Description of the problem	Rear power window shattered with no impact damage found. Vehicle was remote started at roughly 5:00 am, ambient temperature was approximately 55 degrees fahrenheit. As i was exiting my house, the vehicle idling in the driveway, i heard a loud bang / pop. Sounded like a rock being throw at a body panel. I inspected the roof and hood at the time thinking something fell from a tree but no dent or object was found. At 12:08pm i took my lunch break and when at a stop light i looked in the rear view mirror to see the glass spidered but still in place from the window tint. I pulled over to take a look for impact damage but none was found. Upon returning to work, took pictures of the exterior glass in case of any coverage where evidence is needed. A quick google search showed that this seems to be a common issue and that it may be associated with the rear window defroster. I work in the automotive field, specifically a dealership service employee, and know when it is a defect or if there was outside influence and i can say without a doubt that this is a defect. Either in the glass itself or with the heater circuit / grid. This is unacceptable from a quality standpoint as well as from a business standpoint.
