Is this only for 2018 models? I have a 2017 Allstar, does it have this feature?

He has e assist in his truck.  They are the only ones with auto start stop feature.

I have a 2016 all star edition with the e assist package and if you check your window sticker it will let you know if you have the e assist package if you'd like I can post a picture of mine for comparison

The Fords are permanently bypassed with a single wire used as a jumper on the switch. A simple solution that should have never been a problem in the first place, Ford or GM.

Is this kind of like getting running boards as an option, then taking them off when you get home?

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is what Honda refers to as "Auto-Stop."  When you come to a complete stop, AC is NOT max'd, E-brake is completely released, the engine stops, until you release the brake to continue on your journey.  IT SUCKS!!!!  If you're stopped, engine is off, and something comes up that you have to haul A out of there or get creamed/crushed, the delay in the engine restarting will NOT allow you to get out of the way. 

 

I understand that this situation is rare, but I'd rather "be able to get out of the way and not have to, rather than needing to get out of the way and CAN'T!!"

The issue of being able to move NOW can’t be understated. But it brings up a compounding factor. How do these systems fare 10 years down the road? For the people who don’t take perfect care of their vehicle and one that may not always start on the first try.

 

Maybe you can’t move.

 

Maybe there’s a code that’s thrown that disables it.

 

Maybe the code isn’t thrown till the first time it fails.

 

Maybe that first time is the time you needed to MOVE.

 

If there’s ever a time for the overactive automotive lawyers to get involved in the creation and implementation of a feature, I would think this is it.

These are valid points. I looked at an e assist, and I was hesitant because I tend to keep vehicles, so I was perhaps overly cautious in avoiding that model.

My son just had to replace one of that batteries in his 15 Malibu, 400$. Wonder what the starter will cost?

Auto-Stop or whatever has no business being on a truck.  Let the do-gooders have it on their Smart Cars and Festivas and Yugos, leave the rest of us alone.

I had AutoStartStop on my BMW, I coded it to never function again.... That car was amazing for what you could do to it with just a laptop and a "how to speak German for dummies" book
