Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER. I NOTICED THE EXTREME SULFUR ODOR WITHIN THE FIRST 500 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST A COATING ON THE ENGINE. NAIVE AS I AM I BELIEVED THEM. I AM AT 20,000 MILES AND MANY COMPLAINTS TO TOYOTA ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WAS THE GAS. THEY HAVE DONE THE TSB BUT NO AVAIL. IT IS STILL THERE AND NOT HEALTHY. *NM
