Description of the problem	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.
