What 169 owners told NHTSA about the 2025 Nissan Rogue Select

On January 22, 2026, my husband and i were sitting in the parked vehicle, which was rented from Thrifty Rental, and the rear window spontaneously exploded into a million pieces. We have since learned that there is a Federal lawsuit and hundreds of complaints against Nissan for this exact issue. We consider ourselves lucky that the car was not moving as there could have been bodily injury or an accident.

On 12/5/25 my rear window just shattered right after the back hatch closed! I had it repaired myself because Matt Black Nissan said it wasn’t covered by my warranty. I paid Safelite $508.94 for the repair. I still had to take it to a dealer because there was some glass pieces left in the door and it was causing my locks to lock and unlock continuously. While I was waiting for my Rogue to be fixed I was talking to a man waiting for his vehicle and he told me this is happening to other vehicles where the back window just shatters. I did go online after this and have seen multiple other complaints about this issue. They need to recall this back hatch and fix the issue.

I now hear glass shards sliding around in my rear hatch door and yesterday the lock wouldn't open properly for multiple attempts , finally opened.

Rear window I started the vehicle, and almost immediately the rear window shattered. I had driven the vehicle earlier that day to work, and used the rear window defrost, which I manually turned off after about 5 minutes and the rear windshield was fine. I Parked the car in the parking lot at about 10:15 AM at work, and returned at a little after 7 PM at which time I started the car to leave, and the window shattered. I immediately inspected the window,,the back compartment and the surrounding area at the back of the vehicle to see if something had hit the window, there was nothing there. There was no warning lights, the temperature was in the 70's (I live in Florida) and I saw no type of external element that caused the window to break. My insurance had the rear window replaced, the glass technician said it possibly had something to do with the heating element that could have made the glass implode.

On November 18, 2025, I switched on my rear window defogger. 15 minutes later I drove the vehicle into my garage, switched the defogger off, and turned the engine off. The following morning I entered the vehicle. When I closed the driver's side door gently, I heard a very loud noise. I looked into my rear-view mirror and saw that the rear window had shattered completely. A few days later I had the window replaced by Safelite. On Dec. 29, 2025 the rear window was inspected by Premier Nissan in Uniontown, Pa. (15401). This spontaneous incident could have had serious implications if there had been rear seat passengers. I believe that a defect exists with the rear window design or factory installation. Therefore, a re-call is advisable.
