How about: hey, GM, get some designers and engineers who know how to do their jobs.

with enough swinging weight on them, I think it could happen in just about anything that has a traditional column or dash mounted rotary ignition switch. I figured that out with my first vehicle, and has happened in our international truck's also. I tell our drivers to have no more than a handful of keys on their keychain and nothing long or dangling.
In the international 8600's its actually pretty easy to bump the key with your knee and turn it off, its right in front of your right knee. Its also just as easy to reach down and turn it back on.
