Do you know if someone previously had window tint on the back window? Sometimes if there has been and it is removed later the copper lines that make up the defrosting part get scratched and don't make a full circuit. Also, in case you haven't done it, check the fuse. They sell repair kits for the copper part that is etched onto the windshield but finding it is difficult without an ohm-meter.

check the wiring that goes from the roof to the hatch, over the years, with opening and closing the hatch, the wires will break. It's the bunch in the rubber protector on the top right corner.
