I've noticed my driveway crumbling after two winters, and I'm trying to figure out if it's due to freeze and thaw cycles or if there was a problem during installation. My house is about two years old, and I've attached a picture for reference. What can I do to remedy this issue?

It seems like moisture might be trapped under the concrete, freezing and causing cracks. This can happen if the driveway settles unevenly or if there are expansion joints that aren't working properly. Regular maintenance can help prevent this from getting worse.
It sounds like you're dealing with concrete spalling. Given that your driveway is just two years old, check if it's still under warranty. You might want to consider having it re-poured properly while you can still get coverage.
Consider what type of ice melt you might be using. Even if you don't apply salt directly, it can get tracked in from tires, especially if you're parking where the damage is occurring.
