The tail lights of my new 2019 VW jetta, are a hazard for anyone washing the vehicle. They are very sharp at the bottom edge and you can cut your self. As a matter of fact that happened to the sales agent that I negotiated with on december 27th at VW gunther on delray beach florida. He went to help with the cleaning of the car for the delivery, and came back bleeding with a bandage in his finger. Now I am afraid to clean that area and I told everyone in my family to be careful.

December 2018 Injury

Interior ambient lighting issue on 2019 jetta gli autobahn: the ambient lights inconsistently light up during some starts. In some cases, none come on. In other cases, some # of the 6 zones will come on. Attached are pics where the driver side panel and center console lighting zones are off while all others are lit. I've taken it to the dealer twice without any resolution. The first time one LED was out (in front of the shifter). At 4k miles, LED lights should not be burning out.
