After multiple issues with the motor of my new Rogue, my windshield spontaneously shattered this week. I'm glad I was not driving the vehicle when it occurred because apparently it sounded like a shotgun when it ruptured. This is a major issue apparently for many Rogue owners. My concern is what else might be wrong with the vehicle - not a safe vehicle for sure. If you're a mom and driving with little kiddos - please find a safer vehicle! Nissan is repairing the windshield and is trying to offer to trade the vehicle - which is a sign that they are aware of this problem among Rogues.

NHTSA complaint #11758329 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
My hood flew open while I was driving and my vision was impaired, the hood latch is defective. There should be a safety on the hood if the button gets hit and you forget and drive off the latch should hold the lid down.

I drove my car home and parked it in front of my neighbors house. It was on Sunday, August 2, 2026. About 3.5 hours later I went to move my car, and noticed that the window was shattered, with a hole on the bottom right and a hole on the bottom left. There was glass on the road and inside my vehicle. There were no rocks or object in the back of my car that would of caused that. My neighbor has a Ring Camera, and you could see me park my car at approximately 4:45, and around 8:00 PM you can see my father walking up to their door to ask if they heard or seen anything. There ring camera showed no one around the car from the time I parked it and until we noticed that it was shattered.

I was driving down the road alte at night on a completely empty road. All of a sudden I heard what sounded like a gun shot hitting glass. I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed my rear windshield was completely shattered. There was no rhyme or reason for it to happen. Just out of nowhere.
NHTSA complaint #11754119 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
My friend went to start my car and she heard a large boom and looked back, and my back windshield had shattered and glass on the ground and inside the car. If I had been opening or closing the trunk it would have severely injured us. Also, there was nothing that had hit it, it was sunny and in the 80 outside. I had to go to Safelight and get a covering for it, while i wait on a replacement. I contacted Nissan and they said that warranty does not cover glass and that maybe something was already wrong with it. My windshield was perfectly intact until it shattered and blew out everywhere.

NHTSA complaint #11751760 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
The vehicle was completely stationary at a red light when the rear windshield suddenly and spontaneously exploded with a loud gunshot-like sound. There was no road debris, no preceding or surrounding vehicles, and absolutely no external impact. The Nissan dealership wrongfully refused to cover this under the new vehicle limited warranty, claiming it was external damage, despite the lack of any impact point. Due to safety urgency, I had to replace the glass through a third-party shop via my auto insurance. This is a severe product quality and safety defect regarding the rear defroster and tempered glass, which is already subject to federal class-action lawsuits for Nissan Rogues. The glass shards could have caused severe injuries.
