My windshield cracked it about 2500 miles. I went to the dealer and they said it was a stone chip however I didn't see one. A couple of weeks ago and it cracked in the middle horizontally just below the rearview mirror. The two cracks were not connected initially. However I hit a bump in the road and they did connect. The crack goes almost all the way across from one side to the other of my windshield at this point.
