SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
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

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY: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. FORD ALSO REDESIGNED THE FRONT SEATS TO NOW INCLUDE HEAD RESTRAINTS INSTEAD OF THE OLD DESIGN OF TALLER INTEGRATED HEAD RESTRAINTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT I CANNOT ADJUST THE FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINT TO PROPERLY PROTECT ME IN A CRASH. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN, WHY HAS FORD MADE THE CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MODEL YEAR? WHY ARE THEY KEEPING QUITE ABOUT IT? I VERY CONCERNED SINCE THE REASON I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS I NEEDED A WAY TO CARRY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES AS WELL AS CARGO. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY THAT IN A FRONT OR REAR IMPACT COLLISION PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT WOULD MOST LIKELY PUT THEIR HEADS THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW.

TIRES
BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRES WERE ON MY NEW TRUCK AT TIME OF PURCHASE. I REPLACED THEM ON 09/20/97 BECAUSE THEY WERE BAD TIRES; THEY WOULD NOT HOLD AIR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAVE A PHOTOCOPY OF MY RECEIPT AND THE ORIGINAL TIRES IN MY GARAGE. WHEN I CONTACT BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A PHOTOCOPY RECEIPT. THE STORE CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE AN ORIGINAL RECEIPT. I FEEL THAT I AM ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT OF THESE TIRES BECAUSE I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER AND THE FACT THAT I COULD STILL HAVE THESE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, BUT DON'T BECAUSE THEY WERE DANGEROUS. PLEASE RESPOND. *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
THE EARLY 2001 MODEL F150 SUPERCREW PICKUPS CAME WITH A LACK OF HEADREST FOR THE REAR SEATS. I HAVE CARRIED PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEATS AND THEY ALL HAVE EXPRESSED THE CONCERN THAT THEIR HEADS REST AGAINST THE REAR WINDOW. IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THEIR HEADS WOULD HIT THE REAR WINDOW AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. THE NEWER MODEL 2001 SUPERCREW PICKUPS HAVE THE REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS IN PLACE. *AK

I FIRST DISCOVERED THE LEAKING REAR WINDOW A YEAR AGO( THE TRUCK WAS LESS THAN 2 YRS OLD) WITH 53000 MILES AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALER FOR 180.00 IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG IT WAS LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT THAT NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. THIS NEW LEAK WAS DISCOVERED YESTERDAY BY ME AFTER A CAR WASH AND IT WAS IN THE SAME LOCATION AS THE FIRST ONE. THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 84150 MILES. I WILL REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER TOMORROW 12/12/2000. THE CRACK IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SHEET METAL WAS DISCOVERED AFTER READING ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON A WEB SITE 12/11/2000 (WWW.FORD-TRUCKS.COM) IT WAS LISTED AS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 97, 98,99,2000 F150S.
