Description of the problem | 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. *ak |
