2015 Nissan Altima lights complaints
Page 4 of 10: complaints 71 to 100 of 270, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Have trouble seeing where I'm going in the dark. Nissan knows about this problem, but says it could take 9 months to get replacement headlight assembly. How did Nissan get away with not getting a safety recall? Did they line the right pockets?
Low beam headlamps very dim causing poor lighting. Had headlamps replaced per law suit settlement agreement. Still problem unresolved. Returned to dealership to complain and was told headlamps pass their testing. Still low beam lamps are so dim its creating a safety hazard, so, I drive with high beams on. Dealership refused to drive my car at night to verify hazard. Dealership told me to buy aftermarket headlamps and they will charge me to install. This issue is not being resolved with the law suit agreement and many consumers are very upset that they are driving around with very low beam lighting.
Received a recall notice from Nissan USA that said headlights could dim below acceptable levels. Took the vehicle into Colonial Nissan in Charlottesville VA in April 2022. Dealership confirmed our car had the problem but said no parts were available. I have checked back every 30 days since then and am always told no parts are available and Nissan can’t say when they will be. We have ceased driving the car at night due to dim headlights.
Dim lights do not provide adequate lighting. Even after replacing bulbs, amour of light given off on dim setting does not provide adequate lighting for safe night driving.
The headlights are too dim to pass safety inspection there has been no recall but there has been s sort of class action lawsuits Why no recall to get the headlights replaced The entire headlight assembly is bad
Low beam headlights on 2015 Nissan Altima are defective and Nissan or dealer are not replacing as needed. This is a safety issue.
Altima Headlight Class Action Lawsuit, issue did not begin to occur until after the deadline of 4/25/22 and did not receive a notice. Headlights are so dim and I have to drive in the dark that this puts myself and others at risk. The Nissan dealership will not look at the headlights until my VIN has been included in the federal safety agency database they refer to.
The gear stick gets stuck when trying to shift gears it wont move from Parking, headlights seem to not give enough lighting when on, I have replaced the transmission after 3years of having the vehicle, I still owe on the loan and the vehicle still shakes when driving over 80mph on the freeway. I dont currently have any warning lights on the vehicle. I have taken the vehicle many times for repairs for the same complaint that the vehicle shakes when driving it and the problem still has not been resolved. I already spent a lot of money on trying to fix the problems.
Nissan has a recall for headlamps, i am an owner of a make and model and year of said recall, and have attempted to have headlamps corrected; dealership says i won’t receive the remedy. I cannot see with the current headlight and it is a safety issue.
Headlamps are very dim took vehicle for headlamps replacement, according to the dealership headlamps are okay. I am driving at night with basically no headlamps which makes it a safety hazard for me and other motor vehicles drivers.
Headlights low beams does not work properly, you can hardly see the road at night, at first I thought it was the bulbs, but I went to buy some LED lights to see if it worked better but it did not, I even paid for my headlights to be polished, but did not see any change, I looked for information and there was a law sue against nissan for the headlights, they find out that the chrome inside the light gets deteriorated with time and that causes that the light get blurred,and the only solution is to buy new headlights, which I dont think is fair since is a manufacture problem and not a wear and tear issue, plus is a safety issue since you can not see clearly at night whenyou drive.

Driver side head light is defaulted does not reflect there for you are blind at night . I was pulled over by the cops and they told me that the next time I’m driving at night I will get a ticket…
My vehicle is part of the class action suit for Nissan Altima headlamp assemblies. I have gone through the proper channels with Nissan. In the interim I have had a bulb go out. At this point my car is dangerous to drive after dark and I must drive with high beams on. Nissan will not do anything to help except to say that I am on the list. I avoid driving after dark as much as possible, but some times it is absolutely necessary. Nissan is being negligent in this by not offering any solution and not being willing to help with the replacement bulb or trying to expedite the replacement of my headlamp assemblies. If there is an accident due to the state of the headlamps I will take legal action against Nissan.
Nissan Altima headlights do not work effectively and barely illuminate the roadway. Recall was issued for headlight replacements months ago. Car was brought to dealership months ago for headlight inspection and approved for headlight replacements. Multiple phone calls have been made to find out when the actual headlight replacement will occur but still have not received an answer to if/when headlights will be replaced. Have tried replacing headlight bulbs with 3 different brands/types of bulbs and none of them make a difference with the brightness of headlights.
There was a class action lawsuit for the highlights on my Nissan. The first week of April 2022 we had the highlights check by a Nissan Dealer. We were told that it is included in the Lawsuit and that they would replace the highlights. They had to order them and would call when the came in. It has been two months and they keep saying the replacement highlights has not come in. I call the parts department and was told that I could come in and pay for them. Then they could have them next day. Call the service department and was told again that our car is on a waiting list for the highlights. They don't know when they will well have the replacement highlights. The car can not be driven at night without the high lights on. We were pull over one night for riding with the highlights on oncoming vehicles and told that it is not safe to drive the car until the lights are fixed.

I took my vehicle in for the light delamination recall. In the last year I have had to replace my headlamps with with three different types headlights because you cannot see at night with the lights on. None of them worked. I order to see at night I have to drive with my brights on otherwise nothing is visible. The Nissan service department denied the recall stating there wasn’t an issue. But prior to my appointment they stated they were out of parts.
Head lights are very dim
The Headlights are so dim and cause me to be unable to see the road and makes it non driveable at night time.
Lowbeams on car are dangerous hen driven at night. Can hardly see 10 feet in front of car
I purchased this car second hand and the headlamps have been very dim since purchasing the vehicle. These are available for inspection. I cannot see without my bright lights on, even on moderately lit roadways. Driving with dim headlights is dangerous for me (as well as others) and driving with my brights on is dangerous to others. I received a letter regarding a class action on the headlamps and scheduled an appointment for replacement referencing the letter when I scheduled. When I arrived for my appointment I asked if I pay out of pocket and and am reimbursed? I was told no, they would do a spray test, and if failed, Nissan would replace. When I picked up my vehicle I was told the headlamps passed, to my extreme surprise. My invoice states “sprayed headlights with Nissan glass cleaner, headlight pattern ok”. No test was mentioned in the class action letter. I was told to contact 1-800-Nissan1 if I had a problem. I called and Nissan was apathetic. I called the number on the class action letter and was unable to speak to a person. This problem has been evident since purchasing the vehicle. Nissan refuses anything is wrong and my vehicle is practically inoperable at night.
I am not able to see the road correctly when I drive. I thought it was my vision so I bought stronger glasses but it was not working. Its the light bulb in car is soooo dim. Also the front window fogs up to the point of having a car accident. I have to have the window open and even on cold days to be able to see. If it rains I cant see at all. I have to put the AC on it so I can see. Its a nightmare to drive at night. Please help. This has been such a difficult thing to drive with at night. Thank you. I do love my car.
