There is a safety issue with the rear seats not having a head rest, the seats are to low and in case of an accident the passangers on the back are going to hit there heads on the rear window, I have too kids and I don't want for them to get hurt in case of an accident; it could be a severe injury in a rear end collicion. Thanks for your time.

The problem is that there is no support for the rear seats and during sudden stops rear passengers have hit their heads on the rear window. No summary listed for above vehicle.
- Woodstock, GA, USA
The rear seats in my supercrew do not have a head rest this would be dangerous in an accident to anyone sitting in the back seat.

Vehicle lacks rear seat head rests / head support. Any movement of vehicle causes rear seat occupants to hit head on the rear window.
- Yankton, SD, USA
Rear passenger seat headrests are inadequate. Rear passenger heads come in contact with rear glass. Defect corrected in late model year of vehicle.
- Mechanicsville, VA, USA
Ford has updated the rear seats with head rests in later 2001 modles. The earlier models should be retrofitted with these head rests too. It's a major safety issue.
- Roswell, GA, USA
I am concerned with the safety factor of the lack of rear seat headrests. After 6 months of sales of the new supercrew model, Ford altered the design and now has headrests. I am interested in a retrofit kit from Ford that adds headrests.
- Mclean, VA, USA
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.

Complaint on the lack of headrests on the early 2001 models. Later models have them and I am concerned.
- Santa Clarita, CA, USA
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.
- Mansfield, TX, USA
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.

Rear seats need headrest. Standard on trucks now. Big concern.
- Easton, PA, USA
Rear seat has no head rests, potential problem with whiplash or injuries resulting from an accident.
- The Woodlands, TX, USA
There is no head restraint on back seats. In a sudden stop or frontal collision, back seat passengers heads will be making their way through the back glass to graphic, if not violent death.
- Frisco, TX, USA
Lack of rear head rests/ restraints could cause head to hit rear windshield.
- Agawam, MA, USA
2001 new vehicle no rear seat head restraints newer models have them same year 2001.
- Chesapeake, VA, USA
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.
