Description of the problem	Recently purchased this vehicle and noticed that rear passengers have no protection to stop their heads from hitting the rear window of the truck in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Had a need for a sudden stop with a passenger in the rear with this occurring. No injury occurred this time. Have noticed ford is now equipping new vehicle with head rests. Is this a known safety hazard that needs addressing? I believe so before someone is unnecessarily injured due to an inherent design flaw that ford apparently acknowledges by a new seat redesign. *ak
