What owners wrote
Ignition control module failed on my 2005 saturn vue, equipped with 2.2l l4 engine. Cylinders 2 & 3 misfired, causing secondary failure of the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter after driving it only 10 miles to dealership after primary failure occurred. This is identical to the problem that is the subject for recall of several other saturn vehicles equipped with the same engine.
