The low beam lights are so low that I have had 2 near accidents. It is unsafe in areas where there is no lighting. I wanted this to be on record in case something happens. My research indicates that this is a well known problem that the NHTSA is ignoring. My husband and my son drive the vehicles at night and I am very afraid for them. The cost to replace the part is over $1000 which is unfair since the problem is with the product. Why wait until some has a fatal crash or worse before something is done?

The headlights on the 2014 Altima are dangerously dim. At night they provide effectively no lighting. To see while driving at night, I must use my brights which then makes me a safety hazard to the visibility of other drivers on the road. I have replaced the light bulbs and also upgraded to led bulbs with little to no improvement. This issue is relevant on city streets, highways, or country roads, from dusk until dawn. While driving in the early morning hours it is extremely hard to see pedestrians and extra caution is required as a driver to ensure the safety of people around me as well as myself.

We purchased this used and upon driving it at night, we discovered the headlights are very dim. It's nearly impossible to see without the high beams on. Replacing the bulbs did not help at all. We have since done some research and see that it is a very common problem with 2013, 2014, and 2015 Nissan Altima. The research says that the reflective covering in the headlight assembly becomes blackened and then, even with working bulbs, does not properly project the light forward. The only way to fix it is to replace the whole headlight assembly at a dealership which is very costly. We are afraid to drive this car at night at all, and should not be responsible for the huge repair cost. If the articles are correct, Nissan is aware of the issue, but refusing to issue a recall. Please help. See attached article: www.nissanproblems.com/Altima-projector-headlights/

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that both low beam headlights provided very dim illumination. The contact could only see approximately a foot away from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to Nissan of gadsden (1701 rainbow dr, gadsden, al 35901) where it was determined that both headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. The VIN was unknown. Consumer stated low dim headlamps replaced for $940.10 at the dealership. I believe this a manufacturing failure.

Low beam headlights over time are extremely dim. Illumination is not adequate to drive at night. This is reportedly a manufacturing defect in the projector not the bulb dimming or burning out. Vehicle is dangerous to drive at night. The internet is filled with similar complaints so my vehicle is not an isolated incident.

The low-beam head lights are extremely dim. I had the bulbs replaced and cleaned the fog from the clear cover, but the lights are still dangerously dim. This apparently is because the reflective material in the light assembly has deteriorated.

Low beam headlights are way too dim when driving at night.

My 2014 Nissan Altima has very dim headlights making it extremely difficult to see while driving at night or in bad weather. Driving with the brights on looks more like what the low beam lights should look like. I alter when I drive because of this issue.

I have changed the light bulbs 3 times. They are so dim I avoided accidents. I drive with high beam and it is not fair for the other drivers. Universal Nissan in orlando in zip code told me it is normal.my personal mechanic told me it is not the bulb but the mirroe surrounding the bulb that is faded.a few people I know have similar problem.

My headlights on my '14 Nissan Altima are very dim, to the point that I avoid driving at night or in the rain because I cannot see more than 5-10 feet in front of me. I live off of a dark road with limited lighting, and is always fearful of hitting something/ someone or running off the road so I'm frequently driving with my bright lights on just to make it home safely. This progressing dimming worries me because I drive often for work in occasional high construction and newly developed areas where equipment may be left out in poorly lit areas, like cones or machinery, that are difficult for me to spot from a safe distance. If reflectors are not present in the road or highway, I have difficulties staying within my lane because of the dimming headlights, resulting in placing other drivers and myself in danger. I have taken my car to a Nissan dealership, which I was explained that it has nothing to do with the light bulb itself, but a defective or worn projector lens which will cost approximately $1000 to replace.

Low beam headlights are extremely dim. My understanding is that this is an issue with the light housing and not the bulb. The reflective material in the light housing is breaking down and not reflecting the light any longer. Hard to see without using high beams.

Low beam headlights on my 2014 Altima have become really dim to see at night. The mechanic changed the light bulbs but this did fix the problem. He said the projector (lens) material inside the headlight assembly is corroded and that the whole headlight assembly needs to be replaced. This is a very serious safety problem since it affects visibility at night, and Nissan should provide a remedy for this manufacturing defect.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the headlights went out and then turned on again, but were very dim. The failure was a hazard because the contact could not see the road while driving. The vehice was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the headlight bulbs, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000. The VIN was unknown.

- Houston, TX, USA

The low beam headlights are dangerously dim and new bulbs will not fix the problem. I reached out to my local Nissan dealer, they informed me to contact Nissan. Contacted Nissan and they had no solution for the problem. I can not drive the car at night. This problem started within the last 12 months. Asked about having car repaired and Nissan repair quoted over $1000 and no guarantee that it would not happen again.

The low beam headlights are too dim. Its a safety issue at night.

- Dallas, TX, USA

Headlamp assembly of the vehicle is extremely dim. High beam works exceptionally but low beam seems to be burned out. Light bulbs have been replaced several times but there is no change is visibility. Vehicle has been taken to autonation Nissan where they concluded nothing was wrong with the headlamps. Headlamps have even been adjusted in the direction that project, but still no change in visibility. Headlamp visibility became drastically decreased while vehicle was in motion on the highway

I noticed last year that my low beam headlights were really dim, literally the fog lights illuminate farther than the low beam lights. I bought new bulbs that were led and my high beam lights are really bright, however the low beam lights are still just as they were before. I did some research online and found that many Nissan Altima 2013-2015 owners were experiencing the same issue. This is a very serious issue when driving at night, if you can't see without your bright lights on!!! why has there not been a recall done on the headlights yet"??" surely something can be done about this before there is a tragic wreck because a driver can't see two feet in front of the car while going down the road.

The low beam lights on my 2014 Nissan Altima are so low that you cannot see at night. I have change the bulbs 2 times and I'm still getting the same results. I took it to my local shop and they suggested me changing out both head lights. Why haven't this issue been recall by Nissan?

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima that has 72,000 miles on it. The low beam headlights are so dim I can barely see a foot in front of me. This is a real safety concern. I have replaced the bulbs with led and it did not fix the problem. Traveling on any road I have to put my bright lights on just to see. It's not safe to drive it at night and I shouldn't have to put my safety or the safety of others in jeopardy just because Nissan has a flawed system they refuse to acknowledge. It's surely someone's responsibility to make Nissan put out a recall on these headlights so we as the car owners don't have to pay $1,000 for something that is Nissan's fault. As of December 2018, this particular problem ranks 10th in the carcomplaints.com recent problem trend list. This is a manufacturing issue. Nissan needs to address the issues before someone gets hurt. I am begging you to please make Nissan accountable for this problem. There are literally hundreds of consumers complains all over the internet and there are over 96 complaints alone on your website that pertain to this specific issue for 2014 Nissan Altima's from. Please make something happen before someone gets killed!!!!!!!
