I pulled over in a rest area and the windshield was fine, 2 hrs later I started the car and put the windshield defroster on because it started raining and now there's a crack in my wind shield. I do not see and rock marks or dings anywhere in the windshield. I am taking the car to Nissan on Monday to have them inspect the windshield.

On March 3rd, I spoke with service manager Mac regarding the ongoing issue, and he informed me that there is no solution to fix…
