good luck ASS is designed to waste gas, burn the battery up and let you get T boned making a left turn........some people ( blow up whistle blower) love to lie about the facts to cover the ford SDIQ management .......however good news and truth will prevail as 4DTech will soon have a easy module for about $100 to disable permanently.
I will be the first one to tell anyone that the Stop-Start lark is nothing but feel good BS for some elements of our society. Thankfully, it can be done away with using this:
I bought one, and installed it in less than 10 minutes....problem solved! I highly recommend this for anyone who gets triggered everytime this SS nonsense intrudes on your driving pleasure. I am not affiliated with this device in anyway. I just simply cannot stand what it does by constantly turning the car off-on-off-on-off-...bloody hell, enough already! Best 90 bucks spent so far. Thanks /m
And no possible warranty implications.You could use your right index finger for free and shut it off. Hell, that would make it a 2 button sequence instead of one to start the vehicle (push start button, push as/a off as you go to turn the rotary dial). First world problems, my goodness.
Just an fyi, 2 posts above yours was the link to the product.

The Explorer will maintain A/C if it is required by not shutting down the motor. Also, as stated several times the motor starts up as soon as brake pressure is released, so it also will take off immediately since the engine is running by the time you put your foot on the gas.A hybrid does it right, when the motor shuts off you have electric A/C so no reduction in cooling capacity, also the hybrid takes off immediately since its using the electric motor to propel the car forward no waiting for a starter to turn on the gas engine. The Ford HF35 transaxle is a real masterpiece of engineering.
Well thats good you have first hand knowledge they fixed it in the new Explorer. My experience a few years ago I had a 2015 Focus with the 1.0 Ecoboost 3 cyl and auto start stop.you could pull into a tacobell drive thru in the 100 plus summers with the A/C on max and the car would still shut off motor and you could feel the A/C getting hot it would finally start but you could definitely tell the difference in A/C temp. My car was a stick so as soon as you push in the clutch the motor starts back up however it was not smooth and you could feel the jerkiness of the 3 cyl engine come back to life. The good news was after so long the auto start just quit working I think it was due to the state of the charge being low on the battery but it was one feature i didn't care to have the dealer fix.The Explorer will maintain A/C if it is required by not shutting down the motor.

I know that if you know the tech at the dealership you an ask him to deactivate it....It's been noted by myself and others in this thread that the auto start/stop will restart to keep the cabin at the set temperature. It also restarts instantly when you take your foot off the brake and is ready to go before you step on the gas. I've lived with it for almost 4,000 miles now; there's a lot of unnecessary fussing going on about this subject.

Thank you axis of evil for posting this aftermarket solution to ASS. Installed yesterday in 8 minutes. Luckily we have such talent in the aftermarket to neutralize the incompetence of ford engineers and the politically correct swamp at Ford. My condolences to all of those who own Ford stock.......which has it’s own ASS feature, Auto Down Auto Down more.
