One problem related to front seat head restraint has been reported for the 1999 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While traveling on highway was cut off by another vehicle requiring me to heavily brake and sharply swerve to avert collision. Became immediately aware that headrests of front seats provided absolutely no (repeat no) injury (e,g. Whiplash) protection. When sitting in front seats the headrests cannot under any circumstances be positioned close to the head of the occupant. This, in turn, provides the perfect opportunity for severe injury such as "whiplash" to occur. Attempts to purchase safer replacement headrests from Ford and other automotive parts stores were unsuccessful as they were reportedly never manufactured.
