Totally agree. The gas savings vs parts wear is like risking dollars to save pennies. The feature is also SUPER ANNOYING; dangerous even, due to the delayed restart.

They could get 2 or 3% by just making the vehicle lighter mate. One wonders how much efficiency is lost by hauling around the ever increasing number of complex gadgets? For example electrically heated seats can weigh upwards of 80KG for a driver/front passenger seat for what is an utterly pointless function as your arse will warm it up after a minute while the cabin heater kicks in. A lighter car means better road holding, lower fuel consumption and better performance. I own a 2004 lightweight French supermini hot hatch, curb weight of 1035KG and it does 0-62 in 6.7, 140MPH, and cruising at 75MPH (it's peak mpg point) gets 45MPG on a flat motorway with 35MPH on the urban cycle if you don't drive like a boy racer. I wonder what it would do if I lightened it and replaced the posh leather seats and climate control system? That'd knock around 10% of the weight off, and of course with no A/C belt holding the motor back it'd rev a little more freely.

If I forget and leave mine on and the engine shuts down at a light, then when I take off, if I forget and try to take off too fast, there’s a nasty jolt in the drive train as the engine tries to catch up with what’s going on, and I know it can’t be good for things. And that right there is why I try to always remember to keep mine turned off. Besides that it’s really annoying. The potential repair costs are not worth the potential savings.

I'm sure I've just watched and listened to scotty say the exact same 😂

Had a 2017 Dodge Durango with this feature. Had to replace the starter which cost over $1k because the engine mount had to be removed to get the job done. The mechanic checked how many starts the old starter had on it. It had logged 36,000 starts! We were floored! Even if I had started my car 10 times a day for a year it would have only totaled 3650 starts in a single year, but because it stops the engine at every stoplight, stop sign, and even when you pull in to park, it had racked up that many starts at the 87K mile mark.

This man speaks the truth. No nonsense.

Thank's Scotty. In addition to wearing the engine, battery, and starter out faster, the few times I tried that feature on my 2019 Highlander, I noticed a lag in acceleration. Maybe not noticeable for the average driver, but I've driven Emergency vehicles for over thirty years. If you need to accelerate from a stop to get out of a situation where you may be impacted in a collision, you don't want any hesitation.

Except at 150k miles we were doing something and noticed that the serpentine belt we just replaced 6 months ago was now shredded. The headers were leaking. The turbochargers they put on these smaller engines are killing them. Maybe they can get away without a turbo on some, but most they put a turbo on, and I just don't know if I could trust one, even without a turbo. I hope you get a long life out of that car, but man if a vehicle is blowing oil like that under 200k miles, it's a failure in my opinion. Meanwhile my 5.6L v8 on my truck is going on 325k miles with no such oil leak. As far as I'm concerned, that's HALF the lifespan.

The bearings will not be dry of oil, oil clings to metal surfaces for a quite some time. Pull up the dipstick, is the oil sheeting off leaving it dry, of course not, oil clings to metal by design. Also some cars will have a separate electric oil pump that keeps the oil pumping around the engine ready for the start up. There is no extra wear on the engine itself, you might even say less wear as the engine isn't sat ticking over. Certainly there will be more wear and tear on the battery and the starter motor. The main reason the system was introduced was to reduce local pollution in towns and cities where cars sit in queues, and not to save us fuel. The system doesn't produce less carbon emissions overall (probably more carbon emissions) simply because the car is now carrying extra weight for due to extra batteries and up-rated components, and needs to use fuel to charge the battery again after every stop/start cycle, so any marketing material that says its better for carbon emissions is green washing.

Thanks again for being so honest, Scotty. We all appreciate it.

Thank-you, Scotty! I suspected this from 1st time I heard a stop-start engine. You've more than vindicated my suspicions. Great work!

Thank You!! You settled an argument I had with an acquaintance about this feature. I live in Phoenix and drive on the "surface streets" constantly. If someone were to commute from North Phoenix into downtown along, say, 7th Ave. to work during morning rush hour, one could expect to make at least 9 or 10 stops along the way. And in summer when you have your A/C going, daytime running lights on, other interior electronics running, your phone charging, every time you stop for a light, your main battery is draining itself running those systems because your engine has stopped. So, it stood to reason that your main battery will wear out A LOT faster than it would if your idling engine was powering those systems via your alternator while you idle. AND i just knew, without any written evidence, that if you restarted your engine about 10 times more often than normal, you'd burn through your starter MUCH sooner. Physics is truth.

I am no mechanic, but as soon as I saw this feature I knew this was a bad idea. Thanks for confirming it Scotty.

I was already doing this - glad my intuition was correct. Thanks Scotty!

Thank you Scotty! I drive a Dodge minivan with this at work, I can see putting 100 starts on the equipment over the course of a work day - and that's without the intentional stops I make for food, potty breaks, and checking for clients.

In aviation we always avoid unnecessary engine starts. Specifically, if you need to move your airplane on the ground a short distance, it is best to move the plane by hand or with a tug. Starts cause excessive wear due to lack of lubrication plus battery drain. Especially when cold.

The default ought to be to have stupid start stop OFF! I’ve had too many close calls pulling out into traffic from the hesitation in forgetting to push that stupid button to turn the thing off!

The first car I had with the start/stop system was a 2019 Buick Enclave, but it had no button to disable the system. I used to shift into manual and go to 9th gear to prevent the system from shutting the car off. My daughter's 2019 Equinox had a similar issue, but to solve her problem, I bought a Range Disabler, plugged it into the OBD port, and the problem was solved.

I didn't know this stuff, but it always made sense to me to turn the start/stop function off after starting the car. On the subject of batteries, it was necessary to take my car apart to get to the battery behind the front wheel on my Chrysler Sebring... a big job! Then the special battery was £600 UK. That was a few years ago, so would be much more expensive to replace now. Being older and (hopefully) wiser, I now have a Honda Civic.

That is it requires you to press the A button if you want to use the start / stop feature. It cost me about $80 if memory serves me about took me about an hour to install. IT WORKS GREAT and eliminated the annoying start / stop. IT IS A PLEASURE !!

Great advice Scotty

Thanks so much for making sense of this insanity. Scotty. This is part of our vehicle starting process on the CX-5 - to disable i-Stop.

Thx Scotty! I saw this button on my 20 Edge when I bought it and realized it was going to wear out 1 or 2 parts before ya posted this vid. Every time I hop in that button gets pressed! Thought the button made no sense as well.

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

I hate the start/stop system, not only does it wear components out quicker I also think it’s potentially dangerous especially at road junctions. I always try and remember to turn the system off as soon as the engine has started and hate it if I forget on rare occasions!

I like to drink the shots of whiskey and pack up the Hash Pipe with Rocky and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.

YOU ARE SPOT ON !

Been doing that tip since i got my ford fiesta, 4 years ago. So far no problems. It was common sense to me at the time.

There is a way on some cars to disable it. By plugging a car scanner in the OBD port and doing it via software, where you can disable the auto start/stop.

Not on my Ford transit connect and not on my Toyota Highlander. What brands/models do you know of that can have the feature deactivated via a scan tool? Asking to be able to help others. Great comment by the way.

When I bought my last 2 vehicles. I asked the salespeople if it had start/stop. They said no, so I bought them. Start/stop is a stupid/dumb feature. Unfortunately, more and more cars are getting them.

Good point. I have a Subaru set up like this, haven’t driven it much but plan to in the near future. I have already suffered the $200 plus battery. Good point though and I will follow Scotty’s advice.

Wow thx scotty this is getting crazy

Yes Scotty I agree 100% that stop/start systems are bad. My wife bought a new car several years ago and I was very happy it didn't have stop/start unlike the newer model which was just coming in. My neighbour has it on his car and I told him how bad it was but he wouldn't be told and he says he "thinks it's great" 😂😅. You can't fix stupid!

I thought you were going to say you put a stop start button on your wife. :-)

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 does not have the ridiculous start/stop system. It's one of the many things I like about the car.

Thank you for sharing this. I instinctively turn it off every time I start to drive and it's really good to confirm that it's the right thing to do. Cheers .

thanks scotty for all your info

Scottie would make a great orchestra conductor

The most annoying part about stop start is when it stops the engine when it is still cold or when you briefly stop at a junction and bring the clutch up. I now have to press the engine start button then the A button every time I get in.

thank you for this video!

He didn't even talk about this Jeep having the transmission filter built into the pan, so you have to change the entire pan to change the filter LMFAO

Scotty saying the truth .listen to him.and YES make it a habit to turn that thing off before driving ...

@MrAlvarez23 all the ones with that feature has the button to turn it off

I have push to many cars that have stalled in my lifetime across intersections,so I don't get that peaceful feeling when I'm driving a late model car and it shutdown when it comes to a stop,and happy when it starts,when the light turns green, angst gone. Thanks Scott.

My 19 Cruze LS has a switch on the middle console to disable the auto stop. I love it.

There are auto idle stoppers available that can be installed. I installed one on our 2023 honda pilot. It automatically turns off the feature after start. You can manually turn it on if you like. Basically it defaults the setting to off upon startup but otherwise works as expected.

Same things are available for the vw atlas…ask me how I know 😊

Very good video.

You are just great Scotty so much good info . wow

I think this is where Scotty's usual saying " follow the money" comes into play, if cars wear out faster with the stop start system there is a very great incentive for the off button to be withdrawn, sadly once the gaurantee expires worn out parts or whole cars are good news for the car companies. Good news for the government too, extra tax is paid if people are forced to repair or replace their cars.

I bet the added cost and pollution from the larger batteries etc exceed the savings. That said, doesn't it have a larger starter to reduce the wear on the starter.
