While parked in my driveway the back window (lift gate window) was raised to remove things from the back of the vehicle as soon as the window was being closed about halfway down it exploded and sent glass flying all around outside and inside the vehicle. The bottom piece of the window with the wiper was hanging from the electrical cord everything else was gone. There was no force on the window and nothing obstructing it the whole thing just exploded for no apparent reason. It was very scary and could have caused serious injuries. Luckily no one in this situation was injured. My family have spent hours removing all of the shattered glass from the driveway and yard. It sent glass flying as far as to the front of the vehicle.

When I turn my windshield wipers on they stay on low and will not go off unless I turn the truck off with the wipers in off position. My o/d off light started blinking when I was driving down the road when I turn the truck off for a few minutes it goes off, but comes on a little bit later while driving.
