Description of the problem	I bought my 2018 ram 1500 express crew cab 4x4 a year and 2 months ago. In about a month after purchase i got a star-shaped crack on my windshield. In a few days i slightly hit the windshield with a wiper to remove a snow from it. And that star-shaped crack suddenly went all way through the windshield, from side to side. I replaced the windshield with the oem mopar one, identical to the factory one. A few days ago i was driving through a little town where i work, maintaining the speed of 30 mph due to the limit. Suddenly i heard something (very far from significantly heavy) hit my windshield. I've got a 3-4 inch crack from the bottom right edge (passenger side). I contacted the manufacturer, and it's representative told me to go to the authorized dealer for inspection. The service manager at the dealership showed me there is a tiny, needle tip size rock chip, about a couple inches from the edge on the crack. He said, there's no issue with anything about the windshield itself and stated that i have to replace it on my own. I called back the manufacturer and got the response there's nothing they can do for me in such a case. But as a part of the common sense: if the windshield gets cracked so easily, from the consumer's standpoint there's an obvious manufacturing defect and significant deviation from the defined quality and safety standards.
