Consumer Description

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. WHEN I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN OF THE SAFETY CONCERN OF HAVING NO REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS AND TO ASK FOR THE NEW REDESIGNED SEATS, THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SEATS. THEY ARE IGNORING OWNERS WITH MODELS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE NEWLY REDESIGNED REAR SEATS. *AK
