Escape 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 8,500 miles
The contact states the head restraint posts on the front seats are dangerous. There is no padding to cover the metal posts in the back of the seat. In the event of an accident the rear seat occupants would not have any protection from the metal posts. The service dealer said this is the design of the cloth seats in this type of vehicle.
