Recently, I have noticed that my SUV has not had good luminating ability so I naturally assumed it was a faulty or weak bulb. I have since then changed the bulbs to LED and still the same issue exists, I cannot see 3 feet in front of me at night. It is a danger to me, my occupants and others. It seems that the headlamp assembly is delaminating from the inside causing the reflective piece to become ineffective, regardless of how strong of a bulb you have. I researched this issue and seems to be prevalent in Nissans, in fact, Nissan had a recall on their Nissan Altima headlamps for the same reason. That recall ended last year but did not include my vehicle. Please help me since each assembly is approximately $250-$300 each, plus installation.
the low beams are dangerously dim, for a car of just 4 years old with the original OEM Lights, the light bulbs were replaced, and the lights are still low, I have to use the high beams in order to see anything.
OCCASIONALLY, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN GOES BLANK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT ON DRIVE AND STAYS BLANK FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING AND THE RADIO STATION STILL ON AND TALKING AS NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY, MOST RECENTLY JULY 5, 2019 AND HAS OCCURRED IN 2018 SEVERAL TIMES.
DRIVER SIDE FOG LIGHT BRACKET BROKE, FOG LIGHT FLEW BACK INTO TRANSMISSION COOLER, TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE LIGHT NOR THE VEHICLE, THAT THE 4 METAL CLIPS ON THE BRACKET SOME HOW BROKE OFF AND THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN, THEY STATED THEY WERE SENDING THE PART TO NISSAN FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE AS POSSIBLE FAULTY MATERIAL. THE FOG LIGHT COULD HAVE STRUCK AND DESTROYED THE COOLERS THAT SIT BEHIND IT. THEY REPLACED THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING. VEHICLE WAS BEING PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN A CLUNKING SOUND WAS HEARD, WHEN CHECKING IS WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT IN THE HOUSING AND WAS LAYING INSIDE THE BUMPER ONLY BEING HELD IN BY THE WIRING
