Power Loss
for the 3rd time now, when i am WOT, the G loses all power. I have an E55 and the IC pump went bad, it feels identicle but what is odd is that the G already has the new pump, no CEL, and the fact its a 2011 that would be pretty quick for the pump to go bad.
I dont know if the G has other issues or if its just probably the pump again. Any of you guys ran into this issue?

To make things worse the dealer said they found no codes or issues.... It was 50 degrees outside and after WOT 2 times in a row it lost almost all power. It certainly feels like the IC pump problem but its a 2011.... And the dealer said there were no codes.
I cant imagine this is a heat soak issue. Do the G wagons heat soak that easy....?

When I first got the G55K it would throw codes under hard acceleration and go into a limp mode.
Turning the engine off and restarting would clear the fault.
There was a service bulletin T-B-07.08/61, March 6, 2006, that stated a software upgrade was required to resolve this issue.
Did the upgrade and no problems since.
