While your car was stopped at a red light, both rear windows suddenly shattered and exploded without any warning signs. The windows then collapsed inward. This created a serious safety hazard—if you had been driving when this happened, it could have caused an accident. The vehicle will need complete rear window replacement and inspection to determine why the glass spontaneously failed.

There were no warning signs that this was going to happen.
Got in my car and was buckeling my seatbelt and then a loud bang.. Sounded like a gunshot. The rear window exploded. This is a known issue with Nissan rogue. The sound scared me.

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.

Enterprise Rental: Back window shattered spontaneously. Car WAS NOT IN MOTION, it was parked.
On a cool morning (~53°F), I drove approximately 6.4 miles each way (about 12–13 miles total) to and from school with the rear defroster on to clear condensation. After returning home and parking, I heard a loud pop and saw that the entire rear hatch window was shattered. I called my husband outside, and we documented the damage with photos and video. When I closed the door, the shattered glass collapsed inward into the cargo area, with shards also scattered across the driveway. There was no external strike point, debris, or prior damage to the glass. The breakage was spontaneous and created a safety hazard by leaving sharp tempered fragments inside the vehicle and an open rear hatch. Other 2025 Rogue owners have reported the same failure, suggesting a recurring defect.

The rear window shattered spontaneously with explosive force and sound while I was driving and parking it in the subsurface garage of my condominium complex, with my wife as a passenger. I can only surmise that substandard safety glass, combined with unusually high outside temperatures and extremely effective interior air conditioning was involved in the physics of the explosion. The incident was unprecedented in my 67 years of driving. The incident was preceded by intermittent and inexplicable hissing sounds for several miles before I entered my parking garage and parked the vehicle. No external projectile or impact was involved.
Went to leave the house and noticed the rear windshield was shattered. Holes on either side of the windshield. With glass on the outside of the vehicle, as if the windshield had exploded outward.
