| Description of the problem | Excessive sulfur dioxide in 2004 v6 toyota highlander, there is already a tsb on the v4, but i own a v6 and have had this problem for almost a year now (stop and go and acceleration, there is a rotten-egg smell). I've been told by 2 toyota service stations that it is the gas. This is definitely not the case. I've tried every type of gas available. |
