I hate this feature. It's the only thing I found about the car that I truly dislike. It has caused me to stall as well.

I also do not like this feature. I had it on several Subies in the mid 80's but it seemed to release the brakes as I engaged the clutch. The camaro is definitely not doing that- or releasing with accel. I have stalled multiple times- defeating the purpose of the feature. I have learned to not put it in gear while the brake is on, similar to what Rockamakis is doing above. This needs to be addressed by GM. I still love this car, though.

Another bay area driver here. Some of those inclines in SF is just ridiculous. I swear, a few were 60 degrees or more. Trust me, on those you need the hand brakes. I also hate people that rid your ass on tjose hills. It's obvious those idiots knows nothing about manual transmission cars. IMO the hill assist would hinder me as I have been driving stick since I began driving so I can get on the throttle in less than 1 second. But for some people that don't have fast footwork, I can see it as a very good thing. IMO there should be a switch to turn it on or off.

My RX350 has hill hold assist. However, you have to activate it yourself by pushing the brake pedal extra hard while stopped. The car will beep and the hill hold light will start flashing on the dash. These functions should not be automatic.

You have to actively push a button down on the lower left side of the dash of my wife's Subie in order to turn that one on.

Whats the difference in this system compared to others? Had a 335 with it that functioned automatically and worked without issue for the 3yrs we had it. Yeah there a few molehills here believe it or not.

I don't stall when it engages, but it certainly puts more wear on the clutch. I get a little jerk when the brake disengages as well. I wish there was a way to disable it.

It may be something that's subject to some tolerance, with some individual cars being worse than others about getting in the driver's way. Or perhaps not being compatible with the use of only minimal throttle to get rolling. I don't think it's just the Camaro or just Chevy. Any sort of electrical or electronic brake release feature is subject to not working well with at least some drivers. Although the system details likely differ, the hill assist feature in my wife's Subie is decidedly lazy in letting go. And after driving stick-shift cars for nearly 50 years I've managed on several occasions to stall that car when the [related] electronic parking brake refused to release the brakes as fast as I was adding clutch engagement just to get out of my driveway.

this way, when you shift there is no lurching or jerking. this way, you do not have to use your brain to blip the throttle and match the revs yourself. I think this is an "improvement" but only if you can't drive. |
