2014 NISSAN ALTIMA Exterior Lighting Problems

I am writing to formally escalate a serious safety issue with my 2014 Nissan Altima. My vehicle is affected by the known halogen headlamp delamination defect, which Nissan has previously acknowledged in a warranty extension and service campaign. Recently, because of the dangerously dim headlights, I struck a speed bump and damaged my vehicle. More importantly, I nearly hit pedestrians crossing the street because I could not see them in time. This is a life-threatening safety hazard directly caused by the defective headlamps. When I contacted my local Nissan dealer, they refused to honor the warranty/service campaign. I was told I would need to pay approximately $2,300 for repairs because the warranty extension expired in 2020. However, I did not begin noticing headlight visibility issues until 2022, well after the coverage period had ended. This demonstrates that the defect often develops after the expiration period and should still be addressed as a known, documented safety defect.

1. Component/System Failed: Halogen headlamp assemblies (low beams) malfunctioned due to delamination of the reflective surface, causing dimming. Available for inspection upon request. I have had the issue for years. Hard to see at night. 2. Safety Risk: Dim low beams reduce nighttime visibility, increasing risk of collisions. Using high beams to compensate may blind other drivers, creating further hazards. 3. Problem Reproduced/Confirmed: Not yet confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Issue matches known defect in 2013-2018 Altima halogen headlamps (TSB NTB15-111). 4. Inspections: No inspections by police, or insurance yet. I did have it inspected with the Santa Rosa California (Jim Bone) Nissan dealer inspection under Voluntary Service Campaign (PC861/PC890). That dealer said it was not bad however the headlights were bad before and after that so I believe they lied or didn’t test it correctly. That was in 2022 I believe. 5. Warning Signs/Symptoms: Gradual low-beam dimming noticed, first observed around 2017 perhaps. I just thought it was bad but it got worse. I saw in 2020 or 2021 some notice about a class action lawsuit (Suarez?) that Nissan lost so I tried to get them to fix it but they had various dates they said claims had to be done and it was confusing. I called Vallejo Nissan and they said I had to wait. Later it kept getting worse. No warning lamps; low beams too dim for safe driving, requiring high beams. 6. Description (if uncertain): Low beams are dim, compromising safe nighttime driving. Issue aligns with reported delamination defect in halogen headlamp assemblies. Exact onset date/mileage UNKNOWN. Sought dealers inspection for replacement under Nissan’s campaign but they didn’t take care of it. Nissan should be held responsible if any deaths, injuries or damages result from this issue. They should fix this asap! This is a major common issue you should already have on file.

My headlights are so dim, that I’m forced to drive with my high beams at night or not drive at all. I’ve replace the bulbs and there has been no improvement.

The headlights are extremely dim due to Nissan's design flaw. There was a settlement in 2022 to have these replaced for free. However, the Nissan dealership conveniently passed my headlights (as well as many others, as stated in online forums), and we were unable to qualify for the replacements despite the lights being so dim that I had to switch to my high-beam lights in many situations. Now, after the settlement has expired, Nissan has failed my headlights and is asking for $1360 to replace the assembly. I find this action from Nissan to be in bad faith.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at night, the headlights were significantly dim. The contact stated that the VIN was previously included in Nissan Campaign Number: PC807. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that an appointment could not be scheduled due to the pandemic. The contact stated that upon contacting the dealer later, the dealer informed the contact that the warranty extension had expired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure had worsened. The contact stated that he had installed an additional light bar on the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Hi. 2014 Nissan Altima S Problem is whith Low Beam light. At dark time this are no lighting enough putting in risk driving at night time.

Went and started my car and the air bag warning light on the dash came on. I am worried that the air bag won't deploy properly also when the lights are on dim they don't shine very good and the lens are cracked

Low beam headlights produce very little light. They do not illuminate the road, a safety hazard. Driving full time high beams is the only way to drive this car at night, a safety hazzard.

My headlights have not been working for about 2 years. It’s $1200 to get them fixed and I heard there had been a rebate if you pay for it Nissan will reimburse you but there’s no way I can pay $1200 for headlights. My family elderly and I have spent a lot of nights heading to an hospital with dim lights. I was working where I got off at 10pm but had to quit. I’ve been pulled over for three times for my headlights. Although I really think it’s the part behind the headlight they said was bad. You can’t drive safely at night. Nissan please fix!!!

The projector housing in my headlights has been determined to be defective and Nissan was sued because of this. However I have dim headlights on my vehicle which will cost me $1200 to replace and Nissan has told me that I am no longer eligible for a one time replacement. This is unfair in that I was never notified by Nissan about defective headlights which have deteriorated to a point where they are so dim it is unsafe to drive at night.

Headlights don't work properly. I can barely see beyond 2 cars lengths ahead of me unless using full beam. I realize that there was a voluntary recall issued in 2020, however, I am not sure that I was notified. The dealership examined car and noted the reflectors are delaminating, the pattern of which matches that of the recall. Since this is a design flaw I consider Nissan responsible and feel they should replace the headlights at no cost to me. I don't understand why the recall was voluntary and why it had a time limit. Functioning headlights are a necessity.

Lights are very dim no matter what kind I use on my head lights low beams

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT WITH MY DIM LIGHTS. I HAVE TO KEEP MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON TO BE ABLE TO SEE, THUS BLINDING DRIVERS DOING OPPOSITE DIRECTION . I RECENTLY WAS PULLED OVER BY STATE TROOPER, HE STATED THAT I DIDNOT TURN OFF MY BRIGHT LIGHTS AND THEN I SHOWED HIM MY DIM LIGHTS. HE STATED, OH, I SEE.... YOU HAVE NO LIGHTING ON THE DIM LIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST AT WAYCROSS WALKER JONES NISSAN BACK IN 2022. I WAS CONSTANTLY CHECKING BACK AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WERE WAITNG ON MORE HEADLIGHTS TO BE SHIPPED. WELL TODAY I FOLLOWED UP AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD, THAT NISSAN ISSUED A EXTENDED WARRANTY ON HEADLIGHTS BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2020!!!!! WHAT!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING ALL THIS TIME AND NOW WE ARE DOWN TO ONE VEHICLE, OUR NISSAN AND IT IS EXREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT!!! I WORK NIGHTS AND HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAM WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW!!!! WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!! I NEED TO GET MY HEADLIGHTS REPLACED ASAP FOR OUR SAFETY AND WE HAVE A GRANDBABY NOW,,,I CANNOT AFFORD TO DRIVE THIS WAY BUT AT MOMENT, THE NISSAN IS OUR ONLY WORKING VEHICLE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HELP SINCE 2022 AND NOW BEING TOLD I MISSED THE WARRANTY LAPSE OF WHICH I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS TILL TODAY NOW!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! I NEED THIS MATTER RESOLVED ASAP FOR OUR SAFETY AND SAFETY OF OUR GRANDBABY!!!!!

Low beam lights are very low and causes poor visibility at night and in hazardous conditions such as rain, etc. I can hardly see while driving at night because of the poor and low visibility.

I was driving on the freeway and my hood popped up and smashed my roof and everything inside the ceiling onto my lap. The lighting and visor broken. Roof and hood damaged. I luckily survived this. I am leading this car. I took it to Nissan when this happened. They said they’d fix it but it’s been months and now no answer.

The headlights of my vehicle are so dim I cannot drive the vehicle at night. This is a safety issue, why has there never been a recall on this problem?

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS EXTREMELY DIM

The lighting system on 2014 Nissan Altima completely failed to the point where we couldn't drive the vehicle at night. We were unable to see the road. While searching Internet for potential issues, we found out that Nissan settled a lawsuit regarding the issues related to failing headlight/delamination issue (Suarrez vs. Nissan, 1-855-786-0996). We were never notified of the issue or the opportunity to fix the problem. Please see your file MC-[XXX}. We were hoping to have this corrected, but Nissan refuses to cover the cost of repair, which was estimated at $1,575.58 by our local Nissan dealer. They claim that the deadlines no longer apply to our case. Any help is greatly appreciated since we are sure many other drivers are in similar situation, based on online forums and defect reporting.

The headlights are so dim that I have to use bright lights to see.

Head Lamps (Lights) stop working properly. New ballast and lights where installed after detected the Malfunction and still no lighting. I no longer can see when I'm driving at night. Yes vehicle have been inspected by police and dealer.

When driving at night or low light areas headlights are very dim. The road in front of vehicle is very dark I have use high beams to see.

My Altima is 9 years old now and I know things go bad overtime but my headlights are so dim I can’t see 2 feet in front of me at night snd it’s very very dangerous. I know Nissan had s class action and I was signed up and even had an appointment to fix but sadly my husband got shit while driving home from work in Chicago, he survived thankfully but the next several months revolves around him and doctor appointments, surgeries,etc… and I missed my slot. I think it’s very unfair because these we’re getting dimmer and dimmer since 2016-2017 with the past 3 years so fin you can’t see at all. I’m so afraid I’m going to be able to see and hurt someone badly, and that would kill me in itself!! I personally am not financially able to replace these yet bc it’s pubs 1500-3000 to fix if need be.

I tried to have my headlights replaced in 2020 but they told me to wait there was a lawsuit going about this. After it was resolved I had to go online and fill out some info to get on the list. Then I was told they had to order headlights for me. I had to call Nissan corporate office to get on the list. But still my headlight are not fix because they do not have headlights for me.

These lights are so dim, even after switching bulbs it’s like I have 2 iPhone flashlights on the front of my car, I can’t see anything at night without using my brights. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost crashed due to low visibility from these dim head lights. I think they have delaminated. No specific date of incident, everyday it’s an issue

The reflecting mechanism in the headlamps are causing the headlights to display a dim light. It makes it difficult to be able to see past about 5ft and extremely difficult to see at night, the vehicle has been inspected by a dealership and an auto shop. The problem started a couple months ago but there was no indicator or warning before the problem occurred.

I spoke with both the dealer (Coggin Nissan on Atlantic, Jacksonville, FL and Nissan this morning. Parts were ordered in August but as of today there is no indication as to when they will be available. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I cannot use this car safely between dusk and dawn.

My headlights started getting dim about a year ago. I took my car to Firestone and they replaced them. Just a month or so later, I found out that there was a recall in the works. I finally received notification of the recall. I took my car to Nissan of Rockwall and had it tested and was advised that it did meet the qualifications for headlight replacement. This was in June 2022. I was told that the headlights had to be ordered and I was on the list. I have called several times and have been told that I am still on the list and that due to supply chain issues, they still have not received them. My headlights are so dim, that if the street is not well lit, it is very difficult for me to see to safely drive. I don't have the funds to rent another car, but what am I to do if this continues. I will have to drive with my bright lights on. I drive to and from work in the dark every weekday.

The visibility of the headlamps at normal brightness are very dim. I have read about numerous lawsuits regarding this, including a class action, but when I have gone to the dealer with the information postcard that I received in the mail, I am told by Nissan that I am "outside of the window" to have them replaced with newer brighter lamps. Per the website for the class action lawsuit, it should be for 2013-2018 Nissan Altimas ([XXX], et al. v. Nissan North America, Inc., Case No.[XXX]) http://www.altimaheadlightsettlement.com/ I feel that Nissan is avoiding this issue, although there are MANY Nissan Altimas that have headlights that are not hardly bright at all. I personally had at least one issue with a deer strike that I believe could have been prevented if my headlights worked properly.

Headlight recall is not being done even though the dealership did the test and said lights failed. I'm on month 4 waiting for a replacement. Claim code# NIZ-11408256001-1145581. Dealership info: Five Star Nissan - 839 Warren Dr, Warner Robins, GA 31088.

My head lights are very dim and they often causes me to run off the side of the road and I can't see objects until they are right up on me.

Light is dim, tried to replace bulb several time. Please see Suarez vs. Nissan North America

The car has dangerously dim headlights. I can barely see ahead of me at night. I live in Florida and was driving in the rain at night (not by choice) and I had to go extremely slow because I could not see a thing. I contacted the dealer but they said I do not qualify for the headlight recall and I recently got the car serviced and my headlights passed inspection. However, I’ve read many complaints online from other owners with dim lights that Nissan dealerships are passing.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while her cousin was driving 50 MPH during the night, the low-beam headlights became inoperable.

There is a known issue with Altima headlamps that causes dimming of the lights. This resulted in a class action lawsuit. Though Nissan is making a test available to confirm eligibility for replacement, they are not providing a time frame for when they will provide dealers with parts to correct the issue. This is resulting in a severe inability to see well when driving at night especially if weather events occur and/or lighting of roads changes. I qualified, per dealer, for headlamp replacement but they cannot provide an ETA as to when the work can be done because Nissan is not giving them any sort of time frame. I have chosen to only drive roads I know during night hours, however, unexpected events like sudden rain showers or lighting being off on roadways unexpectedly - is a huge hazard and makes it difficult to see people, animals, and road markings. I am having to limit the use of my vehicle in order to drive safely, however there are times when unknown/unexpected circumstances beyond my control change visibility of roadways and the dim lights cause an enormous safety concern. That Nissan will not even provide an ETA on replacement headlamps is severely irresponsible and negligent. This is an ongoing matter and not limited to one specific date.

IT'S A ROAD HAZARD YOU CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW CAPACITY OF LIGHTING ON THE VEHICLE. THE LOW BEAM IS NOT ACTIVE DRIVING WITH A HIGH BEAM ON THE SHINES AS IF YOU HAD THE LOW BEAM ON. ON A VEHICLE AND HAVING TO CALL FOR A RIDE AT NIGHT. THE LIGHTING SYSTEM CLEARLY HAS SOME MALFUNCTIONING. NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM IT NOT THE BULBS IT IS ACTUALLY THE HEAD LAMPS

My 2014 Nissan Altima has dangerously dim headlights. At night driver and passengers cannot tell the lights are on. In foggy, rainy, and snow conditions at night, they are virtually useless. I have had new bulbs installed, which did not improve the problem. I have been told the problem emanates from a manufacturer defect in the headlight assembly. Both headlight assemblies must be replaced, which is very costly. This safety issue could cause a traffic accident. We often must turn the high beams on just to see the roadway. This could also cause another driver to be blinded.

The low beam headlights are almost non existent. The only way to get sufficient lighting for nighttime driving is to use the hi beam lights exclusively. There is no safe speed to operate vehicle with only the low beams. It is not an issue with bulbs, but rather the entire headlight assembly. I will put a date in the "additional details" box, but it is an issue that has been an ongoing degradation of the lights and not a date specific problem.

The headlights are failing. We have replaced the bulbs and it does not fix the issue. When driving at night, we must use the high beams. This issue is a hazarded and could lead to hitting an object in the road due to the failure of the head lights.

My headlights are dimming. I’ve had the bulbs replaced, my battery replaced and the wiring checked. No one can seem to find why these are dimming

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the contact noticed that the headlights were very dim, making it difficult to see the road.

WITH HEADLIGHTS ON DIM IT LOOKS AS IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON AT ALL VERY DIM TO NO VISIBILTY. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON BRIGHT.

Front lights very dim, cracked light covers

Headlights are very dim to the point it's a safety issue. Only getting worse over time and it looks like I have no headlights on . Have to drive with brights on to see road and other cars can see me .

Lowbeam headlight projector malfunction. Even with replacement, low beam lights are not lighting the road.

dangerously low headlight visibility. replaced headlight at Nissan a month ago and still dim headlight.

Head lights are not visible when on low beam at night

As many other complaints I have seen on here, the headlights on the car go dim over time. If we can switch the bulb, that would be great but that doesn't solve the issue. I can barely see at night when driving. I avoid driving at night because of that reason. The manufacturer should be responsible for replacing these for the customer. We shouldn't have to wait for someone to get hurt or worse before something is done about this.

Low beam head lights are not bright enough. I have replaced the bulbs 2 times, but no improvement at all. it is dangerous to drive with this light at nights.

The lights are horrible on a Nissan Altima 2014. I have changed the bulbs 3 different times and it does not help. I am forced to drive with my bright lights on just to be able to see. This is a huge safety hazard because I am not able to drive without them on bright so it blinds the other drivers but I have no choice.

When I bought the car the headlights were dim they driver side headlight keeps burning out they said it wasn't covered under the warranty whatsoever but yet you can't see at night to drive if it is dark I cannot drive my car never have been able to since about it but yet Nissan says nothing's wrong with it hit the repairs on me this is not the first time I've made a complaint about this but it does no good

Low beams are too dim while driving at night they look like they are practically not even on at all.

The headlights have deteriorated so badly that I cannot see to drive at night. A quick search online reveals this is a very common problem with this model. I bought the car new and it has been very well maintained. The reflective internal coating on the headlight assembly deteriorates apparently due to the high heat of the halogen bulbs. This is a tremendous safety issue. Please due the right thing and force them to recall these cars to fix this very dangerous situation.

Low beams are extremely dim, truly making this vehicle unsafe to drive at night and at night while raining and seems the only way to correct is to replace with the same projector lights which are still defective.

Low beam lights extremely low, I almost hit the median because I could not see it ahead at night , even when the low beam lights were turned on. I notice the low beam light are very dim and I often have to use the Hi beam lights to be able to see the road at night. This extremely low light issue has been going on for years even after I replaced the light bulbs with brighter light bulbs. The problem is really bad , both when driving in the city and driving on the road, .

The low beam lights offer NO light, which is extremely dangerous when driving at night and also in hazardous weather conditions. I can't see the road at all and am forced to use my high-beams. I have replaced the bulbs at least twice now and still no improvement. It is a critical issue Nissan needs to address because you can't see the road, other cars, wildlife, etc. They are putting everyone who has this model in life-threatening danger.

THE LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT ALL CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS ENDANGERS THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL.

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2013-2015 ALTIMAS. THE HEADLAMP PROJECTOR BOWLS DETERIORATE AND DO NOT PROJECT THE LIGHT CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EXPENSIVE BULBS TWICE WITH BRIGHTER BULBS AND THIS DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!!!

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE AREA ENOUGH TO SEE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

MY WIFE AND I STARTED TO NOTICE THE DIMNESS OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT IT BECAME MORE APPARENT WHEN WE DROVE THROUGH SOME BACK COUNTRY WITH WINDING ROADS FOR A WEEKEND GETAWAY WITH THE FAMILY. IT WAS STRESSFUL, SCARY AT TIMES AND OBVIOUSLY A HAZARD. I PRETTY MUCH HAD TO KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THE WHOLE STRETCH OF THE DARK ROADS ESPECIALLY ON SHARP AND BLIND TURNS. SINCE THAT EXPERIENCE, WE TRY TO STEER CLEAR OF TAKING TRIPS IN THE EVENING... BUT EVEN NOW ON REGULAR ROUTINE DRIVES ON FREEWAYS OR EVEN PULLING UP TO MY COURT THE DIM BEAMS ARE MORE OBVIOUS THAN EVER. I WENT TO GET MY OIL CHANGE SERVICE DONE TODAY, AND MENTIONED MY ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACEMENTS. THEY SUGGESTED RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE BUT IT WOULD COST $375 OR SOMETHING JUST TO DO THAT... I MENTIONED THAT THEY RECENTLY DID A DIAGNOSTIC (THAT I PAID FOR WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ANOTHER CONCERN I HAD WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT GOING AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND, JUST NEEDED TO TOP OFF THE BRAKE FLUID) SO I PASSED ON IT... I THEN INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACEMENTS AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE ABOUT $400 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. FROM THAT POINT I GOOGLED COST TO COMPARE AND CAME ACROSS ARTICLES, FORUMS THAT BROUGHT TO LIGHT THAT I WASN'T ALONE WITH MY CONCERN AND ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. AND SOME COMMENTS MENTIONED REPLACEMENTS SUCH AS HID OR LED DIDN'T DO MUCH TO HELP THE DIM BEAM. I AM NOT SURE NOW IF I WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO REPLACE OR KEEP GOOGLING ON WAYS TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM IN A MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAY. HOPEFULLY THERE IS A RECALL BECAUSE THE DIM LOW BEAM IS A HAZARD THAT FIXING WILL SAVE LIVES AND MAKE IT LESS STRESSFUL AT NIGHT TO DRIVE... ESPECIALLY WHEN CARRYING SPECIAL CARGO.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE POOR. NISSAN INSTALL A BRAND NEW SET OF LIGHTS AND I CAN'T SEE BUT 5 FEET IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IS TERRIBLE.

THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS (NOT HIGH BEAMS) ARE SO DIM THAT IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. IN LOW LIGHT AREAS (CITY STREETS) I HAVE BUMPED THE CURB BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE IT AND WHEN TURNING IN LOW LIT INTERSECTIONS, I AM UNABLE TO SEE WHERE THE LANES ARE, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY TURN.

SO IF I END UP HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SOMEBODYS GOING TO BE SERVED AND SPEND MORE MONEY THAN WHAT THEY COULD HAVE BY PREVENTING IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS? HOW MANY ACCIDENTS WERE CAUSED BY THIS THAT RESULTED IN DEATH? WE DONT KNOW BC THEY ARE DEAD!

I OWN A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, OVER THE TIME OF OWNERSHIP I HAVE NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER, I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BULBS AGING AND REPLACED THIS ON 02/15/2020. THE NEW BULBS (SILVANIA SILVERSTARS) WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BRIGHTER. THERE WERE NOT MUCH BRIGHTER. LATER WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SUGGESTED NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBALLIES AS THE CHROME PAINTING ON THE INSIDES OF THE LENSES HAS FADED AND AS A RESULT IS NOT REFLECTING MUCH LIGHT ONTO THE ROAD. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THIS REPAIR WAS 800$. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED IN THIS MATTER AND AS A STUDENT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE LOW BEAMS THAT ARE SO DIM THEY DO NOT EVEN APPEAR TO BE ON AT NIGHT. GOOGLING THIS ISSUES SHOWS MANY FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I WAS HAVING WITH NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES FIXING THE ISSUE

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE EXTREMELY TOO DIM. I CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT. MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WORK GREAT. SOMETIMES I FEEL AS IF THEY ARE NOT ON. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS MUCH DIMMER ON THE DRIVER SIDE THAN THE PASSENGER, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS STILL DIM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY NOW. SOMEONE WILL MOST DEFINITELY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS NEED TO BE A MAIN CONCERN FOR NISSAN. THEY ARE RISKING OUR LIVES. HOW MANY BULBS DO I HAVE TO CHANGE? ON DARK ROADS I HAVE TO PUT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON BUT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS COMING THEN I HAVE TO CUT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS OFF. WHEN I DO THIS THEN I FEEL AS IF I'M GOING TO GO OFF THE ROAD. I CANNOT SEE AT ALL. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THERE HAS BEEN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAD TO PUT A DATE ON THIS BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE LAST YEAR. I'M A NURSE AND I HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY IN THE AM FOR WORK ON A DARK ROAD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE EXTREMELY DIM. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM FOR $700 PLUS THE LABOR!. ARE THEY REPLACING WITH THE SAME LIGHTS SINCE THEY INSIST THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS?

THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIMMER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE. I HAVE CHANGED MULTIPLE BULBS AND NONE CAN FIX THE DIMNESS BEING EXPERIENCED. I SUSPECT THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE HOUSING AND I KNOW OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

WE PURCHASED A NISSAN ALTIMA SV, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN SO DIM THAT AT NIGHT, IN RAIN, SNOW ETC. THEY PROVIDE NO ADEQUATE LIGHT TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WE HAVE TO RESORT TO TURNING ON OUR HIGH BEAM ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY TO SEE THE ROAD AND OBSTACLES. WHAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND IT WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO FIX, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. AT THIS TIME NISSAN IS SILENT ON THE ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS ARE ENDANGERED BY THESE DEFECTIVE LIGHTS THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE BECOMING DANGEROUSLY DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY HAVE BEEN WHAT I BELIEVE DIM FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT HAVE BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. TO THE POINT I FEEL IT IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I AM REALIZING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2014-2106 NISSAN ALTIMA. I GUESS THE COATING INSIDE THE PROJECTOR BEAM LIGHT HOUSING WEARS OFF OR DETERIORATES PREVENTING A GOOD BEAM OF LIGHT. CHANGING TO A HIGHER QUALITY LIGHT BULB ALSO DOES NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. ONLY WAY TO FIX IS APPARENTLY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSINGS WHICH FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND COST AROUND $1000 FROM NISSAN. I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH COMMENTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS WITH THIS SAME GENERATION, THAT I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE ADDRESSING.

I CHECKED ON GOOGLE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND DON'T HAVE THE 1200.00 TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN I TURN MY LIGHTS ON DIM IT IS LIKE SOMEONE SHUT THEM OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAR IS USELESS AT NIGHT AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT THEY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON AND ISN'T.

I CANNOT DRIVE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE MARKINGS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THAT HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE OTHER DRIVERS FLASHING ME BECAUSE THEY THINK MY LIGHTS AREN'T ON.THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH CASUALTIES TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE.

LIGHT ARE ON BUT TOO DIM TO SEE IN FROM ON ME. BULBS AND HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP BUT IT KEEPS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

HEAD LIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM OVER TIME, EVEN WITH NEW BULBS; EVENTUALLY COULD ONLY SEE WELL A FEW YARDS AHEAD OF THE CAR. OTHER CARS WE CURRENTLY OWN AND HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION ONLINE, HAD THE FULL HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. THIS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. DEALER DID NOT INDICATE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT DO THIS FOR FREE, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS SAFETY HAZARD. PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLIES FROM CARPARTS.COM. REPLACEMENT WAS DONE BY LEXINGTON AUTOWORKS.

MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BARELY LIGHTING UP THE ROAD EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULBS. IT'S COMING FROM THE SILVER HOUSING PART THAT HOLDS THE BULBS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS.

I GOT ON A NISSAN FORUM AND IT TALKED ABOUT THE INSIDE OF THE LENS LOOSING ITS REFLECTING ABILITY. SO I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN RENTON WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY CAR AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THE NISSANS 800 NUMBER. I DID CALL AND SPOKE TO A JENNIFER. TOLD HER EVERYTHING I JUST STATED ITS OBVIOUS IF YOU LOOK THRU THE LENS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE INTERNAL REFLECTION ABILITY IS GONE. SHE TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS TO GET IT BACK TO OE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NISSAN FORUM THIS IS A SEVERE OCCURRING ISSUE. SO YONKER NISSAN AND NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IT SEEMS SAFETY IS NOT AN ISSUE TO ME OR MY FAMILY SO NEITHER IS MY BUSINESS THAT GOES FOR BOTH OF YOU.. AND I DO HOPE YOU TRAIN YOUR NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA STAFF ON THE MAGNUSSON ACT CAUSE AFTERMARKET GIVES A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE LENS ASSEMBLIES TO YOUR 1 YEAR.SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN.

THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TRYING TO DRIVE AND MAKING TURNS IN THE DARK WHERE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO STREET LIGHTING.AVAILABLE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO BE SAFE. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND EACH TIME BEEN TOLD TO TRY NEW BULBS. FOLLOWING THEIR ADVICE, BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW, ONCE WITH HID, AND AGAIN WITH LED. BOTH OPTIONS GAVE VERY LITTLE TO NO INCREASE IN VISIBILITY.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NO LONGER ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AT NIGHT, CREATING VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. ILLUMINATION INTENSITY HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HAVE DETERIORATED TO A POINT WHERE THE LIGHT DOES NOT PROJECT OUT ONTO OTHER CARS ON THE ROADWAY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES CANNOT BE SEEN RESULTING IN COLLISION WITH CURB TYPE MEDIAN TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE WHILE MOVING TO TURN DUE TO INADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF ROADWAY SURFACES.

LOW BEAMS YOU CAN'T HARDLY SEE ANYTHING AT ALL AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT IS NOT AS BRIGHT AS THE PASSENGER SIDE EVEN AFTER GETTING A NEW HEADLIGHT.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT COMPARTMENT IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE DUE TO A THIN LAYER IN THE REFLECTOR COMPARTMENT THAT ONCE IT FADES, IT CAUSES THE LIGHT TO NOT REFLECT PROPERLY ONTO THE ROAD.

STARTING IN APRIL 2019 ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SV. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THEY ARE EASILY OVERPOWERED BY THE TURN SIGNAL, AND HEADLIGHTS FROM OTHER VEHICLES CAST A "SHADOW" WHEN DRIVING BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIAL IN ANY WET WEATHER EVENT IT IS ALMOST LIKE HAVING NO LIGHTS ON AT ALL. IF THERE IS A MINIMUM LUMENS THAT NEED TO BE PROJECTED TO THE ROAD THIS DESIGN IS NOT DOING IT. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED WITH APPROPRIATE UNITS, NO CHANGE IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS SAFETY DEFECT THEY PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. AND TOOK ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COMPANIES DESIGN FLAW.

ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT STILL WAS NOT ANY BETTER. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I REPLACED THE BULB 2 MORE TIMES AND STILL WAS AWFUL. THEN I DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS COMMON IN 2014 ALTIMAS. I WAS TOLD I COULD FIX THE ISSUE BY REPLACING SOME PARTS. REPLACED MY PASSENGER SIDE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HAD MELTED. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THIS WILL END UP COSTING $800, FOR HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I WAS LUCKY THAT MY CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE.

VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE FOR NITE DRIVING AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN FOR ALL 2013-2015 ATIMA MODELS.HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW HEADLIGHTS WHICH COST ME $300.00 FOR HEADLIGHT AND $300 TO INSTALL. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THESE NISSAN ATIMA'S AND I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED.

MY 2014 ALTIMA'S LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM THAT IS NOT SECURE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. CHANGING THE BULBS DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 49,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDE BECOMES EXTREMELY DIM TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT, WHICH BECOMES HAZARDOUS. WENT TO NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN ALTIMA AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED. THEY WERE NOT SURE OF SOLUTION BUT TOLD THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED. SEVERAL TIMES GOT BEEPED FROM INCOMING CARS AS THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SO DIM AS IF HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT TURNED ON. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ISSUE IN JULY OF 2019 AND THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME MORE EVIDENT ONCE MY DAUGHTER STARTED TO PRACTICE DRIVING USING THIS CAR.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT IS MORE THAN 100 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN CAUSE AN INCIDENT ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY GOING FASTER SPEEDS AND NON ILLUMINATED AREAS WHERE YOU NEED TO SEE FURTHER AHEAD. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE PERFECTLY FINE, BUT WHEN USING MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE NOT EVEN TURNED ON.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. REFLECTOR NO LONGER PROJECTS LIGHT. MANY COMPLAINTS ON MESSAGE BOARDS.

Mileage: 115,000

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT I HAD LOW VISIBILITY AND COULD NOT SEE AS FAR AS 1 FOOF AHEAD AND HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS ALL THE WAY HOME. I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS MY BULBS OR BATTERY AND CHANGED THEM BOTH OUT. WHEN I CHANGED THEM, I NOTICED NO CHANGE AND ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR AND FEEL THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR AND FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY RISK.

Mileage: 103,011

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THE CAR CANNOT E DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED TWICE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. ADJUSTING THE BULBS ALSO DID NOT IMPROVE THE ILLUMINATION. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING FLAW THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR. YOU CAN'T VALUE ENGINEER SAFETY. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. IN CLOSING THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS PRODUCE MORE LIGHT THAN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.

Mileage: 88,000

LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM! I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS. I HAVE BOUGHT NEW BULBS (LED) WITHOUT A SOLUTION. DEALERSHIP SOLUTION IS TO PAY $1000+ TO GET NEW HEADLIGHTS. MANY OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 62,000

BOTH LOW BEAM, HEADLAMPS IN MY 2014 ALTIMA ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I FIRST NOTICED IT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE OVER TIME. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH OEM AND HIGH END (BRIGHTER) BULBS TO NO AVAIL. THE EXTERNAL ASSEMBLY PLASTIC IS NOT THAT FADED AND EVEN TRIED BUFFING IT. THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON.

Mileage: 100,000

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM I HAVE REPLACED THEM BOTH WHICH HAS NOT HELPED AND KNOW THEY HAVE BOTH WENT OUT AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HI BEAMS ON AT ALL TIMES. WHICH PRIOR TO THEM GOING OUT I DROVE WITH HI BEAMS JUST TO SEE. VERY IN SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE SPOKE WITH NISSAN REGARDING THIS AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS REGARDING MY YEAR OR MODEL. BASICALLY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

MAIN HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THEY HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND NOW HELP ALMOST NOT AT ALL. IF I DID NOT HAVE FOG LIGHTS I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON IN ORDER TO SEE AT NIGHT.

Mileage: 60,000

THE PROJECTORS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED AFTER A COUPLE YEARS. THE LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM THAT WE CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT TIME. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH NUMEROUS DIFFERENT BULBS AND THE BULBS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, IT IS THE PROJECTORS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. AS CAN BE FOUND ONLINE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING A LOT WITH THE 5TH GENERATION ALTIMA. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AS THIS IS VERY CLEARLY A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM IF YOU CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN FLAW.

Mileage: 80,000

LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND REPLACING LIGHT BULBS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE PROJECTOR LENS

Mileage: 50,000

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ONE EVENING AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON I NOTICED THEY WERE SIGNIFICANTLY DIMMER THEN NORMAL. I RODE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO WITH THE DIM HEADLIGHTS AND IT APPEARED THAT THEY WERE GRADUALLY GETTING DIMMER UNTIL ONE OF THE BULBS EVENTUALLY WENT OUT. I HAD BOTH BULBS REPLACED AND THE HEADLIGHTS REMAINED SEVERLY DIM. SO DIM THAT THERE IS NO LIGHT BEING EMITTED ONTO THE ROAD AND I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS WHEN TRAVELING AFTER DARK.

Mileage: 90,000

ABOUT THREE YEARS INTO OWNING MY BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA I BEGAN TO REALIZE HOW INCREDIBLY DARK THE ROADS WERE BECOMING WHEN I WOULD DRIVE AT NIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I THOUGHT AT FIRST I NEEDED NEW PRESCRIPTION GLASSES BUT WHEN I BEGIN NEEDING TO USE MY BRIGHTS FOR REGULAR NIGHTTIME DRIVING IN THE CITY I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEN, BOTH MY BROTHER AND FATHER ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS POINTED OUT HOW DANGEROUSLY DIM MY HEADLIGHTS WERE. AFTER THAT, I KNEW IT WAS NOT JUST MY EYES SEEING DARKLY. I BEGIN TO DO RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THE HEADLIGHT BARREL UNIT CORRODES AFTER JUST A FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP IN THE NISSAN 2013 TO 2015 MODELS. I HAVE TRIED CHANGING THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOUND THIS TO BE USELESS, PROVING THE POINT OF OTHER OWNERS. IT IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING THAT IT IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING THAT SUCH INTEGRAL SAFETY/VISION FACETS OF MY CAR ARE USELESS. I FEEL COMPLETELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAVE NORMALLY VERY GREAT VISION. IF MY CAR CAN'T SHINE LIGHTS IN FRONT OF ME, THAT IS A HUGE CONCERN, AND THIS ISSUE WITHIN THE ALTIMA MODELS CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED.

Mileage: 45,000

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS TOO DIM. THERE IS NO LIGHT COMING PUT OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS WEAK BULB AND HAD IT REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM DIDNOT GO AWAY. WENT TO NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN ALTIMA AND NO RECALL HS BEEN ORDERED. THEY WERE NOT SURE OF SOLUTION BUT TOLD WHOLE CONSOLE CHNAGE MAY SOLVE THE ISSUE. RIGHT NOW I NEED TO PUT HIGH BEAMS ON AS ONLY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GIVES RIGHT AMOUNT OF LIGHT. THE PASSENGER LIGHT IS ON BUT NOTHING CAN BE SEEN. THE HEADLIGHT PANEL IS CLEAN AND CLEAR BUT NO LIGHT COMES OUT.

Mileage: 64,000

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, PROJECTING ONLY 2-3 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. REPLACING THE BULBS DOES NOT HELP. THE REFLECTIVE COATING ON THE PROJECTION LENS HAS WORN OFF CAUSING THE LIGHT BEAM TO NOT PROJECT WELL. THIS CREATES VERY POOR VISIBILITY AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE VISIBILITY AT NIGHT WHEN IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS AN INFERIOR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, CAUSING YOU TO DRIVE NEARLY BLIND AND TO ALMOST RELY ON THE NEXT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU TO PROVIDE YOU A PATH. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEADLIGHT BULBS THAT WERE THE ISSUE. I HAD CHANGED THEM OUT AND IT ONLY IMPROVED VISIBILITY EVER SO SLIGHTLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY FREQUENTLY GOING BAD. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS FAIRLY COMMON FOR THE REFLECTIVE PART OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO GO CLOUDY AND GO DIM. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THIS WAS CONSIDERED STANDARD WEAR AND TEAR, THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR OVER A GRAND. I WAS EVEN RECOMMENDED TO BUY THEM AFTER MARKET TO SAVE, HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE! THIS ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AFTER OWNING IT FROM NEW FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS A HAZARD AND CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE SAFETY HAZARDS FOR THE DRIVER.

Mileage: 71,000

REGULAR (LOW BEAM) HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, DESPITE ME CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACING THE BULBS. YESTERDAY IN NORTH RALEIGH, NC, I RAN OVER A LOW CONCRETE DIVIDER SEPARATING THE MAIN TRAFFIC LANES AND A TURN LANE, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE IT AT ALL. THE DIMNESS SEEMS TO BE PARTICULARLY BAD FOR PERIPHERAL LIGHTING (WHICH MAKES SENSE GIVING MY EXAMPLE ABOVE, CHANGING FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTHER, AND NOT SEEING THE CONCRETE DIVIDER AT ALL). FROM RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS VERY COMMON AMONG 2013-2015 ALTIMA OWNERS - APPARENTLY THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S PROJECTION SYSTEM DEGRADES OR WEARS OUT.

Mileage: 121,000

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME EXTREMELY DIM OVER TIME. MY ALTIMA CURRENTLY REGISTERS 135,000 MILES. I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DRIVE THE VEHICLE DAILY. HOWEVER MY WIFE, WHO DOES NOT DRIVE IT REGULARLY, HAS MENTIONED THE DIMNESS TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. INITIALLY I BELIEVED THE PROBLEM RESTED WITH THE BULBS; HOWEVER, REPLACING THOSE DID NOT IMPROVE LIGHT BRIGHTNESS. AFTER AN ONLINE SEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE DUE TO HEAT INDUCED CLOUDING OF THE PROJECTOR LENS. NEITHER HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH EQUIPMENT IS DURABLE IN NATURE AND THAT, UNLESS DAMAGED, SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. FINALLY, I'VE NOTICED THAT TH PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT LOW BEAM LIGHT FROM VEHICLES BEHIND ME CAST MORE LIGHT THAN MY OWN LOW BEAMS. INDEED I CAN EASILY SEE THE SHADOW OF MY VEHICLE WHICH IS CASTED FROM THE LOW BEAMS OF THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ME, OTHER DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS, ETC. IT DESERVES THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE NHTSA. THIS PROBLEM IS AN ISSUE AT NIGHT TIME, PARTICULARLY WHEN IN MOTION SINCE REACTION TIME MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO AVERT AND ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT

Mileage: 135,000

I HAVE 2 OF THESE MODEL ALTIMA'S. BOTH SUFFER FROM THE SAME PROBLEM THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND IT'S HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. VERY UNSAFE

Mileage: 49,000

THE LOW BEAMS ARE NON-EXISTENT AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND GET FLASHED BY ANGRY ONCOMING DRIVERS ALL THE TIME. THIS ADDS TO MY VISIBILITY HAZARDS AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS VERY DIM HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT VERY DANGEROUS IN FOG HARD TO SEE DEER ANIMALS PEOPLE TRY TO RUN WITH HIGH BEAMS ON BUT THEN PUTTING OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK

Mileage: 93,000

THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS RECALLED ASAP! I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS APPEARED MUCH DIMMER SO I REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE BUT IT ISN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE BULB. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU GET BETTER BULBS, THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTOR WILL NOT PROJECT LIGHT FORCING YOU TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. IT IS DANGEROUS! MY SON WAS PULLED OVER DRIVING MY CAR ONE NIGHT BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE HAD HEADLIGHTS AND ADVISED HIM TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHT HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM! I'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT NISSANS BUT ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE DEALT WITH NOW FOR TWO YEARS AND SINCE NISSAN WON'T ISSUE A RECALL, I'M FORCED TO PURCHASE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S FOR THE CAR.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE NOT FULLY ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. SO DIM, YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD.

Mileage: 130,000

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT LIGHT ONTO THE ROAD MAKING A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. THE MIRROR REFLECTORS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE BURNED AND CORRODED MAKING THE LOW BEAM LIGHT INEFFECTIVE. FROM THE DRIVER SEAT YOU CANNOT SEE ANY LIGHT ON THE ROADWAY, AND HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS JUST TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS REALLY EVIDENT ON ROADWAYS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS AS IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS OFF ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED NEW BULBS, HIGHER INTENSITY BULBS, AND LEDS WITH NO SUCCESS. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT A SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE ON A VEHICLE WHICH IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.

Mileage: 99,870

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE SO LOW THAT I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS. IT IS UNSAFE IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO LIGHTING. I WANTED THIS TO BE ON RECORD IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE NHTSA IS IGNORING. MY HUSBAND AND MY SON DRIVE THE VEHICLES AT NIGHT AND I AM VERY AFRAID FOR THEM. THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART IS OVER $1000 WHICH IS UNFAIR SINCE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PRODUCT. WHY WAIT UNTIL SOME HAS A FATAL CRASH OR WORSE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 ALTIMA ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. AT NIGHT THEY PROVIDE EFFECTIVELY NO LIGHTING. TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I MUST USE MY BRIGHTS WHICH THEN MAKES ME A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE VISIBILITY OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT BULBS AND ALSO UPGRADED TO LED BULBS WITH LITTLE TO NO IMPROVEMENT. THIS ISSUE IS RELEVANT ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, OR COUNTRY ROADS, FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN. WHILE DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE PEDESTRIANS AND EXTRA CAUTION IS REQUIRED AS A DRIVER TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE AROUND ME AS WELL AS MYSELF.

Mileage: 68,000

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROVIDED VERY DIM ILLUMINATION. THE CONTACT COULD ONLY SEE APPROXIMATELY A FOOT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF GADSDEN (1701 RAINBOW DR, GADSDEN, AL 35901) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *BF CONSUMER STATED LOW DIM HEADLAMPS REPLACED FOR $940.10 AT THE DEALERSHIP.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS OVER TIME ARE EXTREMELY DIM. ILLUMINATION IS NOT ADEQUATE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THIS IS REPORTEDLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE PROJECTOR NOT THE BULB DIMMING OR BURNING OUT. VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SO MY VEHICLE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

Mileage: 40,000

THE LOW-BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I HAD THE BULBS REPLACED AND CLEANED THE FOG FROM THE CLEAR COVER, BUT THE LIGHTS ARE STILL DANGEROUSLY DIM. THIS APPARENTLY IS BECAUSE THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS DETERIORATED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE WAY TOO DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

I HAVE CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS 3 TIMES . THEY ARE SO DIM I AVOIDED ACCIDENTS . I DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAM AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS. UNIVERSAL NISSAN IN ORLANDO IN ZIP CODE TOLD ME IT IS NORMAL.MY PERSONAL MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS NOT THE BULB BUT THE MIRROE SURROUNDING THE BULB THAT IS FADED.A FEW PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN BAD WEATHER. DRIVING WITH THE BRIGHTS ON LOOKS MORE LIKE WHAT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS SHOULD LOOK LIKE. I ALTER WHEN I DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHT HOUSING AND NOT THE BULB. THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LIGHT HOUSING IS BREAKING DOWN AND NOT REFLECTING THE LIGHT ANY LONGER. HARD TO SEE WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS.

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY '14 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE VERY DIM, TO THE POINT THAT I AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE MORE THAN 5-10 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. I LIVE OFF OF A DARK ROAD WITH LIMITED LIGHTING, AND IS ALWAYS FEARFUL OF HITTING SOMETHING/ SOMEONE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD SO I'M FREQUENTLY DRIVING WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON JUST TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY. THIS PROGRESSING DIMMING WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DRIVE OFTEN FOR WORK IN OCCASIONAL HIGH CONSTRUCTION AND NEWLY DEVELOPED AREAS WHERE EQUIPMENT MAY BE LEFT OUT IN POORLY LIT AREAS, LIKE CONES OR MACHINERY, THAT ARE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SPOT FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. IF REFLECTORS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY, I HAVE DIFFICULTIES STAYING WITHIN MY LANE BECAUSE OF THE DIMMING HEADLIGHTS, RESULTING IN PLACING OTHER DRIVERS AND MYSELF IN DANGER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHICH I WAS EXPLAINED THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF, BUT A DEFECTIVE OR WORN PROJECTOR LENS WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO REPLACE.

Mileage: 82,781

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 ALTIMA HAVE BECOME REALLY DIM TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS BUT THIS DID FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THE PROJECTOR (LENS) MATERIAL INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS CORRODED AND THAT THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE IT AFFECTS VISIBILITY AT NIGHT, AND NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND THEN TURNED ON AGAIN, BUT WERE VERY DIM. THE FAILURE WAS A HAZARD BECAUSE THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AND NEW BULBS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAD NO SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. ASKED ABOUT HAVING CAR REPAIRED AND NISSAN REPAIR QUOTED OVER $1000.00 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT.

HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIM. HIGH BEAM WORKS EXCEPTIONALLY BUT LOW BEAM SEEMS TO BE BURNED OUT. LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THERE IS NO CHANGE IS VISIBILITY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO AUTONATION NISSAN WHERE THEY CONCLUDED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE HEADLAMPS. HEADLAMPS HAVE EVEN BEEN ADJUSTED IN THE DIRECTION THAT PROJECT, BUT STILL NO CHANGE IN VISIBILITY. HEADLAMP VISIBILITY BECAME DRASTICALLY DECREASED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY

I NOTICED LAST YEAR THAT MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE REALLY DIM, LITERALLY THE FOG LIGHTS ILLUMINATE FARTHER THAN THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. I BOUGHT NEW BULBS THAT WERE LED AND MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE REALLY BRIGHT, HOWEVER THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE STILL JUST AS THEY WERE BEFORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013-2015 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, IF YOU CAN'T SEE WITHOUT YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON!!! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL DONE ON THE HEADLIGHTS YET???? SURELY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE THERE IS A TRAGIC WRECK BECAUSE A DRIVER CAN'T SEE TWO FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CAN BARELY SEE A FOOT IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH LED AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. TRAVELING ON ANY ROAD I HAVE TO PUT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT MY SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IN JEOPARDY JUST BECAUSE NISSAN HAS A FLAWED SYSTEM THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. IT'S SURELY SOMEONE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE NISSAN PUT OUT A RECALL ON THESE HEADLIGHTS SO WE AS THE CAR OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY $1,000 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NISSAN'S FAULT. AS OF DECEMBER 2018, THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM RANKS 10TH IN THE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM RECENT PROBLEM TREND LIST. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I AM BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE MAKE NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS COMPLAINS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE OVER 96 COMPLAINTS ALONE ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT PERTAIN TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE FOR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA'S FROM. PLEASE MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!!!!!

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO LOW THAT YOU CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE CHANGE THE BULBS 2 TIMES AND I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME RESULTS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SUGGESTED ME CHANGING OUT BOTH HEAD LIGHTS. WHY HAVEN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN RECALL BY NISSAN?

Mileage: 72,000

THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2014 ARE TOO DIM FOR SAFE DRIVING AFTER DARK. THE LOW BEAMS, ON REGULAR SETTING, BARELY SHINE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDE LITTLE TO NO LIGHTING FOR THE SURROUNDING ROADWAYS. THE PERIPHERAL VIEW OF THE ROAD AND/OR MEDIANS, WHILE DRIVING, IS OBSOLETE. WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, I AM FORCED TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I HAVE COMPLETELY MISSED A CAR DRIVING ON EITHER SIDE OF ME, BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. EVEN AFTER REPLACING BOTH BULBS, THE LACK OF LIGHTING IS EVIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT, WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE HELP OF THE CITY STREET LIGHTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR 2013-2015 ALTIMAS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT AMONG ALTIMA OWNERS. REPLACING THE BULBS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS DOES LITTLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, AND THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS $1,000 WORTH OF WORK TO IMPROVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN THIS CAR. INADEQUATE LIGHTING, WHICH IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT IN THIS CASE, IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES NOT TO MENTION EVERYONE WHO SHARES THE ROAD WITH THEM.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN LATE 2013. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE HAD DIMNESS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. HAVE CHANGED BULBS FOR BOTH SIDES WITH NO SUCCESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. LIGHTS REMAIN DANGEROUSLY DIM... SO MUCH SO THAT WE NEED TO USE THE BRIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT. READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ON THE ALTIMA WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

DESPITE REPLACING THE BULBS AND EVEN TRYING HID LIGHT BULBS FOR THE CAR, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE HEADLIGHTS BEING SO DIM. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO DRIVE WITH YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS (HIGH BEAMS) ON IN ORDER TO SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET AHEAD OF YOU AS YOU DRIVE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSES RISK NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE WITHOUT DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS ON, BUT ALSO TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEING SUBJECTED TO BLINDING LIGHTS IN THEIR EYES.

THE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS WERE VERY DIM. I REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. ABOUT 1/3 OF THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE INSIDE THE PROJECTOR WAS BURN OFF AND PARTS WERE CRACKED FROM THE HEAT OF THE HEAD LAMP. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SO DIM AT TIMES IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR. THE DEALER WANTED ABOUT $1000.00 TO REPAIR AS BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE GENUINE NISSAN PARTS FOR ABOUT HALF THAT PRICE AND I DID IT MYSELF.

Mileage: 120,000

THE HALOGEN PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AS TIME GOES ON AND NEW BULBS DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS REPORT THIS SAME ISSUE AND I SUSPECT THAT THE BOWL WITH REFLECTIVE COATING ON THE PROJECTORS IS BAD. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND CAN ONLY ILLUMINATE LESS THAN 100 FEET. THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE AS THEY ARE ONLY HALOGEN BULBS AND NOT PROJECTORS. ONE MUST DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON TO SAFELY SEE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON DARK STREETS AND THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR SURROUNDING DRIVERS EITHER.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE WITH LED AND HID AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. SINCE THE PURCHASE, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE MADE ME RUN COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ROAD ONCE AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SEVERELY DIM; ALMOST NON-EXISTENT LOW BEAMS. THEREFORE I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT USING ONLY MY HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4, I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE OR REPAIR ENTIRE ASSEMBLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS A COUPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC AT LOCAL PARTS STORE THAT THE "PROJECTOR" HAS OBVIOUSLY GONE OUT AND THAT ALL ALTIMA WITH THAT TYPE OF LIGHTS EXPERIENCE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME.

HEADLIGHT COVERS---FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM (LOW LIGHT) THAT YOU CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO CHANGE THE BULBS TO STRONGER BULBS TWICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS THE LIGHT COVER, IT DOES NOT ALLOW LIGHT THROUGH. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN A CITY OR LIT UP TOWN, I DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH IS ALSO NOT SAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS. :(

I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT USING THE DIM LIGHTS. I HAVE CHANGED THEM 3 TIMES, AND PUT THE MOST EXPENSIVE/POWERFUL/BRIGHTEST LIGHTS I COULD BUY, AND PAID MECHANICS 3 TIMES TO CHANGE THEM (YOU HAVE TO GO UP THROUGH THE WHEEL WELL SKIRTING), AND THE BRIGHTNESS I GET IS LIKE CANDLE LIGHT. I TRY NOT TO EVER HAVE TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT.

CAN'T SEE WITH HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT DOESN'T HELP. WILL BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX CORRECTLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BARELY SEE IN FRONT OF ME ON ANY ROAD AT NIGHT.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. VISIBILITY IS VERY POOR AT NIGHT TIME AND WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I HAVE TO PLAN MY TRIPS TO DRIVE IN THE DAY TIME. I ALREADY REPKACED THE BULBS BUT IT DID NOT HELP AND WAS TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACED THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

TAKADA RECALL. ON MY 2014 ALTIMA CAN'T SEE WITH LIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THEM ON HIGH BEAM. REPLACED BULBS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT DOESN'T HELP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BARELY SEE 10 FEET IN FRONT OF ME.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE THE SIDES OF THE ROAD OR ANY OBJECT WITHIN 5 TO 10 FEET IN FRONT OF CAR. REPLACED BULB WITH UPGRADED BULBS AND IT DID NOT HELP. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CAN'T DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING TO HARD TO SEE. THIS IS ONLY WITH THE LOW BEAM. THIS HAS BECOME WORSE OVER TIME. I BROUGHT THIS CAR NEW. I HAVE LESS THEN 100000 MILES.

1) FRONTAL PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT ALWAYS SAYS OFF, EVEN WHEN THERE'S A PASSENGER. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS A TAKATA INFLATOR.

THE HEADLIGHTS (BOTH) CONTINUALLY GET DIMMER AND DIMMER UNTIL YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. (THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, WETHER IDLEING, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE)I HAVE HAD OR CHANGED MY LIGHT BULB(S) AT LEAST (6) TIMES IN THE 16 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY LAW INFORCEMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND A LIVERY DRIVER I HAVE HAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.

Mileage: 80,000

THE VEHICLE HAS DIM LIGHTING AND IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND I USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE DARK ROADWAYS AND SIGNS, WHICH CAUSES BLINDNESS TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND I BELIEVABLE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OVER THIS. REPLACING BULBS DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE NOR DOES WARRANTY COVER THE COST.

LOW DIM HEADLIGHTS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. MAKES IT EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT HIGH BEAMS.

Mileage: 97,840

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME FORCING THE CONSTANT USE OF HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS ONLY ILLUMINATE ABOUT A CAR LENGTH AND DRIVING CONSTANTLY WITH HIGH BEAMS ALSO CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS CHOOSING BRIGHTER BULBS EACH TIME, AS WELL AS BUYING FACTORY BULBS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER, BUT NOTHING CHANGED.

Mileage: 99,000

WHEN DRIVING IN THE LATE EVENING OR NIGHT TIME,I AM UNABLE TO SEE THE STREET AHEAD OF ME WHILE DRIVING. MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I NOTICED THIS ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 79400 MILES ON IT. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS SITUATION AND FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON AMONG NISSAN ALTIMAS IN THIS TIME FRAME.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE WITH LED AND HID AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHTS ESPECIALLY THE DRIVER SIDE I CAN BARELY SEE FROM. I THOUGHT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT AND GOT IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT APPEARS TO BE A FLAW WITH THE REFLECTORS. I CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING HARDLY FROM THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. ALSO AFTER SEARCHING THIS TYPE OF ISSUE I FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

WOULD NOT START TOWED CAR TO DEALER. THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUES. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE SHUTTING OFF AND NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. BECAUSE ALL POWER GOES.

I AM ISSUING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA DUE TO THE EXTREME DULLNESS OF HEADLIGHT POWER. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE, AND THE FACT THAT IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS BECAUSE I NEARLY HIT A LARGE ANIMAL OR OTHER OBJECT IN THE ROAD. MY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT FAR OR WIDE. ID ESTIMATE THEY PROJECT 4 FEET IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS UP AND CHANGING TO VERY EXPENSIVE AND HIGH QUALITY LED BULBS, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

Mileage: 65,000

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I EVEN REPLACE THEM WITH HID AND LED LIGHT BUT NO CHANGE VERY LOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS VERY DIM AND VERY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE BULB, BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BULB IT STILL VERY DIM ON DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. ITS VERY HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THIS POOR LIGHTING. IF I DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS OTHER CARS FLASH ME TO LOWER THE LIGHT BECAUSE I BLIND THEM WITH THE HIGH BEAMS.

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS DIM. CHANGING THE BULB DOESN'T HELP. THE PROJECTOR INSIDE THE HOUSING GOES BAD PREMATURELY AND THE HEADLIGHT MUST BE REPLACED AS A WHOLE. I HAD THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT'S WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT HAS 82K MILES ON IT. MY WIFE WAS PULLED OVER BECAUSE OF THIS. NISSAN WILL NOT HELP.

Mileage: 81,000

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SV, AND THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I ALSO DID SOME ONLINE SEARCHES AND FIND THAT OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DIM LOW BEAM IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE! THE CLOUDY PROJECTOR LENS IS THE REASON! BECAUSE, FIRSTLY I REPLACED THE BULBS, BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE; SECONDLY, THE HIGH BEAM WORKS PERFECTLY, INDICATING THE THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE OUTER TRANSPARENT SHIELD. THE HIGH BEAM BULB LIES IN A REGULAR REFLECTION BOWL RATHER THAN IN A PROJECTOR LIKE THE LOW BEAM USED. OTHER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH REGULAR REFLECTION BOWL FOR LOW BEAM WORKS PERFECTLY, SUCH AS 2007 BUICK LUCERNE (12 YEARS AGE!). THEREFORE, THE DESIGN OF THE LOW BEAM USING A PROJECTOR ON 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA IS DEFECTIVE, PUTTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS INTO DANGER WHEN THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIM. THEY NEED TO OPEN A RECALL AND REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Mileage: 58,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BARELY VISIBLE ON LOW BEAM AT NIGHT AND THE NEW BULBS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY KNOW THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DIRVER , AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT

THE BULBS ARE FADING AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER FINDING THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM IS EXTREMELY DIM. HAD IT LOOKED AT. HEADLIGHT HOUSING. $700. AT NIGHT I CAN'T SEE SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS ON.

THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHT WERE GETTING DIMMER. I REPLACED THE BULBS WITH ONES THAT ARE 60% BRIGHTER BUT IT WAS MARGINALLY BRIGHTER. I CAN BARELY SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT IF IT'S COMPLETELY DARK. I CAN SEE MY CAR'S SHADOW CAST FROM THE LIGHTS OF THE CAR BEHIND ME. I CANNOT TELL IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON UNTIL I'M RIGHT BEHIND A VEHICLE. ROAD SIGNS ARE BARELY LUMINATED AND I HAVE TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS IF THERE ARE NO CARS AHEAD OF ME.

HEADLIGHTS (NORMAL DRIVING) ARE EXTREMELY DIM. DIFFICULT TO SEE AT TIME, USING FOGLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS TO MAKE SAFE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NO CHANGE IN LIGHTING. AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT YOU CANNOT SEE IF ANYTHING IS IN THE STREET AHEAD. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I PULL BEHIND SOMEONE TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOW. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NO CHANGE IN THE LIGHTING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT SOMETHING IS BOUND TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE SOONER OR LATER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SOMEONE SHOULD BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

LOW BEAMS ARE EXTREMELY DIM CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO SEE THE ROAD. INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SAME COMPLAINT. MAY BE THE DESIGN THAT PRESENTS A PROJECTION PROBLEM. HAS BEEN ONGOING, BUT GETTING WORSE WITH TIME.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HIGH BEAMS MUST BE USED TO SEE ON ROADS THAT HAVE NO STREET LIGHTS. I HAVE HIT MULTIPLE THINGS IN THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CAN NOT SEE THEM UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE TO MANEUVER OUT OF THE WAY.

Mileage: 130,000

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. AT NIGHT I NEED TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO SEE. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THIS MAKE MODEL YEAR CAR FROM RESEARCH I'VE CONDUCTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM SEVERAL TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE LIGHTS ARE FINE. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.

MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN DIMMER. CHANGING THE BULBS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, THEY ARE VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT YOU CAN'T SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, STREET SIGNS AND ROAD REFLECTORS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS SEVERAL TIMES WITH OUT ANY IMPROVEMENT, THE MOST RECENT CHANGE WAS MADE WITH A NEW LED LIGHTING KIT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE DOWN ROAD VISION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT CHANGE IF THE VEHICLE IS STANDING AT IDLE OR IN MOTION.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE DIM OVER TIME. LIGHTS ARE DIM ALL THE TIME, NOT RELATED TO IDLE OR OTHER FUNCTIONS. MILEAGE IS 80,000 MILES. NIGHT DRIVING IS HAZARDOUS. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE LIGHTING ONLY A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR, NOT ILLUMINATING TRAFFIC SIGNS, DIFFICULTY WHEN MAKING TURNS AT A CORNER OR DRIVEWAY. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT, THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE BUT ARE A HAZARD FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

HEADLAMPS ARE DIMMING AND NIGHT TIME DRIVING REQUIRES THE USE OF HIGH BEAMS. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS. VEHICLE HAS 52,600 MILES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT GOOD ILLUMINATED VISIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE USED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF LAS CRUCES (1801 S MAIN ST, LAS CRUCES, NM 88005, 575-523-5571). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

Mileage: 125,000

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO DIM YOU CAN BARELY SEE. I CHANGED THE BULBS OUT TO A BRIGHTER AFTERMARKET LED BULB AND THE DIFFERENCE IS MINIMAL AT BEST. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE STILL VERY BRIGHT BUT THEY ARE NOT THE PROJECTION STYLE. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC I MUST KEEP THE FOG LIGHTS ONTO LIGHT UP THE ROAD. THE ILLUMINATION IS SO POOR THAT SECURITY LIGHTS THAT ARE OVER PEOPLE'S DRIVEWAYS ARE BRIGHTER THAN THE HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ON LOW BEAM. I'VE TALKED TO A NISSAN MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ONLY TRUE FIX WILL BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEIR ARE ISSUES WITH THE MATERIALS BREAKING DOWN INSIDE THE PROJECTOR PORTION OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IF THAT'S THE CASE NISSAN HAS DONE A POOR JOB OF DESIGNING THEIR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT THEIR COST AS THIS IS A VERY REAL HAZARD. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE MECHANIC I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED ISSUE, EVIDENTLY IT'S ALL ALTIMAS FROM 2013-2015 THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WAY TOO QUICKLY, BECOME UNSAFE DUE TO WELL KNOWN FAULTY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FAULTY PART MAY BE CALLED "REFLECTOR". LIGHT OUTPUT QUALITY IS NOT SAFE! NEITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT HEADLIGHT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A WELL KNOW ISSUE! YET, NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL??? HOWEVER, THIS NISSAN MANUFACTURE WELL KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT WILL BE FIXED THROUGH NISSAN FOR THE OBSCENE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000. DISGUSTING, SAD, AND UNACCEPTABLE! AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE ARE MANY, MANY DRIVERS, MYSELF INCLUDED, THAT HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS HAVING TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT?? I PURCHASED NEW HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENT BULBS, HAD HEADLIGHTS RE-AIMED, AND HAD HEADLIGHT COVERS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED. NOTHING HELPED!! AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS THE WELL KNOW ISSUE IS A FAULTY PART ENCLOSED INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED A "REFLECTOR"? I HAVE WASTED $200 FOR NEW BULBS, RE-AIMING, AND HAVING LENSES CLEANED. THIS AGAIN, IS FLAT OUT DISGUSTING. HAD NISSAN INFORMED ME OF THIS DEFECT, I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY. I ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE FRUSTRATION WHEN ALL THAT I TRIED DID NOT HELP. ALL THE WHILE NISSAN KNEW I WAS WASTING MY TIME, MONEY, AND WELL BEING. PLEASE HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. A LESS VIGILANT DRIVER MAY NOT REALIZE THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THEY ARE DRIVING IN, AND... THANK YOU NHTSA!

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE TOO LOW. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. I RECENTLY HAD THE LIGHTS REPLACED AS THEY HAD BLEW OUT. THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY LIGHT. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I OFTEN TIMES HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND TURN BACK ON AS IT APPEARS TO NOT BE ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. 2014 VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE LOW BEAM ISSUES AS THE CAR DOES.

I HAVE VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. I'VE TRIED LED'S AND THE BEST HALOGENS. I'VE CLEANED INSIDE OF THE PROJECTORS, BUT IN A DAY OR TWO, THE PROJECTORS CLOUDS UP AGAIN. CALLED NISSAN, AND THE WOULD MAYBE GIVE 300 BUCKS AGAINST 1500 TO 1800. OR I COULD DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BRIGHTS ON.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LAMP DID. NOT GREATLY, BUT THERE WAS A BEAM ON MY SHIRT. REPLACED THE LOW-BEAM LAMP AGAIN AND DID BOTH SIDES AND THE PROBLEM WITH POOR ILLUMINATION CONTINUED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AT THIS POINT MY 2014 MODEL WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAD STARTED USING MY HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS AT NIGHT AND LIVED WITH IT.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. REPLACING THE BULBS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. HIGH BEAMS ARE OK.

HEADLIGHT BULBS WORK BUT BOTH HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE IN NOT LIGHTING UP THE ROAD. I HAVE READ THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE BACKING IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES FAILING DUE TO HEAT FROM THE BULBS AND NOT PRODUCING PROPER LIGHTING.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN STEADILY DETERIORATING TO THE POINT THEY HAVE BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THE INITIAL THOUGHT THAT THE BULBS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHT LENSES ARE NOT YELLOWED OR FOGGED OVER, AND THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE BRAND NEW HIGH-QUALITY HEADLIGHT LAMPS. THERE IS NO OTHER KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HIGH BEAM WORK WITHOUT ISSUE AND IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT TO WHERE THE HIGH-BEAMS ARE NEEDED TO SUPPLEMENT NIGHTTIME LIGHTING IN AREAS WHERE LIOW BEAMS SHOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING IS AT THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS BECOMING A HAZARD TO ME AS THE DRIVER; BUT ALSO, IS BECOMING A HAZARD TO ONCOMING DRIVERS, AS THE USE OF HIGH-BEAM LIGHTING IS BEING USED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE BRIGHNESS OF THE LOW BEAM LIGHT DOES NOT CHANGE IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, STANDING, OR IN MOTION, AND THE DIM LIGHTING IS MOST HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING AROUND CORNERS OR ON DARK ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTING. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY NISSAN OR A MECHANIC BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND ESTIMATES TO INSPECT THE LIGHTING ISSUE BEGINS AT $80. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK OR INFORMATION THE NHTSA MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ON THIS AND RELATED ISSUES.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. NEED TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO PROPERLY SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF, FAMILY AND OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT IT IS NOT A BULB REPLACEMENT ISSUE - BUT A LIGHT PROJECTOR ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE LIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BULBS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (AUTO LENDERS, 6201 BLACK HORSE PIKE, EGG HARBOR TWP, NJ 08234, 888-305-5968) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A MINOR ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED FINE, BUT OVER TIME I NOTICED THEY WERE GETTING DIM, AND NOW I CAN HARDLY TELL THE LOW BEAMS ARE EVEN ON, THE HIGH BEAMS SEEM TO WORK JUST FINE. SO I TRIED CHANGING THE BULBS FOR LOW BEAMS AND IT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THEY FAIL ALL TOGETHER AND SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM CAUSING A DRIVING AND SAFETY HAZARD. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE 3 KIDS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS ACTIVITIES AND AT THIS POINT I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

MY 2014 NISSIAN ALTIMA WHICH I BOUGHT OFF THE DEALER LOT BRAND NEW IN 2014 HAS EXTREMELY DIM LIGHTS THAT MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHICH IS SUPER UNSAFE BECAUSE I CANT EVEN SEE MORE THEN ABOUT A FOOT IN FRONT OF ME AND SOMETIMES I GET OFF LATE SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND ITS IF I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE MY LIGHTS ON .

I PURCHASED MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM A MAJOR CAR DEALERSHIP IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. MARCH 31, 2018. THE VERY DAY I TOOK THE CAR HOME I WAS LEAVING A FAMILY MEMBER'S HOME AND IT WAS NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS COMPLETED AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN THOMASVILLE, GA. ON THE VEHICLE. THE TEST YIELDED THE PROJECTORS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. I COMMUTE IN A CAR 80 MILES (TO/FROM WORK) 5 A DAY WITH HEADLIGHTS THAT HAVE LITTLE TO ANY PROJECTION FROM THE HEAD LIGHTS WHEN I USING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING. WHEN IT RAINS MY ABILITY TO SEE THE LINES ON THE ROAD ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL I AM ABLE TO RETURN TO THE HIGH BEAMS. THIS IS SCARY FOR ME EACH NIGHT I AM DRIVING HOME GIVEN I AM A FEMALE DRIVING FROM WORK BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 1:00 AM AND 2:00 AM. IT WOULD SEEM THIS WOULD BE A PRIORITY TO REPAIR FOR THE SAFETY OF PERSON WHO HAVE PURCHASED THESE YEAR MODEL CAR.

I COMMUTE 100 MILES A DAY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ONCE HEADLIGHTS ARE REQUIRED. I ALSO LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THERE IS LIMITED TO NO STREET LIGHTING. DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS PUTS OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK SO THIS IS NOT SAFE OPTION. NISSAN KNOWINGLY IS PUTTING DRIVERS AT RISK AS THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS 2013-2015 ALTIMA MODELS--THEY SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I MAY HAVE TO GET RID OF THE CAR.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING AT NIGHT AS I CANNOT SEE VERY FAR IN FRONT OF CAR UNLESS I USE HIGH BEAMS. NOTICED LAST YEAR, SEEMS TO BE EVEN WORSE NOW.

WHILE DEIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAMS /HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT AT NIGHT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE MY HUSBAND DRIVES THE CAR BUT I DROVE IT AT NIGHT LAST NIGHT AND I NOTICED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME I THINK IT SHOULD BE BRIGHTER I HAVE TO KEEP FLASHING THE HIGH BEAMS TO MAKE SURE

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT SO DIM TONIGHT DRIVING ON HIGHWAY...I ALMOST WRECKED 3 TIMES...IT IS LIKE DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AT ALL....I EVEN STOPPED AT STORE TO CHECK IF THEY WERE ON. YES THEY WERE ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

LOW BEAMS ON HEADLIGHTS NO LONGER LIGHT UP ENOUGH TO SAFELY DRIVE ABOVE 25 MPH. THEY HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. IT IS A KNOW FACT THAT THE FILM INSIDE THE PROJECTOR LENS IS FAILING, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR EVEN DEATHS NEED TO OCCUR BEFORE THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT, SO IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.

THE LOW BEAM ON MY ALTIMA 2014 SV 4CY. 2.5L, IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE. THERE IS MINIMAL VISIBILITY AT NIGHT WITH LOW BEAM, CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS PROBLEM ON THE ROADWAY. THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE PROBLEM ON MY ALTIMA, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON MOST OF THE 2013, 2014, 2015, ETC. MODELS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PRODUCTION PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. CHANGING BULBS TO A HIGHER QUALITY HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED APPROX. $1000.00 TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AS WELL AS OTHERS THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM OVER TIME, WHICH MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GILES NISSAN LAFAYETTE (6137 JOHNSTON ST, LAFAYETTE, LA 70503) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PROJECTOR LENS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *TT *TR

BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN HAS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT BUT HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THE PARTS AND NOT LABOR. BY ACCEPTING TO PAY PART IS AN ADMISSION OF GUILT ON NISSAN'S PART. THE NISSAN DEALER'S MECHANIC (CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN 954-753-1700)HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE TYPE OF VEHICLES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHTS WITH THE HEADLAMPS AND CAN CAUSE A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL ALSO CONFIRM THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE JUST GOTTEN SUPER DIM THAT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND OVER TIME THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT PROJECTION DIMMED OVER TIME THAT I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE BULB AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I THEN UPGRADED TO LED LIGHTING AND THE LIGHTING PROJECTION IS STILL TO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I MENTIONED IT TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. MY CAR HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER 2 YEARS. HEADLIGHTS DON'T LIGHT UP NO MORE THAN 15 FT WHICH IS NO GOOD WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH.

SINCE THE FIRST WEEK WE OWNED THE CAR, OCCASIONALLY THE SCREEN(BACK UP CAM, RADIO...) DOESN'T START, OR FAILS WITHIN FIRST MILE OF DRIVING- MAYBE 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE DATE. ON JULY 29, 2015- MORNING- CAR UPON START, NO SCREEN AND NO DASHBOARD. RESTARTED TWICE AND THEN FINE. AT 9:30 P.M. SAME DAY-- CLOSE TO HOME, SIDE MIRROR FAILURE WARNING SHOWED ON DASH- AND A SUBSEQUENT FAILURE OF SYSTEMS- INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO- GPS, SCREEN, TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS,HAZARD LIGHTS, ALL DASH INFORMATION. I PULLED INTO PARKING GARAGE AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN WINDOW TO USE KEY FOB FOR GATE AND HAD NO OPERATING WINDOWS, INCLUDING SUNROOF OR LOCKS. PUT CAR IN PARK AND COULD NOT GET IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR.TRAPPED IN CAR FOR 15 MIN. WITH CAR RUNNING- PASSENGER DOOR THEN UNLOCKED. AAA CALLED. CAR RAN FOR 3 HRS. AAA DISABLED THE ELECTRICAL OPERATING THE FUEL PUMP. CAR TOWED TO COCHRAN IN PITTSBURGH. SINCE A RESTART RESETS THE COMPUTER, NO CODE ON DIAGNOSTIC WOULD BE FOUND. COCHRAN CONSIDERS THE SITUATION RESOLVED. NISSAN HAS A CASE # AND SEVERAL RECORDED (BY NISSAN) CONVERSATIONS HAVE OCCURRED WITH REGIONAL REP. AND THAT REP. WILL NOT SEND WRITTEN FINDINGS OF INVESTIGATION (CHECK THE I KEY)AS IT IS INTERNAL INFORMATION AND I WILL PAY ALL DIAGNOSTIC FEES ASSOCIATED. REP HAS NO TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND HAS NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT AN I KEY IS OR HOW OR FOR WHAT IT SHOULD BE CHECKED. THERE IS A DIRECTIVE FROM NISSAN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AS TOLD TO ME BY WRIGHT NISSAN, BUT AGAIN NOTHING WILL BE DONE WITHOUT THE CODE FROM DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN- BUT IT WILL AND IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC-THE INTERMITTENT, RANDOM, SYSTEMATIC FAILURE WILL HAPPEN- THE EXTENT AND ORDER OF EVENTS UNKNOWN - LEAVING US AN UNCERTAIN OUTCOME AND NO PLAN FOR RESPONSE IN THE GIVEN SITUATION. WE SUSPECT THE PROBLEM IS THE BCM AS ALERTED BY THE INTERNET RESEARCH, THE AAA DRIVER AND THE COCHRAN TECH.

REAR TAILLIGHT HOUSINGS FOG UP BADLY, SOME DEALERSHIPS DIDN'T RECOGNIZE PROBLEM THEN ONE DID WHEN I DID NOT GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY THEY SENT THE PARTS BACK! FINALLY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN THEY CHANGED THEM ONE HAD A MARK INSIDE OF THE FIXTURE, PART MISSING INSIDE TRUCK AND A NEW SCRATCH MARK ON THE CAR, ALSO PUT IN INCORRECTLY! THIS CAR IS TURNING INTO A FRANKENSTEIN CAR AND EXACTLY WHAT AND HOW EVERYTHING BEING DONE TO IT TO DEVALUE THIS CAR IS HAPPENING! FACTORY SEALS ARE BEING BROKEN AND NOT BEING FIXED AT ALL IS THE OUTCOME! THE TAIL LIGHTS FOG UP MORE THAN THE LAST ONES! THIS CAR IS A LEMON! *TR
