Driving ~10-15 mph in public park, 2 kids in carseats in back seat. Weather was rainy. I had just turned on the rear window defroster for defog about 4-5 minutes prior. Sudden loud "boom" and rear/back window exploded, sending shards of glass into passenger compartment. There were no other people or cars around the outside of the vehicle, and I had not recently opened the rear hatch/door.
