Low beam lights are too low. It makes it difficult to see at night. I recently had the lights replaced as they had blew out. The replacement lights are extremely light. When driving on the highway I often times have to turn the lights off and turn back on as it appears to not be on. This is very dangerous to drive like this. 2014 vehicle should not have low beam issues as the car does.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. While driving at unknown speeds, the headlights failed to produce adequate lighting. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

The headlights are progressively getting more dim over time. Lights are dim all the time, not related to idle or other functions. Mileage is 72. 000 miles. Night driving is hazardous. The headlights are lighting only a few feet in front of the car, not illuminating traffic signs, difficulty when making turns at a corner or driveway. I have to use my high beams at night, the high beams work fine but are a hazard for oncoming traffic. This is now a safety hazard that needs immediate attention.

Night time driving is almost impossible, low beams do not illuminate the road. It's like driving with parking lights on, extremely dangerous!

Discovered the inadequately poor low-beam illumination level in 2017 when I had to replace the drivers-side headlamp. Noticed the beam did not light up on my shirt when standing in front of the car. The passenger side lamp did. Not greatly, but there was a beam on my shirt. Replaced the low-beam lamp again and did both sides and the problem with poor illumination continued on the drivers side. At this point my 2014 model was out of warranty and I had started using my high-beam lights at night and lived with it. Then discovered my car was not the only one and decided to submit this NHTSA complaint.

Dim front light

The lighting on my car is extremely dim. I usually have to ride with my bright lights on just to see the road. We tried changing the bulbs and it did not help. This is a major safety hazard because at night you absolutely can not see. It happens on every road every day.

At 53,000 miles the transmission would no longer function.transmission had to be replaced.at about 130,000 miles I notice that when headlights were on low beam you could barely see the road at night time.so I did some research on thi vehicle what I found out was on Nissan Altima manufactured between 2013 -2015 have the same problem.you do not have sufficient lighting on low beam.you have to use high beam on dark roads.this is a major safety issue with these vehicles.I have had the Nissan dealership in my local area new port richey put in the exact bulbs car came with from factory same issue poor lighting on low beam.I then had Nissan dealership put in bulbs that I purchased on line these bulbs put out 8000 lumens and these bulbs are led bulbs.the factory Nissan bulbs put out 1200 lumens and are halogen bulbs.both sets of bulbs I got same result insuffiecient lighting on low beam.the Nissan technician told me I would have to replace both headlight assemblies at a cost of $700.I feel these headlight lens were a manufacturing defect without question therefore I feel Nissan should be held liable for replacing the defective parts.I have receipts from dealership for work performed.I have also filed a complaint with the BBB autoline dept, and filed a compaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs.this is a very hazardous situation and god forbid someone will lose their life over something like this.

Headlights gradually went dim over time to point of being unusable. Need to use high beams. Replacing bulbs does not help. Safety issue for driver of this vehicle as well as others that get hit with high beams.

Both low beam headlights are extremely dim and do not produce enough light to drive safely at night. Replacing the bulbs made no difference. High beams are ok.

- Carol Stream, IL, USA

Headlight bulbs work but both headlamp assemblies seem to be defective in not lighting up the road. I have read there is a issue with the backing in the headlamp assemblies failing due to heat from the bulbs and not producing proper lighting.

There is a major safety issue with the dim headlights of this 2014 Nissan Altima; it seems to get worst as the car ages to the point of I can no longer see at night. Other drivers stop me to ask if I have on my headlights. As a result, I have to continuously drive with high beams on, which could be unsafe and impact oncoming driver's vision.

Complaint involving low beam headlights very dangerous.

The low beam headlights over a period of time have become dimmer and dimmer. We replaced the bulbs thinking they were burned out. It did not help. At night I have to ride with my high beams because I cannot see 1 foot in front of my car on low beams. It's like driving with them off. I purchased this vehicle July 12, 2017. It is a safety hazard to drive at night.

In my 2014 Nissan Altima the lights have dimmed so bad you can barely see 2 feet in front of you at night. It makes it very hazardous in night and rainy conditions

- Abbeville, LA, USA

Low beam lights do not work. Had bulbs changed and it is no better at all. When you turn on low beam you cannot see 1 ft in front of you and have to basically stop in the middle of the road till the oncoming car has passed. Very, very dangerous !!

Over the past several months the low beam headlights have been steadily deteriorating to the point they have become a safety hazard. The initial thought that the bulbs required replacement; however, this has not remedied the issue. The headlight lenses are not yellowed or fogged over, and the headlight bulbs are brand new high-quality headlight lamps. There is no other known issue with the headlights. The high beam work without issue and it is becoming more frequent to where the high-beams are needed to supplement nighttime lighting in areas where liow beams should be more than sufficient. The low beam lighting is at the point to where it is becoming a hazard to me as the driver; but also, is becoming a hazard to oncoming drivers, as the use of high-beam lighting is being used more frequently. The brighness of the low beam light does not change if the vehicle is parked, standing, or in motion, and the dim lighting is most hazardous when driving around corners or on dark roads without street lighting. The car has not been seen by Nissan or a mechanic because it is out of the warranty period and estimates to inspect the lighting issue begins at $80. A simple internet search indicates that this is a frequent issue, and I would appreciate any feedback or information the NHTSA might be able to provide on this and related issues.
