Description of the problem	At 53,000 miles the transmission would no longer function. Transmission had to be replaced. At about 130,000 miles i notice that when headlights were on low beam you could barely see the road at night time. So i did some research on thi vehicle what i found out was on nissan altimas manufactured between 2013 -2015 have the same problem. You do not have sufficient lighting on low beam. You have to use high beam on dark roads. This is a major safety issue with these vehicles. I have had the nissan dealership in my local area new port richey put in the exact bulbs car came with from factory same issue poor lighting on low beam. I then had nissan dealership put in bulbs that i purchased on line these bulbs put out 8000 lumens and these bulbs are led bulbs. The factory nissan bulbs put out 1200 lumens and are halogen bulbs. Both sets of bulbs i got same result insuffiecient lighting on low beam. The nissan technician told me i would have to replace both headlight assemblies at a cost of $700. 00. I feel these headlight lens were a manufacturing defect without question therefore i feel nissan should be held liable for replacing the defective parts. I have receipts from dealership for work performed. I have also filed a complaint with the bbb autoline dept, and filed a compaint with nissan consumer affairs. This is a very hazardous situation and god forbid someone will lose their life over something like this.
