NHTSA Complaint #10862435 — 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA

I RECENTLY SWITCHED FROM AN AUDI A6, WHICH USES HID BULBS TO A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 L. THIS MODEL USES HALOGEN BULBS, AS I HAVE DISCOVERED. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE NISSAN AND HAD POOR VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY TOWARD A STOPLIGHT AND COULD NOT SEE THE SMALL STRIP OF MEDIAN TO MY LEFT AS I WAS COMING TO THE STOPLIGHT. I HIT IT, AND THE SIDEWALL IN THE PASSENGER-SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. I LATER LOOKED UP THE VEHICLE SAFETY REPORT ON THIS MODEL AND I SEE THAT IT RECEIVED A "POOR" UNDER THE "HEADLIGHTS" SECTION OF THE IIHS WEBSITE. SEE: HTTP://WWW.IIHS.ORG/IIHS/RATINGS/VEHICLE/V/NISSAN/ALTIMA-4-DOOR-SEDAN/2015 I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCH COLLISION WITH A MEDIAN OR OTHERWISE IN OVER TEN YEARS. I JUST CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WITH THIS NEW CAR.
