Description of the problem	My car, with less than 4k, has a "spontaneous" windshield crack that is large, long and travels across my line of vision which is a safety issue. Nothing hit the windshield, it is parked is locked garage and i did not drive over rough terrain, hit a pothole, drive under any bridges or park under a tree. I didn't drive on a highway either. I just got in my car and there it was! This crack is growing in length and i have noticed some black, foam trim curling up along the edge of where the windshield meets the hood. There is no visible point of contact that i can see, no chips, no star burst chip - just smooth on the outside and inside of car. There is also some strange splatter marks on the inside of the window as if a small carbonated beverage was shaken up. Opened & sprayed on it but the spots are hard & can't be easily scraped off. I will be contacting the dealership to see if they will replace it as i do believe this is a manufacturing defect.
