Do your headrests creep up?

I noticed this happening some on my 2010 but it is really annoying on my 2012. I have noticed every once in a while when I have leaned back in the seat I hear a click. I then notice the headrest is up higher than it was before. Does anyone else have this happen and can it be fixed?

Have you already checked with your dealership to see if they are able to see what the issue is? They should be able to correct it, if it is not supposed to be happening. On 3-2 in your owner's manual it states:

The height of the head restraint can be adjusted. Pull the head restraint up to raise it. Try to move the head restraint to make sure that it is locked in place. To lower the head restraint, press the button, located on the top of the seatback, and push the restraint down. Try to move the head restraint after the button is released to make sure that it is locked in place. The front seat outboard head restraints are not designed to be removed.

I hope this was helpful.

No I haven't taken it in yet, I was waiting for my first oil change and get it looked at at the same time.
I know they lock going down but they do not lock going up. After you release the button yu cannot push it down but you can pull it up. just about every car i have owned with adjustable head restraints work this way but only on my Camaros have they gone up on their own just by leaning back in the seat.

Ok, great! Please let me know if they were able to address this for you. It sounds like there may be something wrong with the lock because according to the owner's manual it should lock whichever way it goes.

Mine creep up too. There's no lock going up, only when trying to push them down.
