I have a 2016 axis with the giant windshield all the way to the top. When I bout it had a crack in the lower passenger corner. Finally shelled out 7 grand for new one, installed by a company. 800 miles into my trip, crack began in almost the same spot, about 8 inches. No rock chip, started on edge. Frustrating as hell.
What are my o-turns here?

I have not seen anyone on this forum with a 2016 (aside from those earliest 2016s) or later that had a cracked windshield from stress. Rocks can damage any windshield, but that huge windshield is a big target. I always leave plenty of room behind dump trucks and flatbeds to reduce the risk.
On the plus side, the view from that big expanse of glass is sometimes stunning.
