Description of the problem	While accelerating off the ramp the car stalled and started to shake. It created a very dangerous situation since i almost got rear ended. Besides, being immobilized on the side of the very busy highway is dangerous as well. It turned out that one of the coils have failed and caused car to shake and loose the power. Couple of people that i know experienced the same issues with their vws. In my case they went at 54k miles.
