Front seat headrest
Within the last two months, both of my front headrests
have now broken off. There are no children, pets or adults
abusing them. The passenger side barely gets used. I
have not been in an accident. Is there anyone else
experiencing a similar problem?

Yes both of my front headrests broke off too from my 2011 Sorento! They broke within a month apart. I hardly ever have a front passenger so the wear is very little. I’m not sure how to get these fixed.
efectivamente mi reposacabesas tambien esta roto tampoco se como arreglar el problema
My passenger side headrest came apart too! Is this a common problem?
Yes, both our headrests broke off too. Totally NOT happy.
yes - 2011 Sorento passenger headrest has broken off without provocation
Both of mine also fell off! Sounds like a common problem! Replacement seems to be about 250.00 bucks! Any other suggestions?
Mine broke off on my 2013 passenger side. Kia wants to charge me $500 because they have to replace the whole think and can't or won't just replace the broken clips
Hey folks, I had the same issue with my wife's car and it turns out it's not too difficult to replace the active headrest assembly (even though Kia says not to do it). I had to fiddle with it for about an hour, but the actual procedure only takes a few minutes. Go to a junkyard and watch this video for how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GlDu6_-ADA
