2025 NISSAN ROGUE Safety Overview

Component: STRUCTURE

"The rear windshield glass shattered suddenly after I opened and closed the rear passenger door. The windshield had a big hole and the glass broken into hundreds of little pieces falling into the truck and on the ground."

Component: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

"The front and back collision warning system lights are on indicating that they are not working, this is a Nissan 2025 rouge sv, they turned on when accelerating from stop and now I have lost my turbo pressure (won't go over 0), and when in park it revs up and down without my input. ACCELERATING FROM STOP TURNS CAR INTO LIMP MODE"

Component: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

"Failed Components: Engine valvetrain, powertrain/transmission, and electronic throttle control, directly linked to open federal safety recalls NHTSA 26V-080 and 26V-081. Safety Risk: The vehicle was sold CPO by Downey Nissan with unaddressed safety recalls. It suffers from severe engine vibration, a sharp mechanical valvetrain ticking noise, a persistent burning odor, and catastrophic transmission gear slippage that abruptly drops out of gear and slams back into drive mid-turn, creating an extreme collision hazard in traffic."

Component: VISIBILITY/WIPER

"When I sat down in my car and closed the door the rear window exploded. It was in the morning at 5:15 am, still dark and cool."

Component: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

"Vehicle: 2025 Nissan Rogue (1.5L 3-Cylinder VC-Turbo Engine) Approximate Mileage: about 23,600 miles Failure Date: September 25, 2026 Incident Description: While operating my vehicle on September 24, the cabin climate control system suddenly stopped producing heat and began blowing exclusively cool air. The following day, while accelerating onto the freeway to merge into high-speed active traffic, a massive column of thick white smoke violently billowed out from the vehicle exhaust so thick I could not see vehicles around me. Concurrently, the engine temperature gauge spiked aggressively into the extreme hot/danger zone before erratically fluctuating back toward the normal range. Immediately following the temperature spike, the vehicle lost reliable acceleration, began severely lunging, jerking, and lost normal throttle response. The dashboard illuminated multiple critical malfunction alerts, specifically identifying a failure in the Emission Control System and the automatic Start-Stop system warning. Safety Risk Statement: The sudden powertrain failure and severe engine lunging occurred at highway speeds (65-70 mph) on a major freeway I-35, resulting in an immediate and hazardous drop in speed. As the vehicle slowed down rapidly in active traffic, I was forced to maneuver a failing vehicle across two active lanes of high-speed traffic and cut directly across a freeway on-ramp with a failing throttle to reach the safety of the shoulder, where I awaited a tow truck. This defect presents an immediate, catastrophic collision hazard. The manufacturer has expanding recalls on this specific VC-Turbo engine family, but claims my specific VIN is not currently covered. There were no warning indicators prior to the failure. Elevated Nissan in Merriam Kansas has the vehicle and is evaluating it."

Component: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

"The rear window exploded with no-one near it and not touching the lift gate. Nissan refused to do anything the car has only 7,420 miles on it"

Component: VISIBILITY

"It was a beautiful day between 68-75 degrees. Got into my Rouge around 145p and when I shut my door the entire back window just shattered. I’m calling the manufacture tomorrow as there are many complaints on the internet as well as a possible class action lawsuit."

Component: VISIBILITY

"Back windshield spontaneously shattered. About 10 minutes after the car was parked a coworker heard a loud bang and noticed pieces of the window falling off of the car. When I came out (I was already inside) cracks were still appearing and pieces were falling off. I had put on the rear defrost on the way into work, about 10 minutes."

Component: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

"dashboard displayed a "Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled" message, and over the next 30 minutes, the braking system steadily failed until the pedal went completely dead, causing a multi-car collision"

Component: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

"While driving the start/stop fault popped up then the Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Parking Collision Warning malfunctioned. The vehicle also lost power when accelerating, RPM would go high but vehicle wouldn’t go any faster. Engine light came on. Had it scanned codes P0196 (engine oil temperature sensor ‘A’ range/performance) & P0507 (idle control system RPM-higher than expected). Fuel consumption goes fast."

Component: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

"I came out of work to find my back windshield completely spider cracked with no apparent physical damage"

Component: VISIBILITY

"While driving on highway rear windshield exploded without any reason."

Component: VISIBILITY

"YES. 9/4/2026 I WENT TO GET IN THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED I ATTEMPTED TO SEARCH THE CAR FOR BASEBALLS OR ROCKS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY WAS FOUND AND WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE THE WHOLE BACK GLASS CAVED IN. I WAS TOLD THE ROGUE HAS A DEFECTIVE BACK GLASS AND I AM THANKFUL I WAS NOT GOING DOWN THE HWY AT 70 MPH W MY CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AS THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. IT SAID HIGH TEMPS CAN BURST THE GLASS AND IT WAS 100 DEGREES THE DAY THE GLASS SHATTERED BUT WE OWN OTHER VEHICLES THAT WITHHELD THAT TYPE OF TEMP. I DONT THINK THIS IS FAIR I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE GLASS WHEN MY VEHICLE IS UNDER MANUFACTURS WARRANTY ONLY HAVING 20K MILES ON THE VEHICLE IM A VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER W NISSAN."

Component: STEERING,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

"While driving the steering wheel pulled to the left then shook a little after. Then it kind of pulled to the right. I kept driving and later in afternoon received email from Nissan that my Electronic Power Steering System may not be functioning properly. They recommended to have it serviced asap. Same drive, a car pulled in front of me and I did not get a verbal or audible warning regarding a possible front collision. My ADAS was repaired in August. While cars stopped at red light, I came up on a stopped vehicle purposefully and got very close. No warning again with a system that was repaired last month. No braking either."

Component: VISIBILITY/WIPER

"After multiple issues with the motor of my new Rogue, my windshield spontaneously shattered this week. I'm glad I was not driving the vehicle when it occurred because apparently it sounded like a shotgun when it ruptured. This is a major issue apparently for many Rogue owners. My concern is what else might be wrong with the vehicle - not a safe vehicle for sure. If you're a mom and driving with little kiddos - please find a safer vehicle! Nissan is repairing the windshield and is trying to offer to trade the vehicle - which is a sign that they are aware of this problem among Rogues."

Component: VISIBILITY

"The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the rear windshield exploded without impact. The contact stated that there was no injury sustained but there was broken glass on the hands. Medical attention was not needed. The local dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was referred to the insurance company. No additional assistance was provided.

Component: VISIBILITY

"The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. While the contact’s wife was driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed with the rear defroster engaged, there was a loud banging sound coming from the vehicle, and the liftgate glass shattered. The rear glass was not impacted by an object to cause the glass to shatter. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,000."

Component: ENGINE,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

"The vehicle was recalled and when they reprogrammed the ECM, a code P11a9 appeared which led to the VCR actuator. They had to perform a VCR base position learning procedure. Initially, the service tech and service manager told us we needed a new engine.also, the ADAS and lane departure parts needed to be replaced as the crash malfunction light came on at about 65 miles."

Component: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

"While driving my 2025 Nissan rogue Platinum on the parkway while engaging their propilot assist function my car randomly and on multiple occasions applied the brakes when it wasn't necessary. Just led to at least one occasion where there was almost a severe accident however thankfully I was able to regain control in time. On these occasions they are completely random does not happen every time it's just tends to happen when I least expect it. It's happened at least 5 to 10 times over the past year I've brought it into my local dealership and it's currently there a second time and they claim they are unable to replicate the issue. Lastly on another occasion the words malfunctioning check our owners manual appeared on my dashboard and then propilot assist was unable to function at all until the car was turned off and back on I captured video of this and attached it"

Component: POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

"The vehicle DTC was 11A9, they said everything was checked and “fine”. The crash collision/malfunction light came on second day of owning brand new vehicle. 2sensors are bad and need replacement. Vehicle has 437 on it."
