2001 Ford F-150 Seats Front Assembly Head Restraint Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	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.
