1st time: Lost all power while in motion at slow rate of speed after my knee slightly bumped the key ring hanging under the ignition (knee did not touch actual car key). 2nd time: Lost all power while traveling at 80mph (speed limit in Utah) on interstate 15 in passing lane after knee slightly grazed the lower part of the key chains (knee did not touch actual key). Was able to restart engine quickly in both cases and was lucky enough to be on straight section of roadway at the time.

While driving my 2007 Jeep Commander, it will shut off. Other times the lights will flicker off and car seems to stall. This problem happens without any warning. It is very scary to be driving on the interstate and the car just stops!!! I have four children that I drive around, so this can not happen! I have read where there have been many complaints about this and nothing has been done. That is unacceptable because lives are at risk. I'm taking the vehicle in for the ignition switch recall, but I have read where that has not fixed the issue I am having.
Car won't start when turn key to start. All control panel light and audio works. When turn key back to off position transmission over temp message appears. Car had been sitting in garage for a couple of days. This third or fourth time this has occurred.
