I'm leasing, so it's covered bumper to bumper for my lease term.

That's what I'm looking for. Good job finding that. Thanks

Biggest SUV in this class with an actual adult usable 3rd row. It was this or step up to a Tahoe/Suburban.

Battery? You guys want to see the battery? Here you go:

California? That's literally shocking.

Neither mentioned receiving a reminder email.

They both got the email almost instantly. 1 guy took 6 days to respond, the other guy took 11 days because he forgot. I got an instant email notification when the references were returned.

Just got the call to come pick up my permits. 17 days and that included my references taking over a week to respond. Not bad.

Outside of NJ, nobody gives a shit what anybody from NJ says or does.

Holy crap. I just went through the vehicle looking for a auto start stop fuse/circuit. No luck so far. But I did find 3 friggin fuse boxes. 1 under the hood, 1 under the dash, and 1 in the cargo area. There must be 150 circuits in this vehicle. And you have to see the positive terminal on the battery in this thing. Looks like a set of bus bars in a generating station.

Thanks, but I read that already. The Traverse doesn't have the shut off button, and driving in "L9" makes it shift through all 9 gears. Unlike driving in "D" which let's the trans skip gears depending on load and makes for a much smoother ride.

What bothers me the most about is that it's not fast enough to react in an emergency. I have tried a couple times to see how fast it would start and begin to move. All times I have been able to take my foot off the brake and push the gas pedal all the way to the floor before it is able to restart and begin moving. I fear I'm not going to be able to get out of the way of a fast approaching car that's not going to stop.

True. I read that Chevy is using a bigger, heavier duty battery for this system.

Apparently the starters and ring gears have been "upgraded" to handle the constant stops and starts. I also thought starting and stopping the engine wasted more gas than idling for short periods. But I guess that was from the carburetor and early FI days.

Did that. No manual override button either, like on other brands of vehicles. I'm looking for a car guy's secret on how to fix this.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Don't lecture me about conserving fossil fuels and the environment stuff, I'm not that guy.

Ok, so I just picked up a new 2019 Chevy Traverse to replace our aging GMC Acadia. Standard on these new vehicles is the engine auto stop/start. So far I am not loving this feature. I have found 2 ways so far to kinda override it. 1 is to do a quick brake pump while stopped or 2, shift the trans into L then back to D. Both ways will restart the engine and it will stay running at this point. My question is, is there a permanent way to override this feature with say an ECM flash? Or maybe a fuse that can be removed to disable it?

Like a no show job? Cool.

So, then the references part is working as intended. The whole NJ process is designed to discourage gun ownership.

So, has anyone received their permits using the new system yet?

That would be helpful too. But the receipt does say that you pay for the permits when you go to pick them up. So, you only have to go once.

Good. At least they straightened that out. Really made no sense to do an online application and have to go into the PD also.

I thought this was settled law.
