NHTSA Complaint #10546622 — 2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT

A PASSENGER EXITED REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WHEN HE PUT HIS HAND OUTSIDE THE CAR AS HE EXITED, ONE OF HIS FINGERS RECEIVED A DEEP CUT. AFTER THE INCIDENT, WE INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND OUT A SHARP POINT AT THE END OF A CHROME TRIM ALONG THE WINDOW/ROOF LINE. LATER I INSPECTED FURTHER AND FOUND OTHER LOCATIONS NEAR THE DOORS WHERE SHARP EDGES/POINTS EXIST. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AS PASSENGERS ENTER OR EXIT THE CAR. PARTS OF BODY AND/OR HAND CAN RECEIVE CUT WOUND IF CONTACTED WITH THESE SHARP EDGES/POINTS. *TR
