problem #2

Feb 042006

Sequoia 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles
Vehicle emits a rotten egg smell through the ventilation system whenever we step on the accelerator. Sometimes the smell is so bad that it burns our eyes and nose! Toyota acknowledged the problem, stating they could not do anything until a recall for the catalytic converter is issued. They further said that earlier year models (2003-2005) vehicles had the same problem!
