EGR valve and oil leaking The malfunction light came on and the car reduced power and almost killed me on the highway in Dallas Tx! Yes has been confirmed by trophy Nissan in Mesquite! I have also had to replace motor mount transmission mount torque strut mount the turbo hose! I have seen like 50 people have the same problem and saying they paid over $2000 to fix and car still breaks down! I will be contacting a lawyer! Every 2023 rogue with all these same problems need to be taken out of service and we need to be compensated! It should be illegal for a business to sell “new” cars that are unsafe with this many problems! It isn’t right for my first time going to a car dealership to buy a reliable car because I drive out of town for work and get a piece of crap car!! I could have bought a cash car and these same problems!!! Ughhhhh
While I was leaving a restaurant my back windshield spontaneously shattered in the middle of me driving it, I had the front and back heat on at the time it’s shattered, I am a first-time driver at the age of [XXX] , and I was extremely terrifying for my safety and other drivers safety while I drove my vehicle after the glass shattered out of nowhere due to no fault of my own, was worried about glass being thrown around in the vehicle, but got the vehicle home safely, I am now responsible for paying out-of-pocket for Safelite to replace this back windshield, there were no warning signs it just shattered on its own! Then I found that there was a class action suit against Nissan rogue 2021-2025 saying that the back windshields are defective. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was driving my vehicle after dropping my son off at school and my back windshield exploded without warning. I was unsure what to do and there was nowhere to pull over. I drove home and called my local Nissan dealer who I was leasing the vehicle from and they said the repair would not be covered. I used a local windshield replacement company and paid out of pocket to have the windshield replaced.
On, January 16, 2026, the rear windshield spontaneously exploded as we were entering our vehicle
While driving on the highway the sunroof exploded
Upon entering the vehicle and shutting the driver side door to drive home the back windshield imploded without any warning. The hatch was not used that day and with the shutting of the drivers side door the rear windshield made a popping noise and caved in completely on itself all over the back of my vehicle before the vehicle was even turned on. There were no previous cracks, no signs of wear and the vehicle was only a year old bought brand new. We are currently over the miles on the warranty (barely) and Nissan Corporate advised to take it to a local dealership and the local dealership told me I had to call corporate. No one could explain why this would or could happen to the vehicle. The weather was not frigid nor hot at the time of this event. Nissan is not taking responsibility for a faulty product even after I addressed the current class action lawsuit other Nissan Rogue owners have put up against them for the same issue. Luckily my toddler son was not in the vehicle at the time that this happened in his carseat or he would have ended up with the potential of shatter glass landing on him. Additionally if I was driving at the time that is a huge risk of distraction, crashing, and the mess of debris. There is was no warning, no previous damage, and nothing that anyone has offered to do to help. The quote to get the rear windshield replaced will have to be paid completely out of pocket. I suspect that due to mass producing these vehicles they did not take the time to make sure proper safety measure have taken place. Time stamped photos and a case with Nissan Corporate have been put into place.
After sitting overnight in the garage, the back windshield glass shattered when simply closing the front driver door.
Rear window EXPLODED sending glass 10' out and then 4 to 5 feet inside the vehicle. Defroster had been turned off about 15 minutes prior. Was starting to backout of parking spot when an explosion of glass flew in/out of vehicle then hissing sounds, ending with sound of glass falling.
Rear hatch window on my wife's 2023 Nissan Rogue shattered while parked inside of or residential garage. Damage happened between the hours of 12am and 7am this date. Vehicle was stationary and not in motion. Temperature of garage was 46 degrees as shown on our garage door opener panel. As per an internet search, this is an ongoing problem with the 2012 to 2025 Nissan Rogue. I attempted to contact Nissan North America on this date but their offices are closed until Monday January 26, 2026. Dealership stated this date that they do not repair windows and DID NOT STATE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE ROGUE VEHICLE. Vehicle is not driven that much and as of this complaint on has 6,768 miles on the odometer.
My rear window shattered spontaneously
While driving on the interstate there was a loud explosion, like gunfire, and the sunroof exploded.We had just gotten on the interstate and was going between 55-60 mph.
The rear window exploded out of no where on my 2023 Nissan Rogue. It was parked, I was outside when this happened. No vehicles or other people around, window just exploded. Glass and weatherstripping were blown across the parking lot. Nissan consumer affairs state they will do an investigation and they may or may not help. Once this happened I see many other Nissan owners experience this same thing! Extended warranty will not cover this... As I sit here 3 days before Christmas, travel plans ruined, and the uncertainty of a thousand dollar fix hanging over my head. This is definitely a manufacturing defect, and this should be covered at no cost! A recall also needs to be issued! I'm just grateful I was not driving down the road when this happened, as I see other Nissan owners had this happen to them.
I am submitting a complaint regarding my 2 year-old vehicle due to a recurring/mechanical issue that is impacting its safety and reliability. While I understand the vehicle’s age, this problem appears to be beyond normal wear and tear and warrants review. In addition the condition has resulted in ongoing problems that I believe require further evaluation and resolution.
My 2023 Nissan Rogue rear Window just exploded out. It was not a hot day. I parked in my driveway, came out next day to seer glass all over and my rear window shattered. From what I’m learning this is a common issue
I was parking at my workplace and when I was getting out of my vehicle and back windshield glass just completely shattered and I have done some research to find out that I’m not the only one that deal with the issue a lot others people have had that happen to them.
Back windshield exploding on its own with use of defroster!
Takes a while for seatbelt light to go off ,sluggish driving when driving has a sound to it like its not pulling,also when using automatic starter to start car up for a while before entering it it cut off within 2 minutes and if I start it when I am a few steps from the car with the automatic starter once I get in the car it tells me to apply brake then push start when I do that the car won't start like that I have to completely cut the vehicle off and push start button,when using heat it sometimes has a burning smell. I had the car for a while but haven't driven it much because I had a second car so I noticed when I started driving the car and using the switches.
This morning when I got into my car and closed the door, the back window exploded. Nothing hit it, there were no cracks, etc. It simply sounded like a gunshot and fell inward into the back of my Rogue. I have seen numerous similar stories online with Rogue back windows shattering for no explainable reason.
Vehicle: 2023 Nissan Rogue, VIN [Your VIN], KR15 Engine Issue / Complaint: I brought my vehicle to [dealership name and location] for the KR15 engine bearing recall (Campaign 25V437) to have the oil pan and engine inspected for metal debris. The dealer refused to perform the required inspection, claiming “no remedy available yet,” and initially tried to charge me for a diagnostic test. The dealership’s refusal violates federal recall requirements, as recall inspections must be performed free of charge. I am concerned that my vehicle may be at risk of engine damage if this inspection is not done. Request: Please ensure the dealership performs the recall inspection properly and at no cost. I have documentation of the visit.
I got recall notice from Nissan I went to Nissan Cresent Dealership 6600 State Hwy 121, Frisco, TX 75034 on 15th Aug 2025. Nissan person told me within 1 month I will get a call from Nissan Dealer and I can bring the my Veichle . Several times I called them but I got same response . Today (11/20/2025) again I called but I got same response so need your help
I was gently and normally closing my trunk as usual today and the entire glass window of the trunk completely shattered. It sounded like a loud pop or a gunshot. Glass flew all over the car and my daughter was in the back seat. I cut my hand on the glass. My car is now making noises and beeping constantly. My backup camera is not working properly. This is a significant safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately.
I purchased this car in September and the recall on it was not disclosed to me, I asked the person at the dealership, he said no recalls were on this car. I am afraid to drive this car because it is a major issue with the engine failing while driving.
Was at work parked in my 2023 Nissan Rogue at 5:30am today,when rear back windshield exploded. Sounded like a gun shot, defroster was off, temperature was about 29 degrees.
My back window shattered when it wasn’t even touched by anything
I parked my car at 740 am 9/10 and went to work. I am a nurse and I work for an outpatient clinic. I parked in a deck that is also monitored by security. When I got out of work at420 pm my rear window was completely shattered. The entire circumference of the window. I noticed it because I got in the car and close the door and heard something fall and nothing is in my car so I turn around and look and the window was shattered. What I heard falling was little pieces of glass falling inside my car into my trunk. I saw that other Nissan Rogue owners had the same encounter where there back window just exploded. I had to report this because I am now 2 weeks without my car waiting for Nissan to tell my dealership to fix my car because I am still under warranty.
