Visibility/wiper

50 reports
“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.”

“The front and back collision warning system lights are on indicating that they are not working, this is a Nissan 2025 rouge sv, they turned on when accelerating from stop and now I have lost my turbo pressure (won't go over 0), and when in park it revs up and down without my input. ACCELERATING FROM STOP TURNS CAR INTO LIMP MODE”

“On XXX, I rented this 2025 Nissan Rogue via Turo (reservation #XXX) from Corona Nissan dealership, [XXX] (vehicle titled to OKDAK INC at the same address). Within approximately two hours of pickup, dashboard malfunction warning lights began turning on and off. On XXX, a Nissan technician at Lithia Nissan of Downtown Los Angeles (invoice #XXX) test-drove the vehicle about 2 miles, confirmed the malfunction lights cycling, and on inspection found the lane camera mounting bracket broken and glued on. The technician documented that the vehicle is not safe to drive. No crash or injury occurred because I stopped driving it and had it towed/returned via roadside services. Component: lane camera / forward safety systems / electrical system.”

Electrical system

“The contact leased a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that upon pushing the button to open the hatch, the hatch would automatically come down once a person moved from under the liftgate. A beeping noise would emit from the hatch as it's coming down which resulted in the contact being hit on her head. The contact stated that failure occured while she was assisting a client who was legally blind. The contact stated that she felt dizzy immediately after incident and sat down in the vehicle to regain composure. As the contact dropped off her client, she informed them of what happened and was informed that there was a bump on the back of her head. The contact iced the bump on the back of her head and sustained a headache due to the failure. The contact did not seek medical attention. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the mechanic experienced the failure first hand upon inspection of the vehicle. The mechanic could not diagnose the cause of the failure and could not repair the vehicle. The contact later received a text message from the dealer that informed her that there was a recall(recall unknown) on the vehicle to address the failure; however,…”
