Stupid feature, I hate it. I shut it off if I can remember to do it. But I've learned that if you only keep a moderate pressure on the brake pedal at a stop, it won't engage. (Toyota Highlander)

We have a Subaru and it has that feature. Wish that I could permanently shut it off but instead, I have to cut it off each time I start the engine. I understand why they put it on, in order to save gas, but I figured it up one day that it saved me about a half of a gallon per year. That’s all well and good but it will cost a whole lot more to replace the starter when it wears out then all the gas that it saved. Not a helpful or appreciated feature!

(Not saying it can't happen, just not convinced it's a primary concern)

Even yugo can last 5 years. OK maybe I over exaggerated that one….

Had dynamic fuel management (auto stop/start) on my 2019 Sierra Denali and it was a joke! Recently purchased a new vehicle and in the selection process I focused on only vehicles that don’t have it.

I have found it to work flawlessly in the three cars (a Mercedes a Toyota and a Hyundai). I have seen no reason to disable it.

Bypassed mine with a tazer mini. Don't even have to push the button now.

Don't cry when you have to replace your starter prematurely then.
