Hello folks .. I bought my CLA 250 last month and have already driven more than 2000 miles. Every thing is awesome except the Start/Stop mode which is on by default. I can literally hear and feel the engine kicking in after I take my foot of the brake. This gets really annoying and noisy.

Is any one else also having similar issues. Is it how it is or something wrong with my car. And is there a way to turn it off permanently.

not an issue - as designed

even when i had my prius, it would kick a little when restarting and it doesnt even have a starter!

Sounds normal to me. It was annoying to me at first but I've gotten use to it.

I'd have to hear it. The start/stop on a new Chevy Malibu was pretty quiet.

I have driven 2 other cars with start/stop and the CLA seemed no different. Or at least mine didn't. The cars I drove were a Passat and a Tiguan. Both were diesels with 5-speed manual transmission.

just turn it off.

Thanks guys .. looks like I better get used to it or get used to turning it off each time I start the car. But .. really it wasn't necessary or at least they could have given a provision to have it turned off by default.

That's what I do, it like a habit now --- get in, start car, turn off Eco button then shift to drive and enjoy
