2013 Dodge Journey 4dr SUV

283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

6200 mi 1 day for diagnosis, 1 day for repair (part had to be ordered). Vehicle drove fine, but check engine light on. Problem was a fuel vapour sensor said 0 pressure in system. Sensor was replaced in 30 mins when they started work on it. 
65100 mi Engine light was on. Went to mechanics and they read the code. Said something about vacuum in gas system and they'd look at it next time I came in for oil change. Said it was nothing to worry about. Light went away a few days later... Will be going in for oil change soon (and new tires), so they can check again. No cost from mechanic for reading diagnostics.
