Came off the motorway on a very wet morning with eco- program and Start/Stop activated. Stopped at traffic lights, the engine stopped as expected when the brake was applied. Lights changed,released the brake, engine didn't start. Shifted into park position and applied the parking brake. Put foot on brake and attempted to start on the button a few times but it would not start. Decided to open the drivers door

slightly thinking it might reset the system . Closed the door and tried again. Didn't work for first couple of attempts but finally started but the engine seemed to misfire and was quite noisy and lumpy. Drove off and everything returned to normal. Haven't trusted the Stop/Start system since and have switched it off when I remember to. Has anyone had this happen please?
