Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A COROLLA CE IN OCT 2003. I HAD NOT HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A MONTH WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL A SULFER(ROTTEN EGG) SMELL. I COTINUED TO SMELL THIS AND IT DID NOT GO AWAY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SHOWED ME A BULITEN THAT STATED IT WAS NOT THE CONVERTER. THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME THAT AMERICAN GAS HAS TOO MUCH SULFER CONTENT AND THE TOYOTA ADDMISSIONS WERE AT A HIGHER LEVEL THEN THE AMERICAN GAS. I NOW HAVE 15,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE SMELL IS STILL THERE. I WENT TO TRADE IT IN TODAY TO GET A COROLLA S MODEL. THE DEAL IS NOT MADE YET, BECAUSE I HAVE READ THAT THE 2005 COROLLAS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.
