Default Auto stop issues.

I know there has been posts about this before but They we’re a couple years old and didn’t actually say anything about a way to fix it. I am having troubles with my auto stop on my 2014 Chevy Malibu. When I stop at a light or stop sign auto stop kicks in (not everytime but enough for it to be a problem) and then it doesn’t want to restart. I’m wondering if there is a fuse for it I could remove or something? Main Battery is fine I just had it tested, and from my understanding the battery in the trunk wouldn’t have anything to do it with restarting. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

ps I don’t know **** about cars

Welcome from Florida. They are supposed to restart when you release the brake pedal. So I would check that first. Do your brake lights work?

I'd check the battery in the trunk to rule it out. You can defeat the auto-stop in three ways. Put the transmission into neutral; put it into the manual mode, or learn to feather the brake before you stop.

If you had your main battery tested by an auto store, they are notoriously bad in doing so. You need to have a professional technician for that. Do you know what Cold Cranking Amps your battery has left?
