THIS CAR, A 2018 GMC TERRAIN IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO START / STOP, A STANDARD FEATURE THAT TURNS OFF THE ENGINE WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE BRIEFLY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO A TRAFFIC LANE WITH THE ENGINE OFF, I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN UNSAFE LAG BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTS. GM HAS STATED, THE ENGINE CAN BE TURNED BACK ON BY REMOVING YOUR FOOT BRIEFLY FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. SERIOUSLY ??? WHILE BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE, I WILL NOT FOLLOW THIS …
