2013 Nissan ALTIMA Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	13/11/19

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I purchased my altima from a dealership as a certified used vehicle. The first time i drove at night i noticed that the headlights were dangerously dim. The headlights were so dim, that (while the car was stationary) i turned the headlights on and off, and there was no difference in visibility. I returned to the dealership within a week, where they charged me to install upgraded bulbs. This did not fix the problem- even with upgraded, brighter bulbs there in no projection of light onto the roadway. The lights are visible from the outside (if you are looking at the car, you can see that the lights are on), but from the outside looking at the car you can see that they appear very dim. The bright setting on the vehicle appears to be unaffected. The vehicle is not safe to operate in the dark without the bright setting being utilized and presents a hazard to both occupants of the vehicle and people and property outside of the vehicle. The dealership is going to try changing out the bulbs again, but if that doesn't work they are telling me that there is nothing that can be done- which means that the vehicle is unsafe to operate in dim or dark light conditions.
