Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When coming to a stop at a traffic light or stop sign, vehicle will emit a rotten egg (sulphur) smell into the passenger compartment. only happens when air flow is set to 'fresh air' and not to 'recirculate.' i fthe 'recirculate' option is truned on, the smell will dissapate. i feel it is unsafe to have exhaust gases entering the passenger compartment. i have heard others with similar complaints on this matter.
