While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the sunroof glass suddenly shattered/exploded while the vehicle was in motion. I was driving at a low speed and did not see or hear any object impact the glass before it shattered. There was no known collision or incident immediately before the glass broke. The sunroof glass shattered and fell into the vehicle. I am reporting this because I am concerned that the sunroof glass may have failed unexpectedly while the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle has approximately 22,000 miles.

While driving at highway speeds, the panoramic sunroof glass spontaneously exploded without any prior warning, impact, or rock strikes. The sudden, loud explosion caused severe driver distraction and panic, creating an immediate safety hazard on the highway. Additionally, shattered glass fragments fell onto the interior sunshade, posing a significant risk of lacerations to the occupants. The vehicle was immediately taken to an authorized Nissan dealership, where service technicians inspected the roof and found no evidence of external impact. A warranty case was opened with Nissan Corporate. The vehicle is currently sitting at my local Nissan dealership and is fully available for inspection. The dealer has taken photos (again) and submitted them to the manufacturer. However, the vehicle has been sitting for weeks without a repair timeline, and the dealer is refusing to provide a warranty loaner vehicle while waiting for Nissan Corporate to approve the claim. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms before this sudden structural failure.

If the shade hadn’t been closed, we would have had glass rain down on our heads. I am contacting my insurance carrier today. There was no warning this would happen. The temperature at the time of incident was 52 degrees.

I was sitting in stopped traffic when the incident occurred. My sunroof was open at the time. Without any warning or external impact, I heard a sudden loud “boom,” and the sunroof glass shattered. Glass fragments dispersed throughout the vehicle, and the lower portion of the sunroof appeared to have exploded. There were no objects, debris, or other vehicles that made contact with my car. The failure appeared to be spontaneous. Vehicle Information: Year: 2023 Make: Nissan Model: Rogue Conditions at Time of Incident: Speed: 0 mph (stopped traffic) Weather: Clear blue skies, sunny, approximately 84°F Safety Concern: This incident created a significant safety hazard. The sudden explosion of glass without warning could have caused injury to occupants or led to a loss of vehicle control if the vehicle had been in motion. I am aware that there have been other consumer reports of sunroof glass shattering unexpectedly in similar vehicles across the industry, including reports involving Nissan Rogue models. This raises concern about a potential defect in the sunroof glass or installation.

The sliding portion of the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered with an explosive sound and force without provocation or impact damage occurring. We were driving at 5-10 MPH through our apartment complex, but it would have been more dangerous had we been driving at a higher rate of speed on a street or highway. My husband suffered some light scratches on his left arm, but no other injuries thank goodness. We immediately drove the vehicle to Pinnacle Nissan, but they denied assistance and coverage as well as Nissan Consumer Affairs. Repair is pending through auto insurance through 3rd party vendor Blue Chip glass, so it won't be available for inspection after this week once repaired, but I have photos.
