I guess this is supposed to save gas, but I hate the feature and will never buy another car that has it. Does anyone else have this feature and do you like it? Is there any plan to eliminate it on future vehicles?
As said in reply #9-I doubt you are the only person who objects to this ?????? feature???????

I would expect, if your research it on the internet, there is a way to disable it. Before you do any such thing I would check to be sure it does not void your warranty.
