Consumer Description

1) Keep getting rotten egg smell from exhaust during acceleration; smell like it is coming from catalytic converters/exhaust system or front of engine. Never had or was informed by dealership that exhaust system could be replaced by Lexus although I brought my vehicles in several time for recalls. Brought vehicle in for recall to Fresno Lexus in 2020 never informed by dealership of Lexus being able to fix issue for free although I had told them of issue. Seems to be very toxic smell; gives me headaches while driving!!!!!!! Lexus should have repaired the issued for free when informed years ago but did nothing!!!!!
