Consumer Description

RENTED 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE AT AIRPORT. DURING TWO STOPS AT INTERSECTIONS I REACHED TO SWITCH RADIO STATIONS AND ACCIDENTALLY AND LIGHTLY BRUSHED THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THEY SWITCHED TO "ACC" AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. WHEN I SAY "LIGHTLY BRUSHED" I MEAN JUST THAT. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL THE SECOND INCIDENT. TWO THINGS APPEAR DEFECTIVE: THE PLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION AND THE FACT THAT JUST A LIGHT TOUCH TURNS THE KEY OFF. HAD I DONE THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN INOPERABLE AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. *NM
