Wiper Problems of Nissan Rogue - part 1

My husband and I had just cranked up our 2023 Nissan Rogue to warm up before putting our newborn in. Suddenly, it sounded like a gunshot. My husband looked back and the windshield had spontaneously shattered. Our back windshield just malfunctioned and we immediately called our Nissan dealer to report it. If we had started driving with our newborn in the back seat he could have seriously been injured. There were no warning signs or indications. Currently waiting on it to be inspected by the dealership, and insurance.

The rear window shattered without being hit by anything. We were parked in a lot and the window just shattered for no apparent reason. Window fragments are dangerous. I saw the issue online when I started to investigate if this was a one off or it happened to others. We are scheduled to visit the dealership. They indicated that they had another incident with video proof that nothing struck the rear window and it just shattered. The dealership also indicated that Nissan refused to fix it. There was no warning. Something needs to be done to cure this situation. Our vehicle is brand new - we have owned it for less than a year.

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).
