We have classified the 142 complaints from 2014 Nissan Altima about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
Headlights are very dim. unable to see at night while driving with low-beams on. i paid $250 to replace the headlamps with no luck. after doing some research, it appears this is a well known issue. this seems like a safety issue so i am wondering why there is no recall?
When the lights are turned on to drive at night, the driver's side headlight is not as bright as the passenger side even after getting a new headlight. the light is bright when up close but is barely visible far away. basically, you are driving with one headlight at night making it very hard to see.
Headlights are dangerously dim. reflector no longer projects light. many complaints on message boards.
Low beams you can't hardly see anything at all at night. very dangerous
The headlights are very bad at night i have changed out with new ones 5 times. also the steering have to keep being corrected when driving car wants to go into other lanes i had 2 wheel alignments in still no help
Both low beam, headlamps in my 2014 altima are extremely dim. i first noticed it about two years ago and has become significantly worse over time. i have replaced the bulbs with oem and high end (brighter) bulbs to no avail. the external assembly plastic is not that faded and even tried buffing it. that did not work either. it's dangerous to drive at night. it is extremely difficult to see at night unless the high beams are on.
I was driving on the highway and noticed that i had low visibility and could not see as far as 1 foof ahead and had to use my high beams all the way home. i assumed that it was my bulbs or battery and changed them both out. when i changed them, i noticed no change and almost hit a parked car and feel that it is very dangerous not only for me but others that have the same make and model and year of car and feel that something needs to be done because it is a safety risk.
Main headlights are extremely dim. they have gotten progressively worse over the past two years and now help almost not at all. if i did not have fog lights i would have to drive with the high beams on in order to see at night.
Factory light beams where dangerously low. visibility was close to none, often had to drive with high beams on. i thought that it was the lightbulb which was replaced and this did not fix the issue. i had to replace the entire light compartment in order to fix the issue. looked up online that many other drivers experienced the same issue due to a thin layer in the reflector compartment that once it fades, it causes the light to not reflect properly onto the road. this manufacturer error should be looked at, as this is a major safety hazard for drivers.
The passenger side headlight is too dim. there is no light coming put of the headlight assembly. i thought it was weak bulb and had it replaced but the problem didnot go away. went to nissan dealer who told this is a known problem in altima and no recall hs been ordered. they were not sure of solution but told whole console chnage may solve the issue. right now i need to put high beams on as only driver side headlight gives right amount of light. the passenger light is on but nothing can be seen. the headlight panel is clean and clear but no light comes out.
My low beams headlight are so dim that i cannot drive safety without use of high beams light. other driver are not safe either when i have to use my high beams, just in order for me to see at night when driving. i replaced the bulbs more than one time and there is still no improvement.
I have 2 of these model altima's. both suffer from the same problem the low beam headlights are very dim and it's hard to see at night. very unsafe
Low beam head lights very dim hard to see at night very dangerous in fog hard to see deer animals people try to run with high beams on but then putting other drivers at risk
Low beam headlights are very dim when driving at night. i can't see anything that is more than 100 feet in front of the vehicle. this can cause an incident especially on the highway going faster speeds and non illuminated areas where you need to see further ahead. the high beam lights are perfectly fine, but when using my low beam headlights, it's almost like they are not even turned on.
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.
