Default heat break window

We only had our Honda crv for a year now. The front windshield was replaced
when a crack caused by a stone that hit the window. That has happened with
other vehicles before.

Now yesterday it was high 80's and very humid heat -----after work I
went to the car ( sitting in employee parking lot from 6 am to 4 p.m. ) to
find the 2nd side passenger window ( tinted dark glass ) completely busted
and in splinters. I did call the cops prior to the insurance co. Nothing
taken out of the car and the officer felt the window just busted from the
heat.

I was wondering how often that happens.? I have other cars ( not Honda's )
in the past with never a window busted from the heat.

Any similar experience? And should one keep windows open a crack in extreme
heat. ? Or would turning on the AC in a hot car cause the window to crack??
Just wondering

thanks

Joan
