If you're uncomfortable doing this, there is a very easy way to defeat auto stop while driving. Simply pump the brake pedal lightly when you are approaching a stop. The computer will think you are in stop and go traffic and will not engage auto stop/start. One or two pumps and you don't even have to lift your foot from the brake pedal. It becomes second nature after a bit. Our Chevy salesman showed me this trick when we picked up our 2017 Cruze.
This is pretty much what i have always done. But basically just ease on the brake and never push completely down. But if the auto stop does engage i lift off the break slightly til it disengages but car doesn't move. When light changes or its time to go i move effortlessly. But Chevy should just put a button like most other vehicle if they insist on having it equipped.
@@tjpont2149 I do the same thing in my 2018 GMC Terrain, It is now a natural thing without thinking about it. On long stops (train crossing or bridge opening) I do still use auto stop to save on the gas just running for no reason...
Eureka!! It worked on my '18 Malibu!! I no longer have to deak with my car shutting off at every stop at every light, every drive thru, everytime I come to astop sign. Thanks for making this video, always having to put it back into L6 is slightly a nuisance, but not that bad
Great, thanks for sharing. It works on my Equinox 2020. Im also succeed to find position of break pedal when car is stopped let say on Traffic Light but sometimes quite incomfortable.

I didn’t even know it was possible to stop 🛑 this nuisance in my 2017 Chevy Malibu thank 🙏🏽 GOD there is a solution love 💗 this video great 👍🏾 job explaining
I believe later cars have an “autostop off” button. Of course you have to touch it every time you drive. The last I looked you could get a “flip kit” for Ford trucks that makes it default to the “off” position. It installs behind the dash. Maybe there are kits for more cars now.
Kudos for a very good direct-and-to-the-point presentation of the "fix." I recently bought a 2019 Chevy Equinox with the 6-speed and simply put it in "L," set it to "L-6" with the little "+" sign, then drive away. I also talked to the shop manager at the dealership where I bought the Equinox and he assured me that it would not harm the vehicle at all and that it also would not affect the extended bumper-to-bumper warranty I bought. Badda bing, badda boom!
Thank you for taking the time to explain this function and how to turn it off. I am currently having engine issues with my Malibu when it goes into AutoStop. So for me to be able to turn it off has relieved a lot of stress until I am able to get it fixed. Also -- I hope that you have a very Blessed Day as well! :-)
Kristina Friend what I’ve learned is you just have to replace the battery that’s in the trunk it’s gone bad I’ve had my 2015 Malibu for going on 5 years had to change both the front and trunk battery and I haven’t had a problem since
We are having the same issues with our daughter ‘s 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. The auto stop just turns off the engine at the stop light ☹️ and we can’t start it back up of like a minute or two. ☹️

Have only drove a couple of vehicles with auto stop . It was really easy to figure out that all you needed to do was be easy on the brake pedal and the engine never stopped. Don’t push pedal all the way down when you don’t need to .
I have a 2019 Ram 1500. It does not have auto-stop but it does have cylinder deactivation (Eco Mode) that shuts down 4 of the cylinders to "save fuel" when driving at a steady speed and it is extremely annoying. I only have PRND on my gear selector but I can use the gear limiter button on my steering wheel when in Drive to turn off Eco Mode and enjoy the drive.
This is a workaround to the auto stop. It's easier to just tap the brakes right before you come to a complete stop, the engine won't turn off. You can also drive it into a pole, off a cliff, into a lake. These too will cause the auto stop not to work. I think we are all looking to turn it off in the settings so we can normally drive the car without auto stop kicking in.
Do you have to put your car in L9 gear each time you start your car and use L vs D while driving? or is this a one-time thing (my apologies if you addressed this in your tutorial, I'm just not 100% on that) I just purchased a 2020 Traverse I noticed I'm using close to what I did (in fuel) as I did with my Tahoe. I'm hoping this will help. Auto stop is a little annoying when you drive SoCal traffic. Thanks!
Margom562 M you just have to do it when you start driving, it gives u almost the same gas mileage cause the Tahoe turned into 4 cylinders and V8 when it needed, the traverse is running on 6 cylinders all the time
Stupid question. Do I keep my foot on the brake when shifting to LOW? Sorry. I have always owned older cars. This is my first new car and the auto stop is driving me nuts.

I have a 2015 Malibu that I am having issues when the engine auto stops when idle my radio turns off. Now it appears when it happens more than once in traffic my emissions light would turn on. This 2015 Malibu has a manual drive which means you have to shift gears when you accelerate. It does downshift by itself which is good. Not sure how to fix this

What a brilliant simple fix, thank you.
Any updates did anyones car got messed up doing this cause i just got my chevy malibu and auto stop use to work normally but now whenever i get auto stop every 3 or 4 auto stop happens my car turns off the radio system turns off and idk if thats normal or should i take it into mechanic and see if they can fix that
Did you drive in L for it to stop the auto stop from coming on? I did everything but it's still coming on. I have a 2018 equinox
What also works is putting your a/c temperature to the lowest setting. That eliminates having to put it in L gear all the time.
How does that method work?
I’ve noticed that too. If you have the ac on the Lo temperature setting, the car won’t shut off at red lights.
Does the a/c has to be on or just in the lowest setting?
@@marvinpatton6736 it had to be on the low setting and on for this to work
I just got the 2017 Malibu and I was so afraid until I remembered that my friend has a car that auto stops. I thought the dealership had gotten over on me.😁😁
I will try this out in the next day or so. Thank you for an easy and to the point answer.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for doing this video. It was very helpful.
2018 equinox. It worked perfectly. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I was able to do this for 2018 GMC Terrain that I just purchased. 👍😁
Have only drove a couple of vehicles with auto stop . It was really easy to figure out that all you needed to do was be easy on the brake pedal and the engine never stopped. Don’t push pedal all the way down when you don’t need to .
Good job buddy. Nice video.
Be Logical thank you
Thank you! I’m going to try this right now.
Just bought a used 2019 Traverse last year. I will have to try this, this weekend!
I have a 2019 Ram 1500. It does not have auto-stop but it does have cylinder deactivation (Eco Mode) that shuts down 4 of the cylinders to "save fuel" when driving at a steady speed and it is extremely annoying. I only have PRND on my gear selector but I can use the gear limiter button on my steering wheel when in Drive to turn off Eco Mode and enjoy the drive.
This is a workaround to the auto stop. It's easier to just tap the brakes right before you come to a complete stop, the engine won't turn off.
You can also drive it into a pole, off a cliff, into a lake. These too will cause the auto stop not to work.
I think we are all looking to turn it off in the settings so we can normally drive the car without auto stop kicking in.
mine shuts off at 30MPH ugh Hybrid model I was think of a manual switch tapped into the hood sensor
Lol 😂 I hate auto stop 🛑 frfr
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Good answer
I heard unplugging your hood sensor works im about to try it rightnow lol
Do you have to put your car in L9 gear each time you start your car and use L vs D while driving? or is this a one-time thing (my apologies if you addressed this in your tutorial, I'm just not 100% on that) I just purchased a 2020 Traverse I noticed I'm using close to what I did (in fuel) as I did with my Tahoe. I'm hoping this will help. Auto stop is a little annoying when you drive SoCal traffic. Thanks!
Margom562 M you just have to do it when you start driving, it gives u almost the same gas mileage cause the Tahoe turned into 4 cylinders and V8 when it needed, the traverse is running on 6 cylinders all the time
great explanation Amigo, cheers from Texas!
2018 Equinox Premier works great! Thanks for the video
Awesome, you are welcome
Stupid question. Do I keep my foot on the brake when shifting to LOW? Sorry. I have always owned older cars. This is my first new car and the auto stop is driving me nuts.

You do want to keep your foot on the break 😊
Hey mate , there is a fuse you disconnect under the hood. It takes five seconds and stop start function will be disabled once and forever. It is the only permanent fix. I have successfully done it to my equinox
Hey mate, I’ve been trying to figure that fuse out since I first read your comment. How do I do that? I own a 2018 Traverse 3LT. Please help me here. Thank you!
Does anyone know if the starters are alot better in the newer cars 🚗 with the stop and go set up.
It works on 2020 GMC Terrain Denali. Thank you
You are welcome 🙏🏼
So you are telling the vehicle to auto stop when transmission searches for 9th gear? Will this cause transmission issues later?
Joe Tee the vehicle shifts the same way but auto stop will not engage at all.
Probably
Worked for me!
Natalie LoDolce I’m glad to hear that 😊

Lifesaver, thank you so much for the tip!
I have a 2015 Malibu that I am having issues when the engine auto stops when idle my radio turns off. Now it appears when it happens more than once in traffic my emissions light would turn on. This 2015 Malibu has a manual drive which means you have to shift gears when you accelerate. It does downshift by itself which is good. Not sure how to fix this
