Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle has terrible visibility at night when in motion. The vehicle has an inferior headlight assembly, causing you to drive nearly blind and to almost rely on the next vehicle in front of you to provide you a path. I initially thought it was the headlight bulbs that were the issue. I had changed them out and it only improved visibility ever so slightly. I was told by the nissan dealership that it is due to the headlight assembly frequently going bad. They told me that it is fairly common for the reflective part of the headlight assembly to go cloudy and go dim. They told me that since this was considered standard wear and tear, therefore not covered by warranty. They recommended me to replace the whole headlight assembly for over a grand. I was even recommended to buy them after market to save, however, this should not even be an issue! This issue presented itself after owning it from new for about 5 years. This is a known issue that nissan is refusing to address this issue. I have never experienced this type of issue with any other vehicle that i have owned. This is a hazard and can certainly cause safety hazards for the driver.
