What 2014 Nissan Maxima owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The dim lights on the vehicle are very dim, the fog lights are brighter than the dim lights. I’ve replaced the bulbs and headlights and neither fixed the issue. You can barely see in front of the car with the dim lights. It’s very unsafe to drive at night.
Low beam headlights are extremely/dangerously low even if the lights are brand new. In my opinion it's extremely dangerous to drive with only my high beams on but thats the only way I can see at night theres no confidence in relying on my low beams.
Low beam headlights are dangerously low. No matter the quality of bulbs or the clarity of the lights the low beam headlights offer extremely limited visibility. Requires high beams when driving at night. I have had numerous mechanics look at the issue and it stems from a failure of the projector in the headlamp.

I’ve been getting pulled over by the state trooper because of my headlights they’re stating they aren’t bright enough. The bulb was changed and still same problem. My Nissan was slow to accelerate while driving, then looses power, turns off.
Driver side headlight intermittently shuts off and dims while driving and stationary. Switching lights from "on" to "automatic" or vice-versa relights the bulb.
Dim headlight
Headlights are not bright at all. At night time, I always have to drive with my brights on. Can't see two-three feet in front of me at night without the brights on. Blinker light is brighter than headlights. Have gotten my headlights replaced a couple of times with no relief of issues.
