2007 Chrysler Town And Country

PRETTY MUCH EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR, I WILL OCCASIONALLY BE DRIVING AND BUMP THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, TURNING THE VAN OFF ALTOGETHER. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WITH THE ENGINE OFF, SO I HAVE TO TRY TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND CAREFULLY NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PUT THE VAN IN "PARK" AGAIN SO THAT I CAN RESTART IT (I CAN'T RESTART IT WHILE I'M STILL MOVING). I AM VERY, VERY CAREFUL TO TRY TO NEVER EVEN TOUCH THE KEY WITH MY KNEE SO THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, BUT IT STILL DOES OCCASIONALLY. *TR
