 Description of the problemI started my 2010 f150 super crew this morning to let it warm up, it was approx. 45 degrees outside and the windows were fogged. I turned on my rear defroster for my power sliding rear window, when i re-entered the truck about 5 minutes after starting the truck, i was sitting there for a minute and i heard a loud pop sound, i looked back to see the right side of my rear 3-piece window shattered and there was smoke coming from the inside of the rear glass at the bottom where the heater element was, there was no fire just a small amount of smoke. There had been no impact to the glass and it has become apparent to me that this was a malfunction of the rear defroster element overheating the glass. I got out to inspect the damage and found small "sliver" type shards of glass on my seat. This is especially a problem for me because had my wife not had off today i would have had my 8 month old daughter in her car seat directly under the window which would have for sure caused potentially severe injury. After doing a simple google search for this problem it is obvious this is a very large issue with thousands of documented cases of the exact same incident occurring to the right rear window of the power sliding defrosting window of 2010 ford f150's. I contacted ford and they would not cover the defect and i was less then pleased with their customer service. I have contacted my insurance company and they are going to replace the window, my expense being the deductible.
