Description of the problem	In the vw gti there are various interior trim bits that are a plastic with a chrome plating on them. The issue with these are, that it eventually begins to detach itself from the plastic trim pieces and is extremely sharp like a razor blade. The reason for reporting it is that this has happened on multiple occasions with several pieces in my own personal vehicle both while the car is parked and in motion. Vw has a history of replacing these parts under warranty according to fellow owners, but this is a clear safety issue. The particular trim piece in question is right behind the gear shifter and in front of the cubby hole where one would plug in their media player or cellular phone any other various items used through out the day. This is a serious issue as it could very easily have sliced my wrist while i reached into the cubby to retrieve my phone. The frustrating part is this is not the first time this car has drawn blood during daily use. The engine start/stop button has, the gear shifter has and so has the steering wheel. It was only my thumb that was cut in the process, but it cut very deep like a razor blade would and it was a challenge to get it to stop bleeding even hours after. Now, the car was parked when this happened, but driving home certainly was a challenge with blood gushing from my thumb. This has happened to many people with the same vehicle according to many of the online sites that owners of these cars frequent. One was even a case where their very young child was reaching in the storage cubby for something and cut themselves rather badly on that piece of trim. If it can cut deeply like a razor blade, it is not implausible that it could have possibly cut their wrist and caused a much more serious injury. I have yet to report to vw myself, but, as this occurs to many owners, i feel it is my duty to insure it does not go unreported to nhtsa.
