2004 toyota corolla, close to 3,500 miles. Purchased in july '03. When i run the heat inside the car, a very strong sulfur odor is emitted through the vents. Was told it was the gas, not the car, by both dealer and toyota customer service. I do not get this smell in any other car i ride in, including the '96 corolla i traded in. This release of sulfur oxide into the car interior is a serious health concern that…

I bought the 2004 toyota corolla brand new, after purchasing the car i noticed a horrible "rotten" egg smell in the vehicle. I took it back to the dealer, to be told that i needed to try another gas station, i did and that did not fix the problem. I still continue to smell it and its bad. I was told that means the "exhaust" system is working properly....i think that is a poor reason for this horrible smell. The car…

2004 corolla bought 32 days ago with 92 miles. Noticed sulfur smell when exiting vehicle only after first refill -- not noticed with fuel that came with it. Dealer said to try different gas and to make sure that my entire tank is empty before filling. Basically recommending that i wait. (they did say to fill the tank -- not just put in a couple gallons) after the second refill (and about 16 days since purchase) i…
