When i called ford customer service to complain of the safety concern of having no rear…

This vehicle has a rear seat that does not have head rests to protect rear seat passengers from striking their heads on the rear window in a crash. I understand that ford has redesigned the seat to include head rests. This is a safety issue, and i feel that ford should consider modifying the seats of first generation 2001 supercrew models.

I have a concern regarding the lack of rear passenger head restraint. In the event of a collision there are no provisions to prevent the rear passenger's head from impacting the rear glass. The manufacturer knows this is a problem as evidence in a mid year change to include head restraints for the rear passengers.*ak

Rear seats in the suprecrew model purchased do not have headrests. As a result any minor involvement in an accident with people in the rear seats will result in injury to passengers in those seats. Same model year trucks produced recently after mine was purchased have the headrests installed. *ak

The rear seat in my 40/60 split seat have no head restraint. A rear end crash would let the rear passengers head hit the rear window. For now puts a seat with head restraints in the new vehicles. They should recall the older 2001 supercrews and put in the new seats.

The rear seats have no head rests and this is a full 4-door vehicle. I also have noticed that ford is now equipping newer vehicles of the same model year with rear seat head rests. This implies that ford…

My complaint is with the rear seat headrests or lack of. My 2001 does not have headrests. Since then ford has added as standard equipment rear seat headrests. I am concerned about the safety of the rear seat passengers. If ford felt that they were neccesary on newer 2001s perhaps it is neccesary on mine also. I would like ford to tell me why they made this change mid year if not for safety reasons. *ak

Head rests have been installed on newer models of the same, i feel that ford should recall my truck and others of the same year (2001) and update our rear seats to have headrests. I beleive that the headrest were installed by ford for the prevention of a passenger's head be put thru the rear window. This is definitley a problem that ford saw coming and decided to include the headrest on the newer version of the same…

My early built f150 supercrew did not come with rear seat headrests. It has come to my attention that the newer supercrews do come with headrests. As we all know, headrests are extremely important in crashes to prevent injuries, and i think ford has realized that in the supercrews, so they put them in the newer ones. I believe ford should have the responsibilty to replace the seats of all supercrews that did not…
