Recalls and investigations

1. Engine and engine cooling, engine, hard parts internal/mechanicalFeb 12, 2026

   Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.

   Engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

   Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, inspect for diagnostic trouble codes, and test drive the vehicle, free of charge. The dealer may also inspect the oil pan for metal debris, and replace the engine if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25E2 and R25E3. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 25V437.

1. Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 27, 2026

   Fuel smell in the cab of the vehicle.

2. Other or unspecified, Mar 25, 2026

   I was going about 30 mph and slowing to turn into my driveway, when my rear window exploded, I thought someone shot it out. I went to dealership and they said it's not covered by my warranty and that they have heard of this happening. So Nissan knows this is a problem yet they refuse to recall it. I've had the car 1 month, I purchased it on February 23, 2026 and this occurred on March 24, 2026. I'm also aware that there is a class action suit against them for this problem, they are trying to say it's wear and tear.

3. Other or unspecified, Mar 16, 2026

   I am reporting a premature corrosion issue on my Nissan Rogue with approximately 25,000 miles. Rust has developed on the roof panel, which is highly unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The vehicle was purchased in early December 2025. To my knowledge, this condition was not disclosed by the selling dealer, CarMax, along with other issues identified after purchase. To the best of my knowledge, the vehicle has been properly maintained and not involved in any accidents, as none were reported or disclosed. The rust appears to be developing under or through the paint, suggesting a defect in factory paint or corrosion protection. I first brought the vehicle to Mossy Nissan on February 11, 2026, and was referred to their body shop, which completed a report on February 12, 2026. However, the dealership did not submit the claim to Nissan until March 4, 2026, causing a delay. After submission, I was contacted about a week later for mileage. Despite multiple follow-ups from me, there was no timely response. I was asked again to bring the vehicle for inspection, which I did promptly. After these delays, I was informed the claim was denied without a satisfactory explanation. Given the roof location and the vehicle’s condition, this raises concerns about a possible manufacturing defect and the claims process. Premature corrosion may affect long-term integrity and value. I request this be investigated as a defect in materials or workmanship and that Nissan provide an appropriate repair. I also request review of whether this condition should have been disclosed at the time of sale.

4. Other or unspecified, Mar 13, 2026

   Back windshield shattered for no reason.

5. Other or unspecified, Mar 12, 2026

   While operating my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the panoramic sunroof exploded outward without any external impact. The incident occurred under normal driving conditions with no debris strike, collision, or environmental hazard. The explosion produced a loud sound consistent with owner reports in past Nissan sunroof cases, often described as similar to a "gunshot." The Glass front the sunroof rained down on myself, my wife, and our child. A Police report was taken of the incident as well as an insurance claim. This incident could have resulted in serious physical harm to myself, my passenger, and or other motorist had the glass gotten into my eyes as being the driver and possibly losing control of the vehicle and possibly hitting another motorist. This also could have caused injury to the passengers' eyes as glass was flying into the vehicle with the air from the outside was rushing into the vehicle.

6. Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Mar 9, 2026

   While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue (approximately 51,000 miles), the vehicle completely lost all electrical power twice. The first incident occurred on Wednesday while stopped at a traffic light, and the second occurred on Friday afternoon after parking the vehicle; in the second instance, it would not start and had to be towed to the dealership. Prior to the failures, the vehicle displayed CVT Malfunction and MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) warnings, which the dealership was made aware of. When the vehicle was brought to the dealership (Keating Nissan), they identified a fatigued negative battery terminal and cable assembly as the cause. They performed a temporary adjustment, but stated that the repair is not permanent and may require replacement. Only days before these incidents, the dealership performed a multi-point inspection where the battery was marked as passing inspection. Because the vehicle lost all power while driving, this was a serious safety concern, putting me, passengers, and others on the road at risk. The vehicle can be inspected by the dealership upon request. I do not feel confident that the root issue has been permanently resolved, and I am concerned given the age and mileage of the vehicle that such a failure occurred so early. I would appreciate assistance reviewing this situation, confirming the appropriate permanent repair, and advising on options for support given the safety concern.

7. Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Mar 4, 2026

   On Friday my car wouldn’t start. I put in a request for AAA to come out and do a battery test. The technician comes out and hooks up my battery to the portable box and it still didn’t have the power to crank the car. The car turned on and was clicking it didn’t have enough power to actually start the car. My dad came and gave me a jump saturday morning, and said he thinks I needed a new battery. I drove to advanced auto by my house had them perform a battery test and the told me the battery was complete shot. I had to spend $300 on a new battery. After I left there and got onto rt 70, The thermostat in the corner of the dash, the needle started moving up more towards the hot once I accelerated to 50 mph. The way home was a night mare as the car started to lose power, check engine light came on then the check oil light. At this point my car is jerking across the intersection where I had to put on my hazards and barely made it home. It’s weird this all happened within a day and so sudden. I got notification about the recalls and was thinking this is all related. Monday morning 3/3 I get the car towed to Nissan on rt 37, where the told me I needed a engine but not due from the recall. the recall was for oil temp and the car has a coolant leak that leaked on the engine and I would have to pay out of pocket. I asked for the report they haven’t sent anything over yet. I bought that car from carvana last march on the 17th, so it hasn’t been a year and they told me i’m out of my warranty’s at 71 thousand miles. I feel so defeated as i’m paying 500 a month for this is car and haven’t had it for a year. I’m reaching out to file a complaint or to see if there’s anything I can do on my end. with the coolant leak, I’ve never had any issues with the car prior as it drove regularly and never saw any residue on the ground. Nissan representative said she’s working with her manager to see if they can do a good will.

   I was driving my vehicle after dropping my son off at school and my back windshield exploded without warning. I was unsure what to do and there was nowhere to pull over. I drove home and called my local Nissan dealer who I was leasing the vehicle from and they said the repair would not be covered. I used a local windshield replacement company and paid out of pocket to have the windshield replaced.

   On, January 16, 2026, the rear windshield spontaneously exploded as we were entering our vehicle

    While driving on the highway the sunroof exploded

11. Other or unspecified, Feb 23, 2026

    Upon entering the vehicle and shutting the driver side door to drive home the back windshield imploded without any warning. The hatch was not used that day and with the shutting of the drivers side door the rear windshield made a popping noise and caved in completely on itself all over the back of my vehicle before the vehicle was even turned on. There were no previous cracks, no signs of wear and the vehicle was only a year old bought brand new. We are currently over the miles on the warranty (barely) and Nissan Corporate advised to take it to a local dealership and the local dealership told me I had to call corporate. No one could explain why this would or could happen to the vehicle. The weather was not frigid nor hot at the time of this event. Nissan is not taking responsibility for a faulty product even after I addressed the current class action lawsuit other Nissan Rogue owners have put up against them for the same issue. Luckily my toddler son was not in the vehicle at the time that this happened in his carseat or he would have ended up with the potential of shatter glass landing on him. Additionally if I was driving at the time that is a huge risk of distraction, crashing, and the mess of debris. There is was no warning, no previous damage, and nothing that anyone has offered to do to help. The quote to get the rear windshield replaced will have to be paid completely out of pocket. I suspect that due to mass producing these vehicles they did not take the time to make sure proper safety measure have taken place. Time stamped photos and a case with Nissan Corporate have been put into place.

    While I was leaving a restaurant my back windshield spontaneously shattered in the middle of me driving it, I had the front and back heat on at the time it’s shattered, I am a first-time driver at the age of [XXX] , and I was extremely terrifying for my safety and other drivers safety while I drove my vehicle after the glass shattered out of nowhere due to no fault of my own, was worried about glass being thrown around in the vehicle, but got the vehicle home safely, I am now responsible for paying out-of-pocket for Safelite to replace this back windshield, there were no warning signs it just shattered on its own! Then I found that there was a class action suit against Nissan rogue 2021-2025 saying that the back windshields are defective.

    EGR valve and oil leaking The malfunction light came on and the car reduced power and almost killed me on the highway in Dallas Tx! Yes has been confirmed by trophy Nissan in Mesquite! I have also had to replace motor mount transmission mount torque strut mount the turbo hose! I have seen like 50 people have the same problem and saying they paid over $2000 to fix and car still breaks down! I will be contacting a lawyer! Every 2023 rogue with all these same problems need to be taken out of service and we need to be compensated! It should be illegal for a business to sell “new” cars that are unsafe with this many problems! It isn’t right for my first time going to a car dealership to buy a reliable car because I drive out of town for work and get a piece of crap car!! I could have bought a cash car and these same problems!!! Ughhhhh

I contacted my dealer they had me bring it in, they said they fixed it. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs because the warning light was still coming on. They told me that it doesn't affect the performance of my vehicle & doesn't cause a safety issue. The light is still coming on.

    While driving on the interstate there was a loud explosion, like gunfire, and the sunroof exploded.We had just gotten on the interstate and was going between 55-60 mph.

25. Other or unspecified, Dec 22, 2025

    The rear window exploded out of no where on my 2023 Nissan Rogue. It was parked, I was outside when this happened. No vehicles or other people around, window just exploded. Glass and weatherstripping were blown across the parking lot. Nissan consumer affairs state they will do an investigation and they may or may not help. Once this happened I see many other Nissan owners experience this same thing! Extended warranty will not cover this... As I sit here 3 days before Christmas, travel plans ruined, and the uncertainty of a thousand dollar fix hanging over my head. This is definitely a manufacturing defect, and this should be covered at no cost! A recall also needs to be issued! I'm just grateful I was not driving down the road when this happened, as I see other Nissan owners had this happen to them.
