2015 chevy silverado. Consumer writes in regards to rear window shattering while driving.

Conditions: heavy misting rain, 32 deg f, lowering temperature, daytime. This is to report a design defect of the windshield defogging system. The defogging system operated as designed. There was no failure of the equipment. When the windshield defogger is selected this vehicles system automatically sets to outside air and turns off the airconditioning conpressor at 32 deg f and below. On December 6th while driving during misting rain at slightly above freezing with the temperature slowly lowering I experienced a rapid and serious problem clearing the windshield of mist on the inside surface of the windshield as well as all other glass surfaces when the temperature fell below freezing and the airconditioning compressor cut off. Despite using the windshield defogger at the maximun heat and fan setting I was forced to pull over to the side of the road because I could no longer see well enough to drive safely. Selection of windshield defogging mode actually worsened the problem initially. I believe that the design of the system creates the potential (and in this case actual) danger of rapid loss of visibility to the outside of the vehicle with the possibility of a loss of effective control.

I was traveling from my home to alexandria,la. To pick up some parts for our farm. Weather conditions were changing from warm to cooler temperature due to an incoming cold front. Traveling 55 mph on a new smooth section of la. Highway 1, when all of a sudden a loud glass shattering noise happened behind me. When I looked back I saw the rear window had shattered and all of the shattered glass had blown out towards the rear bed of the truck. I notified southern Chevrolet of the incident by driving by there to show the sales person the exploded condition of the window. After attempting to get the manager, we went in talked with the service manager about it. She had no recollection of previous failures on this truck make. The sales person said he would follow up with the manger and research of any other problems associated with this style of truck and contact me. No response received as of this date 10. 23. 08.
