REAR SEATS IN THE SUPRECREW MODEL PURCHASED DO NOT HAVE HEADRESTS. AS A RESULT ANY MINOR INVOLVEMENT IN AN ACCIDENT WITH PEOPLE IN THE REAR SEATS WILL RESULT IN INJURY TO PASSENGERS IN THOSE SEATS. SAME MODEL YEAR TRUCKS PRODUCED RECENTLY AFTER MINE WAS PURCHASED HAVE THE HEADRESTS INSTALLED. *AK

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS 1999 FORD F150 TRUCK IN JUNE OF 1999, WITHIN IN A FEW MONTHS THE TRUCK WAS REGISTERING MORE MILES THAN I HAD PUT ON THIS TRUCK. I RETURNED TO DEALER AND MADE COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEN I RETURNED TO DEALER WITH SAME COMPLAINT ON SEVERAL ORTHER TIMES. FINALLY I CALLED THE DMV OFFICE IN WHITEVILLE NC , THEY GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE QUALITY FORD CO. AND THEN QUALITY FORD REPLACED THE ODOMETER IN TRUCK. AT THIS TIME I WAS ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT TRUCK MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE ALWAYS TOLD ME THIS ON EVERY COMPLIANT I MADE ABOUT THE TRUCK. NOW TODAY 12-4-00 THE TRUCK IS STILL JUMPING MILEAGE , I HAD THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP IN NOVEMBER AND IT WAS THERE FOR TWO WEEKS, I FINALLY PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON 11-28-00 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK TO FAYETTVILLE NC AND THAT THE TRUCK DID JUMP MILEAGE WITH THE DRIVER AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE ODOMETER AGAIN, AND THAT THEY HAD ORDERED THE ODOMETER AND THAT IT WOULD BE IN ON FRIDAY 12-1-00. I CONTACTED THEM ON MONDAY 12-4-00 AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE TRUCK TO THEM ON THURSDAY 12-7-00 AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT THE ODOMETER IN ON THIS DAY AND REPLACE THE BACK WINDOW WHICH POURS WATER WHEN IT RAINS, BUT THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOTOR KNOCKING BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A CHARECTERISTIC OF THE MOTOR AND IT WOULD NOT HURT THE MOTOR. THIS IS NOT WHAT I PAYED FOR . I PAID FOR A NEW TRUCK AND I THINK I GOT A LEMON. I AMM TIRED OF CHANGING THE ODOMETER IN THIS TRUCK. I NEVER KNOW THE REAL MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY JUST PUT WHATEVER THEY THINK SHOULD BE ON TRUCK BACK ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS NOT RIGHT TO ME. ISN,T IT AGAINST THE LAW TO MESS WITH MILEAGE ON A VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT TO HIRE ME AN ATTORNEY AND GET MY MONEY BACK OUT OF THIS VEHICLE AND GET MY VEHICLE BACK THAT I TRADED IN ON THIS TRUCK ALONG WITH.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE REAR SEAT HEADRESTS OR LACK OF. MY 2001 DOES NOT HAVE HEADRESTS. SINCE THEN FORD HAS ADDED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT REAR SEAT HEADRESTS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS. IF FORD FELT THAT THEY WERE NECCESARY ON NEWER 2001S PERHAPS IT IS NECCESARY ON MINE ALSO. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO TELL ME WHY THEY MADE THIS CHANGE MID YEAR IF NOT FOR SAFETY REASONS. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT REAR PASSENGERS HAVE NO PROTECTION TO PREVENT THEIR HEADS FROM HITTING THE REAR WINDOW OF THE TRUCK IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR COLLISION. THE REAR SEATS HAVE NO HEAD RESTS AND THIS IS A FULL 4-DOOR VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT FORD IS NOW EQUIPPING NEWER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR WITH REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS. THIS IMPLIES THAT FORD APPARENTLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD EXISTS SINCE THEY CHOSE TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT WITHIN A SINGLE MODEL YEAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE RETROFITTED WITH THE NEW REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS AT NO COST. *AK
