VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE DIM AND I HAVE HAD A PLETHORA OF NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES BECAUSE OTHER CARS FLASH THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS AT ME THINKING MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I WAS EVEN FOLLOWED AND TOLD THAT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND HAD TO SHOW THE DRIVER THAT MY LIGHTS WERE ON.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE THE ROAD. VISIBILITY IS LOW AND DANGEROUS. THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ONCOMING CARS ARE FLASHING LIGHTS AT ME WHILE DRIVING THINKING I DO NOT HAVE MY LIGHTS TURNED ON. THIS PROBLEM COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF ADDRESSED ASAP.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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. THE LIGHT IS BRIGHT WHEN UP CLOSE BUT IS BARELY VISIBLE FAR AWAY. BASICALLY, YOU ARE DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT AT NIGHT MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FACTORY LIGHT BEAMS WHERE DANGEROUSLY LOW. VISIBILITY WAS CLOSE TO NONE, OFTEN HAD TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS THE LIGHTBULB WHICH WAS REPLACED AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. 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. THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR SHOULD BE LOOKED AT, AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT A YEAR AGO I NOTICED I COULD NOT SEE WELL AT NIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM. THEY REPLACED IT. 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. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND PROVIDE THE REPAIRS. ACCIDENTS COULD HAPPEN DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR & PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE FRONT SEAT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY FROM AN IMPACT AS NEEDED. REQUEST ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS RELATED SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AND NOT VISIBLE DRIVING AT NITE. 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.

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.

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.
