2010 vw Golf tdi - engine died after accelerating while entering a highway from a parking lot. I had to coast back into the parking lot at a dangerously slow speed. If there had been oncoming traffic it could likely have led to an accident. The car did restart after parking and turning the ignition off and back on. I did not lose power to any of the electronics, only to the engine. The tachometer went to zero and the accelerator was unresponsive. The car currently has approx. 34k miles on it.
