I tried turning my truck off approaching lights, it has electric power steering and the steering doesn't turn off with the engine - there's a 3-5 second delay where the power assist still works, then it just dies with no warning. Wasn't really expecting that! I thought the wheel had locked on me the first time it happened, it was very sudden and was considerably delayed from when the engine shut off.
There's also about a 5 second delay when the engine starts (if its warm) before the turbocharger is allowed to assist - I've tried starting it, putting it in D, and taking off immediately and rich, black smoke spews from the tailpipe like an old diesel (and it has no power).
I absolutely turn it off for trains! Hate those things. And drive thru windows. Still working on the right thing to do at lights with it.
It's an automatic with the auto-manual "SelectShift" that Ford is touting as the new "Manual" gear shift
