Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LANE DEPARTURE: LANE KEEP: AUTOMATIC STEERING filed June 9, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2098932 (ODI reference 11665776) concerns a 2024 NISSAN KICKS and was filed on June 9, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 1, 2025. The vehicle had 10,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as lane departure: lane keep: automatic steering, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: yes, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN KICKS cohort independently describe similar lane departure: lane keep: automatic steering failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
