| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2003 4-ruuner sport edition withthe v-8 in august, 2003. ever since i bought the 4-runner, there has been a strong rotten egg smell coming from the exhaust. it happens during acceleration or highway driving. the dealership inspected my 4-runner and said there was no problem. i then had the service writer ride with me to prove the rotten egg smell. i am afraid the exhaust gases getting into the car could create medical problems. i also wonder if my 4-runner will pass emissions inspections and i will be told to have it fixed before i can get a new sticker to drive. all indications is that toyota has known of this problem and has decided to pretend it does not exist. *ak |
