Description of the problem	Two out of the four engine coils went bad at the exact same moment causing the car to loose two out of four cylinders. This made the engine not able to idle or run. Had this happened while trying to clear an intersection or say merging on a highway the result could be catastrophic. Vw insists that this is normal wear and tear and not even covered by it's 5-year 60k mile power train warranty. Even though these coils that provide spark to the engine, and vital to it's safe operation, they insist that are only covered by the vehicle's 3-year 36-k mile warranty.
