Description of the problem | I recently switched from an audi a6, which uses hid bulbs to a 2015 nissan altima 2. 5 l. This model uses halogen bulbs, as i have discovered. I was driving at night during the first week of owning the nissan and had poor visibility of the road. I was driving slowly toward a stoplight and could not see the small strip of median to my left as i was coming to the stoplight. I hit it, and the sidewall in the passenger-side tire blew out. I later looked up the vehicle safety report on this model and i see that it received a "poor" under the "headlights" section of the iihs website. See: http://www. Iihs. Org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/nissan/altima-4-door-sedan/2015 i feel very unsafe in this car. I have not had any such collision with a median or otherwise in over ten years. I just can't see at night with this new car. |
