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 (38 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the windshield and wipers covers the 2023 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 16,298 and 39,000 miles, from the 8 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 2 service bulletins or notices for the 2023 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.

What owners wrote
“The rear windshield exploded out of nowhere while the car was parked in a parking lot.”
Filed Sep 29, 2026
“I was waiting to turn when my rear window had a sudden "BANG" noise and shattered. There was no snow on my car, and no evidence of anything going inside my car that could've caused the damage. As I drove, the glass continued to shatter more and more and ended up in my vehicle, and potentially on the road as well. There is currently an open class action lawsuit regarding this issue.”
Filed Feb 27, 2026
“My car had been parked while I was at work. I was the only person there. I got in the driver's side seat and put my purse in the passenger seat. I heard a lost pop and the back glass exploded in the hatch.”
Filed Jan 29, 2026
“My back windshield shattered while driving at 25 miles an hour with no other cars around me. Sounded like a gunshot.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 38 reports involved a crash. 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.
