| Description of the problem | I am writing to you regarding my 2013 nissan altima. I am having an issue with my low beam headlights. Apparently i was on my way home one evening with my baby and i had on my low beams and i could not see the road ahead of me, the lights were on; but, nothing was coming out of it. My husband changed the bulb and still nothing. I took it to sutherlin nissan and the service guy told me he is aware of the problems with the headlights in the 2013 altima, and he have seen numerous ones that had to be changed. I am out of warranty; so, i was told it would be $130 to check it out to see what is going on. This past friday my car started losing power and shutting off, i took it to the shop and they had to change the air flow sensor and when the guy checked my headlights he said it is black inside the projection area nothing will come through even if you changed the bulbs and i even bought a led kit and the shop told me nothing will work because the projection is burnt out. I have had three altima |
