I own a 2001 ford f150 lariet off road pick up truck with a supercab. The rear seats in the truck do not have any headrests. My seven year old daughter constantly hits her head on the rear window because there is no headrest. I am very concerned about what could happen to her if my vehicle was struck from the rear with her in that seat. I can't allow her to sit in the front seat as of yet and can't find any headrest alternatives to correct the problem. I believe that this was a poor design by ford and I think they know it too since all of the newer models have rear headrests. I never even thought about it until after I purchased the truck. I just thought you should be aware of the problem and wondered if you had any similar complaints. Thanks!

I recently bought a 2001 ford f150 super cab truck,and I saw that it doesn't have any head retraints in the back seats,and also found out that there have been about four complaints about this matter and nothing has been done about it,also had my truck in the dealer shop for four days for a water leak,and was given to me,paid by the dealer a ford f150 super cab 2005 rental,until my truck was fixed,and I saw that this truck did have the back seats restraints,so I believe this is a very unsafe,not to have these restraints on these other year trucks.I hope that something can be resolve on this problem,because I have grandkids,and it could be very unsafe.and this my first time buying a ford.please reply to me soon.thank you very much.

A spring in the driver's cloth seat upholstery broke. The sharp, broken end of the stiff spring wire presents a real puncture, hazard to the driver's upper leg / thigh. I have experienced scrapes just entering and sitting in the driver's seat.

Bottom of the seat is at an angle where consumer is starting to have leg pain. Took to dealer for adjusting, but consumer feels it's a design flaw. Please provide any further information.

No rear seat head restraint in vehicle. Passenger riding in the back seat will impact rear window in the event of an accident.

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.

Rear seats have no passenger head restraint and I have concerns that in an accident passengers might be injured. Ford has recognized this design flaw in the newer vehicles of the same year model but will not correct the problem in existing vehicles.
