Bought a 2008 Chrysler 300 limited 3. 5 on December 18th. On Sunday the 23rd, I used the windshield washer due to flying road water after a rain, that resulted in a total electrical failure. Engine stopped until I released windshield washer switch, and when it restarted. . It was in a lower gear, resulting in significant slow down with braking. Such an event in faster and heavy traffic could be a significant problem for occupants and/or those driving behind a car experiencing such an event. The dealership has stated that it was due to a major electrical circuit board that was ordered. The car was left with the dealer on December 24th and today they called stating that the part is on back order and have no idea when it might be available. If on back order, one has to think that there is a much larger problem than just my automobile.
