SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
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. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD TO DETERMINE A SUITABLE FIX. THROUGH MY RESEARCH, I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD HAS UPGRADED THE REAR SEATS (CURRENT PRODUCTION) HOWEVER MY UNIT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PRODUCED AND DID NOT RECEIVE THE UPDATED SEATS. PLEASE ADVISE.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
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 LITIGATION FROM AN ACCIDENT FORD MO. CO. SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND AMMEND THE SITUATION. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY: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. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED SINCE I HAVE TWO ELEMENTARY SSCHOOL CHILDREN THAT ARE MY MAIN PASSENGERS AND SINCE THEY CANNOT SIT IN FRONT OF TRUCK BECAUSE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CONCERNS. THANK YOU.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
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 BELIEVE SO BEFORE SOMEONE IS UNNECESSARILY INJURED DUE TO AN INHERENT DESIGN FLAW THAT FORD APPARENTLY ACKNOWLEDGES BY A NEW SEAT REDESIGN. *AK

FORD HAS UPDATED THE REAR SEATS WITH HEAD RESTS IN LATER 2001 MODLES. THE EARLIER MODELS SHOULD BE RETROFITTED WITH THESE HEAD RESTS TOO. IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE REAR SEATS NOT HAVING A HEAD REST, THE SEATS ARE TO LOW AND IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSANGERS ON THE BACK ARE GOING TO HIT THERE HEADS ON THE REAR WINDOW, I HAVE TOO KIDS AND I DON'T WANT FOR THEM TO GET HURT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT; IT COULD BE A SEVERE INJURY IN A REAR END COLLICION. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

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
