| Description of the problem | There is an awful rotten egg sulfur smell being emitted from my 2005 toyota 4 runner when driving with back window open. After doing much research, i see there have been many tsb's issued for 4 runners dating back to 2003 and up to the 2006 models. I brought my car into the dealer, but they tell me my engine is not covered under the tsb's issued. I feel this is a problem that should be covered. *jb |
