Carrier/rack Problems of Land Rover Range Rover Sport

I would like to know how many people have experienced a stress crack in their Land Rover's windshield. We have had two Land Rover sports, 2013 and 2015, and both have had stress fractures from the top of the windshield that resulted in huge cracks from top to bottom and side to side in the course of one day that are extremely unsafe. The people at our Land Rover dealership had a rep from a-1auto glass in fort worth, texas look at it while he was there. He said that there was a break at the top and surmised that it was from a rock. However, the car wasn't driven and had been parked in our house miles and miles from any road traffic. Though I understand that cracks can occur over time, we have a comparison--fortunately or unfortunately-- of an actual rock chip right on the windshield and the result is what you would expect, a central strike with radiating lines and a discernible point of impact. Having the same stress fracture at the exact same place on not one, but two Land Rovers is really beyond coincidence. Forget that these windshields cost $1400 to replace. The fact that a strike that was apparently so tiny that a picture had to be taken and enlarged to find the point of impact would create in less than 24 hours a complete bisection of the windshield from side to side is uncanny. Not on one car. But on two cars of the same model leads me to believe that there is a manufacturers defect on these windshields that renders them very unsafe. We are having it looked at independently and will upload pictures and video from those interviews here.
