Front windshield cracked while parked in garage. Crack seems to start from the top center under the sensor box. No evidence of a rock crack. Defect or stress from the equipment box under the windshield.
On multiple occasions over the winter, when temperatures were below freezing and snow was present on the car and it was snowing, it was impossible to clear the front windshield of all precipitation and the front windshield would ice over as the windshield wipers worked. Snow would accumulate in the area below the windshield/at the top edge of the front hood. The defrosters are set down below the bottom of the windshield and seemed to contribute to the icing problem. I had to pull over multiple times in short distances to clear my windshield, but in certain cold conditions the ice would be incredibly difficult to remove as the wipers were adding moisture and thickening the film of ice; this condition makes for incredibly difficult and dangerous winter driving.

A break on the right side middle and running approximately. 18" toward the middle of the windshield. Had the windshield on 07-26-2013. On 08-23-2013 the windshield while driving while no traffic around the windshield cracked again. This time on the left side at the registration sticker running approximately. 6" toward the middle.
