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.

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
Low beam headlights dim dealer says needs both complete headlight assemblies replaced this is a safety issue too dim to illuminate the street to drive at night
The low-beam lights suddenly became dim. It is almost impossible to see at night. The lamps are much dimmer than the day before.
Changing (or even upgrading) the light bulbs has not improved night vision. The dim lights are a safety hazard to the people in my car and to others on the street.
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.
Front headlights very dim at night. Cannot see road.very poor visibility. Replaced bulbs and it did not improve the visibility.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. The contact stated that the low beam headlights failed to illuminate brightly as the contact's visibility was obscured. The vehicle was taken to kraft nissan (3277 mahan drive, tallahassee, fl 32308, 1‑850‑576‑6171) where it was diagnosed that the headlight assemblies were fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to call the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was 59,106.
My low beam headlights were getting dim, but I thought it was just the bulb going bad but both at the same time, took out the bulbs and they were as bright as ever . In reading on line , I found so many people with the same problems and nissan knows about this . I almost killed someone last night because I could not see them because of the lights. Until someone actually gets killed , I don't think anyone will do anything about it, but nissan knows and they will not recall.
Every since I bought the car it has had low visibility at night I complained about it to them it is going to end up costing over 1500 to fix it but they wait to the warranty is out to tell me this nissan should have done put out a recall on them but won't due to the cost I can't even drive my car at night any more may let it go back the cars came out with bad parts in them when you tell them bout things wrong they push it off till warranty runs out that tells you they already knew bout it
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
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!
