Consumer Description

ROTTEN EGG SMELL SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THE REGIONAL REP WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. THE REP SUGGESTION WAS TO JUST PUT PREMIUM GAS IN IT. CERTAINLY NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM TOYOTA BUT I HAVE BEEN PUTTING PREMIUM GAS IN THE CAR AND IT DOES SEEMS TO TAME THE SMELL SOMEWHAT. IN ADDITION WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT ALIGNMENT AND THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT. HAVE PURCHASED A LIFE TIME ALIGNMENT WARRANTY BUT IT STILL SEEMS TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT QUICKLY. ALSO HAVE A CONSTANT WIND PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR. BEEN REPAIRED ONCE, GOING INTO THE SHOP AGAIN TO REPAIR. ALSO THE ORIGINAL TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 24,000 MILES. I WOULDN'T CONSIDER A TOYOTA IN FUTURE CAR PURCHASES.*AK
