Description of the problem	When going above 50 miles per hour, specifically on highways, as soon as i hit a large bump in the road, the key "bumps" out of the on position and into the off position. As a result, i loose power steering, brake assist, lights, turn signals, and all other power. I am able to put my 4 way flashers on and steer off the road, restart the car, and get back on the road. This has happened multiple times. The most recent was yesterday when going 70 on the highway while being tailgated by a tractor trailer. When the key slipped, i was almost completely taken out by the tractor trailer. This issue is a known recall; however, when reaching out to jeep and other local dealerships, i am being told that the part is not available. They are not offering any solutions to remedy the issue in the meantime. I was told that if i wanted a rental, it would be out of pocket. It is not safe to drive my kids around or commute to my job an hour away from home. Jeep does not have an estimated time of when the part will be available.
