K5 GT-Line 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

At around 5000 miles I've consistently began to smell a strong scent of sulphur and all the forums online are saying it's the catalytic converter but its hard to be sure, so I just put that its an exhaust issue. What sucks the most about this is that apparently sulphuric gas is very dangerous to inhale and causes brain cell death in most cases!

And guess which sucker has been inhaling it for the past 7-8 months! Come to think of it classes have been feeling harder as of late lol. The best part is that the good-for-nothing dealer says nothings wrong with it despite me and almost all the people that have gone in the car with me have reported smelling it (anything to avoid having to give free repairs to a vehicle under warranty am I right!) I'm going to take it to a regular mechanic soon enough and update this then.
