2013 Nissan ALTIMA Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1688659
Internal NHTSA #	11353903
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	07/09/20
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Low beam headlights are dangerously dim. Fog lights are brighter than low beams. Must drive car with high beams on to see at night. Illegal to drive with high beams on - fear ticket for traffic violation. Fear causing an accident because of blinding another oncoming driver with high beams on. Had one low beam die while on a 250 mile trip and could not see at night with only one low beam on. I have heard of other complaints for 2013-15 nissan altima headlamps being too dim. (series 5-?) bought car new in 2014 and have had problems with lights for three years. Preliminary reports indicate plastic reflective bowl in headlamp is defective because materials degrade and wear out over time. Nissan has remained silent and dealership will check for moisture and state that headlamps are withing specs. These headlamps are defective and the ntsb should investigate and issue a recall.- before someone gets hurt or dies. I could not see pedestrians crossing the road last night while my low beams were on. My vision is fine and my speed was only 30 mph on a city street, but pedestrians crossing the road were not seen by myself or front seat passenger until it was almost too late. I just replaced the headlamps with upgraded sylvania bulbs not more than a week ago. Nissan should replace the front headlamp lenses on both the left and right side - without charge. A safety recall needs to be issued.
