| I would like to complain about the the height of the arm rest in my 2006 ford escape. i am a tall person and drive with the seat in the farthest rear position and find that i have to always raise up my arm and elbow in order to safely make a right hand turn. i feel that this creates a potential safety hazard and could cause an accident. i have looked for lower replacement armrests and have not been able to find something suitable to rectify this situation for me. *cn | |||
