The Ford thing is interesting. That 3 week trip was to Poland. I got some sort of Toyota that shut down at every light and restarted when you hit the gas.
I was asked if it took a little getting used to.
Party, I answered. Having driven a Ford in the past, I was used to the stalling at lights. It was the start-up afterward that was new to me.

After years or 'trial and error' I finally found a way to keep my Toyota from shutting down/restarting.
When you approach a light, turn on the heat and A/C at the same time. Make sure your high beam and low beam are both on simultaneously, put on the LEFT turn signal and hazard lights. Crank up the stereo to 100 with anything but country music and finally put on the front and back wipers and continuously spritz them with washer fluid. This should solve your problem.
