You need to follow your own argument. You asserted that within a few years this feature would result in the need for a new starter (and something about electronics). I pointed out that I have over five years and over 60,000 miles on each of three vehicles.

I'm not trying to set a standard, I am disputing that a standard exists. I can't prove that a starter will never go bad due to this system but I *can* prove that this system will not always kill a starter.

Your post and others have claimed the feature will cause starter failure. My experience alone shows that is not always the case. This thread is generally hostile to this feature yet no one has reported needing to replace their starter. In a quick search I found several articles debunking that claim and zero article supporting it.

No, my experience does not set a standard for the world, it just seems to be the common experience. Your assertion also does not set a standard for the world but can you point to anything that supports it?

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
