Q: My 2023 GV80 has a lot of bells and whistles and one of them is the engine turning off at stop lights to save gas. I noticed that the feature had stopped working so I took the vehicle back to the dealership. Two hours after my appointment time, it was returned to me with the statement that there was no error code and there were many things that could affect that feature from operating correctly. I was surprised but they offered nothing more.
At home I researched causes and decided that the battery was the most logical culprit. My battery minder confirmed that short trips brought the charge down to 52%. Once charged, the feature is back working.
