| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 toyota 4runner and have had a strong sulfur smell inside the vehicle when accelerating to higher speeds. this smell is extremely irritating and this problem appears to be happening more frequently. toyota reps say its the gas, but my 2001 toyota sienna has never done this, even though the same gas is purchased from the same source. judging by all the similar complaints i've read toyota has a problem that is either being mis-identified, or ignored. one toyota service man informed me that the 2003 4runner has a new catalytic converter. seems logical to look into that area first.*ak |
