Just sat in my car for about 2 minutes and the back window just broke. Sounded like a pop glass on the ground and my trunk. It is in the shop now to be fixed no lights came on to warn me. So glad this didn’t happen while I was driving with my grandkids!!.

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.

Passenger side door lock became unresponsive to the vehicle's key fob, and any attempt to open the passenger side door triggered the alarm system. Shortly afterward, the horn began sounding at random while the vehicle was started and being driven.

Throttle body failed, throwing code p1226.

Rear glass exploded over night as vehicle was parked.

I own a 2025 Nissan Rogue, and the rear windshield shattered suddenly without any impact, collision, or contact with an object. This was not caused by an accident or misuse on my part. My insurance company is only offering coverage if I meet the deductible, but the repair cost is below that amount, which leaves me responsible for the full out-of-pocket expense. On top of that, I am being told my premium may increase if I file the repair through them, which is difficult to understand given that this was a spontaneous defect, not an at-fault incident. Other Nissan Rogue drivers have reported the same issue, which suggests this may be a known problem and should be treated as such.

Driver door lock function not working properly. Door will not unlock using the push button or key fob function. Sometimes I have to open driver door through the back passenger door or getting in through the passenger door. While inside, driver door will not unlock and have to unlock door by rolling window down and opening from outside. Sometimes the door stays locked, door latch stays locked and causes door to not close.

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.

The light component above the dash completely just fell out while I was on the highway, hanging by wires and obscuring my vision. Also there is a bluetooth audio issue where no one can hear me when my phone is connected via bluetooth or wired.

Confirmed transfer case broken by independent auto technician. , no warning lamps detected.

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.

My vehicle was parked in the parking lot at my job and the back window shattered out of no where.

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

I am requesting that the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) investigate a potential defect affecting 2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles involving the sunroof drainage system. My vehicle has experienced repeated issues with the sunroof drain becoming clogged, which causes water to leak into the interior of the vehicle. When the drainage system becomes blocked, water enters the cabin and can soak the headliner, carpeting, electrical components, and other interior areas. This creates the potential for mold growth, electrical malfunctions, visibility issues, and other safety concerns. After researching this problem online, I discovered that many other 2017 Nissan Rogue owners have reported similar complaints involving clogged sunroof drains and water intrusion. The number of reported incidents suggests this may be a widespread design or manufacturing issue rather than normal wear and tear. I believe this condition presents a safety risk because water can damage electrical systems, airbags, sensors, and other critical vehicle components. Owners should not be expected to repeatedly repair a drainage system that appears prone to clogging and causing interior water damage. I respectfully request that NHTSA review consumer complaints regarding this issue and determine whether an investigation and potential recall of affected 2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles is warranted. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Then rear hatch glass exploded. All glass was outside the vehicle. My Rogue was in my driveway. I drove it at 11 am it sat from 12 till 5:30 pm when we heard the explosion. Very scary. It could have hurt so many people. No notice on my dash for any failure. This was reported to Nissan. No warranty. It's at my cost to replace.

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 closed the passenger door on my car and the rear window disintegrated.

Anytime the ac is on for longer than 10 min, it leaks water down the driver side panel onto the floor mats.

My driver side floor mats are soaked with water. While running the ac, water drips from the driver's side console onto the floor.

The radiator fans in the Nissan Rogues are faulty. The ac stops working and then the car overheats causing loss of fluid and white smoke coming out from underneath the hood. The engine light didn't even come on to warn us that the car was overheating.

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.

Radiator fan leading to engine overheating, fan fails to turn on causing high engine temperatures & ac failure. Nissan is aware of issues & takes no responsibility. Early on when vehicle experienced symptoms & under warranty, I brought vehicle in several times & was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. Since warranty has expired, we’ve had to fix once & now it’s happening again. Some symptoms: loud rattling in engine bay, ac blows hot air while idling & low speeds, engine overheating & stalling.

Incident date: 04/05/2026 vehicle speed: 65–70 mph location: [xxx] component: engine / power train / fuel system summary of safety defect: while traveling at highway speeds (65–70 mph) with four passengers (including two children), the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic engine failure without any prior warning or symptomatic noise. The malfunction indicator light (mil) began flashing rapidly, immediately followed by a total loss of motive power. Despite throttle input, the vehicle failed to maintain speed or accelerate, creating an immediate hazard in high-speed traffic. Hazardous conditions encountered: upon the loss of power, I observed white smoke trailing from the exhaust and a strong burning odor entering the cabin from the engine compartment. To avoid a high-speed rear-end collision, I was forced to perform an emergency maneuver across active lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder. Due to the immediate fear of a vehicle fire (indicated by the smoke and burning smell), my family was forced to evacuate the vehicle and wait outside in a remote location for six hours. Correlation to known defects: this incident appears to be a direct manifestation of the defect described in Nissan recall id r25e3/r25e4 / NHTSA id 26v0801 regarding engine main bearing seizure. The failure resulted in a complete loss of propulsion and a potential fire risk due to fluid ignition or a breached engine block. Post-incident status: the vehicle was towed to Nissan of cumming and is currently awaiting a formal inspection for internal metal debris. The failure of this critical component under highway conditions posed a life-threatening risk to my family and other motorists. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.

I am reporting a safety defect involving my 2022 Nissan Rogue related to NHTSA recall 25v437 (engine bearing failure). Prior to complete engine failure, I experienced multiple instances of sudden loss of power while driving at highway speeds, creating a serious safety hazard. In one instance, this nearly resulted in a multi-vehicle accident in heavy traffic. The vehicle also exhibited additional symptoms consistent with the recall, including engine shaking, knocking noises, rough riding and hard shifting, burning smell, and warning lights. Nissan performed the recall service, which consisted of reprogramming the engine control module (ecm). However, this software update did not repair or replace the defective engine components. The vehicle’s condition worsened after the recall service. The engine ultimately failed completely at approximately 122,000 miles, shortly after the recall repair was completed. This indicates that the recall remedy is ineffective and does not adequately address the safety risk, as a software update cannot prevent or correct pre-existing mechanical failure of engine bearings. I am concerned that other vehicles with this defect remain at risk of sudden power loss and potential crashes despite having the recall performed.

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.

Unknown: assessment - on April 2nd early morning around 5 am, I left kaaawa, hi zip code 96730 and headed to kaneohe, zip code 96744. When I left home the temperature was around 67degree f and there was a light rain. About 15 minutes later at the hygenic store, the temperature dropped to around 64. The front windshield began to fog; I turned on the window defrost vent set at 70degree. I heard a lot pop/crack coming from the passenger side, lower frame area of the windshield. When I glanced, I did not see anything at the time. When this happened, there were no other cars in front of me. Later at home, I checked again, did not see anything. Two days later, I got into the car and there was a crack from the lower frame moving up the glass about 7 inches. As the days went by the crack got longer. I did not see a point of impact. As far as I could tell, the crack started from the frame. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos. I contacted patrick at windward Nissan dealership parts department directly (his personal cell phone); he told me to utilize ace auto glass. There was no inspection by dealership or insurance. Utilized safelite for replacement. There was no warning of any failure by cars system.
