I have a 2018 Escape 1.5 4-cyl Ecoboost, which has the engine shut down feature when it idles too long, and it works ok. Its not too intrusive, meaning it isn't constantly shutting the engine down the second the engine comes down to idle.
I also have a company provided work vehicle, a 2021 Escape, 1.5: 3-cyl Ecoboost which has a very active/intrusive engine shut down system. It is constantly shutting the engine off the second it gets to idle when the vehicle is stopped in gear. A wiggle of the steering wheel or relaxed pressure on the brake pedal brings the engine back on. But it does it way too much. Like, I pull into a a parking stall and come to a stop, the engine shuts off. Then it restarts when I turn the shift knob to P, so I can shut it off yet again with the STOP/START button. Kinda ridiculous and irritating.
Is there a setting I've not found yet to control the sensitivity or frequency of when the engine auto shuts down?
