RENTAL CAR DODGE DART, RENTED ON 11/23. NOT SURE WHAT MODEL YEAR IT WAS. THE IGNITION SWITCH SHUT OFF TWICE OVER FOUR HOURS OF DRIVING IT. ONCE AS I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING SPOT AND ONCE WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 70MPH. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TRIED TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF AND NOTICED THAT MY KNEE WAS TOUCHING THE EXTRA KEY ON THE KEY RING, WHICH PUT A SLIGHT BIT OF PRESSURE ON THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, CAUSING THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF QUITE EASILY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED WHILE DRIVING, AND THAT THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT CURVED. OTHERWISE, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. HERE IS A VIDEO I RECORDED WHERE I REPRODUCED THE CONDITIONS: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=1L6PCZHWRRG

IN MID 2014, I WAS DRIVING THAT YEAR'S MODEL OF A CHEVY DART, RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE WHILE VISITING FRIENDS IN ARIZONA. ALONG HWY 17, THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF BRIEFLY. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON, BUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE GONE. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF, BUT I REMEMBER THE CABIN STILL HAD POWER BECAUSE I QUICKLY TURNED ON THE HAZARDS. I BELIEVE IT WAS A PLASTIC TURN-KEY, AND IT BEING REIGNITED, THAT ALLOWED ME TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT WAS A STEEP, WINDY ROAD. IT WAS ABOUT 10 AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DARKNESS WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.THERE WAS A BIG RIG IN THE NEXT LANE IN FRONT OF ME, AND HEAVY VEHICLES TO THE REAR. IT WAS DEFINITELY A CLOSE CALL.
