| Description of the problem | The low beam headlights are very dim and the driver is unable to see more than 10-15 feet in front making it nearly impossible to navigate the vehicle at night time. A written complaint was sent directly to nissan with no response for this issue. I spoke with the service department and was told this is the nature of projector lights. The car was purchased new and has been an issue for quite some time. It is time that i speak up because this is a major safety concern and i fear for my family's well being when they drive at night. I noticed there are many complaints on this site as well as the internet for the same issue. The manufacturer should consider a recall/ repair of this issue before someone gets hurt or worse due to lack of adequate lighting at night. |
