Your 2009 4Runner's rear window suddenly shattered and fell apart without any impact or accident. A technician indicated the rear defroster may have overheated and caused the glass to break, which he said is a known issue with this model year. Toyota issued a recall for this problem (Warranty Program ZG7), but the program ended in 2018 and Toyota declined to reimburse your out-of-pocket repair costs. Fixing this issue typically involves replacing the rear window glass and inspecting or repairing the rear defroster heating element.
