We wanted a second vehicle so we decided to lease a Chevy Cruz with option to buy after two years. We like it except for one idiotic feature they put on them. We actually thought something was wrong with it and took it back for them to look at. They said that is how it is supposed to work. What it does is if you hit the break kind of sudden it shuts the car off. Like if a dog runs in front of you and you hit the break the motor shuts down. Called auto-stop. But say you are in an intersection and the person in front of you stops and you hit the break. He drives on but you are sitting in the middle of an intersection with a shut down engine. Stupid, stupid feature. We will not be buying it after two years just because of this.
Anyone else own one and hates this auto-stop feature

Anyone else own one and hates this auto-stop feature Unfortunately this is starting to become available on more and more cars (or made standard). I read that the new '19 Silverado and Sierra trucks will have this feature. I was in the market for a new truck and it looks like I'll be trying to get a deal on a current '18 model Silverado since it doesn't have this start/stop thing.

I was wrong about the sudden stop part. (I always drive my truck) What it does is if you are say in a traffic jam or at a long red light and sit idle for a short time the motor shuts off. I think it has to do with global warming. Still a stupid feature.
