 Description of the problemI purchased my 2003 4 runner last july and almost immediately noticing a sulfur smell. I was told by the dealer that it was the fuel. I continued to complain and was finally admitted to by toyota that this is a problem with their "metal components" and the blending of the fuel. The odor is so strong in my car that clients are complaining and asking about septic issues.*ak
