Many new vehicles now come with built in start stop. Engine stops when vehicle stops - at stop signs and red lights.

ALL automotive experts on utube state to turn OFF the start stop.
A few vehicles - one can turn off start stop full time.
Most new vehicles allow driver to turn off start stop at each driving trip.

Reasons. Premature engine wear on many components of engine. Not just the starter motor. But the engine itself. As most wear on engine takes place at initial start of engine. As when engine is off - oil drains to oil pan. When starting the oil pump has to pump engine oil up to engine pistons.
