| Description of the problem | My 2013 nissan altima is having the same problem as everyone else's. The exterior headlamps are dim to the point of failure. Light bulbs were changed out to no avail. Dealership wants almost $1,200 to repair and customer service was insulting through 1 800 nissan 1. They insist i go pay to have a nissan dealership diagnose the issue out of my own pocket, come back to them and request a correction or assistance with correcting the issue. Pretty much told me it wasn't going to happen because the car was out of warranty. Car currently has 77000 miles on it . Huge safety issue... A class action lawsuit is being researched and i will definitely be part of it. |
