  • Head Restraint

    If i'm involved in a rear end type of crash where i'm hit from rear i'm concerned that my rear seated passengers head may hit the rear window glass because of a flaw in design of rear seats not having a head rest.

    I believe the new change to the mid-model f-150 supercrew's rear seat, by adding the head restraint is a great idea and should be retrofitted into the older models which were not equipped with those restraints. Sitting at the height in which the seats are constructed can (and does) result in the head striking the rear window upon acceleration and when whipped back in a sudden braking incident. To prevent any form of…

  • Head Restraint

    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

    Rear seats do not have headrests or any type of head support. The rear window glass is immediately behind the seats. Rear seat passengers can hit their heads on the rear window. Ford has added headrests to current production vehicles so they obviously agree with this major safety concern. I feel ford should recall all 2001 f150 supercrews and change the rear seat to the current seat they are now using.

    Ford motor company is now installing rear seats with head restraints. I am concerned that the alack of rear seat head restraints is unsafe and will likely cause more injuries and possible death in a major crash.

  • Head Restraint

    Lack of a head restraint for the rear seat passengers. On occasion it is possible for an occupant to hit their head on the rear window. This is a severe safety concern. Ford has come out with a new seat design which includes head restraints. I feel they should retrofit earlier models built this year with the newer seats. Even if it were for the labor charge to change the seats. Thank you. *ak
