Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT REAR PASSENGERS HAVE NO PROTECTION TO PREVENT THEIR HEADS FROM HITTING THE REAR WINDOW OF THE TRUCK IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR COLLISION. THE REAR SEATS HAVE NO HEAD RESTS AND THIS IS A FULL 4-DOOR VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT FORD IS NOW EQUIPPING NEWER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR WITH REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS. THIS IMPLIES THAT FORD APPARENTLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD EXISTS SINCE THEY CHOSE TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT WITHIN A SINGLE MODEL YEAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE RETROFITTED WITH THE NEW REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS AT NO COST. *AK
