My son who isn’t particularly handy was able to install after watching the video and I’m a happy camper every time I start the car now. Wish I hadn’t had to pay for an issue that dealer doesn’t recognize but it was worth it.
My cars will do that for three reasons:
1. With the engine stopped it is running off the battery and the battery is getting low. This was common with the hybrid.
2. The AC is on and the evaporator is getting warm so the engine needs to run to make it cooler. This is common with the Audi.
3. I don’t hold the brake down firmly enough so the car thinks I’m releasing the brake. The car often lurches a bit in this case since the brakes aren’t firmly engaged.
