2025 NISSAN KICKS — Complaint #2108870
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS filed July 11, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2108870 (ODI reference 11672665) concerns a 2025 NISSAN KICKS and was filed on July 11, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 8, 2025. The vehicle had 200 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as wheels:lugs/nuts/bolts/studs, 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: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. 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 wheels:lugs/nuts/bolts/studs failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2025 NISSAN KICKS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated while driving 49 MPH, the rear end of the vehicle was shuddering. The contact stated that the failure progressively worsened while driving, causing the contact to decelerate to 40 MPH. The contact exited the highway and drove to a store. The contact stated that while inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the rear wheels lug nuts were significantly loose and the front wheels lug nuts were moderately loose. The contact was able to tighten the lug nuts with assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where no service was performed. The dealer advised the contact to continue driving the vehicle because the contact was able to drive 40 miles to their location. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
