Issue ID	1083904

Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	01/07/10
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving the ignition switch position turns to the accessory position. The engine initially turns off and then resumes running. The air conditioner turns off and remains off, the headlights flash on and off and then turn off, and all the dash lights flicker on and off several times and then they stay on as if in the accessory position. If i quickly and slightly turn the ignition key the car resumes a normal operating mode. I'm not sure what all else is turned off when this happens because i have not experimented with other electronics such as the windows, seats, etc. When this occurs. The problem seems to be caused if i bump the key ring with my knee or i hit a small bump in the road. At first the problem was intermittent and somewhat infrequent but over time the frequency has increased. As of late, this seems to happen about every time i drive the car.
