Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11751879, filed 2026-07“The rear tailgate window shattered while parked in the driveway. It occurred overnight and was discovered first thing in the morning. Glass fragments were propelled several feet away from the vehicle. Our 2020 Rogue spent five years parked in the exact place without any windows shattering. Our new 2026.5 Rogue had only spent 3 months parked there when the window shattered. We brought it to the dealer who said there was no warranty on broken windows so we had it repaired on our own and our insurance covered the replacement.”
NHTSA complaint #11765615, filed 2026-09“I have a 2026 Nissan Rogue. The back window spontaneously popped and shattered. I understand there is an issue with 2025 Rogue doing this. I purchased mine in October of 2025. I was in the drivers seat and had pushed the rear hatch button to open it. It went up approximately 1/2 way and there was a loud pop , to the point my neighbors came out to see what happened. I called my dealership and they had me bring it in. They informed me there was no recall for the glass and could not cover it under warranty because they had no proof it was spontaneous. …”
NHTSA complaint #11767826, filed 2026-09“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11708672, filed 2026-01“The contact owns a 2026 Nissan Rogue.
