While driving the vehicle the passenger side of my rear window shattered due to the rear defroster circuit overheating. I brought the vehicle into my local Chevrolet Cerified dealership to examine - they stated that my VIN number is not included in the wide spread recall affecting over 150k vehicles having the same exact issue.

The vehicle throws the check engine light randomly (avg once every 2 months). It occurs around 65 MPH (interstate) which, leads me to believe it is a misfire on one of the cylinders. I have had it to the dealership and a diagnostic complete.

Your rear power sliding window suddenly shattered and blew outward when you started the engine remotely during cold weather. Chevrolet issued a recall for this problem (N192265660), but your VIN wasn't included in the recall despite your truck being a 2017 Silverado 1500. You're currently working with a Chevy dealership to get it repaired. The fix will likely involve replacing the rear sliding window assembly.

A solder joint on your air conditioning condenser failed, causing refrigerant to leak out and your AC to stop working. This is a safety concern because without functioning AC, your windshield defogger doesn't work effectively, which reduces visibility. The issue first appeared with no warning lights—you only noticed it when the defogger became less effective. Fixing this will likely require replacing the air conditioning condenser or having the solder joint professionally repaired and the system recharged with refrigerant.
