While driving rotten egg smell came into the vehicle, it didn't matter whether the windows were closed or opened. Consumer felt a burning sensation in the nose and the throat. Dealership/ floor manager made an incredible statement, inquiring if president bush put sulfur in the gas, call him.

Rotten egg (or worse) smell inside vehicle, the same as in my 1999 Toyota Camry. Visits to dealers with 1999 was no help. Just recently found out about service bulletin & had quarter vent duct assembly replaced. Same smell in 2003 Toyota Camry. Dealer said it no longer has vents so no problem. Could not get work order receipt to prove I was at dealers with this complaint. Th/MA.

Rotten egg smell for my 2003 Toyota Camry. It's been like this for the last 7 months, since I bought it new. I changed many different suppliers of grade 87 gas, and there is no difference. I have about 9000 miles on it. My friend who bought a 2003 Camry have the same problem as well.

Rotten egg smell comes into the car. Doesn't matter if the window is closed or opened. I will be contacting the dealer today. My 2003 Camry was a demo so I'm sure whoever was driving it had to have noticed the smell. Nobody said a word to me about this. I felt this was underhanded by the dealership. I decided to investigate further to see if anyone else has complained of the same problem and went to the internet to see of there were other complaints and I found on your site. So now I know there is a problem.

When driving a rotten egg smell enters the passenger cabin which causes the occupants to feel a burning sensation in the nose. The consumer noticed this about three weeks after purchasing the vehicle. The consumer contacted the manufacturer. The manufacturer states there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. The gasoline stations in Tennessee are not regulating the amount of sulfur in the gas.
