Description of the problem	It snowed some last night, this morning i started my truck and attempted to turn on the rear window defroster, but the light would not turn on. (i have the 3 panel window with a sliding rear window in the center) after some investigation online, i cannot convince myself to try and use the defroster again because of the risk of the window exploding. Now not being able to use the defroster is also causing a visibility issue when the window fogs up. It makes it very difficult to switch lanes and merge. It requires a lot of trust in the side mirrors which do not provide enough visibility to make the safest decisions when merging in traffic. My truck was stationary when i was trying to get the rear defroster/defogger to turn on, and i attempted several times, including shutting the engine off and starting it again. Ford should know of this problem with all the complaints on forums and several dealers know of this issue as well. Ford will not cover parts for this because they say its a part of the glass, which is not covered in warranty. I am writing this in hope to get nhtsa to review these windows before mine may implode and cause glass to shatter all over the back seat which may have people in it when it could occur.
