Cruise Control problems of the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta

The Jetta does not maintain speed when cruise control is engaged. The Jetta increases speed up to an increase of 20 miles and hour, with cruise control engaged while going down hill.

The cruise control does not disengage when the clutch pedal is tapped or fully pressed. As soon as the clutch is released the car resumes the previous set speed. This behavior which is inconsistent with any standard vehicle I have ever driven creates an unsafe situation if the car is in cruise, approaching a slower car, and the speed is decreases by coasting. Upon re-engaging, the car speeds up and almost caused me to hit a car in front of me.

Trunk lid does not stay open unless it is pushed up all the way, multiple passengers when using the trunk in different occasions were hit by the trunk lid. When traveling low speed on cruise control vehicle speed will be lowered when getting close to another vehicle in its lane but if the immediate car switch lane at the same time another vehicle get into your lane, the forward collision system has a delay in detecting is there vehicle there or may not identify the vehicle joining your lane as a vehicle immediately and may suddenly increase speed as no vehicle was detected and result in a rear-end collision.
