Default Windsheild broke.. stress crack?

Anyone had this happen to them?

Im driving to work yesterday and watch my windsheild crack 7 inches.
I called Hummer dealer and they say likely a stress crack.
So when they replace the windsheild, should I expect this again?
I havent even off roaded the beast- just city driving.

Never seen one from stress. I think Jay cracked his doing a jump but that is to be expected. Yours sounds unusual. Dealer replacing it for free?

I hope so!
They said to bring it in and they will evaluate it to determine if something hit it.
I watched it happen as I was driving.
No stones nothing.... Just crack!
I think they will find the same thing- They had better.

In the event that is validated, they did say a free replacement was in order.
But even so, Thats a major replacement IMO....

Wow, looks like no rock chips anywhere. If poorly installed or glass just wasn't made right a stress crack isn't unreasonable at all.
