Description of the problem | The first time i noticed this problem was on a girls trip to rockport, tx on sept 1, 2018. One of the ladies asked if my headlights were on. I said yes. She asked me to pull over so she can confirm. She confirmed the lights were on. On september 23, 2018 i was coming back home on a dark highway with my sister when we found could not see three feet in front of the vehicle. It appeared as though i had no headlights on. I pulled over to check and the headlights were on. I got back in the car and drove to the first open auto parts place i could find on a sunday night around 8pm. The man suggested bulb replacement. I replaced the bulbs. However, on october 20, 2018 i was again driving and on a dark road with a lot of people walking on the side and i nearly hit a person because i didn't see them because of the poor lighting come from the headlight. I went back to the auto parts store and the man suggest a more expensive bulbs and as of today october 25, 2018 i still have the same problem. I am in fear of my life and the people in my vehicle. I am about to drive to arkansas in two weeks. This is a safety hazard to drive this way. All cars driving next to me have much more significant lighting for the road. Nissan needs to recall and replace these defective, dangerous, headlights that are failing so no one become a casualty. |
