I'm looking for some feedback from any 2018 or 2019 Traverse owners regarding the auto stop/start feature that Chevy introduced on these models. I was all set to buy a new 2018 Traverse last year when the new model was released until I started reading about this feature that was added beginning with the 2018 model. You don't have the option to turn off the auto stop/start like some other vehicles that I've read about so this caused me some concerns about the newer model Traverses. For anyone that has a new model with this feature, have you had any problems or issues with the auto stop/start, such as hesitation, shutter or delay when taking off after the engine starts back up? Or an issue such as the engine falling dead and not starting back up when you come to a stop?
I keep getting this image in my mind of coming to a stop to make a left turn where there is oncoming traffic, and the darn vehicle hesitates or shutters when I try to accelerate or it falls dead all together!
I've read that you can buy some after-market devices to disable the auto stop/start, but of course I'm sure you'd have to be concerned about invalidating the vehicle warranty unless it's that easy to remove this device anytime you take it in for servicing?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
