SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
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

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOW INSTALLING REAR SEATS WITH HEAD RESTRAINTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ALACK OF REAR SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS IS UNSAFE AND WILL LIKELY CAUSE MORE INJURIES AND POSSIBLE DEATH IN A MAJOR CRASH. I FEE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPACE THE REAR SEATS WITH THE NEW MODEL SEATS CONTAINING THE HEAD RESTRAINTS. *AK

THE NEWER MODELS HAVE THE REAR HEAD RESTS. OBVIOUSLY, FORD RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A FATALITY DUE TO THIS UNBELIEVABLE SAFETY OVERSIGHT. NO HEAD RESTS? IF THAT'S NOT A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY RISK THAT POSES A REAL AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE PUBLIC AND THAT DESERVES OUR GOVERNMENT'S ATTENTION, THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE NHTSA? THANK YOU. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
I HAD EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF BRAKES ON THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO MANUFACTURES SERVICE REPRESENATIVE. I EXPLAINED I LOSS MY BRAKES FOR A SHORT MOMMENT AND THEN THEY RETURN. WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURANCE THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN PREVIOUS INCIDENCES. THEY CHECKED THE ABS SYSTEM FOUND NO ERRORS, THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES NO PROBLEMS. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, I HAD TO SPEEK WITH THE SERVICE TECH DIRECTLY GIVING MORE OF A DETAIL OF WHAT HAPPENS. THEY CAME BACK AND FOUND THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT (EXTREMELY RANDOM) FAILURE. THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR (NO PROBLEM). I CALLED FORD MOTOR DIRECT AND ASKED TO BE REFUNDED MY REPAIR COST BECAUSE I DID'NT THINK A MASTER BRAKE CYCLINDER SHOULD BE FAILING @ 38K. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND HAD NO OBJECTIONS, THEY AGREED TOTALLY (THEY PAID ME FOR THE REPAIR). A WEEK LATER, THIS MORNING I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A SEMI. THE END OF MY ROAD HAS A STOP SIGN CONECTING TO A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO USE MY BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP! THE BRAKE PROBLEM WAS BACK. THIS INCIDENT WAS THE WORST OF THE BRAKE FAILURES, I LITERALLY ALMOST GOT CRUSHED BY THE SEMIDID. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURES SERVICE REP. THEY TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE FIX WITH MASTER CYCLINER, OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT THE FIX. I ASKED WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE THEY HAD NO CLUE! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS MONDAY WITH THE SHOP TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND THE CAUSE ONE MORE TIME. I STRESS, THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN ONE LOSSES HIS BRAKES YOU LOSS TOTAL CONTROL. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE SOME WHERE. THANK YOU

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
THIS IS A NEW FOUR DOOR MODEL FORD PICKUP TRUCK WITH A FULL SIZE REAR SEAT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE REAR SEAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAD RESTS/RESTRAINTS ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT. DURING A FAST STOP OR ACCIDENT PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT WILL STRIKE THERE HEAD ON THE BACK WINDOW CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. FORD HAS JUST CHANGED THE TRUCK DESIGN TO INCLUDE HEAD RESTS/RESTRAINTS ON ITS F150 SUPERCREW BUT WILL NOT RECALL/REPLACE ALL THE REAR SEATS MADE PRIOR TO THE CHANGE. ALL F150 SUPERCREWS MADE UP TO APPROX. OCT. 2000 NEED THIS CORRECTION. CALLING FORD HAS NOT HELPED IN THE MATTER. *AK
