I thought I posted this earlier but I cannot find the posting. Sorry if I doubled up

It is my understanding that the 2019 Fozzie Touring has an auto shut down feature. Does anyone know if it has a defeat or shut off feature.

Exactly what my wifes C300 does. The restart and s so intrusive the car lurches forward.
Hate it. We prefer to drive my 17’ Forester.

Have never noticed the Forester to "lurch" when SS engages. My Audi has it too and it does not "lurch" either.


Yea I dont doubt that Larry. I test drove a new Cadillac to replace the MB and it was sooo much better. Could hardly notice the engine start/stop at all unlike her current car. Im telling you MB should be embarrassed. I wouldnt buy another one of the if it was 50% off.
“The best or nothing”
Well, Ill take the nothing thank you. Lol

Yea I agree. I dont want some driver stopped behind me at a light trying to manipulate his start/stop with a light brake pedal. Especially if Im on my motorcycle. Keep your vehicle positively braked please, thanks.

On our MB it actually got worse over time.
But I would expect the unit in the Subie is better.
Mostly because you couldn’t experience one worse then the one in the Mercedes. God awful

Just wonder if anyone would pay for Auto Stop/Start if it were an option?



Thats great!

Fuse for Auto Start Stop in 2019 Forester

The most popular features nobody wants.
And rightly so. It sucks.

Im reasonably sure they have spec'd out the starter to last "forever"


surrre they did.

If it can be done successfully and fairly easy I might add, on my F Pace, it wont be long until someone figures the Foz out.

I dont think it has anything to do with being quick off the line. Your right Pilot it does restart fast. No issues with that. Myself, I could care less about how fast it is off the line anyway .
But for most and I will say “most” drivers, it’s just annoying, intrusive and ruins the driving experience.
Everyone knows it can be turned off. Just remember to turn it off…
every time.
And theres the rub.
Find another way to achieve the desired result because this is too annoying.
And for those that say they like it. Well thats cool,…but do you “really” like it ? As asked before, would you have paid for this if it were an option ?
Theres really no need to answer.

Its worst option car buyers never asked for, but are forced to buy.

Good old ingenuity and the after market will cure this soon I bet.
For those that want to eliminate it anyway.

It's shaved several hours of wear and tear off my vehicle.

Sure about that ?

My 07 Outback had 300k miles and was on its factory starter, and my Crosstrek's factory battery lasted 5 years.

Ask me if I'm worried.
Ok, Ill ask the obvious that everyone is thinking…
Did your 07’ have auto S/S ?
