New Nissan Class Action Covering 2013-2018 Altima headlights

A new class action lawsuit was filed against Nissan that alleges the low-beam headlights can become so dim that car owners can’t drive at night.

Per the class action complaint, 2013-2018 Altimas are equipped with halogen headlights that use defective reflective assemblies.

The headlight lawsuit alleges the reflective surface becomes dull, causing the lights to dim to the point drivers may be pulled over by police.

The Altima headlight lawsuit also alleges Nissan refuses to offer free replacement parts, sticking owners with expenses up to $1,200 for both headlight assemblies.

The Altima headlights are allegedly not strong enough to withstand heat and seal out humidity which causes the reflective surface of the projector cup to burn or “outgas,” meaning the reflective coating vaporizes. The coating cannot reflect the headlights which makes them too dim to safely drive.

The headlight lawsuit also alleges the headlights can become dim because the burned and vaporized reflector material can cover the lens of the headlights.

The Nissan Altima headlight lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee: Suarez, et al., vs. Nissan North America, Inc.
