HUGE crack developed suddenly in windshield. This is the third repair I have had to make. This windshield seems to crack easily - even the slightest hit damages the windshield. With this crack I can feel the separation in the glass. It-??s dangerous. Doing a simple internet search reveals this as a known issue.

I have been driving this car for over a year and have not had any impact, collision or any kind of accident. Last week I noticed a crack around the windshield. I starts from the bottom, up towards the middle and arcs toward the driver side. There is no point of contact or any indication that a small/tiny rock fell on it. At first I thought it was a rain drop that rolled down on the windshield but after cleaning both inside and outside, I realized it was a crack.

A small crack appeared on the windshield driver side of vehicle. I have no recollection of any items or debris hitting the car and damaging it. I then searched online and found there have been many registered instances of this specific car model windshield (2021 and newer) either easily cracking or seemingly cracking under no impact.

The windshield has cracked 2 times since I bought the car -?" 1 crack per year. This is an expensive repair. In no other vehicle have I experienced windshield cracks so frequently. Is this windshield thinner than industry norms? Two times an object has hit the windshield while I was driving. Initially each impact only caused a chip on the windshield. Then a 12 inch crack appeared: a) the first crack appeared during the chip repair; b) the second incident's crack appeared 30 minutes after the windshield was chipped. The latest crack is available for inspection. The cracks caused no safety issues.

Windshield cracked with no reason. Did not drive on highway but a over 10-inch crack appeared nowhere on the driver side. It was the second time our windshield cracked. This is definitely an issue with defective glasses.
