| Description of the problem | "takata recall" i purchased this vehicle in october 2018. Since the purchase, my low beam headlights have made me run completely off of the road once and almost got hit by another vehicle because of the severely dim; almost non-existent low beams. Therefore i have been forced to drive at night using only my high beams because as a single mother of 4, i cannot afford to replace or repair entire assemble. I have replaced the bulbs a couple times and was told by a mechanic at local parts store that the "projector" has obviously gone out and that all altima with that type of lights experience issue. Please help me. |
