Consumer Description

WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK THIS MORNING, I TRIED TO TURN THE REAR DEFROSTER ON AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN TO THE VILLAGE SPEED LIMIT OF 30 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD POP/ BANG THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED BUT WAS STILL IN PLACE. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT IT AND NOTICED THE REAR DEFROSTER LED LIGHT ON. I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY ALL SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME. THEY ALL EXPLAIN THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER AND A LOUD POP AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERING. *TR
