Consumer Description

ALMOST CONSTANT SULPHER SMELL. DEALER STATES THAT THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEM, AND NO TSB'S. THEY TELL ME TO KEEP REAR WINDOW CLOSED. WHEN MY WIFE IS A PASSENGER SHE HAS HER EYES BURNING ALL THE TIME. IF YOU NEED TO STEP HARD ON THE GAS THE WHOLE CABIN FILLS AND IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU NOXIOUS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM ASAP, OR A CLASS ACTION SUIT SHOULD BE FILED. THIS PROBLEM HAS SOURED ME ON TOYOTA PRODUCTS FOR GOOD. LIKE THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE A HARD TIME CINVICING MY WIFE TO GO ANYWHERE IN IT, SHE ALWAYS WANTS TO TAKE HER KIA SORENTO, MORE COMFORT AND NICER AMENITIES. 2004 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER V-6 LTD 4X4 NOT ACCEPTABLE UNLESS YOU LIKE SULPHUR SMELL WHILE DRIVING! *NM
