In responseSo I've seen a lot of negative comments about ESS and I don't get it....
For me personally my experience of ESS is:
1 - it saves fuel and money
2 - it reduces emissions that contribute to climate change
3 - I actually like sitting at junctions or in traffic without the noise and vibration of the engine running (it's hardly the smoothest engine in the world)
4 - it reduces engine wear
5 - the engine always starts within the split second of taking my foot off the brake and moving to the accelerator so quickly and smoothly it's never an inconvenience
I don't subscribe to the view that the constant stop start increases wear on the starter motor etc to any great degree - pretty much every new car here in Europe comes with this system, but if there are other real life experiences I'll listen...
So what's not to like...?
1. Negligible if any.
2. U realize ther was a volcano a year or so ago that spewed nearly as much carbon as man has created in the last 100 years. It's quite arrogant to think that anyone and their little jeep with ESS are changing the world. Climate change is highly likely a natural phenomenon above that of the impact of man.
3. Seriously snowflake...lol.
4. Highly doubt this...you've likely never changed a starter motor or timing chain yourself. You'll also have increased belt wear and pully bearing wear. Sorry but I don't like my AC dying at lights.
5. That split second can cost you you life.
ESS is a daily reminder that our lives don't mean squat to jeep or the EPA. A daily reminder of her jeep bent the knee to the EPA.
