Description of the problem	While driving on highway, transmission suddenly lost power and went into limp mode (neutral) even though the car was in d and the same thing happened on stop light, car lost the power and i had to accelerate car hard to make it move and still didn't move finally i had to restart it, restarting the car solved the problem but it would come back once you are on highway speed, this can seriously cause the accident as you cant change the lane as your vehicle losses the power and it slows down and couple of times the transmission made a loud boom sound causing the vehicle speed to slowed down in very short span of time, and if the driver behind my car has short distance heshe might end up hitting back of the vehicle, there was a silent mercedes service bulletin s-b-27. 00/120 raised by mercedes date apr 8 2011 for changing the valve body conductor plate in 7 speed transmission, where as it should have been a recall for 2007-2008 model gl450 but mercedes got away with it. This is really a safety concern and hidden truth from customers. I would request you to please look into this issue and there are tons of other people on forums who had the same issues for these 2 year models some got the free fix as they was under warrant and some had to pay out of pocket, there were few instances where this conductor plate failed within 5-45000 miles.
