Description of the problem	Rear suspension coil spring fractured resulting in a sharp loose piece of steel. This happened when i was driving the car, and the car started to make an unexpected metallic noise. This loose piece could have ruptured the tire and caused a safety issue or accident. The repair shop deemed the car not drivable due to safety. I paid to have both rear springs and spring pads replaced. This car has less than 51k miles. This is a surprising failure and i was concerned for my and other owner's safety. This same exact failure is the subject of an nhtsa recall for 2015 and later vw golfs, the same model i have. I contacted vw and they said they would not cover the cost of the repair.
