Consumer Description

THIS COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO ODI 10178480. THE ODI 10181086 COULD ALSO BE POSSIBLY CONNECTED. THE DESIGN AND POSITION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH IN 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IS SUCH THAT A SLIGHT KNEE MOVEMENT MIGHT TURN THE IGNITION OFF , RESULTING IN LOST OF POWER AND POWER STEERING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MOST RECENT ONE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-5 IN THE LEFT LANE AT 65 MPH, WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE RIGHT LANE. LUCKILY ENOUGH I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STEER LEFT ONTO UNPAVED MEDIAN AND STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. MERGING BACK FROM MEDIAN INTO THE LEFT LINE WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *JB
