Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2003 santa fe lx 4wd with the 2.7l engine. almost from the time i purchased the vehicle, it has been suffering from a sulfur smell. the dealer made one repair that seemed to last for about a week, unfortunately, the odour is back. the dealer claims that they cannot duplicate this concern, however, they only drive the vehicle 2 or 3 miles when i take it to them to be serviced. funny how everyone except the dealer can smell this foul disgusting odor. *ak
