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.

On Dec 3, 2025,I drove my 2025 Nissan Rogue to my workplace as usual. It is new vehicle with about 2000 miles on it. The vehicle was parked in the employee parking lot, which is an open, uncovered area but not a location where projectiles or falling objects are present. The car remained stationary in this parking area until the incident occurred. When I returned to the vehicle, I closed the front driver-side door normally, using the same routine pressure I use every day. Immediately upon closing the door, the rear liftgate glass suddenly shattered without warning. The entire rear windshield broke into pieces at that moment. Most of the broken glass fell outside the vehicle, and the remaining fragments were found around the liftgate area. There was no evidence of any impact, no prior cracks or chips, and no external object struck the vehicle. The shattering occurred instantaneously and solely due to the act of closing the front door, which should not cause a rear windshield to fail. This appears to be a spontaneous structural failure of the rear glass, with no external cause. It could be a hazard to the people inside the car as well as outside. I reported that to Nissan who said that they were unaware of the issue. However this is widely known on even Google that the glass of 2024 and 2025 Nissan breaks spontaneously

The rear windshield shattered while driving. I was driving car in the evening at 30 mph, heard a “pop” and the back window glass cracked in to tiny pieces. Once I pulled over to examine the damage the center of the glass fell out of the window completely. The dealer states it is not a defect, but there are several accounts online of the same thing happening to other Nissans. I see no other damage that makes me think something hit the window and the glass did not spider from one spot out, it just cracked in to tiny pieces. An insurance claim has been made, but no official inspection has been done. No warning signs/lamps were on at the time of the incident.
Steering, Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Dec 2, 2025, crash
I was using the snow mode because there was a little bit of snow and ice on the road. I had been driving it that morning and did not have a problem until I turned in to my street. I turned right and the steering and brakes and accelerator all locked, leaving me where my car slid across the road and the left drivers side tire ran over the curb. I was not able to correct anything as everything locked. Even though I am okay and was going less than 5 mph while turning. I feel like the whole car's function to lock is unsafe as it left me to hope the curb would stop it. The car had to get towed and is now in the shop with $4,000 of damage to that tire and tire rods which I feel like could not have been prevented considering everything was locked and did not allow me to correct properly.

Electrical system, Engine, Nov 30, 2025, fire
On November 17, my 2025 Nissan Rogue caught fire after my hour commute to work. During my commute, there were no warning signs on the dash for the entire duration. Got to the office, parked the vehicle, and within a few minutes a coworker called me to let me know the car was up in flames. The fire quickly intensified and got hot enough to melt the hood, and made its way into the interior after it shattered the windshield. The fire started in the engine compartment, near the battery. The insurance company has a fire investigator attempting to determine the cause of the fire. The car had approximately 12,000 miles.

My 2025 nissan rogue rockcreek back windshield randomly exploded and shattered while driving down the road. There was no impact by anything and nothing hit it. There was a cold snap and I was using the defrost and had just turned it off when it shattered. Looked it up and this appears to be happening to many other owners as well. It appears to be some sort of defect. There was an issue with Hondas last year the same thing happening and it had something to do with the defrost elements coming in contact with the rear windshield. I believe this is a similar defect and needs to be fixed. I had to pay out of pocket to fix this because the dealer said replacement windshields were on back order.

Visibility/wiper, Nov 26, 2025
My back windshield exploded while it was parked in my office’s lot. The glass completely shattered for no apparent reason. I had to drive my vehicle with glass still connected but about to fall out. I went to the dealership and shut the door, and it all fell out. I have seen hundreds of online posts with the same thing happening to other Nissan Rogues, and the dealership is saying they aren’t going to cover it and claim they have never heard of the issue. There were no warning signs that this was going to happen.

I was driving in Chatham, IL at 40 mph when I heard a loud pop, like a balloon burst, then crinkling noises. The panoramic sunroof had exploded & shattered for no known reason. Numerous tiny shards of glass rained down on the backseat, which could have caused injuries if anyone were sitting in the rear seat. I was not traveling under any trees or building, it was not raining at the time, I did not hit a bump. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior. I already had an appt at the Nissan dealership for another reason & reported it to them & to State Farm Insurance, agent [XXX] . The sunroof & track was replaced and the roof re-painted by Schultz Collision Center in Springfield IL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving from Church on Sunday Nov 16,2025 at approximately 10:30 AM, in Pflugerville Texas, the rear window suddenly shattered. No visible signs of objects hitting the window prior to the event. The car had 5700 miles on it, 2025 Nissan Rogue.
Seats, Nov 19, 2025
The driver seat in the 2025 Nissan Rogue is extremely narrow and places excessive pressure on my left hip, causing bruising, severe discomfort, and lower back pain after short driving periods. The seat forces my body into an unnatural posture that affects my ability to sit upright and operate the vehicle safely. After I reported the issue to the dealership, I was told to “keep driving until the seat flattens out” or “have a heavy-set person sit in the seat,” which are not safe or reasonable solutions. The seat design is causing physical injury and makes safe driving difficult.

On Thursday November 13th, 2025, I drove to work like I do every day. When I got to work and parked, the REAR windshield cracked all on its own. It was not freezing, nor were there any large temperature swings to cause this. Today (Wed Nov 19th, 2025) the Safelite repair man came to replace it. He stated that he sees this quite often with the Nissan Rogue. I called Nissan and they said that they never have heard of this (as i would expect them to say). I would like this investigated as there was nothing done to cause this - no rocks, etc.

I purchased a 2025 Nissan Rouge Rock Creek in March. Yesterday I got in my car, shut the door and the back door window shatters. No reason what so ever. it was 70* the day before and got down to the 40s overnight. There was no damage on car prior, Its a new car. Great condition. I reported the problem to the dealer and they told me it would be $1000 to fix.they do not cover glass. I noticed online others are having the same issue going on with the 2025 rouge rock creek edition as well as other 2025 rouges. Safety is at risk to anyone in or around the car as the glass can shatter at any given moment. I contacted the dealer along with nissan corporate to put in a claim report. They are not covering the cost at this point.

I purchased a 2025 Nissan Rogue approximately two weeks ago. Three nights ago, when I left work, I opened the rear driver-side door to place my backpack inside. When I gently closed the door—without slamming it—the entire rear windshield shattered. The glass had no prior damage; I had been regularly using the rear hatch and back seat doors throughout the week with no issues. Safelite came to my home yesterday to replace the rear windshield, and during the appointment we discovered that the liftgate will not open. I attempted every method of opening it: the button on the dashboard, the key fob, the hands-free foot sensor, and even attempting to manually release it. Nothing worked. The technician advised me to take the vehicle to the dealership. Later that afternoon, I brought the vehicle to Wally’s Nissan in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The technicians attempted the same methods I did, including trying to manually open and pry the liftgate. Despite this, the liftgate would not release, and the attempts to access it are resulting in damage to the interior of my brand-new vehicle. I am extremely unhappy with the situation and the condition in which my vehicle is being left. Based on what I have researched, it appears that a piece of shattered glass may be lodged in the latch mechanism, preventing the liftgate from opening. The dealership informed me that they do not know how to proceed and essentially sent me away without a resolution and just blaming the door actuator. At this time, I cannot have the rear windshield replaced because the liftgate cannot be opened. We are approaching winter weather, temperatures are dropping, and I commute an hour to work every day. I cannot be left with a vehicle I just purchased that has no functional liftgate and no rear window, with no guidance or support from the dealership. I am requesting immediate assistance and direction, as this situation is unacceptable. I should not be told “there is nothing we can do”

My car was sitting in my driveway earlier, no trees around, or no one outside. I had walked past the house door and my rear window was busted. We contacted Nissan and they said because there is not a recall, there is nothing they can do.

The sunroof on our car literally combusted on me and my wife while we were driving on the road. There was no sound of impact nor is there any sign of debris in our car. The glass simply shattered into our car spreading shards and micro glass all over the place. Again, there was no sign of debris in the car nor any sound of impact. This must be a defect especially since this seems to be particularly common with Nissan models
