| Description of the problem | My low beam head lights are a hazard to my night driving, they are extremely dim. And through months have worsened to where it is a hazard to drive at night. I have taken my vehicle to my dealership, and they agree that the entire head lamp system needs to be replaced, i contacted nissan consumer affairs, who contacted my dealership, they agreed, and stated they would pay 70 %, so my issue is , if they are willing and agree to pay 70%, this is a vehicle malfunction, and this should not be my responsibility, there should be a total recall on this issue, and full payment for this issue. There are multiple complaints on carcomplaints. Com as well. Please look in to this issue, and take care of this hazardous issue. I am waiting for a reply, from you and my dealership.
