Description of the problem	I bought my gd cherokee used with 71k miles. I just had my first oil change before heading out on a camping trip for the weekend. On the return trip, i had just turned onto the highway (55 mph zone). I am 6'4" tall. The previous owner was shorter than me. The seat was in the wrong position (i now know). While switching from gas pedal to brake pedal, my knee hit the key in the ignition. The car turned off. I immediately reached for the key and turned the car back on. It lunged the way a manual transmission dose when the clutch is let out too quick. I moved my seat back away from the wheel. Now i drive it from farther back, which means i need to sit up straighter, which means my head hits the ceiling often. I have the limited edition and i love everything about it except the seat can't go down far enough for me to drive it comfortable without turning the car off which has got to be horrible for the car.
