Rear window exploded when I got in and closed my driver's door.
At approximately 5:45pm on 10/01/26, my rear window/glass hatch shattered. It sounded like an explosion. I was driving approximately 10 mph in rush hour traffic and immediately looked to my right, then left and was surrounded by vehicles on each side. Nothing had fell off another vehicle (I was in the middle lane), not near a bridge or overpass. I drove 1.3 miles to a Murphy gas station and got out to assess the damage.
I was driving down the road when my rear windshield shattered after making a loud pop while I was driving down the road, and when I stopped, it shattered all over the road and inside my car.
While parked, I closed the vehicle door. The sudden cabin backpressure caused the rear windshield to instantly and violently explode outward without warning. There was no prior impact, extreme weather, or external object that caused the damage. This spontaneous shattering creates an extreme safety hazard and an immediate distraction risk.
Rear windshield shattered spontaneously. I was in a restaurant drive-through and was not moving. I heard a very loud crack/bang, sounded like a shot or a brick hit my car. There was no "hole" but the entire back windshield was shattered. Once I started driving, glass started breaking away and falling into my car. There is no current recall for this, but it's a known issue for this make/model/year.

My friend went to start my car and she heard a large boom and looked back, and my back windshield had shattered and glass on the ground and inside the car. If I had been opening or closing the trunk it would have severely injured us. Also, there was nothing that had hit it, it was sunny and in the 80 outside. I had to go to Safelight and get a covering for it, while i wait on a replacement. I contacted Nissan and they said that warranty does not cover glass and that maybe something was already wrong with it. My windshield was perfectly intact until it shattered and blew out everywhere.

The rear window completely exploded with no impact from anything. The vehicle was stationary and stopped at a stoplight when it sounded like a gunshot and the rear window completely exploded. There were cracks all over the entire rear window and the window quickly started to fall apart completely. This was dangerous because there was glass falling everywhere on the road and into the car. Now the car is open to the elements. Nissan will not cover this repair under warranty and the insurance will not pay to fix this issue without charging a deductible. Nissan dealership is charging $245 to even look at the vehicle. There is currently a class action lawsuit against Nissan for this issue with other Nissan Rogues for Nissan using glass that is too thin for the vehicle.

On January 23rd 2026, my rear window shattered while parked in the parking lot at work. I have video footage from my job’s security cameras which confirms there were no external forces involved nor, thankfully, no one was as in the vehicle at the time it occurred. This occurred while the vehicle was parked; it spontaneously shattered. The back windshield could have unexpectedly exploded while my children were in the vehicle, and the flying glass could have injured my children. The windshield has since been replaced, but there have been no issues to occur since the initial incident. At the time of the incident, I contacted the local police to file a police report. A certified Nissan dealers did inspect my windshield, and the Nissan Warranty group did not replace the windshield citing that I was over the 36,000 miles warranty (42967 miles). The service rep was helpful during the process and was even surprised that the warranty group denied the repair, since I was not far over the 36,000 miles. I had to pay out of pocket to replace my windshield and to also cover my rental for the time while I was waiting to hear back from the warranty group. I had to leave my vehicle at the dealership during this time. A total of 33 days, which was an expense I could not afford but I needed my transportation back. My insurance company did not cover any portion of the claim since it was a manufacturer failure. There were no warning, odd noises or damage to the windshield prior to it shattering. There is an active lawsuit against Nissan for not performing a recall on this defect, and it is a known defect.

On christmas day 2025 around noon my 2024 nissan rogue was parked in the garage as always. Garage temperature was about 45 f. I opened the rear hatch and heard a crackling sound. When I closed the hatch the glass exploded into a million pieces. Clearly there must have been a manufacturer defect in the glass for this to occur. Contacted dealer, they told me that this is not a recall issue nor is it covered under warranty. However, after checking with some off-site authority, they said that since the car was so new that nissan would make an exception and pay for the replacement of the glass. Later they said that since it had more than 36,000 miles they would not pay for it after all. However they did say that they would "split the cost" with me. I asked how much my share of that cost would be, and was told $480. This was the exact price quoted by safeco to come to my house and repair it on the spot. This a very common issue in the 2021-2024 nissan rogues. There is a class action suit against nissan about this issue. At least in my situation I was parked when it exploded but had I been driving that glass flying could have been a much worse situation. I just want nissan to own up to this and cover the repair. I also want to make others aware of this known problem.

While at work with my new car (I bought it the day before), I was sitting in my car and heard a pop. When I looked behind me, the whole windshield had shattered but not fallen out of the frame yet. Little by little pieces kept falling. I had it repaired that day in order to keep the vehicle functional. There were no warnings previously. I still have the receipt for the replacement window and I have pictures that show the window damage.
