Car won't start every time. If I leave it sitting awhile it will start
What is your question?
My car won't start at times but all the lights are on and radio is playing...I turn the key off and let it sit for awhile and it starts up but once I turn it off it's dead for awhile again. The little red light comes on when it doesn't start. I had this problem before and it cleared up for awhile but now it's back. I also dropped the key and broke it just this past Saturday but put it back together. I've been told it could be the security system, a loose ignition wire or I simply need a new key. Other than this once the car is started it runs great
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing it just has to sit awhile
How long has your 2014 Chrysler 200 had this problem?
Happened 2 months ago but went away. Now it's pretty much every other time I try to start it
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2014 Chrysler 200. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
This is going to be tough to diagnose without looking at it. You can start by checking the battery voltage when it doesn't start. If it's at least 11 volts then I'd say it could be ignition/key related but this will require an inspection by a tech to be sure. I wouldn't order any parts just yet.

The battery is good. The car actually did this a couple of months ago but then cleared up until this past Saturday. Now you can start it and drive but once it is turned off, it has to cool down before it will start again
