It doesn’t bother me as much as o thought it would. The last 4 cars we had to it so it’s just natural now. All car do it now. It will never go away. Back in the carburetor days it took more gas to stop and start it. My how we have come a long way.
My Maserati (FCA too) auto-parks when you turn it off. Solves that problem.
That's exactly how I control it. I learned that on my wife's Grand Cherokee (about 2 or 3 GC's ago) and it's talked about in other car forums. Press harder and it shuts off. Don't fly to the stop and slam the brakes hard - and you can keep it from shutting off. All with the brake pedal. And if at a stop light and you pressed too hard and it shut off, let up and move forward 2" and use the brakes again and it won't shut off. Then it will be running when the light turns.
Stop slow then creep a bit it won’t shut off.
You don't even have to creep, just stop pressing the pedal down so hard. Once you're stopped it doesn't take much brake to keep you there.
Who has a push button to open the door?
I also came from a Ford that just included this stuff. I refuse to pay for XM Guardian, or XM Radio for that matter. Though something they don't like to advertise, the crash detection will trigger a call the XM and they will call emergency services on your behalf even without the monthly service fee.
I have a 3 year old, so I don't ever take the back doors off. Also keeping the back doors on let's me put stuff on the floor in the back without it flying out. So I like the switch being in the middle, it let's me put the back windows up and down while the front doors are off. I think a lot of people run front doors off, back doors on.
