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
2006 FORD ESCAPE XLT CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE SEAT COVERS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING OVER 70 MPH AND REAR WIPER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY**CC THE CONSUMER STATED SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE REST OF THE WAY TO HER DESTINATION, THE VEHICLE WAS RIDING ROUGH AND JERKING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A INOPERATIVE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL, DRIVE ROUGHLY AND JERKED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE ALSO WOULD SHIFT HARD AND LURCH FORWARD WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED. *JB
