The cracks appear to be shrinkage cracks caused by a lack of crack
control joints.  Joints should have been scored or cut at about every
150 sq.ft.  You can monitor the crack movement by painting a small
amount of "White-Out" across the crack.  If it is still moving the
white-out will also crack.  If it does, I suggest you document with
dates of observation.  You may need this information to file a claim
against the builder, or at least to get the builder's attention.
What's up with all the rust stains?
