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…

I understand and am experiencing a serious issue with dim headlights that seems to be a common problem with many altimas. The head lights are so dim now that it is extremely difficult to see the road under normal night driving conditions, and it is magnified during inclement weather. I am also very concerned that i'm not going to see someone crossing the road which i encountered, and luckily the person had reached…

Takata recall: the driver side sun visor in my 2014 altima has somehow broken from the inside-out. I would estimate that it began malfunctioning over the last year. It will not stay clipped into place and it seems the clip or some piece inside of the visor affects the ability for the visor to function properly. The visor being broken is a safety concern because it prohibits my view as the driver and the visor swings…

You would have to turn on the high beam head light in order to see a safe distance ahead .the defective headlight may be inadequate to meet state and federal safety regulations. I have contacted nissan corporate office on numerous occasions. They inform me to take the…

The halogen projector headlights are dangerously dim as time goes on and new bulbs do not fix the problem. Other altima owners report this same issue and i suspect that the bowl with reflective coating on the projectors is bad. The headlights are very dim and can only illuminate less than 100 feet. The high beams do not have this issue as they are only halogen bulbs and not projectors. One must drive with the high…

While driving approx 65 mph, was startled by large booming crash from roof of my car. Upon pulling over and examining it was apparent that the sunroof had exploded. There was no evidence of a rock or other object hitting the sunroof, and no other automobile had been in close enough proximity to flip up a rock or other object. Dealer acknowledged they have had a handful of other people come in with unexplained…

While driving home last night approx 35 mph my hood flew open and unlatched and impaired my windshield significantly and visibility driving was extremely impacted. As it was late in the evening there was no traffic directly in front or behind me. I was startled to say the least. I was able to safely negotiate to shoulder of road and engage hazard lights and resecure the hood. I was on a city street and moving…

Windshield has scratches that make it difficult to see out of, especially at night. Took car to dealer to claim under 3-year "bumper-to-bumper" warranty & extended service contract that dealer claimed at time of purchase would cover all problems. Dealer claimed this issue is not covered under either warranty. Warranties are totally bogus.

Poor visibility: when sunlight or artificial lights strikes the windshield at about 40 to 60 degrees, it prevents good visibility, specially when entering my garage. The problem becomes worse and under rainy-foggy conditions. Making very difficult to see the road and the signs, spite of using the wind shield wipers and the defogger to the max. I went to the local nissan dealership to report this problem; i was told…

I ran low on windshield washer fluid and a light can on notifying me. The next day i noticed that the lane detection system and the car in your blind spot indicator was no working. Causing a safety concern. Come to find out. When you run low on wiper fluid, it deactivates these safety features. I think this is crazy and dangerous. Put in wiper fluid and it corrected the problem. Wow!!!

While driving in new york, i suddenly heard a pop, and realized that the windshield cracked at the bottom of the passenger's side. The crack is about 10 inches long, and starts at the very edge of the windshield, going towards the center of the passenger's side of it. There was no impact, no gravel, no rocks hit the windshield. There are no chips, and no place of impact, the crack appeared out of nowhere. Called the…
