Description of the problem	I have owned my 2007 jeep commander for about ten months now. The problem i have is when my knee bumps the bottom of the ignition key (turning it to the left, & shutting the vehicle off) which is unusually located at the bottom portion of the console (i guess this vehicle wasn't meant for tall people). When this happens the vehicle immediately shuts off, causing the power steering to shut off as well. This has happened four times now. The last time it happened was thursday, june 12, 2008 around 11:15 am. I was driving my 1 year old son to the babysitters house. My knee bumped the key as i was approaching a turn, shutting off the vehicle/power steering, so i kept going straight, and nearly crashed. Luckily, i slammed the brakes and stopped just in time. After this incident i realized how serious the problem really is. Although i have to drive it at the moment (backwards, so i can't afford to trade it in), i have become leery and uncomfortable with my commander because of what could happen to my child, me, or someone else if (or rather when) this happens again. I am now constantly trying to stay aware of where my right knee is at all times. Instead of reporting this to my dealership (i know they can't do anything about design flaws). I have decided to go straight to the nhtsa. Please help!
