2001 Ford F-150 Seats

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?*AK

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. *AK

NO HEADRESTS IN REAR SEAT AREA. SAFETY ISSUE!!!.*AK

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. *AK

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 CHAIRS FROM THE NEWLY DESIGNED MODEL'S FRONT SEATS.

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.

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. 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. 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.*AK

2001 FORD SUPERCREW PICKUP TRUCKS LACK REAR SEAT HEAD REST/RETRAINTS. LETS FIX THIS BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER TIRE FIASCO. *AK

NEWER 2001 MODELS NOW HAVE REAR SEAT HEAD PROTECTION, WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SAME SAFETY EQUALITY. *AK

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. *AK

THERE ARE NO HEADRESTS FOR THE BACK SEATS. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE REAR PASSANGERS COULD SUFFER MAJOR HEAD INJURIES. *AK

REAR SEATS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE NO HEADRESTS. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS ADDRESED THIS WITH THEIR LATEST UPDATE OF THIS MODEL BY INCLUDING REAR SEAT HEADRESTS. HOWEVER, FOR BUYERS SUCH MYSELF WHO PURCHASED BEFORE THIS CHANGE, THE LACK OF HEADRESTS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN!!! FORD SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE! *AK

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW ON 11/20/00. REAR SEAT HAS NO HEAD REST, WHICH WILL CAUSE SOME SERIOUS HEAD INJURIES IN AN ACCIDENT. DID NOT REALIZE THE SEAT HAD NO HEADREST UNTIL AFTER THE PURCHASE. TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS, I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOW INSTALLING SEATS WITH HEADREST. IF THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY WOULD FORD MOTOR COMPANY REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT AT MID YEAR.I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING WHEN CUSTOMERS CALL THEM, HAD I KNOWN THAT THEY WERE INSTALLING A REDESIGNED SEAT WITH HEADREST IN THE NEWER TRUCKS OFF THE ASSY. LINE, I WOULD HAVE WAITED TO MAKE MY PURCHASE.

REAR PASSENGER SEATS IN MY F150 SUPERCREW HAS NO HEAD PROTECTION FOR MY PASSENGERS. PASSENGERS HEAD ARE NOT PROTECTED DURING SUDDEN STOPS OR WRECKS. I WAS FORCED TO BREAK SUDDENLY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. MY REAR PASSENGERS HEAD SMACKED THE REAR WINDOW CAUSING ONE PERSON MINOR HEAD INJURY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD IS ALLOWED TO PRODUCE SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD TO ITS PASSENGERS. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO PROVIDE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS TO PROTECT REAR PASSENGERS IN THE EVENT OF CRASH OR SUDDEN STOP. SMALL PICKUP ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE HEAD REST WHEN THE RIDERS HEAD REST CLOSE TO THE REAR WINDOWS. THIS IS A 2001 TRUCK WITH MAJOR DEFECT THAT COULD POSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS.

LACK OF HEADRESTS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. REAR OCCUPANTS PUT IN DANGER. MFR HAS SINCE REVISED DESIGN TO ADD THEM IN NEWER MODELS. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

MY FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 4-DOOR PICKUP TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE HEAD RESTRAINTS IN THE FRONT, OR REAR, 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEATS. 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. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN OF THE SAFETY CONCERN, OF HAVING NO FRONT OR REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS, AND TO ASK FOR THE NEW REDESIGNED SEATS, THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SEATS IN EARLY PRODUCTION VEHICLES. 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 SEATS FROM THE NEWLY DESIGNED MODEL'S. I INQUIRED AS TO WHY THE SEAT DESIGN WAS CHANGED, AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS INSTITUTE RUNNING CHANGES DURING CURRENT MODEL PRODUCTION IN THE NAME OF PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT. PERSONALLY, I FEEL THAT THE CHANGE WAS MADE TO CORRECT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF ALL ALONG. I WONDER IF THESE SAME PEOPLE WOULD LET THEIR FAMILIES RIDE IN A VEHICLE WITH THE "OLD" STYLE SEATS???

NO REAR SEAT HEADREST TO PROTECT REAR PASSENGERS IN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS RE-DESIGNED SEATS MID YEAR TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS 2 MONTHS OLD AND I DID NOT GET THE PROPER SEATS.

HEAD RESTS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON NEWER MODELS OF THE SAME, I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL MY TRUCK AND OTHERS OF THE SAME YEAR (2001) AND UPDATE OUR REAR SEATS TO HAVE HEADRESTS. I BELEIVE THAT THE HEADREST WERE INSTALLED BY FORD FOR THE PREVENTION OF A PASSENGER'S HEAD BE PUT THRU THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS DEFINITLEY A PROBLEM THAT FORD SAW COMING AND DECIDED TO INCLUDE THE HEADREST ON THE NEWER VERSION OF THE SAME YEAR FOR PRECAUTION..THIS TO ME SHOULD BE A RECALL BY FORD TO REPLACE MY PRESENT REAR SEAT WIHOUT HEADRESTS, WITH ONE THAT HAS THEM. THANK YOU. *AK

THE 2001 FORD SUPERCREW PICKUP TRUCK WITH 4 FULLSIZE DOORS DESIGNED TO SEAT 3 FULL SIZE ADULTS IN THE REAR. THIS TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR THE REAR SEATS.LATER MADE TRUCKS OF THIS SAME 2001 MODEL YEAR AND STYLE HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED TO INCLUDE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS. AND ALSO HAVE REDESIGNED FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS MADE CHANGES IN ITS LATER MANUFACTURED VEHICLES CONCERNING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. BUT WHEN YOU CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ADVISE THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THESE FRONT AND BACK SEAT ASSEMBLIES,IGNORING OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE AND CORRECT AN UNDER DESIGNED SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED BUY LATER MANUFACTURED VEHICLES. THANK YOU. *AK
