Does starting a car more than 10 times a day have any impact?

Frequent engine shutdowns and restarts can cause some degree of damage to the car, primarily affecting the starter motor and battery, along with several other hazards such as loss of brake assist, loss of power steering, or heavy steering. Specifically: 1. Spark plugs may lose their ignition capability. 2. The throttle may malfunction. Both of these issues can lead to engine shaking and unstable RPM. 3. Carbon deposits can cause incomplete fuel combustion, resulting in engine shaking. 4. Overloading the transmission can degrade the quality and frictional properties of the transmission fluid, increasing friction and wear. This leads to transmission noise, and sludge (impurities or dirt) may also form inside the transmission (e.g., in the valve body), causing symptoms like jerking, gear slippage, impact, slipping, stalling, abnormal noises, delays, overheating, and oil leaks.
