Consumer Description

WHENEVER GIVING THE VEHICLE MODERATE TO HIGH ACCELERATION, A ROTTEN EGG SMELL COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS. THE SMELL IS SO BAD THAT IT MAKES ME DIZZY AND I FEEL LIKE VOMITING. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE LEXUS DEALER THAT THIS IS A "NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE" BECAUSE OF THE SULFUR CONTENT IN FUEL. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS OF LEXUS VEHICLES IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *LA
