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.

My back windshield of my 2025 Nissan Rogue creek got busted as soon as I close my driver’s side door. Its really dangerous because it can cause passenger injuries. I am sure this back windshield can cold temperature on thr winter time.

Unknown my 2024 Nissan Rogue rear windshield shattered while parked. Parked the car at the job site parking area, went to work, came out to the car and saw rear windshield was shattered. No evidence of vandalism found.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent water intrusion defect in my 2022 Nissan Rogue platinum that Nissan has not formally addressed through a recall, despite published technical service bulletins acknowledging the issue. During periods of heavy rain and when using automated car washes, water enters the cabin from the sunroof area on both the passenger and driver sides. I discovered this only after observing blue soap residue running down the interior side panels, and upon further inspection have since noticed signs of mold growth inside the vehicle within the past month. After researching this problem, I learned that this issue is well documented and widespread among 2021–2023 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Nissan has issued multiple technical service bulletins, including TSB bt21-020b, identifying defective sunroof drain clips and revised repairs. However, Nissan has not issued a recall or formal owner notification, despite the clear pattern of failure reported online across consumer forums, reddit, and Nissan owner communities with hundreds, if not thousands, of similar complaints. I was forced to seek repair through a local Nissan dealership, which charged me $289. 24 for the repair. This defect is not the result of wear and tear or misuse, but of an inherently defective design component that allows water intrusion into sealed vehicle compartments. This defect creates health risks from mold exposure, risks damage to interior components and electronics, and reduces vehicle resale value. I believe Nissan should have issued a safety recall rather than shifting financial responsibility to owners for correcting a known manufacturing defect. Continued water intrusion and mold formation represent a health and safety concern that warrants NHTSA review. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and require Nissan to issue a recall or provide reimbursement coverage to affected owners. Thank you for your consideration.

I got in the car and before even starting the car the window on the hatch exploded. It is shattered and I am glad my child was not in the back seat.

The back windshield exploded. Nothing hit the windshield and there was no warning of it occuring.

I was driving down the road when I heard a loud popping noise. When I got out to check I noticed my sunroof/moonroof was shattered. When traveling down the road there were no cars in front of me, no construction sites, and no over passes. The incident happened randomly. There were no problems with the sunroof prior to this. There was no impact.

Rear trunk - under bumper hands free feature closes on head and/or body while loading or unloading items. Head several times and body once while bent into trunk space. Called Nissan corporate office to report and told to call dealer and have service check sensor. Appointment Saturday 11/22/2025 at Nissan of torrance. Results = unable to disable. Part 988 tested ok at this time. Safety hazard that can cause painful/harm to body of myself/child/pets/others and creates fear/anxiety when it closes on to head and/or body.

1) the passenger door on the drivers side will not open and the drivers side window also is faulty. 2) it is a safety hazard to have car doors that won't open, as it can prevent emergency exit, and it can also create a danger to other road users. If a door is stuck closed during a crash, it could prevent a person from getting out, which is particularly dangerous if the car catches fire. A faulty car window regulator is a safety hazard, especially in florida, because it can prevent you from opening the window in an emergency, compromise security by not closing properly, and expose the interior to the elements. A faulty regulator can lead to a window being stuck, falling into the door, or not closing completely, all of which create potential risks 3) the dealer has confirmed this issue with this make and model of vehicle and have fixed the same issues when they were under warranty but refuse to handle said issue now that the warranty being up. It is a three year old car I bought new 4)this issue has been inspected and has been known by the dealer service department of mike erdman Nissan. 5) the issue has happened with other window regulators and doors that would not open on the vehicle in question. 4) the vehicle had issues with.

I noticed that my car was often unlocked after I knew for a fact that I locked it. I also had a problem with the right passenger door not unlocking even when the unlock button was pushed. I would often have to physically unlock that door on its own. After this happened for about a month, the car now opens even if I have locked it, with some of the doors causing the alarm to sound, even the door easily opened. I am concerned about safety especially when going out late at night or leaving my car parked in public lots. The problem was confirmed by the dealer when I went in for service. They inspected it and told me the door lock actuators on the back doors are bad. After looking this up, I see that there is a class action suit pending for this issue. There were no warnings prior to this happening.

Hatch hydraulic lift failed and trunk slammed on me. I also believe the hood latch might be a safety concern due to the hood wiggling like it doesn’t want to stay shut and shaking when on highway.

I was in a head on collision going 55-60mph with no airbags deployed. Car started a dripping fire. I have seatbelt lacerations starting from collarbone/neck area cross my chest, breast and right side ribs including deep bruising on lower abdomen and pelvic area. Police would not let me in my car bc air bags could potentially go off at any time but car made it to the tow-yard still without airbags going off. No warning or recalls sent to me since I bought the car in may of 2022.

On oct 15th, 2025 in the afternoon my vehicle was parked at my work and back hatch windshield complete shattered. Many other vehicles parked in the same parking lot. No signs of any foul play. Called state farm insurance and they called the auto glass repair shop to file a claim and have fixed. This could have been tragic if would have been driving possibly. Seems many other owners of Nissan rouge other year/model are having the same issue. Dealer is being contacted as well. The vehicle was bought brand new approx. 3 months ago in July 2025. No warning of any thing wrong with hatch/windshield. Vehicle may be looked at for inspection but it is to be fixed oct 16th 2025. Pictures were taken and documented.

Everytime it rains water leaks in under drivers side dash filling my floorboard and my window and radio malfunction, probably from water in dashboard.

During a recent trip I noticed a "fluttering/rattling" noise coming from the top of the windshield of our 2021 Nissan Rogue platinum. The noise was very noticeable at interstate highway speed and on rougher road surfaces. While looking for the source of noise I found staining on the driver side headliner and interior front pillar garnish. Took Rogue to dealer and was told that the seal for the attachment clips for the roof rack were leaking into the interior. Leakage had damaged headliner and gotten into the airbag. The roof racks would have to be removed and sealed and the entire headliner, front pillar garnish, and the airbag replaced. The total repair would cost approximately $4,000. 00. Since the Rogue was 45 months old with 20,500 miles it was out of warranty due to its age. The dealer told me that I would be responsible for the cost to repair it since it was out of warranty. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs to see if they would cover the cost since the leak was caused by a design and/or manufacturing defect. Nissan agreed to pay 90% of the repair but I would be responsible for the remaining 10% (approximately $400. 00). I told them this was unacceptable and that Nissan should be responsible for the entire cost of the repair. Nissan has refused my requests to cover the full cost of repair. An internet search revealed that Nissan was aware of the defect and had issued a service bulletin (ntb21-097, dated 10/20/21), which was a few months before we purchased the vehicle. Since the leak can allow water to damage the airbag it is a serious safety issue. The airbag may not deploy properly during an accident or could suddenly deploy for no reason and cause a crash. Nissan should take full responsibility and pay the full amount for the repair since it is a known design and/or manufacturing defect. Nissan should issue a recall for affected vehicles.

Was sitting in my car at the dunkin’ donuts when my rear window shattered. Nothing hit the window, no one hit me the window just shattered. Dunkin donuts is looking at cameras to see what happened.

2021 Nissan Rogue sv fwd 5n1at3baxmc6*****. Water leaking inside interior during rain storm in upper left drivers side corner of vehicle. Shifter delayed when shifting into park, neutral, reverse, or drive and shifter assembly indicator lights are out. Reference ntb21-069a. This is a known issue. A corrupted shifter assembly has caused this vehicle to display multiple warnings such as cvt warnings , shifter position warnings, front and rear crash sensors unavailable, and a multitude of other electrical system warnings. Communications with Nissan consumer affairs and Nissan service departments both of which state the vehicle is out of warranty and repairs for this known issue will be charged to customer despite evidence this is a manufacturing defect known to exist within this year make and model.

My interior rear view mirror keeps falling off. I took it back to Honda and they said they fixed it but it still falls off . My rear windshield wiper fell off. My console has a light that is always on and they said it was fixed. My fob got locked in my car. I was forced to buy a car clear shield but it isn’t on. I was forced to buy car security system I didn’t want.

> I purchased a 2023 Nissan Rogue brand new and it now has only 32,000 miles. It has a major water leak—flooding the interior through the lights, vents, and floor—yet Nissan won’t cover it under warranty and state farm denied my comprehensive claim. The vehicle has sat exposed for 3 weeks at the body shop during constant rain, worsening the damage. The car is now unsafe to drive. Nissan failed to disclosure valid and pertinent information regarding the limitations on their warranty coverage. Furthermore, Nissan failed to disclose maintenance guidelines for maintaining a sunroof. Additionally, regardless of any debris build-up, the size of the water lines are inadequate to hold large volumes of water at a given time. The amount of rain that has occurred in alabama over the past 3 months super exceeds the capacity of these drainage tubes, leading to interior flooding that is detrimental to the integrity of the safety features in this vehicle. My lights, electrical panel, air bags, and electrical ports have all been impacted by this intrusion and now I'm left with a useless, unsafe, and unpredictable vehicle that has a total of 32,000 miles. This is fraud and deceptive behavior that should be made public. I believe others need to know this could happen. I’d appreciate your help.

Liftgate closes while people are still behind the car. When loading/unloading items from the back of the car, the liftgate will close on you while you are still behind the car. The gate pins you between it and the rear bumper. This issue is predictable and repeatable. The dealership/Nissan has not yet confirmed this is an issue and my personal vehicle has not been inspected for this particular issue. There are no warnings of any kind prior to, during, or after this issue occurs. I bought the car brand new and the issue presented itself the very first day I owned it.

The factory-installed roof rails on my 2019 Nissan Rogue are severely corroding and structurally deteriorating. The metal is visibly oxidizing, flaking, and breaking apart. Portions of the roof rail appear to be separating and losing structural integrity. This corrosion is occurring under normal use and typical midwest weather exposure, with no misuse, accidents, or modifications. The vehicle has not been exposed to extreme environments or chemicals that would reasonably cause this level of degradation. Safety concern: the roof rails are a structural exterior component designed to secure roof racks and cargo. Due to the corrosion and material failure, there is a significant safety risk that: roof-mounted cargo or crossbars could detach while driving metal fragments could break off and become road debris the failure could occur at highway speeds, posing a danger to other vehicles and pedestrians this issue represents a potential design, material, or manufacturing defect rather than normal wear. Corrosion of this severity should not occur on a relatively modern vehicle. I am concerned this may affect other Nissan Rogue vehicles of similar model years and warrants investigation. Photos documenting the corrosion and deterioration are attached. Requested action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue for potential safety defects related to roof rail corrosion and structural failure on the 2019 Nissan Rogue. Submitted [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The door actuators on both sides of car do not work properly when you press the lock button on the remote the doors don't lock the actuator prevents locks from opening and closing the doors thus, you think your vehicle is locked but it isn't locked. The trunk closes immediately after it goes up in the open position causing a risk for someone to hit his/her head as the trunk closes immediately after opening.

Driver side door handle broken. Spring came loose when opening door. Dash has permanent alert showing door open when closed.

I was driving on highway 68 and heard a loud bang. Like an explosion. Parked my car and found that the sunroof had exploded. It sounded like a gunshot.

There is standing water on the driver’s side floorboard and a sloshing noise can be heard while driving. This appears to match conditions described in a technical service bulletin (reference: ntb14-105a). The issue is especially bad in rainy conditions and the accumulation of moisture causes condensation on the inside of the windshield and windows making it difficult to clear off to see while driving. Additionally due to the large amount of water, mold is starting to grow on the interior upholstery. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer who confirmed the issue although they declined to cover the cost of the repair as there are currently no active recalls related to this issue. They further claim that ntb14-105a does not apply to this vehicle.

On thanksgiving, the rear door of our vehicle closed unexpectedly on my back while I was loading food and gifts. It seemed stuck; I had to lift it manually to reset it. It then resumed working normally. However, recently, it fell on my husband’s head while he was unloading groceries. He has a history of concussions, and I am very concerned about the safety risk this malfunction poses. Please investigate this issue and advise on any recalls or necessary actions.

I bought my car 2 months ago. I took it for oil change they found the front sub frame need replacement. They stat that the cat has been in a accident.

On interstate, the vehicle felt like it had a "float" feel and occasional shimmy while driving. Upon parking in town, stranger identified vehicle's driver-side rear wheel was not straight. Observation showed ground-contacting point of tire was angled outward from car. Diagnosis by both Nissan dealership and subsequent independent mechanic was extreme rust of undercarriage causing upper control arm to rust through and rot of the underside of car to the point of being "not salvageable" and non-fixable. This meant the rear wheel was wobbling while driving on the interstate and could have completely let go. This vehicle has been consistently maintained as a daily-driver and at only 59k miles, it was mentioned several times that the level of rust was extraordinary.

Paint on the hood peeling significantly. No signs of chips or scratches near the peeling site. Paint is expected to last 10 to 15 years under normal driving conditions and mine has lasted only 7. Color is white. There is a current class action suit against Nissan for paint issues, and I want my voice heard too.

My back window exploded. I was just driving and the whole thing shattered. Thought I was shot with a gun but after the cops came they checked my car and found out this exploding window is common with the newer Nissan Rogues. I have the incident on dash cam too. I now have to pay $500 for my deductible to fix the window since Nissan won’t take responsibility. My car is being repaired tomorrow. I do have a police report number but I can’t move onto the next page without the report so I’m stating “no” but the answer is “yes”.
