| Description of the problem | My 2006 jeep commander's ignition key is so sensitive to touch that if it is bumped while driving, the key turns the engine off causing the vehicle to shut down and making steering almost impossible. I have almost crashed coming of a highway and it has happened multiple times. I am 6' tall and when i move my foot off the gas the knee hits the key ever so slightly and the key switches off. *jb |
