I’m sure this thread has been covered before but not finding what I’m looking for - anyways, earlier today, driving my Arona FR in town area at speed of around 25mph when suddenly, without any warning, the central dash area lit up and the vehicle performed a full emergency stop without me doing anything! There was nothing in front of me and nothing passed in front of the vehicle either - fortunately there was nothing behind me but I hate to think what might have happened if a motorcycle or any other vehicle for that matter were close behind! The vehicle cut out after braking. The only other issue I’ve had (2020 with 16,000miles) is the stop/start system cutting out periodically when going slow, especially over speed bumps. I took my car to the local Seat dealer straight away and was given a demonstrator for now. Is this a common issue, it certainly doesn’t give me any confidence in the vehicle for fear of it happening again! Technology is fine but definitely not at the expense of safety!!

Not had any issues with mine, set to Medium with the steering correction thing turned off as I find it mildly disconcerting.
Auto Stop/Start only works in certain conditions, so for example if it's cold, it won't function as stopping the engine could induce misting up. The owners manual lists all the conditions it might not work in.
I've owned 200k+ mile cars with Stop/Start and was still going strong on its first starter motor, things like starter motors and alternators last a lot longer these days.
