Engine Exhaust System Problems of Saturn VUE

2006 Saturn Vue, owned since new; started vehicle 3 days ago, engine sounded loud. When vehicle was driven, a broken, rusty bolt/stud with a nut on it was found on the garage floor with a fair amount of rusty debris. I began inspecting the exhaust system, and found the stud had broken off at a collection point for the two-into-one pipe between the engine and the catalytic converter. On-line search revealed multiple forums with people complaining of similar issues. I do not live in an area with abundant road salt.

The 2006 Saturn Vue had an exhaust bolt broke when taken to dealership at scottsdale Saturn. The bolt was connected to the exhaust manifold up by the engine. They said it must have broke off but I didn't believe them. So it would have cost to much at the dealership and took it somewhere else to get it fixed, but still think Saturn should have fixed it for free. I think it should be a recall because they Saturn said the bolt was so hot that it broke off. Also the ignition switch started giving me problems now and the keys are ok, it's the ignition switch and there should be a recall on that to. Alot of people with 2006 Vue Saturns are having the exhaust problems and ignition problems. What could you people do for all of us. Please help, thank you.

I own a 08 Saturn Vue. The car was a year old before the problem started. My car started having a very caustic odor that made your eyes burn as well as your throat. I took it to the dealer several times & they said there was nothing wrong & put air freshener in the vents. Needless to say, 4 months later I am still battling with them about this issue & we have filed a formal complaint with gm. The odor is also corroding the inside of my car. It is not only corroding metal tie downs in the back of the car, creating an oily film on the windows, but eating the laminate off parts inside the car. Saturn honestly does not know what is wrong with the car. The local dealer is doing what they can. It is gm that is being difficult. We finally have them convinced to do an air quality test while driving the car. The ft. Worth police forensic lab said there is an acidity to the air. They took several samples to run tests, which we are currently waiting the results. The frustrating part is their denial that there was anything wrong with the car & even after we proved to them that there was corrosion issues. I am seriously concerned for my health after breathing this toxic air for 4 months & anyone else out there that is having the same issues & not getting anywhere with Saturn or gm. Your attention to this issue is greatly appreciated.

Driving on interstate, check engine light came on, shortly thereafter all dash lights came on and car shut off on its own. Coasted to side of road, thankfully no accident. Took to dealer, diagnostic test ran, 5 codes came up, repaired only one according to paperwork. Next time drove vehicle happened again.

We bought a Saturn Vue in June of 2006. 2 months after we purchased the Vue we had to bring it in for exhaust and converter and oxidation replacement. Then 2 weeks later we had to have the ignition lock cylinders replaced we could not start our truck. Then in 07 we had the converter and manifold replaced. We were told that the manifold was torqued to much from the manufacture. Then June of this year same issue with the exhaust and converter again. Say the replaced a spring in the converter.
