Two weeks after purchasing my 2004 toyota corolla le i started to notice a "rotten egg" smell. It is awful and embarassing. After researching it on the internet, many many people have been told all they can do is switch brands of gas. That's nice, but my car shouldn't smell like rotten eggs. It's disgusting. There needs to be a fix for this that toyota needs to provide.
