Consumer Description

I HAVE BUMPED THE KEY IN THE INGITION 3 TIMES WITH MY RIGHT KNEE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR AND IT SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING OR STADING AT A STOP LIGHT... I AM ALMOST 6 FOOT TALL AND MY SEAT WAS ADJUSTED PROPERLY. THIS REALLY CAUGHT ME BY SUPRISE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEND.. I WAS GETTING ADJUSTED IN MY SEAT AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY KNEE MUST HAVE BUMPED THE KEY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF... THIS HAPPEND 2 OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING.... I THINK THIS COULD BE A VERY SEROIUS PROBLEM. ALL 3 TIMES I SHIFTED INTO N AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR OF COARSE THE BRAKES AND STERING WERE NOT POWER ASSISTED... I HAD NO OTHER KEYS ON MY CAR KEY RING EXCEPT THE KEY LESS REMOTE WHICH WOULD BE STANDARD TO HAVE ON MY KEY FOR THE CAR. *AK
