I have ran into this issue twice in a 18month period and I believe it is something the NHTSA should institute new requirements on car manufacturers.   My wifes BMW X3 start stop technology has failed twice in 18months and that is not a big deal. Things break and need to be repaired but given the car can not be put in neutral it left us stranded unable to move the vehicle in the middle of the road until a tow truck could move us out of the road.  I could have easily put the car in the neutral (if allowed) and pushed the car off to the side of the road out of traffic.  Luckily in both occasions a police officer pulled up very quickly and was able to alert traffic there was a vehicle stopped in the middle of the road.  I want you to imagine being in stop and go traffic on highway 95 and this happens.   Then the traffic actually dissipates and your vehicl is in the middle lane on hwy 95 unable to be moved until a tow truck arrives and now the traffic is going 65-70 mph.  The BMW X3 can not be place in neutral unless you go underneath the car in some sort of service panel.  I do not believe given the mandate of auto-stop start on these new cars coupled with the inability to place cars into neutral is a good design point and I would hope the the NHTSA would mandate cars be able to put cars in neutral to avoid potentially catastrophic accidents on the highways across America..","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X3","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
