2015 Nissan Altima Exterior Lighting

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. (HIGH BEAM IS FINE.) LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM YOU HAVE TO ALSO USE THE FOG/DRIVING LIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT, MY CAR HAS THEM, SOME MODELS DON,T. CHANGING THE BULBS DID NOT HELP AT ALL, OUTSIDE LENS IS CLEAR. USING HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT IRRITATES AND IS DANGEROUS TO ON COMING DRIVERS. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING LIKE THAT AT ALL. LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE SEE, THEY ARE NOT.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. BULBS WERE CHANGED AND DON'T HELP. AFTER READING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS. WE CAN ONLY DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND HAS CAUSED ME TO BE IN ALMOST 2 ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS ALOT

THE REFLECTION ASSEMBLY IN BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS HAS BEEN COMING APART RESULTING IN A GRADUAL LOSS OF BRIGHTNESS. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DIMMER SWITCH SHIFTED TO THE OFF POSITION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DIM THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

HEADLIGHTS ARE REAL DIM THE LENS ARE CLEAN AN CLEAR CANT HARDLY TELL THEY ARE ON

THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS HAVE BECOME DIM TO THE POINT WHERE MY VISION IS IMPAIRED DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF A NEPHEW WHO OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS NEPHEW WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, HIS VISIBILITY WAS DECREASED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ILLUMINATED FROM THE HEADLAMPS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (ROYAL NISSAN LOCATED AT 9325 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70815) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REFLECTOR IN THE HEADLAMP HOUSING WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

LOW BEAMS ARE DANGEROUSLY LOW AND HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS. NIGHT DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS IS AWFUL! VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS!

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. I CAN'T SEE WELL AT NIGHT AS A RESULT. DEALER TOLD ME THE BULBS ARE FINE AND THAT THE PROBLEM RESIDES WITH THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. FILM HAS DEVELOPED ON THE LENSE/PROJECTOR. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1,300 TO FIX THIS WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY CAR IS WELL KEPT (GARAGED)...

MY HEADLIGHT DIM NOT BRIGHT NEVER WAS PERFECT EVEN BEGINNING TIME BY TIME GETTING WORSE MAY GETTING MORE WORSE LAST YEARS . I REPLACED LIGHT BULB BUT DIDN'T CHANGED SAME DIM L AFRAID TO DRIVE EVENING NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IF RAINY DAY I DON'T DRIVE AT ALL BECAUSE U CANT SEE NOTHINK THESE HEAD LIGHT THAT BAD . .L BOUGHT MY CAR BEGINNING TO 2016 ONLY 4 YEARS OLD CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP BULBS WERE INOPERABLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT USED THE HIGH BEAM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNIVERSAL NISSAN (12785 S. ORANGE BLOSSOM TRL, ORLANDO, FL 32837) WHERE THE HEADLAMP BULBS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THE HEADLIGHTS OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 IS REALLY WEEK AND IS BECOMING WEAKER DAY BY DAY TO THE POINT IT'S HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY IN RAIN, SNOW OR FOG. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS ACCUMMULATION OF WATER VAPOR INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THEY DON'T GO AWAY.

WHEN YOUR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER THAN YOUR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. HAVE REPLACED BULBS WITH MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS TWICE. POLY-CARBONATE HOUSING IS STILL RELATIVELY CLEAR, NO CHANGE IN CONDITION. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS HARROWING. ON HIGHWAY, WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND, THEIR HEADLIGHTS CREATE A SHADOW THAT THE ALTIMA BEAMS CANNOT OVERCOME. ON CITY STREETS OR COUNTY ROADS IF THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS THE LOW BEAMS PROJECT ABOUT 20 FEET. HIGH BEAMS OK UNTIL ENCOUNTER ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND MUST SWITCH TO LOW BEAMS. AT THAT POINT YOU ARE TOTALLY IN THE BLACK DUE TO THE ALTIMA WEAK BEAMS AND THE ON-COMING HEADLIGHTS. THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS HOPE THAT A WHITE LINE IS PAINTED ON THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY AND TRY TO STAY IN THE LANE. FOG CONDITIONS AT NIGHT ARE HORRIBLE WITH WEAK LOW BEAM LIGHTS. VISIBILITY IS ABOUT 3 FEET. TURNING HIGH BEAMS ON MAKES IT EQUALLY BAD. I CAN TRY TO TAKE SOME COMPARISON PICTURES IF NHTSA THINKS IT WILL HELP CLARIFY THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT REFLECTOR USED IN LIGHTING HOUSING GOES BAD AND VERY LITTLE LIGHT IS ACTUALLY PROJECTED, NO MATTER WHAT BULB IS INSTALLED. MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNUSABLE AT NIGHT AND DEFINITELY IN RAIN OR FOG. ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT LET MY TEEN DRIVE THE ALTIMA AT NIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS USG SUPPORT. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY - REFUTING CLAIMS BY OWNERS AND STATING OVER $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL WITHOUT USG INTERVENTION AND WE NEED NHTSA'S HELP!

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY FAINT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKS IF I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON. I DON'T EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER ANYMORE DUE TO THE LACK OF LIGHTING BEING PROJECTED FROM MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA IT'S TOO UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS IN MY CAR AND I HAVE 20/20 VISION SO IT'S NOT MY EYES!

I HAVE SPENT OVER 500 ON LIGHTS BULBS AND LIGHTING ON THIS ALTIMA 2015 '..THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE BULBS ARE TRASH THERE R VERY VERY VERY DIM FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE,I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE,REPLACE,RESTORATION ITS LIKE IM GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND ITS RIDICULOUS TO PRODUCE POOR LIGHTING ON A CAR AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY NOW!! I DRIVE IN THE DAY NOW WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT CAUSE NO LIGHTS HAVE TO USE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE WHOM EVER IT MAY CONCERN THIS NEED TO BE RECALL NOOOOWWW BEFORE SOMEBODIES DIE BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE FIX THAT NISSAN SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS UNTIL SOMEONE DIES IN A CRASH '..NOW!!!!!

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I HAVE HAD THE NISSAN DEALER CHECK THESE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. MY GRANDDAUGHTER BORROWED MY CAR AND SHE THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. THESE HEADLIGHTS NEED A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

MY HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT, I ALMOST HIT A TROOPER ON A DARK ROAD AT A SCHOOL ,LIGHTS WERE VERY DIM AND HE HAD ON DARK CLOTHES.THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING DIMER EVERY NIGHT.I WAS TURNING IN TO A SCHOOL .

OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (APROX. 2 YEARS), THE HEADLIGHT LOW-BEAM OUTPUT HAS DECREASED TO UNSAFE LEVELS. AT NIGHT, IT IS HARD TO TELL IF THE HEADLIGHT ARE EVEN ON, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT ALL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE BULBS, AND CLEANING THE LENS, BUT NEITHER HAS HELPED. I LOOKED FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THE REFLECTOR MATERIAL INSIDE THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT HAS BURNT OFF FROM REGULAR USE IN THE 2 YEARS THAT I OWNED THE CAR (PURCHASED NEW), THERE IS ALMOST NO REFLECTIVE MATERIAL LEFT IN THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THAT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT IS COVERED BY ANY OF THE WARRANTIES, THERE IS ALSO NO RECALL FOR THIS PART WHICH I FIND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. EVERY SINGLE 2014+ ALTIMA THAT I SEE ON THE STREET APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE CAR ISN'T LIT, AND I AM SURE IT IS ALSO DUE TO THE BURNED OFF REFLECTORS IN THEIR HEADLIGHTS AS WELL.

VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. CAN NOT SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS LOOK LIKE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS WHEN TURNED ON, NOT VERY BRIGHT TO BE BRIGHT LIGHTS. IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CHANGED OUT THE BULBS TWICE TO HALOGEN AND LED AND NEITHER FIXED THE PROBLEM.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER. I REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE. BUT THEY ARE STILL DIMMING. NOW HAVING TO USE HIGH BEAMS ALL THE TIME.

LENS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS BURNT OFF AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM.

LENS IN THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING IS BURNT OFF TO THE POINT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. BIG SAFETY ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY LOW. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE DIM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP AFTER VIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FEEDBACK FROM DEALERSHIPS LESS THAN HELPFUL. I KNOW THAT HEADLIGHTS (BULBS) SHOULD BE REPLACED FROM TIME TO TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER REPLACING BULBS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, IS BELOW INDUSTRY STANDARDS. AS OF NOW THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NOT DISCOVERED ANY REAL INFORMATION FROM NHTSA, PRO OR CON, ON THIS ISSUE WHICH IS CONCERNING TO ME. I WOULD HOPE THAT DUE DILIGENCE AND FOLLOW UP TO CONSUMERS FROM NHTSA, ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT, IS FORTHCOMING OR AT THE LEAST DIRECTIVES ARE GIVEN AS TO RESOLUTIONS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, PURCHASING BRIGHTER BULBS DON'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED THAT. YOUR FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED CONCERNING THIS HEADLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE ON MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA.

WHEN I 1ST BOUGHT THE CAR I UPGRADED THE HEADLIGHTS TO LED LOW BEAMS. THIS PRODUCED A NICE LIGHT AND THE LIGHTING INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH A VERY SHARP CUTOFF LINE. THIS WAS ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE LOW BEAMS BARELY PRODUCE A BLOB OF LIGHR AND THERE IS NO CUTOFF LINE FOR THE LIGHTS VISIBLE. MY FOG LIGHTS ACTUALLY LIGHT UP THE ROAD BETTER THAN THE LOW BEAMS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH VERY VISIBLE LIGHT ACTUALLY HITTING THE ROAD. I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS VERY SOON AS I DO ALLOT OF NIGHTTIME DRIVING GOING TO AND FROM WORK IN THE WINTER MONTHS. IF THE ROADS ARE WET OR DAMP THE LIGHTING DOES NOT EVEN LIGHT UP THE LANE MARKER LINES THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE ESSPECIALLY ON CURVY ROADS.
