| Investigations Summary: | The office of defects investigation (odi) has received at least 32 complaints alleging that while driving, the operator's knee/leg can inadvertently contact the ignition key fob/chain causing the ignition switch to be turned to the off or acc position in the model year 2006-2007 Jeep commander and 2005-2006 Jeep grand cherokee vehicles. This causes the engine to shut off, affects the power steering and brakes, and may potentially result in the vehicle's air bags not deploying during a frontal crash that would normally warrant deployment. Odi has opened this preliminary evaluation to evaluate the scope, frequency and consequence of the alleged defect. The odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi. NHTSA. Dot.
