| Description of the problem | The headlights on both side becomes extremely dim to see the road at night, which becomes hazardous. Went to nissan dealer who told this is a known problem in altima and no recall has been ordered. They were not sure of solution but told the whole assembly would need to be changed. Several times got beeped from incoming cars as the headlights were so dim as if headlights were not turned on. I first noticed this issue in july of 2019 and this issue has become more evident once my daughter started to practice driving using this car. |
