Windshield developed a stress crack starting at the bottom-center, and is growing vertically. Several other owners have reported the same issue, originating in the same exact spot. Some have reported that the original windshield was too large and, consequently, did not leave sufficient room for caulking at the bottom. Others have reported that a defect in the vehicle's dash causes it to press against the windshield. This has been reported to the factory by numerous other owners, and the factory refuses to correct the issue.
