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…

The 2001 ford supercrew does not come with rear headrests. There has been a few occassions where my passengers have bumped their heads on the glass panel just behind the rear seats.

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.

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.

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
