Driving to work on a winter day, had the rear defroster on to de-ice some ice on back rear window. I heard a "pop" sounded like a balloon popping, thought I had a flat, started to slow down, looked in my rear view mirror, that is when I saw that my back window was shattered. Continued on to work, trying to avoid bumps on freeway. No luck, when I drove over a bump the glass started falling into the back of the car. When I got to work tried calling dealer, kept getting put on hold, called insurance company I asked them if a certain glass company was on their list of repair shops, it was, I had to pay a $100 deductible, the rear window of car was replaced. I believe it was a faulty heating element in the rear window.
