EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL NEED TO BE PUT IN HARMS WAYS BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE TO REPAIR THIS APPARENT ISSUE?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NISSAN ALTIMA 2014, 88000 MILES. HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE BULBS, THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. BRIGHTS WORK FINE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE VEHICLE RECALL LIST ALTHOUGH WE ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUES. THE ISSUE OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS STILL OR IN MOTION AND WHETHER THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED OR NOT. IT'S NOT SAFE TO HAVE A PASSENGER.

AIR BAGS
ON 8/31/2018, I TOOK MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA INTO THE FRED HASS NISSAN SVC, DEPT. FOR AN OIL CHANGE, IN TOMBALL TX AND WHILE THERE, REPORTED THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS REMAINING ON AFTER 7 SECONDS AND REMAINED ON ALL THE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT CODE FOUND WAS CLEARED AND NO REPAIR WAS RECOMMENDED. ON 9/5/2018, I SPOKE WITH (XXXX), SVC, MGR. AT FRED NISSAN AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. MR. (XXXX) MADE A 7AM APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE SVC. DEPT., ON 9/6/2018 FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AND HE WOULD CONTACT NISSAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. LATER ON, MR. (XXXX) INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD SPOKEN WITH SOMEONE AT NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE REPAIRS TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR SYSTEM, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER MALFUNCTIONS OF SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEM OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENTS. THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON UPON A COLD AND WARM START AND REMAINS ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR WAS LOOSING POWER AND DYING WHEN PUT INTO GEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER TRYING TO GO. THOUGHT IT MAY BE A ALTERNATOR PROBLEM AS I WAS LOOSING POWER. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED ONE YEAR AGO AND NOW IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN I PLACED THE CAR IN GEAR AND STARTED MOVING AND IT DIED ON ME CROSSING A MAJOR HIGHWAY. NO WARNING SIGNS BEFOREHAND THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING ON WITH THE CAR.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUNROOF SHATTERED, SOUNDING LIKE A GUN SHOT. I HAD THE SUNROOF REPLACED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR IN 2014 FOR LEAKS. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE UNTIL TODAY (9/5/18). WE WERE TRAVELING ON US 75N NEAR COLLINS ROAD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS RANDOM OCCURRENCE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO BAD THAT IT'S A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN DRIVING OUTSIDE OF AREAS WITH VERY GOOD STREET LIGHTING, OR ON RURAL ROADS. WITH THE HEADLIGHTS (ON LOW) YOU CAN'T SEE "ANYTHING" AND IF SOME IS WALKING, OR BIKING, ON THE ROAD (OR IF THERE IS AN ANIMAL), YOU DON'T SEE THEM UNTIL IT'S "TOO LATE". PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO MAKE RE-CALL AND CHANGE THE HEALDIGHTS. THERE ARE SEVERAL POST ON INTERNET ABOUT IT AND IT'S CLEAR IS'S NOT A "USAGE" ISSUES, BUT JUST A BAD DESIGN/PRODUCT. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT (YET) SO THIS PETITION IS TO PRE-POSITIVE ONE, TO AVOID THAT ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
