2021 Engine Start-Stop feature

Yes - I agree, ASS (auto start stop) WAS very annoying and useless. See my previous thread:

PERMANENT FREE FIX TO TURN OFF AUTO STOP/START FEATURE

The "fix" has worked reliably without incident in my car for over 15,000 miles.

It was an awesome fix, and it's what I used for the first 4K miles.
Unfortunately, plastic shrinks and changes size depending on temperature...
So mine has failed and now the button actually sticks.
I purchased the AliBaba "fix", but I am hesitant to use it because of possible, but yet unreported, electrical issues.
I am no longer able to install myself, so that's the other issue.

Do you still have the "Auto Hold" feature on your car with the ISG? Last week I drove my friend's Audi A8 with ISG and it starts as soon as you lift your foot off the brake pedal and has no auto hold. I'd miss that feature.

I have not had a "shrinkage problem" (LOL for you Seinfeld fans).
Maybe you were not using a thick enough piece of plastic to begin with, or had not inserted it tight enough.
And if the "fix" on my car failed such that the button permanently stuck with ASS off, I would be thrilled. ASS feature sucks, period. Shame on Genesis for crapping up our cars with it. Just my opinion, yours may vary with mileage.

Comes down to meeting EPA regulations. I think it is sort of funny that my friend's A8 has it but my Sonata does not. She paid $60k more for her car too. She hits the button every time it starts.

I think almost everyone hits the button... which his funny, because everyone claims to be an environmentalist. LOL

Did this fix with a plastic bread bag clip. 2023 3.5 (Canadian car). Works like a charm. No issues in 10000 miles (15km))
