| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The headlights on the 2014 altima are dangerously dim. At night they provide effectively no lighting. To see while driving at night, i must use my brights which then makes me a safety hazard to the visibility of other drivers on the road. I have replaced the light bulbs and also upgraded to led bulbs with little to no improvement. This issue is relevant on city streets, highways, or country roads, from dusk until dawn. While driving in the early morning hours it is extremely hard to see pedestrians and extra caution is required as a driver to ensure the safety of people around me as well as myself. |
