2011 Volvo C30 Owner Complaints

Complaints about the 2011 Volvo C30 center heavily on the windshield losing its bond along the top edge. Owners consistently report that the glass separates from the body at the upper seal, allowing water to leak into the cabin and causing the windshield to flex or briefly bow outward when a door closes. Several owners describe being able to push up on the glass and feel it move freely, with some noting visible vibration while driving. This pattern accounts for the majority of complaints filed for this model year. Tires and structural issues each draw a small number of reports, but neither shows the volume or consistency of the windshield adhesion problem. The windshield separation issue is the defining complaint pattern for this vehicle year.
