| Description of the problem | Lack of rear seat head rests in 2002 ram 1500 quad cab. Rear seat passengers seem to be at risk of a head injury in case of an accident. Rear seat passengers heads' are on the glass due to the lack of rear seat head rests. I believe there is enough of a safety concern to warrant the retrofit of the current year rear seat head rests into the 2002 model year vehicles to mitigate the obvious risk of head injury to rear seat passengers. *jb |
