Description of the problem	While driving down the road from my home, i was coming up to a stop sign for a high speed road. While slowing down the vehicle completely died and i had loss of all power. Brakes were extremely hard to press and stop the vehicle as well as steering (loss of power brakes and power steering). The car rolled passed the stop sign and half way into the intersection as i firmly pressed the brake pedal down. I attempted to start it again but it only cranked and would not start. The intersection is on the other side of a hill making it difficult to see the intersection. I immediately put on my flashers (which wouldn't do good from the traffic on the road) but then put it in neutral. I was able to roll back enough, out of the way. Under a minute, i was out of the way (for the most part). A semi and a few additional cars come up the hill about 10 seconds of me getting the car rolled back, out of the way. I may have very well been hit by a semi going 55+ mph. I find myself very lucky i wasn't struck by another vehicle and injured or even possibly killed. I had to have the vehicle to the vw dealership. I'm told the high pressure fuel pump went out causing no fuel pressure and took out the entire fuel system. This caused the car to stall and was unable to restart. Vehicle is a 2009 touareg v6 tdi (turbo diesel).
