Owners of the 2025 Nissan Rogue are reporting incidents of rear window glass breaking without warning. Complaints describe situations where the back glass shattered immediately after closing a door or hatch, while parked, or during normal driving.
Many reports indicate that the glass failure occurred at low mileage and without any visible impact from outside objects.
Why Are Rogue Rear Windshield Exploding?
Drivers have reported a consistent set of issues, including:
Rear window shattering after closing a door or hatch
Glass breaking while the vehicle was parked
A loud pop or cracking sound followed by total glass failure
Possible connection to the rear defroster
Glass fragments scattered inside the vehicle
In several cases, owners stated that temperature and weather conditions were normal. Some noted that the break appeared to start from the edges of the glass. The pattern of reports suggests a potential defect in the rear window assembly or installation process.
