Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My low beam headlamp system has now failed at two separate times, both during nighttime driving. The first was on november 2, 2009, at 37,600 miles, the left hid ballast failed; nissan repaired the failure under warranty although its time-portion had expired. The second failure was at 47,600 miles on december 1, 2011.
