Was driving into driveway at approx. 5 mph and heard load pop. When got into garage i got out and noticed passenger side back window was shattered. When i was driving home i had turned on the rear window defrosters about 4 minutes before this happened. Looking into this, it seems to be a common problem with fords and they don't want to acknowledge any problems. *tr

The right side of the 3 piece rear window with defroster shattered after i turned it on. I had driven maybe 1 1/2 blocks after turning it on. I don't feel safe turning it on anymore. The window replacement company did not know what caused it. I bought the vehicle used with about 24050 miles on it so i don't know if this has happened before. *tr

In the morning i turned on my rear defrost it was aprox 40 degrees out. About 10 minutes into my drive i heard that sounded like a gun shot inside the truck slammed on the brakes and pulled to the side of the road... Looked around didn't see anything. As the sound seemed to come from the roof of the truck i looked at the roof and didn't see anything. I discounted it as a car backfire and proceeded to the gas…

I was sitting in my car with the rear window defroster on (60 or 70 degrees outside) and heard a very loud pop. When i looked at the back window it had exploded (shattered completely with no spider web cracks) and no one driving nearby, cutting grass, walking, etc - there was no one around, nothing next to the truck or in the bed that could have hit the window. I looked it up online in multiple forums and found that…

I also had the rear defrost on during the time which may have…

I went out too warm up my truck the other morning before work. I started the vehicle, turned on heat and the front and rear defroster. Came back outside to leave about 10 minutes later, as i started to pull out of my driveway i heard a loud pop. I got out of my truck to inspect my tires, which i thought was the problem at first.

On my 2010 ford f150 4x4 truck the right side rear window chattered when i turned on the rear defroster. You can see where there was some kind of energy built up at the base of the window and it exploded out, bending the window thin aluminum outer covering and it has a charred look to it. The rear window in that section is chattered in a million pieces just waiting to crumble out. * ...updated 03-20-13 *bf

I had started my truck, turned on the rear defroster , and within 10 minutes the back passenger side glass completely shattered. It appears that there was a small electrical fire or shortage in the corner of the glass where the defrosting mechanism attaches to the window glass. The window seal does not appear to be melted, but at the time of glass breaking , there was a loud bang (something like a fire cracker…

I thought it was a blown tire but when i looked in my rear view mirror i realized that the back panel in my rear window had shattered. It was totally spider-webed. I took it to the dealership and they claimed the defroster was functioning fine so…

Went out and started my vehicle to let it warm up while i walked my dog first thing in the morning before heading to work. After running for about 5 minutes i was ready to head to work. I opened my drivers door and all the sudden heard a loud "pow" very loud. I looked around and saw the back window had exploded throwing tiny shards of glass all over. It could have exploded in a child's eyes or my dogs. The window is…
