referred to as "complete A.S.S.".
Uh -- so, why does the car start so roughly when started by auto stop? Doesn't shake and roar when I start it. kris
Been turning it off with the low temps we've had and having a battery past its midlife. Otherwise, I don't mind auto stop. Actually have been waiting it to come to the US for years. I don't see it going away. Other markets aren't reducing their emission regulations. Following the reduced regulations here to the extent of lowering car prices will just leave the company uncompetitive in those other markets. Somethings wrong? I only notice a shake when the start up happens has I have the brake applied. Otherwise, it smoother and quieter than a cold start. The only big difference between our cars I can think of is mine is direct injection.
