| Description of the problem | I started my truck with automatic start so that it could warm up. When i was ready to leave i went outside, got into truck and put the keys in. I was about to back up when i noticed my back window had fog on it so i tried to turn on the rear defogger. The light would not come on saying that it was on so i pushed the button a few more times. The light never came on. I was about to back my truck out of the driveway when all of a sudden i hear a loud bang and my son, who was in the back seat facing forward with his seatbelt on, said the back window is cracking. It was the rear window on the drivers side. I got out to look and nothing had hit the back window, it just broke on its own. I don't know if this was a failure to the rear defogger or the window |
