The car first started to stop intermittently without any warning at all at the traffic intersection, then i was able to start it again after shutting every thing down. Then a month later, the same thing happened again but this time i was not able to start the car again. This could be a very dangerous safety situation if the engine shuts down while i was driving on the freeway. Mercedes only provided temporary solution by replacing the car hybrid inverter power electronic control unit through a campaign bulletin 2012080004. This bulletin applies to mercedes s400, 2010-2012 year model. However, the main problem still remains and poses a very serious safety issue for all the driver and passengers. This is not an isolate problem. Its a very known problem for lots of owners for those model years. My contact email address is "[xxx]" should you need to contact me. Please see the attachment for the inverter. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *cc *tr

First there was no power to the car so we replaced the battery. Then the car was running and shut off one day and would not restart. The vehicle was stationary when it would not restart. We had it towed to mercedes dealer. They are stating it the power electronics module. There are two recalls related to this part but when checking the vin ours is not part of them. That is impossible. The mercedes dealer even stated there were issues with this part that's why mercedes only made these cars for two years. Please see campaign no. 2012080004. *tr
