Rental car again.....
So the Chevy Cruze engine shuts down when at a light and restarts when foot is taken off of brake which prompted me to wonder....with cars that do this is there a increased number of starter motors replaced?
Since my 53 chevy I don't think I have ever replaced a starter. Just wondering,that is all. |

Supposedly, the cars with the start/stop "feature" have heavy duty starters, alternators and batteries.
Not sure if the start/stop can be overridden on your rental POS, but my Grand Cherokee has a button on the dash to turn the "feature" off. Unfortunately, I have to press the button again every time I start the car. |

I thought some of these cars were able to start stop without the use of the starter, due to direct injection.

The computer remember which cylinders are in a position to fire, then adds fuel to those, sparks, and the car is running again.

cool, I didn't even look if I could turn it off because I had it less than a week and didn't really care.
Interesting how that works,wonder how much it goes bad and what that can cost |

Our 2016 Cruze Premier has it and it is not at all annoying to us.

If you are verrrry gentle with the brake at stoplights, you can keep the engine running most of the time. If I know it's going to be a long light, I don't worry about it and just let the car do its thing.

I'm personally convinced that eventually one component or other will fail. Except now, instead of in a parking lot or your garage, it'll happen during rush-hour in the middle of traffic, in either 100 or -20 degree weather.

Push the A/C button until it turns yellow, green is Eco mode and will shut off more often.

I know that it's been shown on paper to be doable; but I am unaware of any production vehicles actually using this method. Mazda is now selling some engines with their i-Stop System; but it still uses the starter. Quote:
