Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Factory headlights have a ballast that controls low beams and day time running lights that is retaining water and causing headlights to either stay on or not work at all. I have had a Nissan dealer look at it and they don't want to do anything about it as we use the truck at night and day and only have high beams. It all started after we bought the truck and washed it the headlights would flicker on and off and the driver side low beam stayed on for 17 hours. …”
NHTSA complaint #11326098, filed 2020-05, 42,500 miles“The contact owns a 2016 Nissan titan. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the front passenger side headlight failed to illuminate. The failure recurred each time it rained. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlight assembly retained water, which caused the headlight to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 500.”
