Thats exactly what happend to me in the middle of the road. I commented the fully story but yeah, I almost got T Boned by a truck because my engine died on me, because I forgot to hit the off button when leaving the shopping center. I should never have had that control taken away from me.
Im sorry I dont expect my engine to die middle of the road because my car thought i was stopping even though I was still rolling forward? I shouldn't have a button in my car that regardless of the position its in can stop my car s engine without my input. This is a start/stop issue.
If I had any other vehicle with it defaulting the "feature" to off or not having that functionality, that would never have happened.
If there is no "off" switch, you have a righteous complaint. In my car, the brake must be engaged for it to work. If the feature can be disabled (no default reset), you have no complaint. It comes down to particulars of make and model. If Zeldin is making a default "on" illegal, that is fine with me. I don't regard it as a "climate technology" but a fuel-saving technology. Mileage is notoriously poor in city driving on account of frequent stops and traffic jams, and this helps a lot to mitigate it.
I have a reset default no option to change it either, now default leave it off is something I am okay with. But I think something needs to change so that even if I wanted to have that feature on im not lost without engine power without coming to a complete stop first. It was very concerning to me that I had not come to a complete stop, maybe going 3mph but I was not full stopped. I know saving money for city driving and fully get that. I just dont think the way its been implemented has been good safety wise.
Basically if car makerswant to have it they should no legislation should stop that. But at the same time. There shouldn't be legislation that requires it either. Only legislation I want is that which will protect life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for Americans. Hope that clears up my point.

You didn't. You had the off button. Forgetfulness is a killer.
