Auto Start/Stop

[Broncotrax]

thanks for the replies. Such crap that Ford forces that on you...

I suppose it's Fords fault that every other manufacturer forces it on customers as well?

Don't really understand some of you guys' allergies to auto start/stop. it's really not bad and not even noticeable at a certain point. I disable it if I'm doing any off roading but for every day use, it's fine.

The only thing I like more about driving my Tacoma vs my dads Ranger is that the Taco DOES NOT do the annoying, jolting stop start constantly. I'll try to get used to it but I'll likely disable it in some manner. Really dumb feature, IMO.

What I like about my new 22 Taco… is you turn off all that lane, blind spot-everything else once…. And never hear from it again. Still trying to get ised to these push start buttons though.
They are alright so far….

I saw an Explorer on the lot recently that had an “auto start stop delete” on the sticker

Chip shortage. Lots of things getting deleted from newer vehicles due to this.

I have it in my ‘19 transit connect work van and it gets annoying. When it’s hot outside and you have the ac on it shuts the ac off. You get what is basically hot dog breath coming out of the vents. Same thing in the winter you lose the heat. If I forget to push the button on startup I push it the moment it shuts off the first time.

It seemed more like an option

It’s not. That’s just what happens with constraints

Most people get used to it, don’t notice it, like the fuel savings. If you’re grumpy about it, turn it off.

Well, since you know everything...

Anyone had any experience with this to bypass this "feature"? Looks like a cheaper, easier install than the other option mentioned here.

I installed the auto stop eliminator the day I brought my Bronco home. Absolutely the best mod possible. I get that some folks get used to it, but others like me find it incredibly annoying. And if you live in the south, the absence of a/c at stoplights is just awful.

I’m not sure what the Amazon link is above but it’s worth getting the real one. It’s well made and the install took 15 minutes. Works exactly as designed.

A.S.S. won't activate if there's a power draw.

ASS; perfect acronym.

I am unfamiliar with this feature. Is it a gas saving device and if so does anyone know what percentage of improvement it is supposed to yield?

It's a feature which allows manufacturers to sell more starters.

Camel's nose under the tent. Presages a future date when someone else will electronically decide when you have driven enough for the day/week/year

Yes...it's coming...
