KEY EASILY GOES BACK TO THE ACC (ACCESSORIES) POSITION AND SHUTS OFF CAR, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE KEY WITH MY HAND AND IT TURNED TO THE ACC POSITION AND SHUT OFF MY CAR. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY OR TURNING BECAUSE MY POWER STEERING INSTANTLY SHUT OFF. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS. I TESTED MY MOMS CAR AND HER HONDA DOES THE SAME THING BUT IT IS HARDER TO SWITCH BACK TO THE ACC POSITION. IS THIS NORMAL? I KNOW GM IS GOING THROUGH SOME DISCREPANCIES RIGHT NOW AND WAS WONDERING IF MY CAR WAS LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL.
