My back window of my 2023 Nissan Rogue SL Blew out. I have a police report. Woman sweepingnuo the glass was nearly hit by the glass as the liftgate opened automatically and she could have been hurt very badly. Of there was someone in the backseat it would have been a very serious injury. The back window id defective and there have been numerous reports of the 2023 Nissan Rogues back windows exploding for no apparent reason. Very dangerous situation. I had mine replaced with no help from Nissan as my car was bought brand new and is still under warranty. Im out $1400.00 for the repair as well. This is unacceptable in so many ways. Im so afraid to drive it again as this could happen again. Someone can be severely hurt or killed. This needs to be recalled now. Before someone dies!!

I called the dealer Empire Nissan in Ontario were we purchased the vehicle to have the recall fixed. I was informed they don't have the parts in to fix it. I asked do they know when more or less it will arrive? They tell me no idea. I ask if it's possible to get a loaner meanwhile don't want to risk vehicle catching on fire according to recall it states this can happen if not taken care of they said there's nothing they can do. So now I'm afraid to drive the car but that's the only transportation available. I don't know how else to go about this. Please help

• Component: Oil Gasket Pan (can be inspected upon request) • On 10 June 2025, I took my vehicle to Firestone for routine maintenance. Upon an attempt to reinsert the oil plug, the technician could not do so; therefore, the oil gasket pan had to be replaced. The oil plug was not damaged. However, the grooves within the gasket pan itself was warped and the technician could not reinsert the plug in order for the oil to remain within the engine. Unfortunately, I had to pay $600+ just to replace the gasket oil pan for a defective part on Nissan’s end. The item is horribly made from plastic material; that is not ideal, considering that oil becomes hot during use. The main concern here would be can the vehicle withhold engine oil between oil changes and it would not leak? Huge safety concern here, in addition to the recent recall on the engine bearings. • I’ve also seen complaints regarding this from other Nissan Rogue owners for various years (dating from 2021-2024).

While driving down I-95 north, we heard a very loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and then shattering. When we looked, it was the rear glass that busted and shattered for some unknown reason.

The 2023 rogue has a known problem of smelling like fuel after driving. I have had multiple service calls. They have replaced a hose and other things. But they have failed. There is now a recall for most of these cars but my VIN number is not on the recall list even though I have experienced this problem for years at this point. The service department cannot change the necessary hose because it is not on the recall list.

This vehicle was sold by Copart with a clean title despite prior federal NMVTIS junk/salvage reporting and insurance loss. The salvage record was concealed from the buyer and not properly disclosed by the seller. There is a pattern involving Copart, Hertz, Progressive, and other companies hiding salvage data, VIN laundering, and reselling unsafe vehicles. I have extensive evidence including title copies, NMVTIS records, and photos, in a secure Drive link: [XXX] . Please investigate for safety and fraud.

Oil Pan/Oil Pan Gasket damaged. Plastic oil pan with a metal bolt is due to fail anytime when replacing oil/doing an oil change. Nissan has, for about 99%, done all of my oil changes. Was told at Nissan the part was stripped, and could he a potential hazard of bolt shooting out of Pan due to pressure/heat expansion and lead to engine failure or be hazardous if vehicle was being driven. Was not even aware of this stripped bolt/broken pan until I went for a routine oil change with Nissan. This is my family vehicle and I drive my kid everywhere in this vehicle. This is a major safety concern and flaw and should be reason to reconsider and be gone with the plastic pans and have metal ones be manufactured/produced. Had to pay put of pocket for it to be replaced. Should have been covered by Nissan or be recalled immediately. This could put my family at risk if it fails and we are out driving. We do constant road trips and long distance destinations. This is concerning.

I bought the car November, 2023. Today I have 5300 miles. Two months after purchase the car while I was driving, it shifted from "D" drive to "1". I went slowly from no speed to around 30 MPH when I heard a roaring noise and saw that the car down shifted. I stopped immediately (no cars behind me). Went to dealership which had no idea of what happened. No one else reported anything like my experience at the dealership Service Department. Happened twice over a couple of months which I did not go back to dealership. I believe it was on April 26, 2025, it happened twice the same day. I slowly went from being stopped and within 100 feet it went to "1". Back to dealership so they made a record. May 17, 2025, I was stopped on a slight incline. I was in "R", With foot on brake I switched to "D". Without moving it went into "1". I happened to be looking at dash. This new. Today dealership could find nothing. In April, 2025, I checked on the computer. Several articles regarding my problem. Nissan is aware of this problem. Someone described my problem exactly and gave a price range to repair and even named the part. Do people have to die before Nissan does a recall?

The sunroof exploded while on the expressway going 75mph. At first after hearing the loud explosion, I thought it was a blowout tire. Almost got hit by two cars as I was pulling over .I took the car to the Nissan dealership and I was told I would have to leave the car there while they contact Nissan and send them pictures.

On December 3, 2025, while parked in the hospital parking lot, the rear hatch window of my vehicle suddenly shattered without any impact, collision, or outside interference. I approached my vehicle and found the glass completely busted outward. I immediately contacted hospital security. They reviewed the surveillance footage and confirmed the following: No one was near or tampering with the vehicle at the time the window shattered. There was no visible impact, vandalism, or external cause. The video clearly shows the window spontaneously breaking on its own. After leaving the hospital, I contacted the Nissan dealership. They stated they had “never heard of anything like this.” However, after researching online, I found numerous complaints from other owners reporting similar spontaneous rear window failures in Nissan vehicles. This raises concerns that the issue may be related to manufacturing defects, glass stress fractures, faulty hinges, or improper pressure seals. At this point, I am seeking assistance and clarification on how to proceed regarding the repair, warranty coverage, and potential safety defect reporting.

Since August 6, 2025, my vehicle has been under a safety recall and has been unusable for over three months. The recall notice states that the remedy is not yet available, and there is no estimated date for when repairs will be completed. I have contacted Nissan multiple times seeking assistance, including requests for a loaner vehicle, rental reimbursement, or buyback, but Nissan has refused to help or provide any interim solution. As a result, I have been without the use of my car for several months due to a manufacturer’s safety defect. Summary of Issues: •Recall active since August 6, 2025 •Remedy not available; no repair timeline provided •Vehicle cannot be safely driven •Manufacturer refuses to assist with transportation, rental, or buyback I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance and investigation into this matter, as it is unreasonable that a safety recall leaves an owner without a vehicle for such an extended period without any remedy or support. Thank you for your attention to this urgent safety concern.

I bought my 2023 Nissan Rogue back in May. Then in June or July, I noticed a huge bulge on the sidewall on my left front driver's side of my car. I had to have it replaced immediately, in which I did, at Walmart. Fast forward to September 30, and I went to mclarty to have an oil change cause Walmart will no longer do them because of some sort of plastic oil seal that they have broken several times and their boss said no more oil changes on them. While at mclarty they found a bad front left quick strut and basically accused me of hitting something and hitting it hard for it to do that much damage. I did not hit anything at all!! I feel that this damage was done to my vehicle before I bought it and I don't feel that I should have to pay for something that I didn't do and that the mechanics should have found, if in fact they did do their inspection before selling it to me. The inspection was supposedly done. Signed, very unhappy and irrate customer

I've been waiting for Nissan to come up for a remedy for recall # 25V - 437. I've called the dealership several times and have been told that there isn't a remedy yet for the problem. I first started calling about six weeks ago once I found out about the recall and its potential problems and hazards.

I am writing to formally report a concern regarding a potential design defect in the 2023 Nissan Rogue that I believe poses a safety risk. During a routine oil change at a Nissan dealership, the metal drain plug detached from the vehicle’s oil pan. The dealership determined that the plastic oil pan had to be replaced and charged me approximately $500 for the repair. I have since learned that this issue may be the result of a flawed design — specifically, the combination of a plastic oil pan and a metal drain plug, which may lead to stripped threads or plug failure over time. From my understanding, Nissan has modified the oil pan design in the 2024 Rogue models, which suggests they are aware of the flaw and have taken steps to correct it. However, for 2023 models like mine, this issue remains a risk. If the plug detaches while the vehicle is in operation, it could lead to a sudden and dangerous loss of engine oil, potentially resulting in engine failure and loss of vehicle control — a serious safety hazard. I believe this should be investigated as a potential safety-related defect. The current design not only puts drivers at risk but also leaves them responsible for costly repairs resulting from what appears to be a manufacturer design oversight.

I believe there is an issue with the transmission. While driving, the vehicle is unable to accelerate. The engine revs high and the RPMs go really high. I have to pull over and turn off the car. When I restart, I am able to proceed, and the car acts normal. This has happened several times and has occurred in heavy traffic. This issue has happened many times over the past few months.
