Wiper Problems of Nissan Rogue - part 2

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.

No throw rock or road debris. And we were not near any overpass. Just a loud bang and the window failed. Two holes were created and the rest of the window was completely crazed.

My wife [xxx] ) was traveling in her 2024 Nissan rouge at highway speed on her way to work on 1/5/26, in southeast alabama, no defroster on, or other car in sight. 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).

On Friday 01/02/2026 in my driveway, when closing my driver side front door of my 2026 Nissan Rogue purchased in mid-December, I suddenly heard a loud pop followed by crashing like breaking glass sound. I look around and the back rear windshield had a huge hole in the center with glass falling into the car trunk. I contacted my dealership and there were no active recalls, but searching online did fine other drivers reporting this issue on social media. I plan to have the dealership inspect the damage this week and see if it is related to other active recalls for other models.

Rear windshield shattered for no reason. Came home from the store and heard popping from the back parked in driveway. Glass was shattering and by the time it finished entire window was gone.

On christmas day 2025 around noon my 2024 Nissan Rogue was parked in the garage as always. Garage temperature was about 45 f. I opened the rear hatch and heard a crackling sound. When I closed the hatch the glass exploded into a million pieces. Clearly there must have been a manufacturer defect in the glass for this to occur. Contacted dealer, they told me that this is not a recall issue nor is it covered under warranty. However, after checking with some off-site authority, they said that since the car was so new that Nissan would make an exception and pay for the replacement of the glass. Later they said that since it had more than 36,000 miles they would not pay for it after all. However they did say that they would "split the cost" with me. I asked how much my share of that cost would be, and was told $480. This was the exact price quoted by safeco to come to my house and repair it on the spot. This a very common issue in the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogues. There is a class action suit against Nissan about this issue. At least in my situation I was parked when it exploded but had I been driving that glass flying could have been a much worse situation. I just want Nissan to own up to this and cover the repair. I also want to make others aware of this known problem.
