replaced coupling on exhaust system next to catalytic converter. Shop owner commented that I should look for recall, should not have to be replaced. None found,.....
passenger door mechanism snapping sounded like something was in the door broken. Dealer stripped it all apart only to have management realize that the Saturn VUE had the same issue. Replaced door latch system and noise is gone - for now.
