| Description of the problem | Stop/start feature danger: i was making a left turn, pulling out from a driveway in heavy cross traffic. I was pulling onto a four lane road. Just as i started to lift my foot from the brake, the stop/start feature shut the engine off. There was a full two seconds before the engine started. The cross traffic had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting me. Normally when the engine the re-start delay is small, but because the engine was shutting off as i took my foot off the brake, this added a significant delay before the engine restarted and was able to accelerate. This is only an issue if the engine happens to shut off right at the moment you intend to pull out into traffic. |
