Description of the problem	During the start up of my 2013 ford f-150, i proceeded to utilize the rear defroster to get the ice off the rear window. The rear window is comprised of 3 panels of glass, one on each side and the sliding window in the center. Last week, the rear defroster worked intermittently, after several attempts at depressing the button it would eventually turn on, not a week later it does not work at all. Thinking it was possibly the fuse or a problem with the button itself, i searched online to find out if there was something i could do, and found that this is a common issue and requires replacement of the entire back glass and that some had this covered under warranty. I called the ford dealership and talked to the repair department and was told by the manager that he has the same vehicle and the same problem and that the only way to get the rear defrost to work is to replace the entire back glass and that the cost is around $2200. Searching online on the f150 forum boards finds that this is a common problem and the fix is replacement of the entire backglass. Because my vehicle has 50,000 miles and is past the 36,000 miles of the warranty it is not fords problem. As this is a safety issue (visibility through back glass) i searched on the governments recall website here and found similar complaints and that many have also experienced the windowing cracking, spidering and exploding when using
