Today I had the rear window defroster on and drove my Ford Windstar home and parked it in the garage. About one half hour later we heard a huge explosion and found that the rear window had blown out. It smelled like it had been burned.
Turned on rear defogger and back window shattered. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
