Consumer Description

I UNDERSTAND AND AM EXPERIENCING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH DIM HEADLIGHTS THAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY ALTIMAS. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO DIM NOW THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD UNDER NORMAL NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND IT IS MAGNIFIED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED THAT I'M NOT GOING TO SEE SOMEONE CROSSING THE ROAD WHICH I ENCOUNTERED, AND LUCKILY THE PERSON HAD REACHED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ENTER THE CROSSWALK! THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE TO ALL DRIVERS OF ALTIMAS, THEIR PASSENGERS AND PEDESTRIANS. AS I HADN'T EXPECTED THIS PROBLEM I REALLY WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO IT UNTIL I READ AN ARTICLE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE OF WHICH I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY IT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDRESSED. THANKS FOR ACCEPTING MY COMPLIANT.
