I was driving in Chatham, IL at 40 mph when I heard a loud pop, like a balloon burst, then crinkling noises. The panoramic sunroof had exploded & shattered for no known reason. Numerous tiny shards of glass rained down on the backseat, which could have caused injuries if anyone were sitting in the rear seat. I was not traveling under any trees or building, it was not raining at the time, I did not hit a bump. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior. I already had an appt at the Nissan dealership for another reason & reported it to them & to State Farm Insurance, agent [XXX]. The sunroof & track was replaced and the roof re-painted by Schultz Collision Center in Springfield IL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased a 2025 Nissan Rouge Rock Creek in March. Yesterday I got in my car, shut the door and the back door window shatters. No reason what so ever. it was 70* the day before and got down to the 40s overnight. There was no damage on car prior, Its a new car. Great condition. I reported the problem to the dealer and they told me it would be $1000 to fix.they do not cover glass. I noticed online others are having the same issue going on with the 2025 rouge rock creek edition as well as other 2025 rouges. Safety is at risk to anyone in or around the car as the glass can shatter at any given moment. I contacted the dealer along with nissan corporate to put in a claim report. They are not covering the cost at this point.

I purchased a 2025 Nissan Rogue approximately two weeks ago. Three nights ago, when I left work, I opened the rear driver-side door to place my backpack inside. When I gently closed the door-?"without slamming it-?"the entire rear windshield shattered. The glass had no prior damage; I had been regularly using the rear hatch and back seat doors throughout the week with no issues. Safelite came to my home yesterday to replace the rear windshield, and during the appointment we discovered that the liftgate will not open. I attempted every method of opening it: the button on the dashboard, the key fob, the hands-free foot sensor, and even attempting to manually release it. Nothing worked. The technician advised me to take the vehicle to the dealership. Later that afternoon, I brought the vehicle to Wally-??s Nissan in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The technicians attempted the same methods I did, including trying to manually open and pry the liftgate. Despite this, the liftgate would not release, and the attempts to access it are resulting in damage to the interior of my brand-new vehicle. I am extremely unhappy with the situation and the condition in which my vehicle is being left. Based on what I have researched, it appears that a piece of shattered glass may be lodged in the latch mechanism, preventing the liftgate from opening. The dealership informed me that they do not know how to proceed and essentially sent me away without a resolution and just blaming the door actuator. At this time, I cannot have the rear windshield replaced because the liftgate cannot be opened. We are approaching winter weather, temperatures are dropping, and I commute an hour to work every day. I cannot be left with a vehicle I just purchased that has no functional liftgate and no rear window, with no guidance or support from the dealership. I am requesting immediate assistance and direction, as this situation is unacceptable. I should not be told -??there is nothing we can do-??

The sunroof on our car literally combusted on me and my wife while we were driving on the road. There was no sound of impact nor is there any sign of debris in our car. The glass simply shattered into our car spreading shards and micro glass all over the place. Again, there was no sign of debris in the car nor any sound of impact. This must be a defect especially since this seems to be particularly common with Nissan models

Spontaneous Shattering: Rear windshield shattering suddenly, often accompanied by a loud pop or bang, with no external impact, rock, or vandalism being the cause.

- Little Elm , TX, USA

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.

Our car is currently at the dealership again, (2nd time) for this particular issue that we feel is a safety issue. We are still experiencing an issue with the lift gate. It is coming down at random times, often coming down on us. The sensor always beeps (so far) so you have a very short warning before it comes down on you. However, when it comes down, it takes alot to stop it (force). Even though it meets resistance with putting up our hands to stop it, it takes quite a bit to make it halt. It has also come down with my back to the car, with no motion under the sensor (no feet under the car to trigger the sensor). I do not have a video of it however I do have someone who witnessed it. We are not sure if this is related to the other electrical issues we are having. We've been experiencing issues with it being hard to start, the complete computer screen going blank (on video) or car changes randomly the temperature and shuts down the radio randomly. We were told yesterday that they were able to duplicate the issue and acknowledged that the gate came down "hard" not fast, but does not respond quickly when coming against opposing pressure. However, today we were contacted and told that Nissan wanted them to test other cars on the lot for the same issue, and now they are telling us that those cars respond the same way ours does, (very sensitive- she did not mention anything about them coming down hard.) However, the loaner car they gave us was also a 2025 Nissan Rouge and we have NOT had that issue with it. The hatch opens and closes without issue. The computer has not malfunctioned or completely went blank. It has not been hard to start, nor has the computer malfunctioned-shutting the radio off or changing the temperature information. It was recommended that maybe to "shut off" the lift gate and raise it by hand. However, we find it a little "rich" of the dealership to even "go there" as the car is 10 months old! We would like it to be fixed.

I purchased my 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek Edition 5 months ago. The car was sitting in my driveway and the back glass shattered. I was home, no one was around. Warranty doesn't cover glass, so I had to pay out of pocket up to my $500 deductible with insurance. There were no cracks prior to this happening.

After hitting the button to close my back hatch, my boyfriend noticed that the window was cracking from the upper left corner. When nearly fully closed, the window spontaneously shattered.

I've only had my 2025 Rock Creek Rogue for 4 months. The back windshield all of a sudden shattered. I'm seeing a lot of customers complaining about the same issue. It's evident there's a defect in the glass, that's causing the glass to shatter and it needs to be addressed. I shouldn't have to come out of my pocket for a $500 deductible to pay for a windshield that's well known for having a problem. There should be a recall for this windshield..

After closing the back passenger door the whole back hatch window shattered all inside car.

- Tuckerton , NJ, USA

While driving on the highway, I pressed the rear defrost button for the first time since purchasing the car last April due to a foggy rear window. Shortly after, I noticed through the rearview mirror that the rear gate window had shattered, even though nothing had struck it. When I arrived at work and exited the car, the rear window suddenly broke apart completely, leaving a large hole as if the glass had exploded.

- East Hampton, CT, USA

The back windshield shattered in my 2025 nissan rogue. It was sitting in my driveway, I got in my driver's seat, shut the door and my back windshield shattered. I'm unable to drive it because glass keeps falling everywhere. Nissan warranty doesn't cover windows even though there are multiple incidents of this same thing happening. There is no way to prove it is a manufacturer defect. If I took it to the dealership to access the damage there would be no window left and it is unsafe to drive. The dealership doesn't even replace windows so I have to pay out of pocket to fix it. There were no cracks or chips before it happened and it is not covered in bumper to bumper warranty even though it is only 4 months old.
