Whats is your opinion the jeeps engine stop start system?

[Stan H]

Not that I’m in favor of the reasoning but isn’t the jive behind the ESS to lower emissions?

Less gas burned is less emissions emitted . But with 2 catalytic converters how can it be emanating anything

Don't like it, and I've seen what trouble it caused on two family member's Pentastar vehicles.

ZERO yes responses to would you pay $500 for ESS/ASS as an option.

Oops, missed the one yes.

LOL - real scientific. A forum where people come to complain about systems. Yup, real accurate and scientific.

Simply quantifies a ratio of those in a certain sector who have an opinion about the subject.

Not sure if its my driving but mine hasn't turned off in a couple of years.

ESS, Cylinder deactivation, skip shift...etc. Solutions looking for a problem

I don't like it and turn it off as part of the steps I take when getting in the Gladiator... I do the same in my wife's car (other car brand).

Probably the same as most regulatory-induced choices we have to make.

Most folks in the U.S. completely fail to use turn signals, yet manufacturers keep putting them on vehicles for some reason.

If Chrysler was allowed by U.S. DOT to make turn signals a $500 option, would you keep the cash?

ESS, Cylinder deactivation, skip shift...etc. Solutions looking for a problem

All designed to get through the EPA certification process. All contribute to making the required numbers on the tests, but of the three, only stop/start actually gives any real world results. You can get a noticeable increase in mileage with ESS, maybe, just maybe, a small increase with cylinder deactivation, but skip/shift.. I have only had it hang up on me two or three times in the past 15 years, but it makes me hate it just for those few times. I can live with the ESS and MDS, but skip/shift is an immediate, must disable it thing.

According to this official survey, the manufactures need to do a better job of enticing drivers to use ESS and MDS. If people are not using it, what makes the manufactures eligible for CAFE credits? The cost of the vehicle goes up and the cost of maintenance goes up for some ( Honda v6 MDS). My 5.7 hemi in my WK2 was bad on plugs fouling, hesitation and rough idle. Deactivating MDS eliminated all of it. The manufactures would have a hard time selling my another vehicle with MDS.

I get it, who wouldn't want cleaner air? At what cost? As I have said before, I'm not a fan of ESS. I don't use it. I don't have the traffic to utilize the technology, yet a .GOV mandate says that I still have to pay for it.

Remove your Aux battery.
Install jumpers.
Pull fuses.
Tape down switches.
Install Tazer or similar device.

It is your car and do what you please. People come here for advice, and many times after they screwed the pooch. That is all I am interested in, helping these people.

I felt like kicking this dead horse one more time.

And it's like asking people in a hospital how they feel.
How about asking forum members if they like Jeeps.
It's going to be totally skewed.
Proves zip, totally meaningless. Why bother?

It’s a simple poll. Why get so worked up about it?

 

[johnchabin]

If it remembered the last state it was in after turning the car off, I would move into the neutral category.

 

[Redfour5]

For the jeep jl/jt. Is it favorable or unfavorable?

I'd tell you, but then they would ban me and censor me so you wouldn't be able to read it anyway.

It's like asking people in a hospital how they feel. In the real world the numbers will be much different.
I would bet, yes bet, most jeep owners don't know about tazer or disconnecting things and I would bet at least one quarter aren't aware of the dash button!
Captive audience of a very specific group. Pretty much meaningless compared to real world. Who's worked up? I'm amused, laughing at much of this. Absolutely supports my points on internet info.

I notice a difference so I use it in my gladiator. No difference in my grand Cherokee so I turn it off
