Lighting the headlights are very dim at night hard to see without the brights on. Was informed that reflective material deterioration is the cause. No recall from the manufacturer. Transmission the cvt transmission has gone out on me at 67,000 and again at about 186000 miles. No compensation or recall from the manufacturer on this either. Poor quality.

The headlights have dimmed and can barely see at night. This is a very serious safety issue that is known by Nissan and there are numerous issues reported all over the internet. This must be corrected by the manufacturer immediately before someone is seriously injured or killed. I own 2 of these vehicles and they both have the same issues with poor headlight projection! the headlight reflector deterioration is so bad that I can see the shadow of my car in my headlight beams from the car's headlights behind me. I do not feel that the owners of these vehicles should bear the cost for replacement of oem parts and/or aftermarket parts due to this issue being the #2 complaint on NHTSA website behind airbags and amounts to 15% of all complaints filed against the vehicle. The manufacturer should issue recall immediately for inspection and repair/replacement resolution by certified dealer.

The low beam headlights have dimmed over time to the point that they do not provide adequate illumination to allow for night driving.

- Shelbyville, IN, USA

I have been experiencing very poor lighting from my 2013 Nissan Altima headlamps. It is very difficult to see while driving at night, lighting is terrible and very unsafe. I have mentioned to dealer many times, and they have told me there is no current recall. I'm shocked, as I have read many complaints online, and the nhtsb has not recalled these vehicles for safety concerns. Why is Nissan doing nothing"?"

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at night, the low beam headlamps were inadequate for safe driving. The contact stated that the hi beam headlamp was used for nighttime driving. The vehicle was taken to pine belt Nissan of keyport dealer, (111 NJ-36, keyport, NJ 07735) and was diagnosed that the headlight reflector failed. The contact was informed that the headlamp housing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 53,839.

- Statinilsan, NY, USA

Low beam headlights so dim that they provide almost no light to see the road. I've see similar complaints from many Nissan Altima 2013-15 owners. This is unsafe and Nissan won't acknowledge this. It had been getting worse over the past year. I replaced bulbs but they did no good. Problem is in headlight reflector housing which reflects bulb's light. Lining degrades/burns off and light then gets absorbed, not reflected.

Headlights have been very dim for years and now are way worse. I can't see at all to drive at night, except when I drive with my lights on bright constantly and even those aren't great. I have had no one flash me with my brights on, if that is any indication of how bad they are. I have had many almost accidents because of this. This is an extremely urgent safety issue. I love my car and there is nothing wrong with it, except for this. Nissan needs to do something for its customer's safety. I am looking at trading it in because of this even though I really don't want to and never buying Nissan again. ( I own three Nissan cars presently and this one is just horrible.)

Halogen headlamps extremely dim. Using vehicle low beams, I cannot differentiate between asphalt and raised pavement lines during light or moderate rain. When replaced halogen lights with brighter led headlamps, the headlamps still appear dim and I can safely look directly through the projector at the new headlight (I cannot safely look at said led bulb when not installed in the headlamp assembly. Rpms and reflective signs are not visible until within 20 fee (or not at all in many cases), causing me to miss turns. In the image provided, the brand new 1,600 lumen led headlamps (bottom) are placed in reference to a 750 lumen led flashlight

- Canton, GA, USA

The low beam headlights provide very little illumination which makes the car unusable at night. I did report to my dealer who suggested I purchase a new set on the internet and they would install them. I did that and thosre worked well for less than a year. The 2013 needs to be recalled tol replace the headlights with a newlly designed version.

- Nesconset, NY, USA

Faulty headlamp design inside projector bowl burns out thus resulting in reflective material being burnt inside after this faulty design we could not see the road very dangerous situation we had to purchase online aftermarket headlight unit complete assembly and now we can see the road need to be an recall so we can get replaced at no charge! or payment reimbursements! this is a safety issue what if you hit an animal or a person? or another car because you cannot see the road at night! all because Nissan usa wanted to make a cheap part bad design part!

The low beam lights are dangerously dim. High beams are required for night driving and that is dangerous because it blinds the driver in front of the car.

- Cheltenham, MD, USA

The head lights are extremely dull, resulting in poor vision. High beams are the only way to see any distance. In bad weather this is extremely difficult to see road hazards.

- Woodhaven, NY, USA

With time, the headlights on my car have deteriorated to the point where they may as well not be on at all after dark. It isn't the bulbs themselves, but an issue with the headlamp. It is incredibly dangerous, and I can barely drive my car at night-- let alone drive it safely. I've researched the issue, and it appears that there are many other Nissan Altima made in 2013 and 2014 that have this same issue. The problem persists at all times, except when the bright lights are on. The headlights have been failing for some time now, and getting steadily worse each day.

- Vicksburg, MS, USA

The following has been an on-going situation. I have to use the high beam headlights at night because the low beam headlights do not provide sufficient illumination of the road to drive safely. I know that driving using high beams with on-coming traffic is not a solution, but neither is driving without proper illumination of highway in front of you. I have researched the problem and found many other Nissan Altima owners reporting the same problem with no apparent solution despite replacing the headlight bulbs, changing to hid or led bulbs, etc.

- El Paso, TX, USA

The vehicles low beam lights are dangerously dem and hard to see with them on. They have gotten worse over time and putting in new expensive headlight have not helped. The transmission still sometimes in a higher rmp. I have to tap on the brake to get it unstuck in that RPM.

- Sandy Ridge, NC, USA

I bought my 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 brand new in 2012. Over the past 7 years, my low beam headlights have gotten progressively dimmer, to the point that I cannot tell my lights are even on. I can no longer drive my car at night because I cannot see 5 feet in front of the car. If it rains, I am in bad shape because you can't see anything in front of you. When I took my car to the dealership for 90,000 mile service, the service advisor told me that replacing the headlight bulbs will not change or fix the issue. He stated that I needed whole new headlight assemblies, which would cost me approximately $1,000. I have an extended warranty for the car, but feel as this is a wide spread and known issue with the 2013-2015 Altima, that I should not have to pay out of pocket for the repair for my safety and safety of other drivers around me on the road.

- Brandon, FL, USA

Low beam headlights do not illuminate the road. I cannot see the road while driving in the dark with the low beam head lights on. This has become progressively worse. The dealership says this is a design flaw and the entire headlight unit costs $1400 each plus labor. Or I could buy a new car, they said. I am not aware of this while driving places with lighted streets until driving in unlit areas during the dark times of day. This has be come progressively worse over the years until now, I cannot even see the edges of the road. I would not see something until I would have hit it. This is a safety issue.

- Portage, MI, USA

The low beam headlights on the 2013 Altima are extremely dim. My car has 95,000 miles. I basically am unable to tell if my lights are on at night and can only see a few feet in front of the vehicle. This appears to be a widespread issue. I have attempted to contact Nissan; however, no response was received. This is extremely dangerous and there will be a serious injury or death due to this issue unless Nissan is forced to correct the problem with a recall. Please help!
