CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013 Altima, prompting us to give it our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The headlights are so dim, it is a hazard to drive at night. We replaced the bulbs and restored the lenses but nothing helps. If you search the internet, there are numerous complaints about this problem. You can't see 50' in front of you. These headlights should be recalled and Nissan should be fixing this problem don't wait for someone to get killed in a car accident before something is done please!!
My low beam lights are very dim. I can barely see at night. I have replace the light bulbs and that did not help. I have to constantly drive with high beam on but with incoming traffic I have to go back to low beam and it's like the incoming traffic is blinding me. I can barely drive the car a night due to this issue. It's been an ongoing problem with the lights. They are getting worsened by the day.
Driving at night is very dangerous for me to drive with my kids home I'm a single parent the headlights mainly low beams are very very low you can even till they are on the police pulled me over and made a joke saying I would be better off using two flashlights can you please tell me the problem or help I almost was in a accident with my children in the car is the low beams the highbeams I've had to resort to put a fog lights on my car thank you please respond
The chrome and I had light lamp is burning it is a known issue and there has not been a recall through Nissan there's nothing wrong with that I'd like there's nothing wrong with the bulbs and there is zero visibility at night.
The headlights on low beam put out almost zero light, it is a serious safety issue. There are many threads on the internet and this is is a known issue.
Low beam lights do not work to where you can't see 50 feet in front of you. Replaced the light bulbs and still not any better. Huge safety concern when driving at night
The dim headlights suddenly became dangerous when driving at night because you can't see 50ft in front of you with the lights on dim. The drivers side sun visor squeaked when the car was new and when the car was out of warranty the internal clip on the visor broke.
Headlights are useless on low beam. It's like driving with flashlights taped to the car. Driving at night is very dangerous. A search on internet reveals pages of Nissan Altima owners with the same complaint. Why is Nissan not doing anything about this very dangerous defect?
There is a known issue with the 2013-2015 headlights becoming so dim the vehicle isn't safe to drive in low light conditions. Through a lot of research and money of replacing bulbs and time pulling the headlights apart it's apparent the reflective material in the low beam headlights is burnt off or oxidized preventing the headlight from functioning properly allowing the driver to operate the vehicle safely in any driv ing conditions at all. Nissan has not recalled these faulty headlights and refuses to correct this unsafe issue.
My headlights are extremely dim when driving at night. I replaced the halogen bulbs, and it did not fix the problem. I also tried to switch to led bulbs, but that did not fix it either. On highways, it's hard to see street signs and on multi-lane freeways, the lane markers are harder to see because I'm going at a faster speed. On top of that, I cannot see further ahead on any road and oncoming car's headlights that are brighter than mine make the problem even worse. I need this problem fixed.
