Windshield on other Rogue years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Many windshield complaints are about cracks owners can't explain: a line that starts at the edge of the glass, or a small chip that spreads. Nearly one in five of these complaints mentions it happening again or a second windshield.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the windshield (25 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the windshield and wipers covers the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
In the affected vehicles, the rear lift gate support stays may corrode due to insufficient anti-corrosion treatment.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 2 service bulletins or notices for the 2015 Nissan Rogue that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
WINDSHIELD CRACKING
SERVICE INFORMATION The purpose of this bulletin is to give Nissan dealers guidelines to help determine if windshield breakage is covered under warranty or is the customer?s responsibility.
What owners wrote
“The panoramic sunroof exploded while driving down the road. We almost crashed because it was so loud. It sounded like a gun shot. If the shade hadnât 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.”

“Something to do with Heat - the drivers side heat does not work but the passenger does. This affects the defrosting of the windshield - cannot defrost with cold air in the winter. I have found several discussion boards detailing the same issues with cost to fix is over $3K.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 25 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
