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.

Defective headlamps that delaminate and result in dimming of the low beam headlights. Driving at night is hazardous. My car failed headlight inspection at dealership on 5/07/22. Claimed that my car was not reflected in the system as one eligible for free replacement under the class action lawsuit depsite the fact I followed all instructions. Furthermore the dealerships do not have the headlights in stock and are on backorder. They cannot give a date when they will be in. And the cost is $1400!!!!! I fear this car and other Nissan cars with dimming headlights are accidents waiting to happen. I limit my driving at night and use high beams when possible. I am a senior citizen with vision issues. Please advise. Thankyou. Denise Puttre [email protected] 508‑446‑0939

My low beam lights are very dim. I can barely see at night. I have replace the light bulbs and that did not help. I have to constantly drive with high beam on but with incoming traffic I have to go back to low beam and it's like the incoming traffic is blinding me. I can barely drive the car a night due to this issue. It's been an ongoing problem with the lights. They are getting worsened by the day.

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.

Takata recall: the driver side sun visor in my 2014 altima has somehow broken from the inside-out. I would estimate that it began malfunctioning over the last year. It will not stay clipped into place and it seems the clip or some piece inside of the visor affects the ability for the visor to function properly. The visor being broken is a safety concern because it prohibits my view as the driver and the visor swings into my view when turning. When the visor is locked in place, I have to crouch down to see under it. It seems to be a hazard and concern for many other nissan owners. The real issue of safety and the hazard is that the visor wasn't broken due to poor use, it seems to have been defective from its inception.

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 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.
