Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought the 2004 toyota corolla brand new, after purchasing the car i noticed a horrible "rotten" egg smell in the vehicle. i took it back to the dealer, to be told that i needed to try another gas station, i did and that did not fix the problem. i still continue to smell it and its bad. i was told that means the "exhaust" system is working properly....i think that is a poor reason for this horrible smell. the car also has a very loud rattling noise that comes from the front drivers side wheel. i've taken it to the dealer several times and nothing has been done to fix the problem. the car also pulls to the left..even after several alignments. i'm really disappointed because this was my first new car purchase. i purchased a toyota because of it's history of having very reliable cars. i'm sorry that i got this car. *jb
