Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Windshields develop long cracks, often 8 to 24 inches, that appear suddenly with a loud pop while driving or after the car sits parked overnight, with no visible impact point.
Some owners report the crack starts at the top center of the windshield and curves down toward the rearview mirror mount, an area described as housing a rain sensor and smart camera panel.
Multiple owners report replacing the windshield only to have new cracks form again within weeks, sometimes with a second or third crack on the same vehicle.
Separate from the windshield issue, owners report a loud thumping noise and a pulsing air-pressure sensation in the cabin when the rear windows are lowered even a few inches, sometimes causing headaches.
Dealers reportedly attribute the cracks to rock damage, but owners state they found no chips, dents, or debris marks on the glass.
