• Newer Ford vehicles come standard with auto start stop technology with no way to permanently disable it.

• The auto start stop technology does not provide much gas savings on Ford vehicles and it will wear down your ignition components faster.
• Autostop Eliminator makes auto stop devices for different Ford models which will give you the option to permanently disable the auto start stop technology.

Upon the introduction of the Auto Start-Stop feature in Ford vehicles, a limitation emerged – the absence of a built-in option for permanent disablement. Consequently, users are required to manually deactivate the auto start-stop system each time they initiate their Ford. Especially if they wish to prevent the engine from stopping at every stoplight. Acknowledging the inconvenience and frustration experienced by drivers, our goal was to offer a solution that eliminates this repetitive task and elevates the overall driving experience. 

What is the Auto Start/Stop Technology on a Ford?

The auto start/stop technology feature on a Ford is ultimately designed to help the vehicle get better gas mileage. The way the auto start/stop feature works is when the car is active & comes to a complete stop while the engine is on, like at a stop light, the engine will shut off automatically. When the gas pedal on the car is reengaged, the engine will come back on automatically after a few seconds. This is achieved through a series of sensors under the hood. Obviously, when the engine of a car is not running, it is also not using gas, thus the auto stop feature is saving fuel overall by shutting the engine off & on.

Benefits of the Ford Auto Start/Stop Technology

The biggest benefit of the automatic engine start/stop technology feature is the conservation of fuel. Studies have shown that vehicles that have the auto engine start/stop feature do save more fuel vs vehicles that do not. Other benefits include the lack of weight that the auto stop sensors add to a vehicle. These sensors are extremely lightweight and do not add any significant weight to your Ford. Additionally, you will save money overall on fuel costs as you will use less fuel.

Disadvantages of the Ford Auto Start/Stop Technology

The biggest disadvantage of the Ford automatic engine start/stop technology feature is the wear and tear on the engine components increases. Because the engine starts and stops so much more than a vehicle without the auto start/stop feature, the engine and other parts of the ignition system get used much more and will wear out faster. This causes increased auto repair costs and increased frequency to the mechanic. Many people have found that these increased mechanic costs do not outweigh the cost savings on the fuel. Plus, many people get frustrated when they hit the gas pedal at a stop light and their vehicle does not come off the line as fast as it should because the engine is restarting. Being frustrated and driving is a dangerous combo that can lead to accidents.
