Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND RE-ADJUSTED MY SEATING POSITION. WHILE DRIVING, MY KNEE SLIGHTLY BUMPED THE KEY AND TURNED OFF MY CAR WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND COULD PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR. I THEN TESTED IT AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT AND I DETERMINED THAT MY JEEP SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME I MOVE THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
