Cracked Windsheild

[Sionm]

I have a new 2019 Genesis G90, 5.0. With only 500 miles I got a cracked windshield after going through a car wash. I don’t think it was the car wash but the pressure put on the windshield when it was being wiped cleaned. This is just a guess but the cracked windshield was real. Anyone else have the same problem?

Hundreds of people have over the years. Thermal stress is often the culprit. Even at 500 miles you may have gotten a tiny chip you did not see and that exacerbates the problem.
Often it is cold water on a hot windshield. Sucks to have it happen on a new car. Hope you have full glass coverage.

I've had it happen once with water from a fire hydrant when I drove down my street.
