“The panoramic moonroof on my car spontaneously shattered while I was driving on 10/8/2020. It was about 2:00 pm on i4 in florida, and driving at hightway speeds. There were no other vehicles near me at the time. No rocks, or overpasses, etc that could have dropped a rock. It is the large, rear panel.”

“I have been noticing water accumulation under the drivers side seat and also fogging on the windshield in front of the drivers side. This is all happening during summers. I have removed more than a gallon water already and it keeps coming back I think.”

“I purchased my car brand new in march 2018. It has less than 7700 miles on it. On july 30, 2018, I was at a red light (completely stopped) on a dry city street, with my foot on the brake, when my car suddenly lunged forward into the vehicle in front of mine. Despite my foot remaining on the brake, the engine continued to rev until I took my foot off the brake and reapplied. I purchased the safety package for my car, and not only did the brakes fail, but the safety package, that is supposed to prevent a collision, also failed.”

“Panoramic sunroof exploded and shattered traveling down a unoccupied county road. Road was clear, no trees, traffic, on sunny day. Reported to Nissan USA with its glass answer. Car was bought new, never wrecked, under cover when not driven. Driven around 50mph.”

“In 2017 Nissan Rogue there is corrosion/rust at the connection between the lift gate support strut bracket and vehicle body. The rear lift gate strut provides power to assist rear lift gate mechanism and operates under pressure. If the interface is insufficient or the structure is compromised due to rust it may cause failure of the lift mechanism. It could result in inability to open or close the lift gate but more importantly result in bodily injury. I have been in contact with Nissan to report the issue and guidance to remedy the issue. …”
