Description of the problem	The headlights for this vehicle are extremely dim and unsafe when driving at night! They are so dim that other oncoming cars will flash their headlights at me thinking i am using running daylights or have no lights on at all!! I cannot see the road well at night at all and am forced to use the high beams for safety! I originally believed that the issue was the bulbs themselves and i have replaced them twice with no resolution to the issue. I purchased this vehicle literally off the showroom floor with 9 miles on it, in feb 2016. The first bulb replacement was on 2. 16. 2019, and i have documentation supporting that replacement. The second replacement was on 2. 22. 2020, which i did myself as the cost of the labor was too high. This also did not resolve the issue. When i reached out to the dealership that sold me the vehicle, they advised that it was a known issue with the projector reflective finish inside the headlight assembly. They stated that nissan was well aware of the issue, however they have no plans on a safety recall and my only solution is to replace the headlight assembly, for a whopping $880! Nissan needs to own up to this safety hazard and take care of its consumers. I have been a loyal nissan customer - have purchased four vehicles within 6 years - all new and this is how i am treated? How everyone with the same vehicle and issue is treated? There is a class action investigation happening right now over this issue, anyone who has not shared their experience, needs to do so!
