The sunroof is and side of the front window leak and caused the electrical system to fault. It happened in my 2017 rogue and again in my 2020. I have had it fixed twice and it still does it. They say it’s from dirt but as soon as they ran diagnostics and cleaned it out it leaks again. I have photos and documentation of both visits to the dealership and pics of the leaking.
