I had a strange incident recently. My 2011 Journey Crew awd with a 3.6 engine just quit running. No MIL came on. Cruising at 75 mph, outside temp. reading showed 125 degrees. Fuel gauge showed just under half a tank. The engine stumbled twice and died. Coasted to a stop and tried restarting. Walked to a gas station, bought a 2 gallon gas can ad filled it. Walked back to the car and emptied it into tank. That took about 30 minutes. Car started like nothing was wrong. filled up at the station with about 9 gallons. Running great for the next 4000 miles on trip. Thanks for any suggestions, Quygynjim..

I own a 2011 journey crew awd with a 3.6 auto trans. It has just over 106,000 miles. It is a very reliable car with the usual wear parts being replaced; ie. pads, rotors, wipers. This winter has been different, and cold. I have very little heat coming from my defrosters. There is a a bit more coming from the lower vents, but only with the recycle button on. Being in the northeast makes for a chilly 30 minute drive to work, even after letting car warm up for 15 minutes. The dealer is telling me it is a plugged heater core. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
