Windshield crack. Crack occurred when not in motion. Car was not near anywhere with rocks. Only drove car 30 miles from the time I bought it from the dealer.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2019

Windshield was cracked for no apparent reason. I log a ton of miles as a part-time uber driver and never recall a stone or anything else impact my windshield while I was driving. Suddenly on 9/15/19, there was a small crack on my windshield and now, on 11/3/19, there are linear cracks on the windshield that extend 24" on both sides of that small crack. This was likely due to the changing cold weather.
