| Description of the problem | I want to start a recall for the 2013-2014 nissan altima. The lights are not bright enough no matter how bright the bulb. It is certainly a safety issue because one has to drive using high beams at night in order to drive safely. I am told nissan is aware of the problem. I am also told that nissan says the entire housings has to be replaced. At a price to consumers of $1,000 this is so unfair. Consumers. Who brought nissan altima should not be punished for. Trusting this company this is unfair. Nissan needs to take the responsibility for their product and foot the bill. Several times i almost hit someone because i didnt see the person how can i start a recall? |
