Normal
This has happened to me more than once and I am getting tired of it. I have a MB keychain and ChargePoint mini card attached to the key. As I normally have kids in the back, I have the seat up so my right thigh is under the steering wheel but comfortable. I know that you are supposed to be back away from the airbag. So when I am parked at a traffic light and if the ChargePoint card is straight up and down above my thigh, sometimes when I lift my right leg to move from brake to accelerator, it literally torques the key and pops the ignition off. A couple of honked horns later, after I step back on the brake, put the car into Park, and turn the ignition, I am off. A little embarrassed but no damage. It has never happened thank goodness when I am driving at speed.So what to do, first I moved further away from the wheel. If that does not work, off with the ChargePoint card even though it is tres convenient to have it on the keychain.I just read in another post that the 2015 has a keyless ignition so they won't suffer from this form of user error. But you 2014 owners, beware of this kind of user error.
