IN NIGHT TIME THE WIDTH OF BEAM IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH(HIGH OR LOW BEAM). WHEN MAKING TURN, I CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING IN PERPENDICULAR DIRECTION. I AM ALWAYS AFRAID THAT, I MIGHT DRIVE OVER SOMEONE. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED YET. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CAN CAUSE HARM TO SOMEONE OR LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AS I MIGHT HIT A PARKED CAR AT THE CORNER.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Nissan Leaf Plus verdict →
