Description of the problem	While driving home from work on 1/15/14, i decided to use my rear window defrost due to the temperature (42 degrees) and the build up of condensation. I turned it on for about 10 minutes until the glass was clear. It took me approximately 30 minutes to drive home where i parked my truck inside my garage. I left about 1 hour later and while looking in my rear view mirror i noticed the sliding window shattered on the passenger side. After returning home i contacted safelite and scheduled to have it replaced through my insurance company. When the repairman came out he realized he had the wrong replacement and was going to order it through ford. He also advised me the window damage started at the connection point of the defrost. After further investigation on-line i realized i am not the only one with this problem. There are many f-150 owners that had the same thing happen to them with some being the glass actually exploded and some with arcing or fire. Most of the issues were on 2010 f-150's with some newer models as well and all were on the passenger side slider window. Most of the cases i read about on-line were paid out by the vehicle owners and insurance agencies. There were some cases were ford paid the bill. I feel this should definitely be looked into on the safety aspect alone and ford should be held accountable.
