2013 Nissan ALTIMA Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1242686
Internal NHTSA #	10807635
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	31/10/14
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The low beam headlights are entirely inadequate to provide sufficient lighting intensity and failed to safely illuminate the street ahead of you. This creates a very dangerous situation when driving at night, while raining, or under any low visibility conditions since you are not able to see objects, even worst, pedestrians in the path of travel. This issue has been present since i bought the car (brand new), but became a real serious and safety hazard between 15k-20k miles. Unfortunately, i have to constantly drive with the high beams at night leaving other drivers with a partial blindness; which i consider it unfair and unsafe, too. Sometimes, when i switch to low for an oncoming vehicle, i suddenly find myself driving completely without sufficient light. My eyes become partially blind due to the change in light intensity. As a safety professional in the aviation industry, i hope that nissan and nhtsa do something sooner, because tomorrow might be too late.
