ECO Button

Has anyone else experience the engine not coming back on after brakes release. This has happened twice (so not leaving it on anymore) and once engine call back on but somehow now in park so engine raced until I noticed it? Appoint this Friday, hope it left some type code on computer, I am to stupid to remember to turn it off all the time because I am in a hurry to get the car out of the garage and on the road to have fun!

Yes, that behavior has been reported. Note that with the transmission in P, with ECO on, if you take off your seatbelt, that will shut off the ignition and you'll have to restart it.
Many of us never (or seldom) use ECO mode. Those of us with Dynamic mode tend to use it nearly all the time, and in 2014-2015 models, dynamic mode cancelled ECO. Not sure that's still the case.

The other ECO issue I've heard about is the car restarting, but not in gear. I'm usually in Dynamic mode (as DJS said), so I don't have a lot of experience with ECO, but the symptom is that the gear indicator on both the dash and shift lever flash "P." If you see it, go ahead and turn the car off and restart before the light turns green. Both are supposed to be software issues that are easily fixed by the dealer.

Switching to Sport mode also effectively turns it off even though the light may still be lit. In addition, just a single paddle downshift prior to stopping, even in auto mode, also precludes an Eco-mode shutdown. However, your paddles have to be enabled (in the steering wheel setting menu) in auto mode to make this work. Mine always are.
There are so many ways to keep the engine from shutting down at a stop, given the way I drive the car, I have to completely change my driving habits to see if it's still operational. Otherwise, I'd never see it.

That's been discussed ad nauseum. Yes, but lots of us don't want to. Plus, that only works if you have two batteries although on the single battery models there is a connector to pull that does the same thing.

If I don't want it to shut down at a stop and I'm in auto mode, I simply paddle one downshift, which temporarily defeats it regardless of what mode I'm in.

I don't regard it as a "mess" if it's working properly, and mine always does. I've never had any glitch. If I'm stuck in city or highway gridlock, I leave the car in standard auto and let it work. My car has always restarted instantly before I could get my foot back on the throttle pedal.
