Problem overview

Some Chrysler 200 owners report experiencing starting issues after the vehicle cuts off while driving, with several potential causes identified. These include a dead battery, which is a common reason for starting failures, particularly if the battery is old or unable to hold a charge. Additionally, some owners notice that a faulty starter may prevent the car from starting, often indicated by a clicking sound when attempting to start the engine. Problems with engine timing, such as incorrect spark plug firing or camshaft and crankshaft synchronization issues, can also lead to starting difficulties. In certain cases, an update to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may be necessary, especially for specific engine models like the 3.6L engine. To accurately diagnose these issues, owners may need specialized tools like diagnostic scanners and multi-meters, and it is advisable to consult a certified technician for a thorough inspection if problems persist.
