On Thursday November 13th, 2025, I drove to work like I do every day. When I got to work and parked, the REAR windshield cracked all on its own. It was not freezing, nor were there any large temperature swings to cause this. Today (Wed Nov 19th, 2025) the Safelite repair man came to replace it. He stated that he sees this quite often with the Nissan Rogue. I called Nissan and they said that they never have heard of this (as i would expect them to say). I would like this investigated as there was nothing done to cause this - no rocks, etc.

My car was sitting in my driveway earlier, no trees around, or no one outside. I had walked past the house door and my rear window was busted. We contacted Nissan and they said because there is not a recall, there is nothing they can do.

Owner of 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek. On 11/03/2025 3pm temperature 45-47 degrees. Car was parked and all of a sudden rear window exploded. I called the dealer and told them they said they had nothing on recalls of defect. I did make a claim with my insurance Geico and did report it to Nissan also Case# 55966563. Upon online research there is multiples of incidents with the sale exploding issue on various years but all same model: Rogue.

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.

Enterprise Rental: Back window shattered spontaneously. Car WAS NOT IN MOTION, it was parked.
- Oklahoma City, OK, USA
On a cool morning (~53?F), I drove approximately 6.4 miles each way (about 12-?"13 miles total) to and from school with the rear defroster on to clear condensation. After returning home and parking, I heard a loud pop and saw that the entire rear hatch window was shattered. I called my husband outside, and we documented the damage with photos and video. When I closed the door, the shattered glass collapsed inward into the cargo area, with shards also scattered across the driveway. There was no external strike point, debris, or prior damage to the glass. The breakage was spontaneous and created a safety hazard by leaving sharp tempered fragments inside the vehicle and an open rear hatch. Other 2025 Rogue owners have reported the same failure, suggesting a recurring defect.

My back rear window basically shattered while it was just sitting. There was nothing that hit it. I had just driven it to. work and had the rear defrost on while I was driving. A little while after I arrived at work the window just sounded like it exploded.

After my car being parked for 5 hours I opened my car door and before even shutting my door and starting my car my rear view windshield shattered to pieces, no forced trauma, literal shatter.
- Monroe Township , NJ, USA
The vehicle had been parked for 10 hours while I was at work. I got in the vehicle and shut the door and the back glass shattered. I had security pull up the camera footage of the area my vehicle was parked and no one tampered with it.

The rear window shattered spontaneously with explosive force and sound while I was driving and parking it in the subsurface garage of my condominium complex, with my wife as a passenger. I can only surmise that substandard safety glass, combined with unusually high outside temperatures and extremely effective interior air conditioning was involved in the physics of the explosion. The incident was unprecedented in my 67 years of driving. The incident was preceded by intermittent and inexplicable hissing sounds for several miles before I entered my parking garage and parked the vehicle. No external projectile or impact was involved.

Went to leave the house and noticed the rear windshield was shattered. Holes on either side of the windshield. With glass on the outside of the vehicle, as if the windshield had exploded outward.
