Engine shuts down if I hit the ignition key accidentally

Asked by GuruW2Y89 May 22, 2018 at 04:19 PM about the 2016 Ford Fusion S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The engine on my 2016 Ford Fusion shuts down if I accidentally life my leg and it hits the ignition key.   This has happened three times at 70, 70, and 40 mph.   If I turn the key, the engine comes back on and it proceeds as though nothing happened.  What's going in?

Sounds like a issue with the ignition switch.

Thank you - and sorry for the typos... it's "lift" my leg, of course and it's "What's going ON."

Sounds like a problem you are causing by turning off the key with your knee

Thank you for the reply. Yes, that's the problem, but I would think there would be some kind of lock on the key to prevent such an occurrence.
