For a couple of months, I occasionally heard a loud popping sound that I thought was my speakers. Then I realized it was my windshield cracking farther and farther. It started at the base of the windshield, where it couldn't even be seen from inside the car. When I examined the crack, there was no impact site from a rock, etc.
