2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WITHOUT MY BRIGHTS TURNED ON. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ME THAT I AM ONE OF MANY EXPERIENCING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS ON THE VEHICLE FAILED TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZZARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN NORTH (8645 N. HIGH ST, COLUMBUS, OH 43235, (614)846-8100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND BECAME WORSE OVER TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

WHILE DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THERE IS VERY LOW VISIBILITY, IT ALMOST APPEARS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT ON AT ALL. WHEN SWITCHING TO THE HIGH BEAMS THEY APPEAR TO NOT BE AS BRIGHT AS NORMAL EITHER. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT I FEAR COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION DUE TO VERY LOW VISIBILITY.

THE LOW BEAMS HAVE ARE HORRIBLE. VISIBILITY IS LESS THAN 100 FEET. BRIGHTS NEED TO BE USED CREATING AN EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO FUN LOOKS AS IF THEY ARE NOT ON, AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON EVEN WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT, BOTH AIR BAG LIGHTS ON DASK AND IN CONSOLE. DOESN'T MATTER IF CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT COMPLETELY DANGEROUS

THE DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE BARELY VISIBLE. PROVIDES ALMOST ZERO LIGHT ON THE ROAD. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME. HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES AND RECENTLY LEARNED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2013-2015 MODELS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS THAT DO NOTHING.

THE HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A KNOWN ISSUE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED ON THE ALTIMA AND THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. WHY HAD THIS NOT BEEN DONE? IT'S VERY UNSAFE. I JUST GOT THE ALTIMA AND IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN LIGHTS ARE NEEDED.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO DIM THAT I CANNOT DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. NOT ONLY ARE THE LOW BEAMS EXTREMELY DIM, THEY DO NOT PROJECT FAR DOWN THE ROAD AT ALL OR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY ONLY SEEM TO PROJECT IN A SMALL AREA DOWN ON THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME THUS CAUSING HUGE VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO SCAN/SEE WHAT IS COMING UP IN FRONT OF ME. IT IS A HUGE DANGER FOR NIGHT DRIVING IF YOU CANNOT SEE WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD VERY HARD. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE DUE TO HOOD FLYING UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. IT DAMAGED MY SIDE FENDERS DUE TO IMPACT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20MPH ON A SIDE ROAD IN GAHANNA OH. IT HAPPENED ON 12/28/2020. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF OPEN RECALLS VIA MAIL NOR EMAIL. I AM HIGHLY UPSET AT THE FACT IT COULD HAVE HARMED ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE EXTREEMELY DIM ON THIS VEHICLE. SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT
