I just had a rental that did that. Irritated the F out of me. You could feel it power down and then had to wait for it to power up when you pushed the gas to go after a red light. Sometimes I’d get a jerk out of it because I’d punch the gas and then there was a delay so it got the gas all at once. I hated it.

“Irritated the F out of me.“

Most cars have a button to disable it. But you have to push the button
EVERY TIME YOU START YOUR CAR. Now they’re starting to remove the button.

I just got a new F150 as a company car. It has the shut off. First time my wife noticed it, she went off on the stupid tree huggers.

I try not to let it auto shut off. Near my house, I have to make a U-turn in an intersection. The delay to start the truck is actually dangerous.
