Stop/start Vehicles Wear & Tear
Is there any indication that the increasing number of vehicles with stop/start systems are wearing out starter motors and flywheel ring gears at a rate to be concerned about? I'm sure that the cost of such replacement would offset the cost of the fuel saved.

not heard much but you will, something has got to give. Also, it is known that it takes at least 15mins to put back the charge needed for starting so surely these will just run down the battery in traffic. Incredibly bad silly unnecessary idea that does not save fuel. Mechanics shops love it, it gives them work, like the cam belt fiasco.
^^^several wrong, misinformed and silly answers above. All the "vunerable" parts are specially-designed and heavy-duty...even the battery. And lots of built-in safeguards to prevent battery drain (including regenerative braking).
I've had stop-start for well over three years on a new car...no problems at all.
