This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
