Description of the problem	My mercedes e500 2004 randomly loses power after coming to a stop. I have to pull over to the side and stop. I turn the engine off and back on and it the power is ok. The check engine light goes out after restarting. This would happen one or twice a month. I only have 45k on the car. Now it's happening quite often. The check engine light would come on and than go out after restarting. I have taken it to the dealer several times and they have found no trouble. They give me the gas cap , bad gas, ect. Today i lost power took in to the dealer and now they are stating a power train problem. I get nervous on the road way when i lose power because i can not speed up and get away from on coming traffic. The dealer is stating 2 to 5 thousand dollars for the repair. This car has less than 45k and i keep it in mint condition and only drive it on week ends. I see that several e500 2004 owners have had the same problem via an on line forum for 2004 e500.
