| Description of the problem | I bought the 2013 nissan ultima with stock lights. While driving at night with my low beams on i could not operate the vehicle safely because i could not see the road. I tried replacing the low beams three separate times with high priced led lightbulbs and i still have the same issue. I can not drive at night because i can not see the lines or the road. Driving at night causes me to become a safety hazard to other drivers. I have discovered that countless people have this issue with the same model. I can get it fixed through nissan but it will cost roughly $1,000 and i do not have that kind of money to fix a problem that is not my fault. I am asking for a recall of this particular port of the car, otherwise, if i continue to drive at night it is only a matter of time before i hurt myself or others. |
