Sir when I catch you in the streets I'm going to hug you. You might even see a tear come from my eyes. I drive Lyft and it gets annoying asf. Thank you so much
One of the boys here. Thank you because the auto stop definitely was driving me crazy I almost got t boned because I couldn't accelerate fast enough During a turn there was so much lag. I absolutely do feel a huge difference The response time is incredibly quicker
I tried both this trick and the turning on the defroster while driving technique. Both techniques worked for a few days then somehow the auto stop start annoying thing started up again. Its like chevy has a brain.
All this start stop dose is mess up your transmission over time another way Chevy trying keep getting money out of everybody it better if it off all it does is make your electric parts work hard go bad over time if you do lot of driving
But will I have to do it every time I'm in the car after I turn it off then retarting it.. bc I did that before and I turn it off and then restart it and went back to normal..
My 2024 model has a dashboard button to turn it off. HOWEVER I don't want to push that button every time I start the car. But.... pushing that button ONCE is easier than pushing the shift button SIX TIMES. It's just a constant annoyance I wish I could eliminate.
This feature can be turned off on the newer models but not the 2020 and earlier likely because of complaints on earlier models. This is the only method and it is a shame. Chevy engineers aren't always very practical.
Someone in another similar video comment that doing that same procedure mess up the transmission, which I don't know Im not a mechanic but this is really annoying and want it to stop,
I got you, fam. Put the car in Neutral with the e-brake on. The engine will never turn off until you turn it off or it runs out of fuel. That's how I keep her running on those cold days where I'm parked and need the heat.
@@HollywoodHornetcould be a good idea until the dog accidentally puts the car in drive and hits the gas pedal then at that point it's not a good idea
One day I was watching this video and then my sister came in my room my zipper was open and she said omg what I was doing I told her I was watching a video on a equinox not realizing my zipper was open so during Christmas dinner I was wondering why my whole family had all gave me a jar of KY jelly and they were all laughing at me so now I am self conscious about my zipper being open this is a true story
I pulled the plug loose from the hood latch sensor. This is a permanent disable of the engine auto stop feature. I'm pretty sure everyone can tell if the hood isn't latched. Why do we need a sensor to tell us that? I wish I had a way to move this comment to the top of the list. It sure eliminates the problem of driving in L6 all the time. THANKS @ALANLANGLEY7426 FOR PRESENTING THIS IDEA.
I reckon you're asking to make a "tutorial" on turning off the "automatic door locks"? If so, turning off the automatic locks when your car reaches a speed is a coding issue that must be done via high-end scan tool. It's been a while since I drove the Equinox so I don't recall when the automatic locks...lock. I do recall on my BMW you can code the locks to either (never lock automatically) or (lock/unlock upon shifting to or from PARK) or (automatically lock when you reach a certain speed) AND you can choose what speed you want the doors to lock.
Doesnt constantly putting it in low gear and doiing this mess up the car or the tranny? I love these models but they could have done without this stupid feature, i can only imagine the money they've lost just having this feature.

Thxx u soo much bcuz I just got me a chev 2020 & this was getting on my nerves 😳
Thank you. That was so annoying they should move that plus and neg controls. Smh
Hallelujah! Mad ignoring!! Amen. Thank you very much. Whew!!

You are an angel !!!
They should have a option to simply turn off Auto Engine Stop. This seems mickey mouse! But hey it's a Chevy! :)
They do on some models! There's an A with an arrow around it on the dashboard controls.

They say it's designed to not wear parts out. But I think the same way.
I agree 100%. Whoever invented it should be fired!!!
What about for the 2.0T engine? The “L” goes all the way up to 9. Should we stop at L6 or go all the way up to L9? Thanks for the video!
Go to nine, if you want all nine forward gears for maximum fuel efficiency.

There's something you can connect to your vehicle to do this
You can disable it anyway, just don’t know how lol.. mine was off when it bought the car and now it’s turned on somehow

I'm a girl, BTW. LOL Thank you for the help 😊
Do you know how to do it on the diesel equinox
Someone in another similar video comment that doing that same procedure mess up the transmission, which I don't know Im not a mechanic but this is really annoying and want it to stop,
What about when leaving car running idle without turning off, ? I wanna leave my dog in the car longer than 15 mins sometimes and it keeps turning off

@@nivekgad don't teach the dog to drive. Problem solved.

But do u have to do it every time ur in the car tho
And you can keep it in L6 the whole time while driving? Even lower speeds and stops ??
Yes
I have had to replace 2 batteries and a starter due to that auto stop start!!!!!
unplug the front hood latch or but a dummy female end in your trailor hook up thank me later
I'll try this lmao!

@@wd5hyqgarylong495 also i heard that you can put a dummy pigtail like your pulling a trailor it will disable the auto start
unplugging hood latch will disable remote start from FOB too i believe
Can you make a turtole to trum off autolock

Ok now do I have to do this every time I get in the car?
yep
Yes, unfortunately. But the newer models have an option to disable it in the settings.
This is going to be annoying on my 9 speed transmission 🤣🤣
Doesnt constantly putting it in low gear and doiing this mess up the car or the tranny? I love these models but they could have done without this stupid feature, i can only imagine the money they've lost just having this feature.
Turn on AC..it wont auto stop
That isn't true lol
Very annoying
Buy a BMW problem solved with a click of a button 😀
And if you're a RN, you drive a E38 and that beast predates all this auto stop/start crap.
Ugh
Another reason ppl hate american cars 😂😂 bring back muscle cars at this point
