Equipment Problems of Nissan Rogue - part 1

I opened the driver side front door, got in, closed the door & the rear window shattered. No passengers. Nobody got hurt. No police report. Nothing fell on car. Dealer was no help. Insurance company made an appointment to get it fixed tomorrow morning. No inspections. No warnings. Going to cost me $400. 00. Car is available for inspection anytime. Very frustrating. Car is 16 months old.

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.

I purchased a 2025 Nissan Rogue approximately two weeks ago. Three nights ago, when I left work, I opened the rear driver-side door to place my backpack inside. When I gently closed the door—without slamming it—the entire rear windshield shattered. The glass had no prior damage; I had been regularly using the rear hatch and back seat doors throughout the week with no issues. Safelite came to my home yesterday to replace the rear windshield, and during the appointment we discovered that the liftgate will not open. I attempted every method of opening the button on the dashboard, the key fob, the hands-free foot sensor, and even attempting to manually release it. Nothing worked. The technician advised me to take the vehicle to the dealership. Later that afternoon, I brought the vehicle to wally’s Nissan in hazleton, pennsylvania. The technicians attempted the same methods I did, including trying to manually open and pry the liftgate. Despite this, the liftgate would not release, and the attempts to access it are resulting in damage to the interior of my brand-new vehicle. I am extremely unhappy with the situation and the condition in which my vehicle is being left. Based on what I have researched, it appears that a piece of shattered glass may be lodged in the latch mechanism, preventing the liftgate from opening. The dealership informed me that they do not know how to proceed and essentially sent me away without a resolution and just blaming the door actuator. At this time, I cannot have the rear windshield replaced because the liftgate cannot be opened. We are approaching winter weather, temperatures are dropping, and I commute an hour to work every day. I cannot be left with a vehicle I just purchased that has no functional liftgate and no rear window, with no guidance or support from the dealership. I am requesting immediate assistance and direction, as this situation is unacceptable. I should not be told “there is nothing we can do”.

While driving, multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard, including the check engine light, malfunction indicator, and crash sensor warnings. A message then displayed: “engine malfunction power reduced service now. ” the engine began making loud knocking noises, lost power, and the vehicle entered reduced-power mode. The issue appears to be related to the ongoing engine bearing failure recall (r25a8 / 25v-437) affecting Nissan vehicles with vc-turbo engines. Because of these symptoms and the risk of complete engine failure or loss of motive power, the vehicle became unsafe to drive and was parked. The problem poses a serious safety risk, as the loss of power occurred suddenly while the vehicle was in motion, which could cause an accident if it happens in traffic. The problem has not yet been repaired because the manufacturer has not released the full recall remedy. I called the Nissan dealership in greeneville TN, at 8:53 am est on 11/08/2025 the vehicle is currently parked at my residence. I was advised by the dealership to call back on Monday morning to schedule an inspection at a Nissan dealership. Warning lights and the “engine malfunction power reduced” message first appeared shortly before the loud knocking began and power loss occurred on the vehicle.

The sunroof on our car literally combusted on me and my wife while we were driving on the road. There was no sound of impact nor is there any sign of debris in our car. The glass simply shattered into our car spreading shards and micro glass all over the place. Again, there was no sign of debris in the car nor any sound of impact. This must be a defect especially since this seems to be particularly common with Nissan models.

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.

On Saturday, November first I was driving down the road about sixty five miles per hour. No one around me and nothing on the road. And all of a sudden, my back glass shattered.

While my Nissan rouge was sitting out in a parking lot the rear windshield shattered. The temperatures were not below freezing and did not go above 60°f. The low temperature was 45°f. There was no foul play or any evidence of damage to the rest of the vechile. Just the windshield shattered.

Nissan has failed in a timely manner to get the service bulletin out about the engine recall.

Spontaneous shattering: rear windshield shattering suddenly, often accompanied by a loud pop or bang, with no external impact, rock, or vandalism being the cause.

The muffler diffuser , a part of the exhaust system, suddenly and without warning failed as I was driving on the freeway. There were no warnings or indications of a problem until the passenger side joint failed as I was driving but the driver side joint was still attached and sticking out from the back of the car. This happened as I was driving on the freeway and when it happened I just heard a loud rattling sound. Since one side was still attached I was dragging/scraping the metal part on the freeway without realizing it, which could have caused a spark/ fire or if it had broken off completely an accident for myself or others. If it had continued to bend it could have gotten caught up in my wheels or worse. This is a hazard/danger in my opinion. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by anyone other than my dad as of this moment. He was able to unscrew the diffuser so I could drive the car otherwise the car would have been a giant safety hazard and undriveable. The broken diffuser is still in my possession.

I continue to get a check engine light on my car that reads code p0101. The very first time it happened I took it to a mechanic they read the diagnostic code and advised I would need to replace the mass airflow sensor. I purchase the part from a Nissan dealership and it was replaced by a mechanic approximately January 2025. The light would continue to come on sporadically. I took it back and was told that engine air filter was dirty. It was replaced the code was cleared and driving fine. 10 months later the same light and code are appearing on my car. It’s been taken to a mechanic whom after checking wiring and other components again believes it’s the mass air flow sensor. This part is not cheap but continues to cause a problem even when replaced with genuine parts.

Vehicle was parked in driveway on a reasonably cool day and the rear hatch window fractured.

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.

The sunroom leaks in all 2016 Rogue models and Nissan refuses to help out the customers who are affected by this. I’ve done my research and I’m not the only person who has had problems when trying to deal with Nissan directly.

On October 20, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a. M. , my 2025 Nissan Rogue was parked in a public parking lot for several hours. When I started the engine, I heard a sudden loud pop, and the rear windshield immediately imploded, scattering glass both inside and outside the vehicle. There were no signs of impact, vandalism, or prior damage, and no hazards in the surrounding area. The vehicle’s climate control was set to “auto” at 70°f, and the rear defroster was not on. This appears to have been a spontaneous glass failure, similar to other reports from Rogue owners. The incident created a serious safety concern due to the sudden explosion of tempered glass, which could easily cause driver or passenger injury, distraction while operating the vehicle, or potential loss of visibility if it had occurred while driving. The rear hatch now lacks structural integrity and requires full replacement. I am filing this report to document the defect and ensure this issue is investigated further for potential manufacturing or thermal-stress flaws in the rear glass assembly.

Car was driving rough, with hesitation with acceleration and mil lamp was flashing. Car with only 25,924 miles ( bought with 24,641miles). Dealership said 3 plugs have melted which is not normal wear and tear. Nissan still trying to figure out if it's under warranty and said it is not part of recall. It's possible that this car has the recalled vct transmission and recall should be expanded because this is a serious safety issue.

I turned on the rear defrost feature for the first time on my brand new car and the window busted out.

Sometimes car will not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. It has happened on several occasions with the most recent stated below.

Two weeks ago my 2023 Nissan broke down on the highway and with reduced power mode we were able to bring it to the closest Nissan dealer. When we got there it was closed but we left the car and asked for a recall inspection due to the note that displayed on the dashboard matching what we had received in recall. We were informed Monday that it has nothing to do this the recall. . . We went back and forth with our Nissan dealer and called Nissan corporate and they refused to do the recall assessment which would be looking for metal shaving in the oil pan. They claimed this was because there was not sufficient enough evidence, even though there has been rattling, when I got an oil change he said it was very messy, our thermometer is broken and now I broke down on the highway. They still claimed there was not enough to warrant the assesment. They determined it was the ivt sensor which was a $1,432 fix. We went back and forth with Nissan corporate again to get the recall assessment done so that we could know if this was affecting why we needed a new part that shouldnt need to be replaced so early. . . . But we were denied again. We paid the money, but are still having issues with our car and Nissan dealer and corporate outright refused to evaluate our car for safety recall engine issues affected by recall. Manufacturer recall numberr25a8 NHTSA recall number25v-437.

I hust bought a 2023 Nissan roghe sv, took it home next day tried to start the vehicle but the dashboard display system was malfunctionig, tried to shft to reverse or drive and the vehicle wouldn't go foward or backwards. . . . It flashed all the icons on the dash board. In addition to this incedent the vehicle is making rattleing noices, knocking noices in the engine, it seems noices come specifically from around the timing change, the rattle is noticeable when accelerating and decelerating aorung 2000 rpms, when going up a hill the rattle is more louder.

Broken transmission at 100,000 miles ( maintenance was carried out according to the manual).

It was a cold morning and we defrosted our windows before leaving the house. We had been driving for about 2 hrs. We stopped and while in the car sitting with it parked, idling and with the heat on, there was a loud explosion sound and the back windshield blew out on its own on the passenger side! it flew outward behind the vehicle. It was like pressure came from within the vehicle and pushed it out? the whole back windshield started crackling for a long time and bubbling. This was very scary when it happened! if someone or another vehicle was behind ours this could of been very dangerous or even worse if we were driving at the time and it caused an accident! I googled Rogue rear window exploding on its own and this has happened to others!!.

My sunroof exploded as I was driving on route 495 near mansfield MA Friday October 10th at approximately 3:42 pm. I heard a loud noise sounded like a gunshot and glass flew everywhere. The glass shattered everywhere also in my hair as well as on the seats both front and back seats. My safety as well as other drivers on the road could have been compromised. Luckily, shaken from the shattering of glass I was able to go into the breakdown lane to aces the damage. My insurance company was closed and is also closed today I will report it to them tomorrow.

I took my Rogue to the dealership at city limits Nissan on Monday 10/6/25 as it had power issues and the engine light came on stating 'engine malfunction power reduce service now' I then called NHTSA and filed a complaint about a recall for my Nissan Rogue that Nissan has yet to have a remedy. I got the car back on Tuesday afternoon 10/7/25 and they said it did not have to do with the recall. I drove the car straight home. I went to work the next morning and as I was pulling into a parking spot in parking garage, all of the sudden, I was crashed into the wall at a high rate of speed. I am extremely concerned that this may have been a malfunction with the Nissan Rogue as this occurred less then 24 hours after it was serviced. My car was totaled and the damage looks like it hit at 30 mph or more which is extremely alarming as I was slowing coming into the parking spot. I don't know exactly what happened however if there have been any issues with Nissans and sudden acceleration, I feel this needs to be investigated. My Rogue is a 2022 and had to have the engine replaced in early 2024. Nissan could not give any explanation as to why. My car has been taken to a salvage yard and I am concerned that if there was and issue, any evidence of an issued could be destroyed. Had there not been heavy duty cables, I could have gone further through the parking garage wall and fallen 3 stories.

Did same as ever day going to work except for I used rear defrost I got to raised rear door I was standing under it I hear a pop and a crackle I look and my rear door glass shattered for no reason at first I researched it and found that it is a known problem Nissan knows about at any given time it can pop going down the road or just setting there.

When closing the back window of my Nissan Rogue it shattered.

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.

I bought my 2023 Nissan Rogue back in may. Then in June or July, I noticed a huge bulge on the sidewall on my left front driver's side of my car. I had to have it replaced immediately, in which I did, at walmart. Fast forward to September 30, and I went to mclarty to have an oil change cause walmart will no longer do them because of some sort of plastic oil seal that they have broken several times and their boss said no more oil changes on them. While at mclarty they found a bad front left quick strut and basically accused me of hitting something and hitting it hard for it to do that much damage. I did not hit anything at all!! I feel that this damage was done to my vehicle before I bought it and I don't feel that I should have to pay for something that I didn't do and that the mechanics should have found, if in fact they did do their inspection before selling it to me. The inspection was supposedly done. Signed, very unhappy and irrate customer.

Rear window exploded and broke without any cause and I have to replace through safelite. Not due to vandalism or any other means.

My back hatch has been leaking causing my camera to mess up I do have video of it but I’ve been told many other Rogue owners have this issue.

I purchased my 2025 Nissan Rogue rock creek edition 5 months ago. The car was sitting in my driveway and the back glass shattered. I was home, no one was around. Warranty doesn't cover glass, so I had to pay out of pocket up to my $500 deductible with insurance. There were no cracks prior to this happening.

My back window shattered when it wasn’t even touched by anything.

Was driving my Nissan Rogue and the back windshield exploded. Seems to be a concurrent issue online and I wish Nissan would do anything about it.

I've only had my 2025 rock creek Rogue for 4 months. The back windshield all of a sudden shattered. I'm seeing a lot of customers complaining about the same issue. It's evident there's a defect in the glass,that's causing the glass to shatter and it needs to be addressed. I shouldn't have to come out of my pocket for a $500 deductible to pay for a windshield that's well known for having a problem. There should be a recall for this windshield. .
