Our new Volvo has this auto start / stop feature. This is our first vehicle to have this feature.
It can be turned off, but it defaults back to on when the engine is started up again. Of course I always forget to swipe through the tablet screen to turn it off every time I get in to drive.
I cannot see this annoying feature saving any negligible amount of fuel. I think it only causes extra wear and tear on the engine and electrical systems. So, more harm than good being done.
Does the auto off / on cause extra wear and tear on the engine and electrical system? What are your thoughts?
