ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Driving at approx 55 to 60 MPH with rear defrost on. Began to smell a burning/electrical smell, and within 90 seconds heard a loud bang. Rear window (stationary piece on drivers side) had shattered. Smell presumably coming from the rear window defrost component. No warning lights or messages on the truck. My son was sitting in the rear seat at the time so this is a huge safety risk. This has not yet been repaired. Window replacement is scheduled with Safelite on 6/8, consult with dealer on rear defrost set for 6/10. Photos are available.
