| Description of the problem | The sulpher smell/carbon monoxide that comes into the cab of my '03 4runner v8, is extremely unacceptable. This is my 4th toyota in the past 6 years and i have never been more dissapointed with my vehicle. Took it to 4 dealers to all say to me that it's a gas grade issue. I'm tired of toyota not standing behind their product and helping loyal customers out with annoying issues. At the very least, offer an altenative system. |
