No rear head rests on the ford supercrew.

Filed Aug 3, 2001 · Seats · NY

Rear seats have no head rests. The glass for the rear window is only inches from the back of a persons head. Since customers purchase these four door pickups to carry more than two people, the chance of someone striking there head on the glass seems be more likely than in extended cab pickups. It is my understanding that ford is now putting in rear seats with head rests. What about updating those w/out them?

There are no rear headrest in the early models of the supercrew. Ford did place headrest in the same production year after they realized it was a safety issue. I hope that the federal safety agency can put pressure on ford to recall those seats that were manufactured without headrest.

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.

Safety issue with seats in supercrew having no headrests.

There is a metal part in bite of seat. When having the hand there and having someone fold seat down, hand can be cut due to non covered parts.

There is a part in bite of seat that is not covered. When consumer had his hand in the bite, and his wife put seat down, non covered parts almost cut off consumer's finger. *ak the split bench seat would fold forward quickly if the release is pushed down. This is dangerous because it can cause injuries.

Headrests on rear seat are not installed. Vehicles built after dates in november 2000 were equipped with the headrests. Back seat passengers have no protection during a rear end collision. My vehicle should be retrofitted with the headrests at the manufacturers expense.

The seats , the rear in particular , don't have head restraints. In the event of a rear end collision the rear seat occupant's head could break the rear window and strike the metal sill resulting in severe head injury. Ford has addressed this problem in the f150 supercrews built after 10/2000 but hasn't done anything for those who purchased vechicles built prior to the production change.

Rear seats came without headrests, passengers in a crash would hit their heads against the rear window. Even a small child (mine is 9yrs) would hit their head against glass. I understand the newer made trucks come with headrests.

Seats are manufactured without any type of back support, after driving a bit circulation in legs is cut off, very uncomfortable to drive. Also seat is already coming apart.

Rear bench seat has no headrests. It is just a matter of time before someone is injured / killed because of this oversite. Reccomend forcing manufacturer (ford) to retrofit older models with the seats which are currently being shipped with supercrew trucks.

Ford's redesign of the backseats to now include headrests seems to point out the lack of adequate safety to rear passengers I earlier supercrew pickups.

Rear seat do not have headrest and are very close to the rear window. A sudden stop will cause the rear passengers to hit there head on the rear window. I purchased my car in novermber and never was offered the option of getting a headrest option which I would have purchase.

Ford has added head restraints in the middle of a model year. If they beleive there is a safety need for these they should be offered to owners who purchased vehicles in the same year.

No headrests in rear seat area. Safety issue!!!.

Filed Dec 21, 2000 · Seats · WA

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. Ford has recognized this deficiency and has re-designed both front and rear seats mid-year to provide better protection. 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.

2001 ford f150 supercrew purchased in march 2000 does not include headrests on the rear seats (60/40 split bench). Two passengers traveling in my back seat and wearing their seat belts violently struck their heads against the rear window during a sudden stop. Ford has installed rear headrests halfway through this model year. I feel a recall is warranted.

Newer 2001 models now have rear seat head protection, would like to see the same safety equality.

This vehicle has a rear seat that does not have head rests to protect rear seat passengers from striking their heads on the rear window in a crash. I understand that ford has redesigned the seat to include head rests. This is a safety issue, and I feel that ford should consider modifying the seats of first generation 2001 supercrew models.

If this is not a safety concern, why has ford made the change in the middle of a model year? Why are they keeping quite about it? I very concerned since the reason I bought the truck was I needed a way to carry friends, family, and business associates as well as cargo. Now I have to worry that in a front or rear impact collision passengers in the back seat would most likely put their heads through the rear window.

I have a concern regarding the lack of rear passenger head restraint. In the event of a collision there are no provisions to prevent the rear passenger's head from impacting the rear glass. The manufacturer knows this is a problem as evidence in a mid year change to include head restraints for the rear passengers.

The early 2001 model f150 supercrew pickups came with a lack of headrest for the rear seats. I have carried passengers in the back seats and they all have expressed the concern that their heads rest against the rear window. In the case of an accident, their heads would hit the rear window and could cause serious injury. The newer model 2001 supercrew pickups have the rear head restraints in place.

My previous crew cab ford pick up, a 1996 model, has rear seat head restraints. After purchasing this new ford crew cab pick up, an 2001 model, I noticed no head restraints for rear passengers and am very concerned a family member or friend head will smash rear glass in an accident. Please help as I know the rear window is inches from rear passengers heads and if I am rear ended the rear passengers heads will be smashed into the rear window. Why has ford not supplied rear head restraints on this truck when they did on the other? Please help!

Rear seats in the suprecrew model purchased do not have headrests. As a result any minor involvement in an accident with people in the rear seats will result in injury to passengers in those seats. Same model year trucks produced recently after mine was purchased have the headrests installed.
