Windshield cracked for no reason?

For the past few months, when I would get into the car and first start moving, I would hear a loud crack from the dashboard area. Sounded like plastic flexing and shifting. I figured it was the heat and the chassis flexing a bit when I first get in causing the dashboard to shift. It happened almost daily.

Then today it happened, and I watched my windshield crack along with it. Only thing I can think is that it was the window cracking the entire time.

I want to say it’s the heat, it’s a Florida car. But NEVER have I had this happen and I have had dozens of cars.

Maybe it was a small rock chip I couldn’t see?

I’m baffled. This is a new one to me. It is a GT350, but I assume it’s the same windshield across all models.

I live in AZ, and ever since I bought my 16 GT, I have heard a loud crack near the dashboard. It always makes me jump because it sounds like a rock hitting the windshield, but it isn’t. It happens randomly regardless of the circumstances, going slow, fast, over speed bumps, etc. I just assumed it was the chassis flexing and the dash lifting or shifting. However, it has never caused any actual damage to the windshield. It might have been a rock chip that coincidentally caused the crack.
