2006 grand cherokee engine shuts down when the driver gently grazes the ignition switch. *kb the ignition switch is located low on the vehicle's dashboard rather than on the vehicle's steering column, where is has been located on previous models. The switch's new location resulted in frequent contact with the driver's knee, especially when the driver is moving his or her foot from the throttle to the brake. *nm
