Description of the problem	Vw e-golf electrical vehicle died suddenly while driving coming to an abrupt stop (as if the breaks had been fully applied) while entering single lane highway on-ramp during morning rush hour. Unable to roll the car to the side to avoid traffic. Unable to exit the car as other vehicles were swerving on both sides to avoid a collision. Took over 20 minutes to get assistance to pull the car to the side of the road (thanks to a courageous good samaritan) until police and tow truck arrived over 35 minutes after the incident. Vehicle was towed to dealer where mechanics were unable to deal with it (high voltage vehicle) until they received instructions from vw of america. It took about 1 week to have the issue resolved. Complete description of the work performed at the dealership: "1456 vehicle does not go into ready mode electrical system error displayed on mfd. Gff.

I'm concerned for the safety of the driver and passengers if the issue reoccurs.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
