Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We have owned the '03 4-runner for a couple of months and we have consistently experienced a "rotten egg, sulfur / ammonia type smell that has yet to subside. we have tried using exxon, sunoco, and shell 89-93 octane and the smell still persists. it is more apparent with the rear window down, but definitely exists with all windows up. the smell is choking and causes great difficulty to breath. it seems to be caused by moderate acceleration. *ph
