Headrests on rear seat are not installed. Vehicles built after dates in november 2000 were equipped with the headrests. Back seat passengers have no protection during a rear end collision. My vehicle should be retrofitted with the headrests at the manufacturers expense.

My ford f-150 supercrew 4-door pickup truck does not have head restraints in the rear 60/40 split bench seat. This is a safety concern as rear seat passengers will hit their heads on the rear glass in a crash. New trucks of this model are now redesigned and have rear head restraints. Models manufactured earlier do not. When i called ford customer service to complain of the safety concern of having no rear head…

Head Restraint
2001 ford f150 supercrew purchased in march 2000 does not include headrests on the rear seats (60/40 split bench). Two passengers traveling in my back seat and wearing their seat belts violently struck their heads against the rear window during a sudden stop. Ford has installed rear headrests halfway through this model year. I feel a recall is warranted. *ak

I ordered my f-150 supercrew in august 2000. The truck was built in late september and i took delivery in the first week of october 2000. Although my truck was sold as a 2001 model, ford has subsequently made two critical safety modifications in the 2001 supercrews that were produced after my build date. The "latest" 2001 model includes rear seat headrests and child seat anchors in the rear seats. As noted in my…

Purchased truck new on 11/20/00. Rear seat has no head rest, which will cause some serious head injuries in an accident. Did not realize the seat had no headrest until after the purchase. Talking to other owners, i have learned that ford motor company is now installing seats with headrest. If this was not a safety issue, why would ford motor company redesign the rear seat at mid year.i understand that ford is not…

Rear passenger seats in my f150 supercrew has no head protection for my passengers. Passengers head are not protected during sudden stops or wrecks. I was forced to break suddenly to avoid an accident. My rear passengers head smacked the rear window causing one person minor head injury. I don't understand how ford is allowed to produce such a safety hazard to its passengers. I would like ford to provide rear seat…

Recently purchased this vehicle and noticed that rear passengers have no protection to stop their heads from hitting the rear window of the truck in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Had a need for a sudden stop with a passenger in the rear with this occurring. No injury occurred this time. Have noticed ford is now equipping new vehicle with head rests. Is this a known safety hazard that needs addressing? I…

The newer models have the rear head rests. Obviously, ford recognized the problem. Only a matter of time until a fatality due to this unbelievable safety oversight. No head rests? If that's not a substantial safety risk that poses a real and present danger to the public and that deserves our government's attention, then what's the point of the nhtsa? Thank you. *ak

Head Restraint
The early 2001 model f150 supercrew pickups came with a lack of headrest for the rear seats. I have carried passengers in the back seats and they all have expressed the concern that their heads rest against the rear window. In the case of an accident, their heads would hit the rear window and could cause serious injury. The newer model 2001 supercrew pickups have the rear head restraints in place. *ak

This is a new four door model ford pickup truck with a full size rear seat. The problem is that the rear seat does not have any head rests/restraints on the back of the seat. During a fast stop or accident passengers in the back seat will strike there head on the back window causing serious injury. Ford has just changed the truck design to include head rests/restraints on its f150 supercrew but will not…

NO REAR HEAD RESTS ON THE FORD SUPERCREW.*AK

Head Restraint
Rear seats have no head rests. The glass for the rear window is only inches from the back of a persons head. Since customers purchase these four door pickups to carry more than two people, the chance of someone striking there head on the glass seems be more likely than in extended cab pickups. It is my understanding that ford is now putting in rear seats with head rests. What about updating those w/out them?*ak

There are no rear headrest in the early models of the supercrew. Ford did place headrest in the same production year after they realized it was a safety issue. I hope that nhtsa can put pressure on ford to recall those seats that were manufactured without headrest. *ak

Head Restraint
The seats , the rear in particular , don't have head restraints. In the event of a rear end collision the rear seat occupant's head could break the rear window and strike the metal sill resulting in severe head injury. Ford has addressed this problem in the f150 supercrews built after 10/2000 but hasn't done anything for those who purchased vechicles built prior to the production change. *ak

Rear seats came without headrests, passengers in a crash would hit their heads against the rear window. Even a small child (mine is 9yrs) would hit their head against glass. I understand the newer made trucks come with headrests.

Rear bench seat has no headrests. It is just a matter of time before someone is injured / killed because of this oversite. Reccomend forcing manufacturer (ford) to retrofit older models with the seats which are currently being shipped with supercrew trucks. *ak
