THE ILLUMINATION DECREASED,IT CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION FOR THE OWNER,DRIVER,PSNGRS,OTHER DRVRS,OTHER PSSNGRS & PEDESTRIANS WITH A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY,DEATH &/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. I HAVE HIT POTHOLES,CROSSED LANES INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC & HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE HIGH BMS WHEN POTENTIALLY UNSAFE FOR OTHER DRVRS. I BELIEVE THE DETERIORATION IS DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT WHERE THE INSIDE OF THE PROJECTOR LENS MELTS OR OTHERWISE FAILS & THE LENS BECOMES PROGRESSIVELY OPAQUE.  WE REQUEST THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DFCTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION & PURSUE A RECALL FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2013,2014 & 2015 BASED ON THE NUMBER OF NHTSA COMPLAINTS FOR THIS DFCT. PER THE IIHS,THE ALTIMA HDLGHT SYSTEM WAS REDESIGNED FOR THE MDL YRS 2013 & 2016.  THE NUMBER OF FILED CMPLNTS IS ONLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LARGER BASE OF DFCTS THAT EXISTS. FOR THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM,NOTE THAT AN OLDER 2012 MDL ONLY HAS 1 CMPLNT & THE 2011 MDL HAS 0 CMPLNTS. ALSO NOTE THAT MDL 2016 HAS ONLY 1 CMPLNT & 2017 MDL HAS 0 CMPLNTS. THIS CONCENTRATION OF CMPLNTS AROUND THE MDL YRS OF 2013,2014 & 2015 SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR & TEAR ITEM THAT THE OWNR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT AN INHERENT DESIGN DFCT THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE DFCT EXISTS AT DATE OF PURCHASE BUT MAY NOT BE NOTICEABLE TO THE OWNR UNTIL SOMETIME LATER & POTENTIALLY AFTER THE STD WARRANTY EXPIRES.  CMPLNTS FOR DETERIORATING LOW BM HDLGHTS  2013: 68,2014: 48,2015: 26  TO COMPARE,THERE IS A CURRENT ODI INVESTIGATION INTO A FAILED REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM THAT WAS BEGUN WITH ONLY 4 CMPLNTS.  THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED 12/13/18 & NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS NOTIFIED 12/18/18.  TO DATE,THE MNFR HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS. THE AUTO IS AT THE DEALER'S SERV DEPT & I WILL NOT DRIVE THE AUTO B/C IT IS UNSAFE TO DO SO","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"NISSAN","productModel":"ALTIMA","manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc."}]}]}
