The consumer noticed while driving, a rotten smell would come in from the vents. The consumer was able to drive to the dealer for inspection. The consumer informed the mechanic on several occasions this problem has occurred. This problem has not been resolved. Please provide additional information. There is still a rotten egg smell coming from the catalytic converter. Also the tire pressure monitoring system indicates a flat tire when tire is not flat. Consumer is happy with the minivan except for the sulfur smell and the false tire readings.
