Weather was 28 degrees fahrenheit. leaving work i turned on my rear glass defrost and on my 20 commute to my home about 1 mile from my house at around 4:20 am central standard time my rear passenger side back glass shattered. all i heard was a loud impact sound like something hitting my roof and when i pulled up to my house and further inspected my vehicle that is when i noticed my rear glass had shattered and was still cracking. i looked for an impact mark but found nothing. bed of truck was empty so only conclusion is that the rear defrost may have got to hot with cold glass but i really do not know.

2010 f-150 was parked overnight in a residential driveway in freezing temperatures. when the truck was started at about 7 am the temperature was around 15 f. the truck was started and allowed to idle for about 10 minutes. when the driver entered the truck the rear defrost was started. while the truck was still parked and about 1 minute after the defrost button was hit there was a large pop. upon investigation, the driver's side panel of the rear window had shattered. there was no evidence of anything striking the window, and there had been no visible defects to the window prior to the incident. the cause appears to be related to the defrost being activated in the cold temperature.
Sitting in my driveway on nov 8th, 2019 i started up my 2010 ford f150 pickup. i sat in the truck while it was warming. we had frost the night prior so i turned on the rear window defroster. not long after the passenger side of the back window shattered. it sounded like an explosion. very scary. the glass stayed intact pretty much but it was all cracked. after i pulled myself together, as i was totally unprepared for something of this nature to happen, i was pretty shook up. i drove to menards to get some plastic to tape it up. as i did the pieces of the window started falling out, both on the inside and the outside. there was glass everywhere. i took my truck to manley motors in belvidere , illinois where they documented it, and also filled out a form and submitted to ford corporate. i also called the ford customer service line and submitted a claim. the claim number is cas24904981. my 2010 ford f150 is out of warranty by years. not by mileage. i only have just over 50, 000 miles on it. it is like brand new still. there is not ...

2010 f-150 rear driver side window shattered for no apparent reason while back into my nephews driveway
At 6:00am on 5-26-2019 i started vehicle with both defrosters on. it was parked in driveway. i let vehicle run about 15 minutes to remove fog from windows. upon re-entry i noticed a burning smell like when you start your furnace for the first time in the winter. i tried to locate the odor, i noticed the odor was strongest in rear seat on passenger side of vehicle. i noticed that the back glass was now shattered but intact. a police report and investigation was performed. the officer concluded that there was no impact. i placed packing tape on window to secure glass until it can be replaced.
I was driving to work on 2/5/19, around 6:45am, and had the rear window defrost on. while in motion on a city street, i heard a loud pop coming from the vehicle.the sound was loud enough to be mistaken for a gun shot. after trying to figure out what the noise was, i noticed in my rear view mirror that the passenger side rear window was completely cracked. i was amazed the entire window didn't collapse inward. after coming to a stop and inspecting the window closer, i was unable to see where any foreign object impacted the window. i believe this incident was caused by the rear window defrost heating the window too rapidly and causing the class to expand too much, causing the failure.
Takata recall. when pulling out into traffic on a very busy highway as the on coming traffic speed limit is 50mph, i'm pulling out on the highway with a safe distance between cars on this busy road as i accelerated my 2010 f150 fx4 super crew cab "with my family in the truck i might add" the truck just down shifts and it slams me and my family forward "like i hit a tree going 30mph" the truck shuts off completely and a symbol of a wrench pops up on the dashboard. with no power steering, no power breaks, no way to safely move the truck off the road at this point due to the traffic i was trying to avoid was passing me going at least 50mph almost getting rear ended by several cars and semi trucks, i push the flashers on and pray that nothing bad happens and coast until the truck finally comes to a stop after about 30-45 seconds. i get out of the truck after the group of vehicles pass by and inspected to see if the engine or transmission was blown up or leaking fluid and nothing at this point so i'm ...
The passenger section of the rear window shattered while the rear defroster was activated. the vehicle was parked in a parking lot of a restaurant and without anything impacting the window it just shattered. for about a week leading up to the incident there was a funny smell whenever i used the rear defroster, melting plastic, that i couldn't pinpoint. initially, i though it might have been the seat heaters
