Spend your time blaming the EPA for Auto Stop Start.

I blame the manufacturer because they are the ones fighting for top slot on the MPG sales sticker to attract eco buyers. Lots of cars sold today do not have that feature.

The best way to make your battery live a longer life as well as your starter is to disable the AS&S each time you drive. Its the dumbest feature ever and doesn't really save much gas anyways

Every time the engine shuts off, the oil drains to the sump. Every time it starts, the oil needs to be pulled from the sump and pumped back to the engine. That two seconds of low oil for 30 times a day cannot be good for your engine. Do yourself a favor and buy one of those auto start relays that keeps your auto-start-stop in the "off" mode.

Yes. I believe this "feature" was started in Europe.

I have a 2020 Expedition and all of a sudden, my auto shut off is not working. What might have happened to cause this?

You were cursing under your breath at the silliness of the system, and it was mistaken for a prayer, which was answered.
But trying a new battery would be a good idea. You will lose other functions, like your rear door unlock sensors and Interior lights will go out in just a few seconds instead of 10 minutes.
