I have no issues with the thought of a start-stop on my Ibiza DSG Mk6 car, in fact quite like it BUT there are some issues that IMO are dangerous.
I have had a few close calls where I have wanted to turn right from a busy major road onto a minor side street only to find the car cutting out while I am still moving and am about to turn. Car dies and power steering then cuts out too. I know I can luft the break pedal to get it going again but that short time is 'scary' to say the least especially when you want to sneak through a gap in the traffic flow. Have regular issues from minor to major too but its less of an issue in those cases. I also have the car cutting out when I want to do parallell parking, ie slowly roll fwd to get into position only for it to cut out just as I want to engage reverse. To me the system should be adjustable or at LEAST disconnected if the indicator is activated. I have spoken to SEAT Driverline (not interested), have spoken to Seat Service dept (unable to do anything). It has been suggested to press the on-off button which is of course possible but have to remember this everytime I start the car and that defeats the whole idea of having it. I think its a potential safety issue and should be addressed before a serious accident happens.
Any suggestions/thoughts?
