SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY: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. FORD HAS ADDED HEADRESTS TO CURRENT PRODUCTION VEHICLES SO THEY OBVIOUSLY AGREE WITH THIS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I FEEL FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL 2001 F150 SUPERCREWS AND CHANGE THE REAR SEAT TO THE CURRENT SEAT THEY ARE NOW USING.

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. WHEN I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN OF THE SAFETY CONCERN OF HAVING NO REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS AND TO ASK FOR THE NEW REDESIGNED SEATS, THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SEATS. THEY ARE IGNORING OWNERS WITH MODELS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE NEWLY REDESIGNED REAR SEATS. 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. I ALSO WISH TO HAVE NEW FRONT SEAT CAPTAIN'S CHAIRS FROM THE NEWLY DESIGNED MODEL'S FRONT SEATS. *AK

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

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
FRONT BUMPER BOLTS MISSING. FOUND RECALL 94S79 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. LOWER RIGHT BUMPER RETENTION CLIP IS BROKEN. CONTACTED VALLEY FORD. OASIS DID NOT LIST ACTIVE RECALL AGAINST MY VEHICLE. NO GREEN PAINT ON BUMPER TO INDICATE FACTORY CORRECTION. VALLEY FORD SERVICE MANAGER (VERY NICE LADY) INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL. SHE ASKED ME "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?". I TOLD HER "NEVER MIND I'LL FIX IT MYSELF". CHECKED ON PARTS AVAILABILITY WITH PARTS DEPARTMENT. PARTS AVAILABLE COST $1.03. PARTS MAN AND I BOTH COMMENT ON LOW COST. FORD USUALLY CHARGES AT LEAST $3/BOLT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT OASIS DID NOT LIST THIS VEHICLE IN RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURE IS EXACTLY AS DETAILED IN THE RECALL. *AK
