Description of the problem	Vehicle completely stopped while i was driving on the freeway. I was in the far left lane, and the engine failed and i was not able to move to the right shoulder. I put my hazards on and called for assistance. While on the phone it was clear that i was not in a safe position, so myself and my passenger exited the vehicle when there was a break in traffic. We were able to get across to the right side of the road, behind a guardrail. While on the phone with 911 someone slammed into the back of my car, causing extensive damage to both vehicles. Luckily no one was injured, and no other cars were affected. Both vehicles were inoperable and had to be towed from the scene. I was told by the volkswagen dealership that an engine coil broke off, and backfed into the harness, causing the engine to fail. In addition, i had just been to the dealer for an oil change that morning, and had driven 8 miles when the incident happened. The dealer says there is no relationship, and that engine parts failed. I am concerned that there is a defect with this part, as i have very low mileage on the vehicle. This incident put me in an extremely unsafe situation, and i want to report this in order to find out if this is a defective piece, so that this does not happen to anyone else.
