Consumer Description

WHENEVER I MAKE A HARD ACCELERATION, THERE IS A FOUL SMELL IN THE CABIN. SMELL IS SIMILAR TO ROTTEN EGG OR BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I NORMALLY ALWAYS HAVE THE A/C ON AND IN RECIRCULATE. I HAVE NOTICED THIS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAD NO ANSWER AND SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS.
