Both side mirrors fog every time it rains. even if its light rain . i've been in two near fatal accidents regarding this matter. never seen side mirrors fog like this !! they need to issue a recall and install electric heated side mirrors before people start dying! called nissan and they ignored me a usual. i've been driving every time it happens in busy freeways and cannot see a thing. the mirror is made of some cheap glass like material. these are not real mirrors.
Dashboard melting and produces glare making it difficult to see when driving in sunlight.
The headlights are getting dimmer over time to the point you are unable to see at night to safely operate the vehicle. the reflective material inside the headlight assembly appears to be deteriorating and replacing the bulb does not help.
Our 2008 nissan altima dashboard has melted leaving it sticky and shiny causing distracting and glaring reflections off their windshields. i'll taking it to dealership twice about dashboard but they stated they was unaware of any issue with this vehicle dashboard. the second time i told them about the multiple lawsuits i found on-line and they directed my to nissan consume department. nissan told me the unit was out warranty and will not assist.
Head light low beams are extremely dim. even, i cannot see 2 meters in front of the car at nights. and this problem is not related with the light bulbs. it is related with the headlight projector housing (confirmed from different auto shops and internet complaints) that is losing its effectiveness by the time. also, repairing this problem is very costly. basically, both headlight assemblies have to be changed. we, as altima owners, are waiting for the recall action specifically for this problem from the nissan company. unfortunately, it is very common safety problem among 2013 -2015 altimas.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 nissan altima. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the engine would misfire and the oxygen sensor would remain illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. the oxygen sensor was replaced and the oxygen sensor light shut off. the cause of the catalytic converter failure was not determined. the manufacturer and local dealer was not notified of the failures. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 251,000.
The headlamp projector is faulty, the light bulb works fine, the light projection isn't strong enough to see at night (in nyc). i have to drive with high beams on and those aren't even brighter than some cars normal lights. nissan needs to fix this.
Factory lighting is dim, cannot see at night. the projection is not strong enough for nyc night time. i need to use high beams and those arent even that good. it is not the light bulb
Visibility is not clear due to the "sticky" dash being reflective onto the windshield. when it's sunny outside it's even more difficult to see out of the windshield. wiping the dash with cleaner only makes it worse. wearing sunglasses does not help either.
The visibility is difficult because of the melted -sticky dashboard. the glare blinds you when the sun hits you. there is no reason the dashboard should just "melt"
