The rear passenger door (sometimes called the "suicide" door) on the ford f150 extended cab truck refused to open. Upon researching the problem it was found to be an ongoing ford problem since the 1990's. The child seats in the back would have been inaccessible in the case of an emergency. From the research it appears there have been many of these trucks affected. Thank you *tr

When adjusted according to the owners manual, head rests force the head towards the chin and are very uncomfortable. Dealer stated that this is the new safety design. Headrests are non adjustable. Also, they are very wide and, in conjunction with the frame post at the rear of the doors, create a blind spot on both sides of the pickup. *tr
