2023 Nissan Rogue visibility/wiper problems

“I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the rear hatch glass of my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV. The vehicle was purchased brand-new on January 27, 2024, and currently has around 25,000 miles. The vehicle had been parked and stationary for at least 20 hours when I discovered that the rear hatch glass had spontaneously shattered upon closing the side passenger door. There was no known impact, collision, or other external event that would explain the glass failure. I am concerned that this may indicate a defect in the rear glass, its installation, or an associated component. If this occurred while driving or while my children were present in the car, it could present a significant safety hazard. I am requesting that NHTSA document this incident and evaluate it alongside similar complaints involving the 2023 Nissan Rogue.”

“I went inside of the church for a service and parked my car in the parking lot. When I returned to my vehicle and found the rear window was broken. Nothing fell on the vehicle. There was no impact to the rear of the vehicle. There was nothing used to break the rear window.”

“The hatchback window exp!oded into the vehicle. The vehicle had been setting under a carport all night and my wife got in the car and when she closed the door the hatch window shattered. She took it to the dealer and was told it was an insurance problem. She stopped by our agent but they were already closed. Meanwhile I had been researching this problem and found out this seemed to be a problem with 2021-2025 Nissan Rouges. My wife took the car back to the dealership and told them it was their problem. The dealership has the car now to replace the window.”

“This is a 2023 Nissan Rogue with 16,298 miles. It is parked overnight in a garage. This morning when the garage door was opened, the rear window spontaneously exploded, sending shattered glass all over the garage. The car has not been in any accidents or had any damage, and there was no significant difference in temperature between the garage and outdoors (both around 65 degrees).”

“I opened the trunk with the button on the dash and while the hatch was open a few minutes i heard a loud pop and realized the rear glass blew out and shards of glass came rolling down from the upper right hand side of the rear window and it had also spider cracked throughout the window. This happened at night 10:30 pm it was 42 degrees and light rain. I had just driven the truck for a half hour before and there was no warning lights or sounds prior. The vehicle was stopped and off and all that proceeded the spontaneous explosion was me opening the trunk and within 3 minutes of opening the trunk the glass exploded on its own. I never had a problem before this event and never had it checked out by the dealership or mechanic as I was unaware this was a common issue and had to find out after this happened. I had taken this car several times for several recalls but was never informed of any recalls or issues regarding the rear glass spontaneously blowing out. This is a serious issue and a safety issue and would like answers as to why this wasn't brought to my attention or part of the previous recalls even though it's been a known issue for this make and model for some time.”

“The rear windshield on my Nissan Rogue shattered suddenly without any impact while the vehicle was parked. The glass appeared to explode outward. I later discovered other owners have reported similar issues with Rogue rear windshields shattering unexpectedly. I had to replace the glass immediately for safety and paid out of pocket for the repair. I am concerned this may be related to a defect in the rear glass.”
