This is a 2023 Nissan Rogue with 16,298 miles. It is parked overnight in a garage. This morning when the garage door was opened, the rear window spontaneously exploded, sending shattered glass all over the garage. The car has not been in any accidents or had any damage, and there was no significant difference in temperature between the garage and outdoors (both around 65 degrees).

I opened the trunk with the button on the dash and while the hatch was open a few minutes I heard a loud pop and realized the rear glass blew out and shards of glass came rolling down from the upper right hand side of the rear window and it had also spider cracked throughout the window. This happened at night 10:30 pm it was 42 degrees and light rain. I had just driven the truck for a half hour before and there was no warning lights or sounds prior. The vehicle was stopped and off and all that proceeded the spontaneous explosion was me opening the trunk and within 3 minutes of opening the trunk the glass exploded on its own. I never had a problem before this event and never had it checked out by the dealership or mechanic as I was unaware this was a common issue and had to find out after this happened. I had taken this car several times for several recalls but was never informed of any recalls or issues regarding the rear glass spontaneously blowing out. This is a serious issue and a safety issue and would like answers as to why this wasn't brought to my attention or part of the previous recalls even though it's been a known issue for this make and model for some time.

I had just pulled into my driveway and got out and shut the drivers side door and my back window spontaneously shattered. I read online that this has been happening with Rogues in my model year range.

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.

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.

When activating the right turn signal the windshield washers and wipers will turn on. Washers, wipers, and the turn signal all turn off when the turn signal is deactivated. This can cause some unexpected visibility issues while turning. Also, when turning the headlights from "auto" to the "off" position the windshield wipers will turn on. The wipers will stay on until you switch back to "auto". These problems are repeatable. I plan to contact the Nissan dealer to see how much a multifunction switch replacement would cost.
