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.
