Driver/passenger headrests have staples at bottom & they are coming out. Part of headrest is sewn. Bottom of headrest is not coming apart even though it was losing staples. Have not taken vehicle to dealer. Had contacted dealership & was informed to bring vehicle in to be checked. Took vehicle a few months later, and representative checked it out. Took down some information & nothing else.
