2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2026

I purchased my 2024 Nissan Rogue 12 days ago at bob bell in baltimore MD. Day 12 I was leaving work like usual. When I closed my driver door the rear hatch glass exploded into a million pieces. Clearly there must have been a manufacter defect in the glass for this to occur. Contacted dealer and Nissan consumer affairs. Both are telling me that this is not a recall issue nor is it covered under warranty. After arriving home I googled this situation and come to fin that this a very common isssue in the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogues. There is a class action suit against Nissan about this issue. At least in my situation I was parked when it exploded but had I been driving that glass flying could have been a much worse situation. I just want Nissan to own up to this and cover the repair. I also want to make others aware of this known problem. Beings that I was leaving work the whole event was captured on security footage.

11 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2026

While driving under normal conditions, I heard a sudden loud pop and the rear windshield completely shattered without any collision, debris impact, or external force. The glass failure appeared spontaneous. I have two young children and shattered glass entered the cabin, creating a serious safety hazard. I have since learned that there are multiple consumer reports of spontaneous rear hatch or rear windshield shattering in 2021–2025 Nissan Rogues. This appears to be a recurring safety defect.

12 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2026

At about 9:40 a. M. On January 5, 2026, the rear window shattered. The incident occurred on I-26 northbound, about 10 miles north of charleston, SC. Temperature was about 50 degrees. No road hazard. No throw rock or road debris. And we were not near any overpass. Just a loud bang and the window failed. Two holes were created and the rest of the window was completely crazed. No foreign object was found inside the car, only fragments of broken glass. Our safety was never at risk. I maintained speed and pulled into the first rest area to check the damage.

13 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2026

My wife [xxx] ) was traveling in her 2024 Nissan rouge at highway speed on her way to work on 1/5/26, in southeast alabama, no defroster on, or other car in sight. While traveling her rear windshield randomly busted into a thousand pieces. She immediately notified myself [xxx] ) and the local sheriffs office, first believing someone had shot at her car. After deputies arrived and a thorough investigation, revealed that fortunately no one had shot at the car. That it appeared to be a random flaw/defect with the back glass windshield. They also noted that that a similar incident occurred last week mid morning, with a gentleman in a same make and model rouge, as he was traveling, busted without warning. I attempted to call dealership, but they send unbothered and informed me nothing could be done due to no active recall. Upon my own investigation today, I have noted and located many instances of the same occurring in similar models, and even some class actions suits potentially in the works. Please review this with the correct persons and hopefully find some safe resolve. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

14 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/25/2025

On christmas day 2025 around noon my 2024 Nissan Rogue was parked in the garage as always. Garage temperature was about 45 f. I opened the rear hatch and heard a crackling sound. When I closed the hatch the glass exploded into a million pieces. Clearly there must have been a manufacturer defect in the glass for this to occur. Contacted dealer, they told me that this is not a recall issue nor is it covered under warranty. However, after checking with some off-site authority, they said that since the car was so new that Nissan would make an exception and pay for the replacement of the glass. Later they said that since it had more than 36,000 miles they would not pay for it after all. However they did say that they would "split the cost" with me. I asked how much my share of that cost would be, and was told $480. This was the exact price quoted by safeco to come to my house and repair it on the spot. This a very common issue in the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogues. There is a class action suit against Nissan about this issue. At least in my situation I was parked when it exploded but had I been driving that glass flying could have been a much worse situation. I just want Nissan to own up to this and cover the repair. I also want to make others aware of this known problem.

15 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2025

Rear windshield/window spontaneously shattered and then fell apart after remote-starting in freezing (below 32?f) temperatures. I have photos. Nissan says there's nothing they can do (even with the expensive bumper to bumper warranty we paid for). If this had happened while we were driving my family could've been hurt by flying glass.

16 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2025

On 12/16/25 at approximately 6:30am central time, the rear back glass spontaneously shattered while driving to work. The outside temperature was below 30 degrees causing some frost build up. I turned on the rear defrost, and within a few minutes, I heard a loud pop and then a cracking, crumbling like noise and looked back to see the glass was completely shattered.

17 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2025

On November 3, 2025, the rear window spontaneously shattered. The vehicle was parked under the carport under cover at home and was not in motion.

20 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2025

While at work with my new car (I bought it the day before), I was sitting in my car and heard a pop. When I looked behind me, the whole windshield had shattered but not fallen out of the frame yet. Little by little pieces kept falling. I had it repaired that day in order to keep the vehicle functional. There were no warnings previously. I still have the receipt for the replacement window and I have pictures that show the window damage.

21 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2025

Rear tailgate window exploded for no reason. I work for a fleet company and we have had this happen on at least 8 Nissan Rogues some in winter some in summer. Glass being blown out is extremely frightening while driving and could increase the risk of a crash. Its also a safety issue with glass entering the passenger compartment. This has been reproduced 100s of times. There's plenty of online forums where other Rogue owners have experienced the same issue.
