general problems of the 2023 Nissan Rogue - part 1

The oil pan plug is attached to plastic, it straps everything out. Leaving the car not drivable. Yes oil tech has mentioned it occurs to vehicles with plastic oil pans. (Nissan Rogue 2020 and newer) just the oil techs. No prior warning. Just a standard oil change.

I was going to get lunch while at work. I opened the driver’s door and sat on the driver’s seat. I closed the driver’s door and my rear window exploded and shattered into thousands of pieces.

I am submitting a complaint regarding a serious water intrusion issue with my 2023 Nissan Rogue. My vehicle developed a severe water leak that allowed water to enter both sides of the vehicle. The amount of water intrusion is significant and has caused concern about possible hidden damage, including mold growth, mildew, and damage to electrical components. I brought my vehicle to hallmark Nissan in birmingham, alabama for evaluation. The dealership informed me that this is a known issue and that Nissan has a technical service bulletin, ntb21-097b, addressing water leaks at the top front corners of the windshield on certain 2021–2023 Nissan Rogue vehicles. My vehicle was only two days outside of the warranty period when I brought it in for this problem. Even though Nissan has identified this issue through a technical service bulletin, I was advised that I would be responsible for approximately $684 in repair costs. I believe this is unacceptable for a relatively new vehicle with a known defect. A vehicle should not allow water to leak into the passenger compartment due to a known issue shortly after the warranty expires. This water intrusion creates potential safety concerns, including: mold and mildew growth that could affect occupants’ health. Corrosion or failure of electrical wiring, connectors, sensors, and other vehicle systems. Potential malfunction of safety-related components due to water damage. Additional costly damage that may not become apparent until later. The existence of technical service bulletin ntb21-097b demonstrates that Nissan is aware of this condition, yet customers are still being required to pay for repairs. I believe this issue should be investigated as a potential safety defect rather than treated as a normal repair expense. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this water intrusion issue affecting Nissan Rogue vehicles and determine whether Nissan should provide a safety remedy or recall for affected owners.

My 2023 Nissan Rogue was sitting in the hot sun and the rear window shattered. There was no accident or apparent defect in the window. It was simply the hottest day of the year (July 27, 2026) followed by a night time rainstorm. I had not even driven the car that day.

My vehicle experienced severe stalling, rough idling, and a strong burning smell, which match the exact defect characteristics outlined in NHTSA campaign 26v080 for Nissan main bearing failure (the year 2026 campaign is active). The vehicle was towed to a Nissan dealership, where technicians confirmed the engine requires complete replacement. However, the dealership is currently attempting to attribute the engine failure to 'coil intrusion' rather than the active bearing recall. The vehicle was purchased used in February 2026, just days after the official recall notification was sent to dealers. I am filing this complaint because the manufacturer is actively reviewing the claim and potentially bypassing a federally mandated safety remedy by blaming a consequential symptom of the engine failure. To specifically answer the above questions: the engine's main bearings failed/malfunctioned internally, causing catastrophic damage requiring a total engine replacement. The vehicle and its components are currently intact and available for inspection at the Nissan dealership service center. The vehicle suffered sudden, unexpected engine stalling while actively driving. This caused an immediate loss of motive power on a public roadway, creating a severe crash hazard and putting myself and surrounding drivers at risk of a rear-end collision. Yes. An authorized Nissan dealership service department has inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the engine has suffered a total mechanical failure and needs to be completely replaced. The vehicle is currently being inspected by an authorized Nissan dealership service center, and the case has been officially escalated to Nissan corporate for a technical and warranty review. A strong burning smell and severe rough idling appeared a couple days prior to the incident. However, the check engine light did not illuminate or provide any warning until the moment the engine completely stalled on the highway.

"I am reporting federal safety recall non-compliance and fraudulent remedy execution by an authorized manufacturer franchise, bella Nissan of union city ([xxx]), regarding NHTSA campaign 26v-080 (Nissan recall code r25e2) on my 2023 Nissan Rogue sl fwd. I am the original owner of this vehicle, which has an exceptionally low odometer reading of 12,142 miles. The vehicle is used as primary medical transport for my [xxx] special needs son, who has a severe traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and partial paralysis. On July 1st, 2026, I brought the vehicle to the dealership explicitly to resolve the critical engine bearing seizure and fire-risk recall. The dealership quoted a 3-hour repair window. Instead, the dealer rushed the vehicle through in 43 minutes total (start: 12:52, end: 13:35) and recorded an impossible 1-mile odometer difference (mileage 12,142, mileage out: 12,143). A single-mile drive is physically incapable of heating the engine oil to the high operating temperatures required by Nissan’s official engineering service bulletin to diagnose defective engine bearings. The dealership falsely certified to federal databases that this fire-risk vehicle was legally remedied, cleared the active safety flag on my consumer app, and billed the manufacturer's warranty department for work never performed. They also billed for a multi-point inspection and complimentary detail that were completely falsified, returning the car with an untouched, dirty windshield. The service advisor then actively withheld the paperwork I physically initialed at pickup, forcing me to take an internal 'pre-invoice audit copy' to conceal the non-compliant metrics. By rubber-stamping this safety recall on paper without executing the mandatory high-temperature diagnostic drive loop, this dealership has left an unverified fire-risk asset on the road, actively endangering a medically fragile family. I am refusing any future repair loops I want a buyback information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b).

I was driving down the highway and my ac vents started blowing hot air, then my car started to putt like it wanted to stop, then thick smoke started coming out my ac vents filling my car to the point I could not see. I pulled over and my entire car was full of smoke and I began to choke as I put the car in park and crawled out my smoking car. Bystanders pulled over to help me and my car was smoking from the engine and back of car. The police and fire department were called and I was take to a local hospital by ambulance for smoke inhalation.

Transmission/ motor mount went out at 80k, the issue was going on before hand where my car would shake violently. I had been complaining about it for months they kept telling me it was normal, come to find out my transmission mount is going bad. Now they want to charge me 2k to replace it, after the engine was replaced.

World car Nissan states the issues with the vehicle are not recall related. They blame the defects on a faulty oil temp sensor and engine mount. When the incident occurred signaling for us to take it into the shop, the vehicle slowed down very suddenly and the engine force was limited by the system. Even waiting for the car to cool down, it did not start and work properly. Even a day after the incident, the accelerator was not working.

When accelerating, the car fails too move forward. I then place it in neutral while it is still rolling and pump the acceleratior. This then gets the car moving forward again. This has happened about once every 2 to 3 weeks. It is currently at the dealer service department and they have run the diagnostics on it but so far can't find anything wrong. This car is very dangerous to drive as is because it will eventually cause an accident.

I am reaching out because recently I have been getting messages display on my dashboard of malfunction lights along with a check engine light currently my car has 27k miles I bought it brand new zero miles at the dealership of universal city Nissan who closed down I have gotten my maintenance with the nearby certified Nissan and kept up to date however this message only displays on startup and goes away when I turn it back on I took it to the dealership for my oil change and a recent recall after the recall I got the messages and I took it back again and it appears my throttle position sensor to be reading 6% upon start up in which they said it means sticking upon start up and I have done my research Nissan are doing recalls on this and it is exactly the symptoms I have now on my car I am very concerned because the dealership it trying to charge me and my car has been kept to date and all these recall issues are concerning me with the safety of my car. I wanted to reach out if I can get it fixed at the courtesy of Nissan since my VIN is not listed but it is having the exact symptoms.

I opened the drivers door, got in, closed the door and the back windshield shattered.

Rear windshield glass shattered on its own while driving.

The passenger side roof is leaking water. It’s leaks through the roof and through the headliner. The water leaks onto the passenger curtain airbag before it leaks onto the headliner. It’s on the pass side between the sunroof and the passenger door of the car and on the a pillar. Worried it will affect airbag or make the roof moldy. It’s hard to see in photos but easy to see in person.

I was sitting in stopped traffic when the incident occurred. My sunroof was open at the time. Without any warning or external impact, I heard a sudden loud “boom,” and the sunroof glass shattered. Glass fragments dispersed throughout the vehicle, and the lower portion of the sunroof appeared to have exploded. There were no objects, debris, or other vehicles that made contact with my car. The failure appeared to be spontaneous. Vehicle information: year: 2023 make: Nissan model: Rogue conditions at time of incident: speed: 0 mph (stopped traffic) weather: clear blue skies, sunny, approximately 84°f safety concern: this incident created a significant safety hazard. The sudden explosion of glass without warning could have caused injury to occupants or led to a loss of vehicle control if the vehicle had been in motion. I am aware that there have been other consumer reports of sunroof glass shattering unexpectedly in similar vehicles across the industry, including reports involving Nissan Rogue models. This raises concern about a potential defect in the sunroof glass or installation.

I was driving down the road doing 70mph in a 75mph when out of nowhere my 2023 Nissan Rogue just shut down no power, no warning, no nothing a extremely terrifying experience. I managed to pull over on the side of the road and it would not start back up, and is still inoperable and sitting on the side of the road because I can't get it towed to my Nissan dealership and the luck of it all is I just had my vehicle diagnosis on a open recall on 3/23/2026 they did a engine inspection, reprogrammed the ecm, and did a road test, now 3 weeks later this happens to me, maybe it wasn't apparent at the time, but something happened to where I was put in danger and this is a serious problem involving the Nissan Rogue.

Back rear glass shattered for no reason is it due to faulty rear suspension or poor glass quality vehicle only has 9200 miles.

While driving at approximately 70 mph on I-76 , a “cvt hot” warning appeared on the dashboard. Immediately after, the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate normally, creating a safety hazard in traffic. I was forced to pull over multiple times. This issue began after a recall repair was performed on the vehicle. The condition resolved temporarily after shutting the vehicle off, but the failure was sudden and dangerous. While driving, multiple warning messages appeared including awd system errors and check engine light. The vehicle’s performance became unstable and unreliable. This created concern about loss of control and drivability. The vehicle had recently undergone recall service, after which these issues began occurring intermittently. The vehicle was brought to an authorized Nissan dealership multiple for diagnosis of the cvt warning, awd errors, and loss of power. The dealership kept the vehicle for several hours on multiple occasions but stated they were unable to replicate the issue. No repair was performed any of the times. The safety concern remains unresolved. This continually happens and they yell at me saying there's nothing they could do. To be direct: I am aware that “unable to replicate” is often used to avoid opening warranty claims or authorizing costly repairs. However, this does not resolve the issue, nor does it eliminate the safety risk. The vehicle is demonstrably unsafe when the failure occurs, and the burden should not be shifted onto the customer simply because the issue is intermittent.

Despite having recall repairs completed, I have experienced two separate accidents within a 3–4 month period and no longer feel that this vehicle is safe to operate. Given the known safety recalls associated with this model, including engine failure risks that can result in sudden loss of power, I am extremely concerned that my vehicle may still be affected by an unresolved or improperly remedied defect. This situation presents a serious safety risk to myself, my passengers, and others on the road.

I was going about 30 mph and slowing to turn into my driveway, when my rear window exploded, I thought someone shot it out. I went to dealership and they said it's not covered by my warranty and that they have heard of this happening. So Nissan knows this is a problem yet they refuse to recall it. I've had the car 1 month, I purchased it on February 23, 2026 and this occurred on March 24, 2026. I'm also aware that there is a class action suit against them for this problem, they are trying to say it's wear and tear.

Fuel smell in the cab of the vehicle.

While operating my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the panoramic sunroof exploded outward without any external impact. The incident occurred under normal driving conditions with no debris strike, collision, or environmental hazard. The explosion produced a loud sound consistent with owner reports in past Nissan sunroof cases, often described as similar to a "gunshot. " the glass front the sunroof rained down on myself, my wife, and our child. A police report was taken of the incident as well as an insurance claim. This incident could have resulted in serious physical harm to myself, my passenger, and or other motorist had the glass gotten into my eyes as being the driver and possibly losing control of the vehicle and possibly hitting another motorist. This also could have caused injury to the passengers' eyes as glass was flying into the vehicle with the air from the outside was rushing into the vehicle.

Back windshield shattered for no reason.

While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue (approximately 51,000 miles), the vehicle completely lost all electrical power twice. The first incident occurred on Wednesday while stopped at a traffic light, and the second occurred on Friday afternoon after parking the vehicle; in the second instance, it would not start and had to be towed to the dealership. Prior to the failures, the vehicle displayed cvt malfunction and mil (malfunction indicator lamp) warnings, which the dealership was made aware of. When the vehicle was brought to the dealership (keating Nissan), they identified a fatigued negative battery terminal and cable assembly as the cause. They performed a temporary adjustment, but stated that the repair is not permanent and may require replacement. Only days before these incidents, the dealership performed a multi-point inspection where the battery was marked as passing inspection. Because the vehicle lost all power while driving, this was a serious safety concern, putting me, passengers, and others on the road at risk. The vehicle can be inspected by the dealership upon request. I do not feel confident that the root issue has been permanently resolved, and I am concerned given the age and mileage of the vehicle that such a failure occurred so early. I would appreciate assistance reviewing this situation, confirming the appropriate permanent repair, and advising on options for support given the safety concern.

On Friday my car wouldn’t start. I put in a request for aaa to come out and do a battery test. The technician comes out and hooks up my battery to the portable box and it still didn’t have the power to crank the car. The car turned on and was clicking it didn’t have enough power to actually start the car. My dad came and gave me a jump Saturday morning, and said he thinks I needed a new battery. I drove to advanced auto by my house had them perform a battery test and the told me the battery was complete shot. I had to spend $300 on a new battery. After I left there and got onto rt 70, the thermostat in the corner of the dash, the needle started moving up more towards the hot once I accelerated to 50 mph. The way home was a night mare as the car started to lose power, check engine light came on then the check oil light. At this point my car is jerking across the intersection where I had to put on my hazards and barely made it home. It’s weird this all happened within a day and so sudden. I got notification about the recalls and was thinking this is all related. Monday morning 3/3 I get the car towed to Nissan on rt 37, where the told me I needed a engine but not due from the recall. The recall was for oil temp and the car has a coolant leak that leaked on the engine and I would have to pay out of pocket. I asked for the report they haven’t sent anything over yet. I bought that car from carvana last March on the 17th, so it hasn’t been a year and they told me I’m out of my warranty’s at 71 thousand miles. I feel so defeated as I’m paying 500 a month for this is car and haven’t had it for a year. I’m reaching out to file a complaint or to see if there’s anything I can do on my end. With the coolant leak, I’ve never had any issues with the car prior as it drove regularly and never saw any residue on the ground. Nissan representative said she’s working with her manager to see if they can do a good will.

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.

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).

My rear view window shattered with no impact or anything to cause it. I was backing out of my garage rear end first, and it was a loud bam!.

I have taken my vehicle in 2 or 3 separate times since June 2025 to get this recall done, and gwinnett place Nissan keeps making excuses as to why they cannot do the recall for me. Now my vehicle is on the side of the road broken down because they failed to complete my recall multiple times.

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.

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.

On, January 16, 2026, the rear windshield spontaneously exploded as we were entering our vehicle.
