Wiper problems of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Trucks driver side rear window which is a three-piece window with a sliding window in the middle has shattered apparently due to a defect or fault in the rear window fogger. I had my son in the back at one point and put the defogger on, and it started smoking and nearly caught on fire. No warning on either incidences and they did not occur at one time but about two days apart.

Used the remote start feature to warm up my truck (automatically turns on rear defrost). Upon entering the vehicle I could smell smoke. While driving I turned around and noticed smoke pouring from rear window. I turned off the rear defrost and the window exploded! I contacted the dealer and they claimed the recall had already been completed and they could not assist me.

Was on my way to work the morning of 11/11/23, the rear window defroster was on. I saw in the rear-view mirror smoke at the rear window. The smoke only lasted a few seconds. About 10 seconds after the smoke stopped there was a loud bang inside the truck. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the right-side glass in the slider had shattered. The old window is still in the vehicle. I am in the process of getting a new power sliding window and getting the money together to have it replaced. I have not taken the tuck to a Chevrolet dealer to have them inspect it. I found an article that there is a recall for the rear window defroster in canada, recall # n192220470.

When turning on defroster heard a buzzing/hissing/sizzling sounds. Rear defroster wires extremely hot and burning smell coming from wires. Gm knows about this problem but only issued a recall in canada and I am in us.

The rear window defroster melted and started to smoke and then the rear window exploded.

My 2015 silverado was started up remotely to warm up during an icy day. The truck had already been driven a few hours earlier. When I stepped in the truck I heard sizzling.
