| Description of the problem | The headlights are so bad that it's a driving hazard when driving outside of areas with very good street lighting, or on rural roads. With the headlights (on low) you can't see "anything" and if some is walking, or biking, on the road (or if there is an animal), you don't see them until it's "too late". Please force nissan to make re-call and change the healdights. There are several post on internet about it and it's clear is's not a "usage" issues, but just a bad design/product. I have not had an accident (yet) so this petition is to pre-positive one, to avoid that accidents happen. |
